Death... and me



"Hum?" A Narfura Race member noticed the change and quickly looked in that direction. Although the Race was quite empty at the moment, it still had a lot of members who weren't fit to fight or those who stayed to simply protect their land while the others were out. "This formation... where is it from?"

*Zash!*

A flash of silver light suddenly occurred, followed by the appearance of a Demon Bird in human form and a real human. Naturally, these two were none other than Rean and Kentucky. Both of them were using Rean's Boy Transformation Technique, so no one would be able to recognize them. Kentucky was also suppressing his Regal Bloodline to make sure no one would feel it at the moment. 

The room quickly filled with a few Narfura Experts, who weren't expecting any arrival in that teleport formation. Yet, they all noticed that Rean and Kentucky were in the Peak Stage of the Elemental Space Realm, so none of them there would be their match. Only then did another Divine Sense appear as a Space-Time Realm expert of the Narfura Race reached the location.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Asked that expert.

Rean smiled in response. "Hello, friend. We are sorry for using your teleport formation. Because of some unfortunate events, we got teleported all the way to the borders of the Demon Beast Territories. This Teleport Formation was the first one we found on our way back to the Center of the Realm of Gods, so we used it." That wasn't a lie.

The Narfura guy narrowed his eyes, finding those two quite suspicious. But then again, at their cultivation level, it wasn't hard to believe that they did have access to Rank Seven Divine Stones to use such a long-distance teleport formation. "You still haven't told me who you are."

Rean nodded and spoke first. "I'm Zanti, a member of the human race."

Kentucky quickly followed. "I'm a Minokawa who has been traveling with Zanti for the past few decades. You can call me Tira."

Although this Narfura Race Member was in the Space-Time Realm, he was only at the Initial Stage. He was still confident that he could deal with Rean and Kentucky, but it would cause quite some damage if they fought there before he got things resolved. His Narfura Race members were mostly at the war sites, so it would be best if he could avoid problems. "Do you know the current state of affairs in the Realm of Gods?"

Rean quickly nodded. "We heard about it, although we weren't here when it started. From what I discovered, it seems like our Realm of Gods experts are trying to reconquer the Devil Territories that were once ruled by the Essence Races."

It was then that Rean got a question. "By the way, sir. We noticed that the Continental Barriers disappeared. Was it due to the war as well, or was it because the barrier disappeared that the war started?"

The Narfura nodded. "You can call me Huglo. Your first assumption was the correct one. I don't know how it was done, but the experts of the three main territories of the center of the Realm of Gods joined forces and got all the Continental Barriers down. All I know is that it cost them quite a high price, and failure in retaking the Devil Territories is not an option anymore."

Indeed, something that could deactivate the Continental Barrier ought to be extremely expensive. "In that case, we better join them. Oh, right! Do you have a Teleport Formation that can take us to the Dragon Race Territory?"

"The Dragon Race?" Huglo asked, puzzled. "What do you want to do there?"

"We have some acquaintances there we wish to meet," said Rean... or Zanti.

However, Huglo immediately shook his head. "That is out of the question. The Dragon Race is considered a forbidden territory, and no entrance is permitted without authorization."

Rean and Kentucky weren't surprised by that. They already noticed with their Divine Senses one of Rean's Communication System Towers inside the Race. He could also see one of his communication badges in the hands of Huglo, who probably used it to alert other experts of their arrival. In any case, the Dragon Race Territory was where the Core of his Communication System was located. Since they were at war, all paths leading to it were most definitely heavily guarded to prevent anyone from taking it down.

Rean wondered if it would be a good idea to use his communication badge to contact Qia and the others in the Dragon Race. However, he wasn't sure if some kind of surveillance was added to the communication system, which would obviously reveal his return. "Is that so? Oh well, it is not like I must go there anyway. Huglo, we wish to leave your race territory. Do we need to do something? After all, we arrived here uninvited."

Normally, Huglo and his Race would detain these two strangers since they were not supposed to be there. However, the situation is as this. His Race Territory didn't really have any meaningful use for anyone trying to disturb the war efforts, so it didn't make sense to attack or cause them trouble either. In that case, he would rather just get rid of this problem as soon as possible. "You there," he suddenly called the guy responsible for watching the Teleport Formations.

"Yes?" Naturally, the guy responded.

"Send them to the Minokawa Race Territory," Huglo commanded. He then looked at Kentucky, who already said he was a Minokawa. "That should be fine, yes?"

Rean and Kentucky were obviously satisfied with that. "Thanks. That's perfect. By the way, friend. What if we want to join the war efforts? What would we need to do? We have been away for quite a while, and we are out of the information chain."

Huglo nodded. "Once you arrive there, ask your Race to be added to the communication system. Then you can take one of the teleport formations used for this campaign and join them later."

"Very well," Rean and Kentucky nodded. They then paid out of their own pocket for the utilization of the other teleport formation, quickly disappearing a few minutes later.
