Death... and me
chapter-2514

?'Still, there is one part I think this Light Beast is telling the truth,' Rean added.

[The connection between the Mirror Globes and the Mirror Cubes it mentioned?] Sister Orb asked.

'Yes,' Rean nodded. 'I've been feeling Kentucky's movements, and he seems to be following the same path as me, going in a straight line to the depths of the Azum Dimensional Realm. It just so happens Kentucky stopped on the way six times until now. I, too, stopped six times, and it was because of the Mirror Globes.'

Sister Orb agreed with Rean. [Indeed, it would be too much of a coincidence if Kentucky hasn't found the same type of things on the other side.] She also had another question. [Alright, then, what about the Angels? Do you still think the ones returned to the entrance are copies?]

'No idea,' Rean answered. 'But there is a good chance this time that they are. After all, the soul copies were put inside copies of their bodies. In this case, it shouldn't be too much of an issue to get a good compatibility. After all, all the angels this Light Beast killed after the first time gave it the same sensation. Only the first time was different from the rest.'

'This kind of feeling this Light Beast had wasn't something someone put in there. This feeling was something this Light Beast developed on its own during the many years it stayed here.'

[I think so, too. It simply wouldn't make any sense to add this fake different sensation after killing the same angel two or more times.]

Rean was happy they were on the same page. 'Exactly!'

Rean then returned his attention to the Light Beast and smiled. "Thank you, beasty. I'm very happy with your answers. Now, is there something I should know other than the information you told me so far?"

"There is, master!" The Light Beast answered. "This is the last Soul Copying Sphere you will find. After this point, you won't find these devices anymore."

"Oh! Why is that?" Rean asked back.

Yet, the Light Beast was oblivious to the reason. "I don't know, master. If I were to guess, I think it is because none of the young angels that enter this place ever go this far inside. After all, they are at most in the Saint Realm when they come to train. I can count in my paws the number of times I've seen an angel in the Elemental Transformation Realm or above."

"I think you are right," Rean understood. "It would be too much of a waste of resources to have more Soul Copying Devices deeper in the Azum Dimensional Realm if no angels ever get that far."

"Right!" Rean remembered something. "Beasty, how does one go out of the Azum Dimensional Realm without dying? You probably know that much after all those angels you killed, right?"

"Yes, master!" The Light Beast didn't waste time. "If master wants to leave, all you need to do is use one of the several altars. Anyone who touches them is instantly sent out."

"Altars?" Rean narrowed his eyes. "I haven't seen a single one of them until now."

"That's because they are all near the chasm, master," the Light Beast answered. "It's through the chasm that the altars send you back to the entrance of the Dimensional Realm. That's why they are all near it."

"I see," Rean nodded, satisfied. "Alright, anything else?"

"No, master!" The Light Beast shook its head. "That's all this beasty know."

Rean then stopped with his Light Element and the petting. "Very good, then I'll take my leave. Sorry for your companions, beasty. Don't worry; I won't do anything to you."

The Light Beast was taken aback, almost crying when Rean stopped. "But master... you can't leave beasty behind!" Yet, as Rean's Light Element dissipated and the sensation of Rean's hands disappeared, the Light Beast slowly returned to its previous self.

*Boom!*

Once again, Rean destroyed the Mirror Globe, making the Invisible Barrier around it disappear. Right after, he got the Monolith... or Cube, from inside. "Until some other day, beasty."

"Y-You! Wait right there!" The Light Beast tried to gather its anger, but it wasn't easy after everything that happened. "Beasty want to go wit- No, I want to kill you!"

Rean laughed and released his Divine Sense, knocking the Light Beast down. "Alright, for your own good, I'll put you to sleep now. Goodbye."

Without being able to resist, the Light Beast passed out. It would take several days until it finally awoke again. To be sure it wouldn't be attacked during its sleep, Rean hid the Beast's body, even though very few angels really got this far.

[Is that really okay?] Sister Orb asked as Rean took care of the Light Beast. [What if it ruins your plans in the end?]

Rean shrugged his shoulders. 'I just can't force myself to kill him. He is a good boy.'

[You should just get a dog for yourself.] Sister Orb felt helpless.

Rean smiled and, at the same time, felt a little regretful. 'I should have taken a few dogs and cats with me back when we were on Earth. I never had the chance to enjoy them because of my issue with emotions back then. So regretful...'

On the other side of the chasm, Kentucky had just finished swallowing another small Mirro Globe. His Bloodline then went a step further... although Kentucky could feel their effects disappearing. "So sad... they were nothing like the first one I ate near the start."

Aelrie was just happy Kentucky got no side effects. "Don't complain, Kentucky. Even the most advanced pills in the Universe become less effective the more you consume them. Let alone some strange item you got in the middle of nowhere. You should be happy it could help someone at your cultivation."

"True..." Kentucky nodded. "And it seems like Rean just finished whatever he was doing as well. he is flying further into the Dimensional Realm."

Kentucky then had an idea. "Aelrie... how big is the distance between both sides of the chasm?"
