Death... and me
chapter-3002

*Rumble!*

Suddenly, the entire Sunlight Realm began to tremble. Other than the twins, no one knew the sole source of Sunlight Energy, the Golden Crow, was now gone. The Realm was partially sustained by the Golden Crow's presence, so the Realm was now changing.

The twins came out somewhere in the Realm, looking at the outcome. "She could at least have told us what will happen to this place..."

*Ziiiiii!!!*

A powerful light covered everyone's eyes, blinded their Spiritual Senses, and made everyone's bodies numb, including the twins. That wasn't good news since there were still many Sunlight Beasts everywhere. If no one could tell right from left, wouldn't they all be slaughtered?

However, such a thing didn't happen.

*Hualalala...*

The light disappeared, and before everyone's eyes, all the constructions disappeared without a trace. The day gave way to the night, and all the Sunlight Energy in the mountain was gone. The only things that still had Sunlight Energy were the plants that had evolved to live with it for so long.

Together with the Sunlight Realm Palace and all the constructions, the Sunlight Beasts also disappeared without a trace. If one didn't know better, they might have thought everything they had seen so far was a dream.

"What is happening here..." Diliy arrived by Woterto's side, confused.

Woterto shook his head. He saw the same thing as everyone else, after all. "The Realm is gone, and only the plants and threes from outside the palace remain."

Suddenly, Diliy's eyes narrowed. He noticed Kruwan in the distance, and his killing intent almost exploded. However, several other experts reached Kruwan's side a few moments later. Kruwan hadn't come alone, so now that everything was gone, it was easy for those who knew each other to gather back together.

"Don't do it," Woterto warned Diliy. "We are Sword Cultivators. We always cut through our opposition. However, attacking Kruwan now would be nothing but foolishness, especially considering the many experts from other countries."

Diliy looked around, and the tension in the air was obviously pretty high. Many experts died, including several Transition Realm ones. Above all, they had all come here to look for the Divine Werdlem Stone, which no one had found so far.

"No, did really no one find the Divine Werdlem Stone?" Diliy commented. "The Realm suddenly disappeared. Perhaps it happened exactly because the Divine Werdlem Stone is gone now."

Diliy wasn't the only one thinking about it. Countless Spiritual Senses were spread all over the mountain where the Sunlight Realm was located before. The Transition Realm experts analyzed every single one of their opponents, trying to see if anyone would give some clues. "Master!" Suddenly, Rean called Diliy from the distance, quickly approaching him with Roan. "Asterix!" Diliy's mood finally improved a little. "I thought you had died. The Sword Intent I left on you was gone. Then, you suddenly kicked me and saved my life out of nowhere before disappearing again."

Rean nodded. "I noticed that guy approaching you from the back, so I couldn't really stay hidden like I did so far. I have a concealment ability that is pretty good. However, it is quite weak against strong Spiritual Senses. It just so happened that the Sunlight Realm restricted everyone's Spiritual Senses, so I was pretty much invisible there."

Rean then changed the topic. "By the way, master. What happened after that? My brother and I went into hiding straight away after helping you. There were too many Transition Realm experts around, and we might have been caught in the aftermath of their fights. Also, when we entered the Palace, we were teleported."

Diliy knew that. "You weren't the only one. All the experts who entered the Palace ended up being teleported to random corners. Many things happened after that, but I'll explain it later. I also want to hear how you managed to get rid of my Sword Intent, so don't think I will forget it. I also want to see this concealing technique of yours."

"Understood!" Rean smiled, not minding it too much.

It was then that Kruwan and his experts turned around, preparing to leave. No one would really speak if they had the Divine Werdlem Stone, after all.

Roan saw that and faintly smiled. He quickly gave Rean an idea, who communicated it back to Diliy.

Diliy was obviously fuming that he couldn't do anything against Kruwan in this situation. However, when he heard Rean's Spiritual Sense message, he couldn't help but smirk. 'You sure know how to make your master happy.'

'Hehe!' Rean smiled cheaply and didn't deny it.

Diliy immediately flashed in front of Kruwan, blocking his path. "Where do you think you are going?"

Kruwan narrowed his eyes and took his sword out. "What? Not satisfied yet? My Trogran Sect isn't afraid of your World Splitting Sect. However, would you really start messing up with us in this place? Everyone is looking."

Diliy snorted. "Hmph! I stopped you because I'm not the only one interested in you. Everyone on this mountain is instead."

Everyone heard that and got confused. Why would they be interested in Kruwan? Could it be that Diliy thinks he has the Divine Werdlem Stone? Sure enough, various powers approached to see what was happening.

"What are you even talking about?" Kruwan asked back. "Are you trying to cause trouble?"

Diliy then turned to Zana and the other experts who had made it to the first tower before the Fake Golden Crow appeared. "Everyone, don't you find it weird? We were all together when we opened the Palace. Kruwan wasn't there at all. Not to mention so many Sunlight Beasts appeared when we opened it, so approaching the entrance became extremely difficult." Diliy turned his attention back to Kruwan and pointed out. "Still, Kruwan suddenly appeared almost at the same time as us at the tower where that monster took form. How could he have made his way there faster than us? Now, the Sunlight Realm has disappeared, and we still haven't found the Divine Werdlem Stone. I might be wrong... but isn't there a good chance Kruwan has the Divine Werdlem Stone on him? Isn't there a good chance the Sunlight Realm disappeared because he got the stone? Where did he come from? How did he pass by all the Sunlight Beasts at the Palace's front gate and catch up to us? Did he pass through the Palace Gate at all?"

Sure enough, everyone's attention fully focused on Kruwan. Diliy was right; Kruwan's actions were too suspicious. Above all, none of them wanted to give up the chance of acquiring a Divine Werdlem Stone, and Kruwan seemed their best bet at acquiring it.

Kruwan and his Trogran Sect experts couldn't help but grow nervous. The situation had turned quite bad for them.
