Death... and me
chapter-2831

As Rean, Roan, and Beelzebub continued to teleport, they found a trap now and then like before. However, Beelzebub was right about their lethality. For anyone at a lower level, it would be game over. But for them, these traps were nothing but a nuisance that made them waste time.

Ultimately, their group kept teleporting for an entire week. Initially, Rean and Roan were around ten kilometers apart from each other according to their Soul Connection. However, both could tell they were at least three thousand kilometers away.

'Seems like your idea is working, Roan,' Rean commented as he went to the corner of the room he had just teleported. There, he found another one of Roan's Dark Element and Divine Sense traces. The number of times he found them was increasing, showing that the line of rooms was probably reaching the limit of the rooms available for it.

Roan teleported another time and found one of his traces as well. 'Indeed. Let's keep working.'

As they teleported, Rean also took the time to ask. 'Sister Orb, can you feel the Formation controlling these rooms?'

[No,] She quickly responded. [Like I said, I froze the system so that the changes of the integration wouldn't happen before you were free to watch it. I use the system to feel and hack into other formations. Naturally, this ability is OFF at the moment.]

'I see...' Rean nodded. 'Depending on what happens, we might have to turn the system ON again.'

Another two days passed until suddenly, Roan noticed something. "Hm?" He touched the Spatial Rune that should teleport him further ahead, but nothing happened. "It is not working."

"What?" Beelzebub quickly came forward and touched it as well. Sure enough, the Spatial Rune didn't work. "Did this place finally run out of rooms?"

'Haha! I found the exit!' It was then that Rean's message arrived in Roan's mind.

In the room Rean had just teleported, there was a Spatial Gate connected to the outside. Not only that, the room was filled with Divine Origin Energy and all the normal elements.

It was then that Roan understood. He was trying to break this place by making it run out of rooms for them to teleport further away from each other. 'I see... Since we are making this place run out of rooms, as long as one of the rooms had an exit, this place would be forced to use it at some point. From the looks of it, the formation operating this place left the room with the exit to be the very last one. If you try to teleport further away, the Spatial Runes in your room shouldn't be working.'

Rean quickly touched the rune on the side that should teleport him ahead. Sure enough, nothing happened. 'You're right. The only Spatial Rune working in this room at the moment is the Spatial Rune that will send me back to the previous room. The other runes would need more rooms available, but since there are none, they aren't working.'

Rean then focused on the Spatial Gate. 'Should I enter it?'

Roan shook his head. 'Not yet. We don't know if you will be brought too far away from me and cause the rooms to agglomerate around Beelzebub and me. That would leave us trapped for good until you manage to get close enough for me to enter the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.' Beelzebub, seeing Roan's silence, began to lose his patience. "What is it? Speak. What are you and that idiot speaking?"

Roan turned to Beelzebub and explained the situation.

"What? He found the exit! Shit! What about us?" Beelzebub complained.

"It is easy," Roan already knew what to do. "You just need to enter my Dimensional Realm. Rean and I are connected to the same Dimensional Realm. That means I can enter the Dimensional Realm here and exit it where Rean is located."

Beelzebub narrowed his eyes. "Enter your Dimensional Realm? For what? For you to seal me again like in the past? Pocket Dimensional Realm owners are gods in their Dimensional Realms. I might even get myself killed by you in there."

Roan shrugged. "Well, it is up to you to accept my offer or not. I'm leaving. You can go ahead and try to find an exit by yourself then."

Of course, Beelzebub immediately stopped him. "Wait!"

"What is it?" Roan glanced at him.

"Let's make a pact that you will let me come out whenever I want," Beelzebub asked.

"Don't wanna. Goodbye!" Spatial Power surrounded Roan, and he was about to disappear. However, Beelzebub quickly called him out. "Alright, alright! I will trust the fact you need my help to deal with Garisan. Just let me go with you."

Roan faintly smiled as he nodded. "That's more like it. There is just one problem."

"What is it?"

Roan pointed to the room they were in. "There is a chance that once we disappear, the strain we are forcing on the formation controlling the rooms will be released. That means the rooms will immediately converge around Rean and the Spatial Gate there will close. If that happens, we will need to start from zero again."

"Oh! So basically, you need someone to stay here so that the room still thinks it can't move, correct?" Beelzebub asked.

"That's it. The problem is that this someone will be trapped in our-"

*Zush!*

Suddenly, several bodies appeared in the middle of the room. "This should be enough."

Roan narrowed his eyes. Those bodies were alive... and at the same time, they weren't. They only had a sliver of their soul inside. It was more like they were some zombies... but without any rotten flesh. "What are these?"

"What else? They are me, of course," Beelzebub answered.

Roan immediately understood. "I see. The sleeve of souls inside them is yours."

"Yes," Beelzebub nodded. "I'm a Soul Being, did you forget? Doing something like this is easy. I don't mind losing them at all since they don't affect me. They are just perfect for this

task."

Roan wasn't going to ask about the bodies being used. A Soul Devil like Beelzebub having such things in his Pocket Dimensional Realm was to be expected. "Alright, I'll pull you inside my Dimensional Realm. Don't fight back."

*Zush, zush!*

In an instant, they appeared inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. However, Beelzebub didn't even have time to put up his guard before he and Roan disappeared once again. In the next second, they were together with Rean, right in front of the exit.

"So you truly let me come out..." Beelzebub sighed in relief.

Rean laughed in response. "Hahaha! We do need you for the war against Garisan, after all."

"What if there was no war then?" Beelzebub asked back.

"I don't think you want to know the answer to that question," Roan responded with a cold

smile.

"You are truly hateful..." Beelzebub sighed, giving up arguing against these antics.
