Death... and me

1866 Even More Now

"Demon... beast?" Sifo hadn't heard anything about it. First of all, no one was supposed to know about their disappearance. "What do you mean? Did anyone else come here to look for Rean and Roan?"

Philip looked at Gean, who nodded back at him. Since he had already said that much, he might as well say everything. Especially since the man in front of them was part of the Rambram Sect, a real superpower in the humanoid races' territory.

With that, Philip nodded before saying, "Indeed. Around a week ago, an old woman... no, a female demon beast in human form. She came looking for information about the twins. From the power we felt from her Divine Sense, she's definitely no weaker than you, Sir Sifo. Our Jhiod Sect can't possibly anger such an expert, so we told her what we knew."

Sifo didn't waste time and immediately asked for the details of that encounter. Philip, of course, recounted everything, including the information he had given. "That's not good."

Following that, Sifo took out a Thoughts Transmission Talisman and sent the information to the Rambram Sect. At the same time, he entered the fabric of space after opening a fissure on it, quickly disappearing in the midst of the spatial storms. Sure enough, he also had the ability.

Philip couldn't help but say after that, "Those twins have become quite famous, haven't they?"

Gean could only nod in agreement. "They did. Anyways, let's just hope that whatever happened to them won't affect our Jhiod Sect. We just got the Jamai Sect's reward two decades ago, so it would be too unlucky to have a crisis now."

Sifo had absolutely no issues traversing the continental barriers. With his cultivation alone, he was able to pass through them as if they didn't even exist. Thanks to that, he arrived in the Huring Continent at quite short notice.

"That should be the Huring Sacred Land..." said Sifo as he looked at the floating island in the skies. His Divine Sense quickly spread out, scanning the entire island. The only parts he couldn't check were the ones with formations protecting against Divine Sense, and only the top ones could hold his Divine Sense.

"This..." However, Sifo immediately noticed a problem.

*Vup!*

In a moment, Sifo disappeared from his location and reappeared at the entrance of the Sacred Land. What he saw, however, wasn't a flourishing Sacred Land like what the twins saw in the past. Instead, what greeted him was purely the remains of it. The entire Sacred Land on the floating island had fallen into pieces.

Sifo then waved his hand as Spatial Power gathered. In the next moment, an old man full of injuries appeared in his sight. Not everyone had died, so Sifo just took the first person who seemed to have decent cultivation among the people to ask a few questions.

The man, of course, was as afraid as he previously was. "Wh-who are you? Haven't you guys finished your business here? You already took what you wanted!"

Sifo shook his head, replying, "I'm Sifo from the Rambram Sect. I'm not related to the expert who did this to your organization. What happened here? Was it an old female demon beast with worn blue feathers?"

The old man's eyes showed a hint of fear as he remembered what happened around a week ago. "Y-yes... she came to look for information regarding a pair of twins. Erithean was the only one who really got involved with those twins, so we told him to help that woman. However, he simply said that he didn't know anything about the twins other than that they made a deal with our Sacred Land in exchange for a new forging process."

The old man became more scared as he recounted the tale. "Unfortunately, the old female demon beast didn't believe Erithean at all. Not only that, she immediately began to attack our Sacred Land as punishment for the lie. Most of our elders and the Sacred Land master died in the process. After that day, our Sacred Land was bound to fall from power."

Sifo couldn't care less about what happened to the Sacred Land. However, he did care about Erithean. "Where is this Erithean guy? Did she kill him? Was he forced to talk? Speak!"

"I don't know," the old man said in response. "Erithean tried to escape, but she captured him. After doing what she did, she left with Erithean. There was nothing Erithean could do to stop her."

Sifo couldn't help but say after that, "We were too late."

Suddenly, Sifo felt one of his Thoughts Transmission Talisman activate. Naturally, it was an answer from the Rambram Sect. "So they did detect someone, huh?"

Sifo then put the guy down, asking him, "Do you perhaps know where the twins are trying to head to at the moment? Also, what is this new forging process that you talked about? Tell me everything, and I might use the influence of my Rambram Sect to keep your Huring Sacred Land the leading power of this puny continent. Of course, that will depend on whether the information you give me is good enough or not."

The old man's eyes lit up in response, and he recounted everything he knew about the time the twins were in the Huring Sacred Land. Especially the part the Huring Sacred Land tried to keep a secret, the forging method.

It went without saying that Sifo was shocked to hear the part about the forging method. "Weapons that can gather elements on their own? Is that true? Do you know how to forge them?"

Because the female demon beast was after the twins, she didn't pay attention to that piece of information. No, to be more specific, demon beasts usually didn't care about forging. That's why she didn't even bother asking about it and simply took Erithean away.

Sifo, on the other hand, was very interested in it. "Can you show me one of those weapons?"

Since the old man was an elder of the sect, he obviously had access to one of those weapons as they made one for him after the twins left. He looked into his spatial ring and then passed a spear to Sifo, who immediately sent his Divine Energy inside. Sure enough, the spear began to gather an element. To be more specific, it started to gather Fire Element. "To think such a thing is possible... we need to find them even more now."
