Death... and me
chapter-2978

Klifon was still shocked by the outcome of the earlier attack. The twins didn't tell him anything. When the assault commenced, they simply touched his ethereal body and told him to stay quiet. Klifon was then moved slowly into a certain position on that chaotic battlefield until everyone's eyes missed his presence for a moment.

It was also at that moment that he felt the light around him going weird. He could still see everything in the surroundings, but he could tell that something wasn't right. His surprise only increased when Rean and Roan began to fly leisurely between the battles while pulling him with them. Some of the experts from both enemies and allies passed closed by, but none of them seemed to be able to notice his presence, nor the twins'.

When they were far away, Rean did his comment about the Werdlem Empire, and only then did Klifon wake up to reality. "Holy shit! How the hell did you do that? How come none of them noticed we moving away this slow?"

Rean laughed in response while they continued to move away from the entrance path. "Did you forget? I did something similar back when you met Falatis for the first time."

Klifon's memories went back to the days he first met Rean and Roan... or Tom and Jerry, for that matter. When they left, the airship from the Parton Sect came and Falatis asked for his help in the airship. Then, he was contacted by Rean through Spiritual Sense. Yet, Klifon couldn't notice Rean's presence with his Spiritual Sense at all. "Right, you did something like this before. However, you were outside of the airship, and no one knew you were there. It was different this time. Everyone knew of our presence, and they still missed us."

Rean nodded. "Yeap, that's a little skill of mine. There is no need for you to know how it works since you wouldn't be able to use it anyway. All you need to know is that it is very useful in this place, especially because Spiritual Senses are severely restricted."

Roan ignored that and looked around. "Alright, we are here, but where do we go? Klifon, this is your territory. Can you find out anything?"

Klifon wanted to know more, but it would be ridiculous if the twins suddenly told him all their secrets. "Well... let me see." He calmed down and decided to ignore the twins' ability for the moment. If anything, that is a great reassurance for Klifon in this unknown place...

Klifon's mind got linked to the surroundings. He had never been here before, but it was as if he had always been here. Deep inside his core, a faint wing emblem began to shine a little, and a connection seemed to be established. Little did anyone know, but only Klifon had that ability in this place. 'So you are still there...' He thought to himself.

"Okay, what I can tell is that the Sunlight Energy seems different in that direction. It is only barely, but it might mean something," Klifon said while pointing his wings ahead.

The twins nodded and they quickly flew in the direction Klifon pointed at.

Far ahead, Zana and Feelo had long since separated from the other Transition Realm experts. No one knew where to find the so-called Divine Werldem Stone, so sticking together didn't make much sense either.

'Heaven's Punishment!'

Zana controlled a clear blue cube in her hand that emitted strong Lightning Element properties. It shined for a moment, and a bolt of lightning came from the skies, striking down

a Sunlight Beast right at its core. The Sunlight Beast was as strong as an Elemental Transformation Realm expert. Yet, its core was pulverized in an instant. It had no chance against Zana's power.

"As expected of the owner of the Huwester Treasure Store," Feelo commented on the side. "Everything you used so far was rare treasures that even Transition Realm experts would have a hard time putting their hands on."

Zana put the cube away and smiled. "Why do you think none of those geezers dares to antagonize me? I might not be the strongest cultivator when it comes to individual power, but I sure hell have enough treasures to make up for the gap and take advantage. That goes for you as well. You better not try anything funny."

Feelo didn't feel worried. "I can't even if I wanted to. I still need you to get me that thing back in your Treasure Store."

"It's good that you know," Zana answered. Following that, she took another item from her Spatial Ring. It looked like a frame of a small flower, quite weird. Yet, it seemed to also connect with the Sunlight Realm somehow. The frame absorbed the Sunlight Energy from the surroundings, causing the flower frame to take the shape of an ethereal yellow flower.

The flower floated away from Zana's hand and began to spin for a few seconds. Finally, its bud pointed in a certain direction while Sunlight Energy made a visible line ahead. Seeing that, Zana's eyes lit up. "Finally, some reaction. If it had taken any longer, I would definitely go back and kill the guy who sold me this. Let's go, Feelo. Make sure to keep your senses sharp to prevent any danger."

Feelo nodded. "Alright. However, I can only help you with things related to Sunlight Energy. If there are any traps or whatever that don't use it, I might not be of much help. Of course, you are paying me, so I will do my best to help you achieve your objective nonetheless."

"That's exactly what I need," Zana didn't mind. "Now, let's go."

Somewhere else, an old man had his eyes closed while his friend protected him by the side. If Rean was here, he would definitely recognize the guy. It was Diliy, the Sect Master of the World Splitting Sect. His friend, a Late Stage Transition Realm expert, was a high elder of the same sect.

Diliy opened his eyes, looking far away. "The old lady is on the move again, and she seems quite excited this time. Woterto, you were right. She seems to know something." Woterto wasn't surprised. "I know her. She never takes a gamble. If she came to this expedition, it was because she had a hidden card. Still, to think your Sword Intent got this far. You can even leave a little bit of it inside someone and follow it later. Truly impressive." Diliy got up. "I only learned how to do this recently. Don't worry; you also saw the same demonstration as I did back then. You are not far from that. Anyway, let's go. There is a limit to how far I can perceive it."

Finally, the two shot in the distance together.
