Death... and me

chapter-2986
Sunlight Energy constantly created more Sunlight Beasts in the Sunlight Realm, so no one was surprised by the sudden development. With so much Sunlight Energy trapped inside the Palace, it was only natural that it gave birth to many Sunlight Beasts.
Diliy immediately took his sword and activated his Sword Intent. A slash followed, and a Sunlight Beast's core was split in two without being able to offer resistance. Woterto then joined Diliy's side while the Elemental Transformation Realm experts from their Sect gathered behind. The Sword Intent power of the group skyrocketed before Diliy pointed in the Palace's direction. "Charge!"
Zana didn't delay, seeing that Diliy wanted to enter the Palace even though so many Sunlight Beasts were there. "Feelo, with me!"
She and her Stage Nine Sun Urpin immediately got close to each other. Zana then took out another treasure of the many in her possession before throwing it ahead. Spatial Power immediately burst out of the Treasure, creating a tunnel of void between her and the Palace Gate. She had no intention of fighting the Sunlight Beasts. She only cared about the Divine Werdlem Stone.
The other experts weren't any slower. They all used their own methods to get rid of the Sunlight Beasts while charging to the Gate.Rean and Roan immediately attacked as well. Roan used a sword instead of his Scythe since using a different Intent would disrupt the group's charge.
Diliy glanced behind, surprised to see that Obelix could also use Sword Intent, just like Asterix. Yes, he still doesn't know the twins' true names. In any case, he thought Roan was a strategist after the last contest in the Rusbav Country Capital. Yet, he seemed to be no worse than Rean. No, he seemed even more refined, actually. 'Just what is wrong with these two brothers...'
Amelia had Karev on her side. The two, as well as two elders, worked together to open the path for their Rusbav Royal Family. Their force couldn't be underestimated. They didn't have a bunch of Elemental Transformation Realm subordinates with them, but the four of them were at least in the Late Stage of the Transition Realm. And let's not forget, Amelia is considered the strongest Transition Realm expert of Rusbav.
*Roar!*
The Sunlight Beasts didn't back out, though. Instead, the groups that were in front were targeted even more. There were still Sunlight Beasts coming out of the Gate, after all.
*Boom, boom, boom, boom...*
Explosions of Spiritual Energy, Sunlight Energy, and Elements happened all around. Some groups couldn't deal with the Sunlight Beasts, so they were forced to join forces with other groups that had the same problem. Not all of them were battle experts.Diliy and the World Splitting Sect was the furthest ahead group. The Sunlight Beasts, including a few that seemed to have power Similar to Transition Realm, simply couldn't stop their charge.
Gofel and his Sect weren't much worse. They didn't have a bunch of Sword Cultivators, but they have made talismans. That's what his sect specialized in. Attack Talismans, Defense Talismans, Enhancement Talismans, you name it, they had it.
A few minutes later, the Sunlight Beasts stopped coming from the Palace Gate. There were still many, but at least their numbers weren't increasing anymore.
Sure enough, Diliy's group was the first one to get to the gate. After all, when it came to pure attack power, a group full of Sword Cultivators was bound to have the advantage. Not to mention the other Sword Cultivation force that Diliy met at the entrance hasn't arrived in this place yet, so only Diliy's Sect could charge with Sword Intent like this. The Sunlight Energy burst from earlier had already dissipated, too. The concentration was still high, but they could resist it.
Diliy looked at his Elemental Transformation Realm experts and ordered. "Shield my disciple and his friends from the Sunlight Energy. We are going in."
"There is no need," Rean quickly spoke, coming out of the protection given by Diliy. The Sunlight Energy concentration was high, but not to the point they couldn't resist. "Master, don't worry about my brother, Klifon, and me. We can resist on our own. Fast, before the others arrive."
Diliy nodded, satisfied. "Great! Alright, everyone, charge!" They all jumped into the Palace Gate. However, they didn't simply enter like one would expect. Instead, as soon as they passed through it, they were all teleported away.
As soon as Diliy entered the Palace with his group, including the twins, Zana was the second one to step in front of the Palace Gate. She saw how Diliy's group was teleported, so she would most likely suffer the same fate if she followed them. Well, she didn't really care. The Divine Werdlem Stone was just too important. "Feelo, we are going in too!"
"Obviously!" Feelo blasted a Sunlight Beast that was at the exit of the Spatial Tunnel Zana created before following her. Zana and Feelo disappeared into the gate right after.
Gofel and his Sect arrived at the same time as Amelia and the Rusbav Experts. They looked behind and could see some Sunlight Beasts charging at them. Too bad they had no intention of fighting the beasts. They simply ignored the beasts and entered the gate, disappearing with several flashes of silver light.
More groups arrived at the gate while suffering some losses. Nonetheless, none of them cared about those who died and jumped into the gate as well.
Not everyone managed to get to the gate, though. A few weaker groups were swarmed by the Sunlight Beasts and died or had to turn around and flee. Those who managed to flee only had one choice now. Go out, look for the other Transition Realm experts who haven't found the palace yet, and join forces with them before coming back.
*Zush!*
Rean and Roan suddenly appeared inside a room with a few nests. The nests were definitely made of the plants they saw on their way here, brimming with Sunlight Energy. Yet, there were no birds, Sun Urpins, or anything else. The nests were simply empty.
They looked at each other and noticed they were alone there. Everyone else disappeared. Yet, just as they were about to talk, another voice echoed in their minds... a very familiar... and annoying voice.
[Fucking hell! You are finally here! Just how long were you planning to make me wait in this shit place? Do you know how bored I was?!]
Rean's mouth twitched. However, he quickly calmed down and pretended to be deaf. "Did you
hear anything?"
Roan instantly shook his head, not wanting to recognize that voice's existence. "I heard nothing. Let's find an exit and get out of here. Also, let's make sure we will never come back."
"Great idea!" Rean couldn't agree more.
[Fuck you!]
