Death... and me
chapter-3004

The twins and those below the Transition Realm all took their distance and watched the show. Kruwan might be refusing to cooperate and even fighting back, but he truly had no chance of victory in this situation. There were just too many others around that even the notion of

escaping was out of the question.

Diliy, especially, was attacking with the intention of killing. He definitely didn't forget how Kruwan tried to kill him out of nowhere while everyone else was dealing with the Sunlight Beasts. Even now, he didn't understand why Kruwan would try such a thing, but that didn't matter. What mattered was that Kruwan tried, and that was enough.

Eventually, Kruwan and the experts under his banner gave up and surrendered, just inches away from being killed. Zana had to use one of her treasures to block Diliy, who pretended to not hear their call for surrender. Diliy looked at Zana with a dark expression, but the owner of the treasure store didn't seem to care.

Finally, Diliy could only let it go and be happy with the fact that he could vent some of his frustration. "Speak, how did you appear in the Palace if you did not use the same entrance as us. Also, take your Spatial Ring off. We will all look inside together. If there is no Divine Werdlem Stone inside, we will give it back to you."

Kruwan gritted his teeth but complied with the orders. Unless he proved he didn't have the Divine Werdlem Stone, those around him truly wouldn't let him or his companions go. "Fine, everyone, take off your Spatial Rings."

He and his companions from the Trogran Sect then passed the Spatial Rings to the various experts. Everyone was able to look inside the Spatial Rings at the same time, and that prevented them from stealing anything since the others would notice it.

There were various items and Spiritual Stones in those Spatial Rings. Quite a few of them caught the interest of the experts around. It was to be expected. Kruwan and the other Transition Realm experts from his Trogran Sect had lived for a long time. They obviously gathered quite some wealth.

Nonetheless, the so-called Divine Werdlem Stone was nowhere to be seen. In the end, they could only resign to their fate and let go of the Spatial Rings. It would be humiliating if anyone tried to rob the Spatial Rings with so many others watching. Every single Transition Realm Expert had their pride.

"Alright, no Divine Werdlem Stone inside any of the Spatial Rings, but that doesn't mean you didn't acquire it," Diliy wouldn't let it go that easily. "You still haven't explained how you appeared at the tower at the same time as us."

Kruwan glared at Diliy but didn't do anything. Instead, he looked at the other experts, who still held to his and his group's Spatial Rings. "Take a look inside my Spatial Ring again, but look for a black feather."

Everyone looked inside, and they found the Black Feather. It didn't seem anything worth paying attention to, so they had ignored it at first. The Black Feather quickly appeared outside, giving Kruwan the chance to explain. "Just fill it with Sunlight and Spiritual Energy. You will see."

Everyone nodded, and they called one of the Sun Urpins over. Together with the experts around, they sent their Sunlight and Spiritual Energy inside.

*Zuuuuunnnn...*

Suddenly, the Feather seemed to come back to life. Its shade quickly changed, and a golden color took over. It was extremely similar to the color of the Golden Crow back in the Sunlight Realm. "This..."

Kruwan continued to explain. "I found this feather a long time ago when I visited this Sunlight Realm. No one could go too far inside because of the high concentration of Sunlight Energy, but you know we could at least move a few kilometers in if we focused all our efforts on fending off the energy. During one of these attempts to explore the Sunlight Realm, I found this feather."

He continued. "When the Sunlight Realm began to open, the Feather showed a reaction, so I obviously came. Inside, this feather seemed to have the power to ignore the barrier separating the Palace Space and the rest of the Sunlight Realm. That's how I got inside. This feather allowed me to do it. Simply put, I was the first one to enter, although I didn't find anything in the end."

"And you kept it secret all this time?" Amelia asked back, not feeling very happy. No one there was. Kruwan literally had an advantage no one knew about.

Kruwan snorted in response. "Hmph! Don't pretend to be good samaritans with me. If any of you had this feather in your possession, would you have told anyone about its power? Like hell you would!"

No one denied Kruwan's words. They truly would have never told anyone about it. That was a fact.

"What do we do now?" Zana asked, looking at the feather. It was most likely a feather related to the big birds from the Sunlight Realm, but the Sunlight Realm was now gone.

"Can anyone use this feather to locate the Sunlight Realm?" Gofel asked. He was still in the Elemental Transformation Realm after the happenings, but everyone still treated him as a Transition Realm expert.

There was a silence all over the place. The experts looked at the Sun Urpins, but none of them seemed to know anything either. In the end, the feather seemed useless.

"Happy now?" Kruwan asked. "Give my Spatial Ring back. If you guys want the feather, so be it. The Sunlight Realm is gone anyway." He wasn't in a state to fight anymore, nor were his

companions.

Finally, the Spatial Rings were thrown back while only the Feather, which had now gone back to its black color, remained.

"Let's go!" Kruwan told his sect members.

Diliy narrowed his eyes. "Are we truly letting him go just like that? Who knows what he might have found in the Palace when he got there ahead of us."

The others didn't seem very interested, though. "Forget it, Diliy. If you want to deal with him, you and your World Splitting Sect can do it yourselves."

Kruwan snorted. There were a few other powers from the same country as him here. If Diliy's group truly tried to act alone, Kruwan could ask for their help now that everyone knew he didn't have the Divine Werdlem Stone.

In the end, Kruwan's group left, and only the feather remained. Who would take the feather back? They all had an interest in it.
