Death... and me
-
chapter-2438
Anfrou didn't understand what they were talking about. "Teach me a lesson? Who, these guys?"
Anfrou was a Death Spirit born a long time after the extinction sphere and war events, way after the Soul Devils were dealt with. Simply put, he was already born in a time of peace when there were no more cultivation energies on this side of the Universe. Because of that, he failed to notice Roan's group strength.
Kafan shrugged his shoulders. "Whether they can teach you or not is up to them. As for you, my orders are still the same. You have to bring them wherever they want to go on this side of the Universe. Just use your own Death Doors."
Anfrou narrowed his eyes but nodded in the end. Although he didn't agree with Kafan about how the Death Spirit Copies were treated, he knew Kafan was the leader of their race. He couldn't go against his words. "Fine. So, where do you guys want to go first?"
Kafan raised his hand and looked at Roan and the rest. "You go outside and wait with Anfrou. Little Pebble, you stay behind for a moment."Everyone nodded, and they left the hut.
Inside, Soul Gem, Sister Orb, and Soul Gem remained. Kafan approached the Control Orb after that. "Let's get over with it. I'll going to channel a few of my celestial laws into your soul."
Soul Gem nodded. "Great! However, are you sure you will lose your memories of these laws and will have to comprehend them again? It might take quite a few hundred years until you recover them all."
Kafan nodded. "I told you I would compensate you for waking you up again, didn't I? Of course, if you don't want to, then you can leave and finish recovering your soul on your own."
"No, no, no!" How could Soul Gem reject that? "Please, go ahead, senior Kafan. I'll make sure to repay this debt in the future."
"I'll hold onto your words," Kafan was satisfied with that much. "Now, bring your soul out of the Contro Orb. I won't be able to do anything with just this astral projection of yours."
Immediately, the Control Orb shined as a soul began to float from inside it. As soon as it appeared outside, it began to slowly dissipate, showing that the damage was still considerable. Of course, compared to when Soul Gem attached himself to the Contro Orb, it had recovered by a lot.Kafan then touched Soul Gem's soul and started the process.
Outside, Rean, Roan, and everyone else felt like their bodies were being pressed by a huge power. All around them, space distorted, elements moved in weird ways, and caused them to not be able to control their own cultivations as they wished. That was a feeling no one there had ever felt before.
However, at the same time, it was as if nothing was happening. Rean's group looked at the Death Spirit Copies in the distance, and they moved around as if they couldn't feel anything. "Just what is this? Feels so oppressive!"
Roan glanced at the hut and spoke. "My master is probably controlling the celestial laws; the same thing they said could harm experts at his level. Did you forget? My master said that he would use this method to help Soul Gem recover even further."
Rean nodded. "I feel so weak... Even in front of a Peak Divinity Realm expert like Jeskli or the Essence Race members, I didn't feel so powerless. I can't even control my cultivation correctly, and it is not sealed at all. It's as if my own body is afraid of doing what I want."
Anfrou wasn't feeling any better. He was at the Initial Stage of the Space-Time Realm and seemed to be suffering even more. "I hate when he does it..."
Kafan had used this method before to talk with other experts of his level on the other side of the Universe, so Anfrou knew this feeling.
Seeing Anfrou's condition, who had a higher cultivation than them, Roan understood the issue. "It's the comprehension of laws. The closer one is to the laws, the greater one suffers around this kind of power. This Anfrou here is already in the Space-Time Realm, so he has already begun to comprehend his own laws to continue his cultivation."
Roan then pointed at the Death Spirit Copies in the distance. "Yet, those guys there don't even know what we are talking about. Naturally, they can't feel this pressure."
Suddenly, the pressure disappeared, returning the ambient to its original form. The hut of the door opened right after as a floating orb came from inside. It's just that Soul Gem's projection was nowhere to be seen anymore.
'How is it, Sister Orb?' Rean asked through the connection with the Soul Gem System.
[It was okay. Kafan managed to accelerate Soul Gem's recovery by quite a large amount. You could say that the result was this good exactly because Kafan is also a type of Soul Form being. He truly knew his stuff. Soul Gem has now returned to his slumber, but it shouldn't take long for him to completely recover now.]
Rean and Roan nodded. As long as everything worked, then that's what mattered.
Their group then entered the hut once again, meeting Kafan on the other side, who was preparing more tea. Kafan looked at them and nodded. "Everything worked fine. You guys can go now. I need some time to consider a few things. Oh, right! Once you decide to return to the other side, come back to see me. I'll send you guys over. Anfrou, don't disappoint me. Be a good guide."
Kafan then used his Divine Sense to tell Anfrou about Rean's companions, so Anfrou didn't mind. "Alright, uncle." Anfrou nodded and walked out. Rean quickly followed while Roan went back to the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm with Sister Orb.
"Uncle told me about the other members of your group. Do you want to go there, or should I bring you somewhere else?" Anfrou asked Rean.
"First, let's meet the other members of our group," Rean quickly spoke. Kentucky and Essefy were still waiting for them.
