Death... and me



Although Sesame believed it would take some time before more Elder Devils appeared, he wasn't sure. He could hide himself within this land as he was connected to it, but the same wasn't true for Roan. It was best to take his group away as soon as possible.

Roan obviously understood that and agreed with Sesame. "That's good."

Sesame quickly grabbed Roan with his own Spatial Powers and was just about to open a Spatial gate when he remembered something. "Oh, right. Where do you want to go? As long as it's within the Underworld, I should be able to bring you there."

Roan pondered a bit and was a little at a loss about what to do. They knew about another Fragment in the Underworld, the Underworld Relic in Rui's hand, the Light Devil Clan leader and also an Elder Devil. According to their father, there was also another Elder Devil with a fragment in his hands, Belial. 

The problem was obvious. Roan's group absolutely didn't have the power to fight an Elder Devil. There was no way they could steal either Rui or Belial's Fragments. It was then that he looked at Sesame. It was at that moment that Roan remembered something. "Sesame... your Pixiu Race was famous because of your Treasure Hunting abilities, right?"

Sesame nodded. "Errr... Sure, we can feel the presence of treasures of Heaven and Earth within a certain distance. Just be aware that I'm at the Divinity Realm. That means only treasures that are useful for Divinity Realm beings like me will activate my ability. Those are not things that you can find just anywhere. Why are you asking?"

"Does the Universe Fragments count within this ability of yours?" Roan answered with another question.

Sesame immediately nodded. "Obviously. Ever since the fragment appeared in this land, I was capable of feeling its existence. It's just that I wasn't able to acquire it due to the sphere of Space and Time."

Roan didn't stop there. "Can this ability of yours be blocked by concealing methods? Things like formations or items inside Pocket Dimensional Realms?"

Sesame shook his head with confidence. "No. Unless you have something like the Soul Gem System that my master created, it will not be able to hide from my perception. I can tell that because the fragment completely disappeared from my detection after Sister Orb took it away. Other Dimensional Realms had never been able to prevent me from feeling the treasures inside."

Roan nodded. "Gem told us that you can leave this land for a few years before having to come back. As long as you aren't away for too long, you won't suffer much, right?"

"Yes, that's correct." Sesame began to see where Roan was coming from. "However, I hope you aren't expecting me to take Rui's Fragment away. If the Underworld Relic is as powerful as you described to the point that all Elder Devils want it, I will be no match to Rui."

"In fact, even if that fragment wasn't made into that Underworld Relic, fighting Rui alone would, at most, end with me forcing him to flee. And it has been a very, very long time since I fought anyone. Let's not forget the main issue as well. Here in the Underworld, you don't have Divine Energy. You have Devilish Energy. It might be a variation of the same Divine Origin Energy, but it is not the type that I use for battle. I'll be naturally a lot, really a lot weaker than any Elder Devil, as long as we are in the Underworld. I don't have even 1% of confidence I could win a fight against any Elder Devil whatsoever."

Roan raised his hand, signaling Sesame to stop before he spoke even more disadvantages due to his situation. "That's not what I want you to do. First, forget about Rui's Underworld Relic. There is no chance we can take that thing away from him. Not to mention that even if we could, that would implicate his Light Devil Clan. Rui and our group could be said to be more or less acquainted, so I don't want to cause trouble for him. At least not now."

Roan continued. "What I want you to do is to bring me to this Belial guy's home. Do you think he will be with the Devils who came to check the changes in the Swamp of No Return?"

Sesame pondered a bit before nodding. "Well, that is possible. In fact, it would be weird if any Elder Devil lost this opportunity."

Roan also believed so. "Indeed, he probably is here too. However, I don't think he would put himself in a situation where several other Elder Devils are present. As you know, the Fragments are extremely valuable to anyone at the Elder Devil, Archangel, and Divinity Realms. Belial might be very confident as an Elder Devil, but I refuse to believe he can deal with this many Elder Devils at once."

"What do you want to say?" Sesame couldn't help but ask.

Roan coldly smiled before continuing. "Well, Belial definitely knows he wouldn't be a match to this many Elder Devils. Even running away would be near impossible. Still, we are pretty sure he also came along. After all, there is no way Belial would go to the Realm of Gods since it would be too dangerous for a fragment owner. What does that mean? That means he definitely didn't bring the Fragment of the Universe with him here in this place. Since his fragment is not here, but he is, where is his fragment?"

Sesame looked at Roan with surprise on his face. "I say... You look a lot more like a Devil than any of the Devils in the Underworld."

"Thanks for the compliment," Roan definitely liked those words. "So, do you think you can at least find where this Belial lives?"

Sesame laughed in response. "Hahaha! No problem at all! I might not be as strong as an Elder Devil here in the Underworld, but acquiring information of this level is a piece of cake." Right after, Sesame opened a Spatial Gate and brought Roan with him. There was no one left in the lush land anymore.
