Death... and me

It wasn't Langara who took the crystal compass from Volrei, though. Instead, it was Rean. "Oh! You turned it into a compass. Quite interesting... I'm especially impressed with the size of the runes inside it." It wasn't as small as the runes that Rean could build with the help of the Minuscule Rune Carving Circuitry Device. Nevertheless, it was very good for a formation made without his knowledge on Circuitry Formations.

After that, he moved away from Volrei as he was more interested in the compass, leaving Langara and Volrei alone. With that, Langara told Volrei, "I won't kill you. I'll let you go so that you can tell that guy his time is coming. I'll return to the clan later. He can be sure of that."

Langara then looked at Rean and asked him, "Can you let him leave now? I already said what I wanted to say."

Rean, who was still tinkering with the compass, asked back, "Are you sure? They will find out that you have support. Next time they appear, it won't be only Saint Realm experts chasing us."

Langara shook her head in response, telling him, "If their experts above the Saint Realm move out the clan, then so will the ones on my side. In any case, we're very far from the clan now. Not to mention that my clan doesn't even have more than a few cultivators at the Elemental Transformation Realm."

Rean looked at Roan, who nodded in response. In the end, the Elemental Transformation Realm and the realms after that were still hard to achieve. After all, the Elemental Transformation Realm needed that so-called catalyst. It made sense that her clan had many Saint Realm hunters but few cultivators above it.

Rean then drew a few seals on the air with his Divine Soul Power, which entered the ground under his feet. A moment later, the barrier stopping Volrei from leaving the Slaughtering Formation disappeared. Volrei then slowly got up while he used his Divine Energy to treat his injuries. Of course, he wasn't Rean. It would take weeks before he recovered completely.

*Whistle!*

After leaving the formation, Volei called over his Demon Bird. Just as Roan had expected, it was really a Stage Five Demon Beast, just like their own Golden Rascol. Volrei then jumped on its back and took flight. He could only head back to the clan and report what happened. As for whether he would be spared or not, she wasn't sure.

Right after, Langara looked back at Rean and asked him, "So, this is the thing that can track me down, yeah?"

Rean nodded before pouring some of his Divine Soul Power inside. Soon after, the compass immediately turned in Langara's direction. "Quite precise, I have to say."

Langara finally asked after that. "So, can you really remove this tracker thing in my soul?"

"Oh, right!" Rean immediately remembered the reason why he didn't remove it earlier. However, before he even moved out, Roan came back with many spatial rings in his hand. "Here you go. Volrei's spatial ring was the one that had most of the Divine Stones. Then again, the others weren't poor either. We got a total of 8356 Rank One Divine Stones here."

Rean's eyes lit up. "Great! I used a little more than 3000 to make the Slaughtering Formation. Considering the materials used, I guess the total cost wasn't over 4000. This is quite the profit."

Rean quickly took the Divine Stones and any other items inside those spatial rings and sent them into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. "There were quite a few Silver-level weapons as well. Surprisingly, no one was using Golden-level equipment."

Fatax nodded as he said in response, "We aren't as rich as you think we are, you know? We kept a low profile up to now because of my race. You should be grateful that all hunters have this amount of Rank One Divine Stones. Only those Elemental Transformation Realm members or important members below this level would have such a thing."

Rean was satisfied, though. "Oh! But I am grateful! Now we have 11032 Divine Stones after everything has been discounted. For us, it's not a bad number, even as people related to the Royal Family."

Of course, Langara couldn't care less. "Who cares? So, can you get rid of the tracker or not?"

Rean nodded. "Right, let's get over with it. However, I'll warn you. It will be very painful this time."

Langara didn't mind. "Even if I start screaming in pain, don't stop it."

Rean then touched Langara's shoulder as his hair changed into black and white. He then focused on the hidden seal attached to Langara's soul and covered its surroundings with Light Element. Following that, Rean used Roan's Dark Element to attack the seal.

'Life Style, Fourth Form, Purification!'

In the end, it was the same principle as eliminating some poison. Light Element protected the body while Dark Element destroyed the warmful Element.

*Arrrgh!*

Langara couldn't help but fall to the ground as Rean administrated the treatment.

Well, even when Light Element was involved, the process of attacking something with Dark Element had always been painful, let alone when it was on the soul. Rean also moved very carefully as the soul was many times more fragile than the body. If Langara hadn't left her soul open for him to work on, chances are that she would get severely injured in the process.

Thirty minutes later, the hidden seal completely disappeared from Langara's soul. Rean also used his Light Element to help stabilize it before he took his hand off her. "Phew... dealing with a soul is really troublesome. However, everything has gone as planned. Because they couldn't allow you to notice the seal, it wasn't that risky of a procedure to start with. Otherwise, I'm not sure if it would have been this simple."

Roan then asked something else, "Won't you try out the compass to see if it is still working?"

Fatax and Langara's attention was immediately piqued.

Rean then took the tracking device out and poured his Divine Soul Power inside. This time, however, it didn't point at Langara. Instead, it kept spinning as it couldn't find a source to lock on. With that, he said, "Well, it seems like it worked."
