Death... and me



Jeskli found it funny to hear. "Me? Not supposed to be here? This is the Minokawas' Territory! If there is someone who wasn't supposed to be here, that one is you."

Meanwhile, Rean was using his communication badge to check something. 'As I thought...' Right after, he used his connection with the badge to warn Jeskli. 'Jeskli, this guy also has a communication badge. Not only that, it seems like he used the same strategy as I did to get inside the Central Area.'

Roan found it strange. 'Wait, that doesn't make sense. He would need administration rights in your Circuitry Formation network to be able to do that, no? How did he get that? First of all, how does he even know how to operate the communication system?'

Yet, Rean shook his head. 'Not necessarily. Instead of using the network to work on the towers, he could have gone to the towers directly. He is an Archangel, so it should be easy for him to stay hidden as long as someone like Jeskli doesn't come out to actively look for him in the Minokawas' Territory. If he knows what to do, he can modify the towers one by one and then use the communication badge to achieve the same result.'

Of course, Rean also understood the issue of that plan. 'A communication badge isn't hard to be procured if you think about it. At his level, it should be fairly easy to disguise as some other race and then have a communication badge issued to you somewhere in the war territory. Thousands of them are being crafted every day, after all. What I can't understand is what you mentioned last. How does he know how the communication system works and how to make the modifications?'

In the end, Rean shook his head. 'Forget it. That's not something we should care about now.' Rean then used his communication badge to make a few changes. Right after, he contacted Jeskli, who was still talking to the Archangel. 'Jeskli, I've added this Archangel's communication badge to your own. You will be able to tell where he is as long as he has the badge in his possession. It should be faster than having to wait for Luan to tell you where he is.'

Jeskli quickly used his Divine Sense to check the new information in his communication badge. Sure enough, a Divine Sense Picture appeared in his head, working like a three-dimensional map that pointed to the location of the Archangel right in front of him. 'This is much better indeed. Thanks.'

Jeskli returned his attention to the Archangel. "So, are you going to tell me what you want in my home or should I force you to do so?"

The Archangel's power once again gathered. This time, however, it was many times more concentrated. "I warned you. Since you don't want to leave, then you can stay here forever." He finally decided to stop playing around.

Jeskli wasn't any worse, though. His Light and Dark Elements burst out of his body as he spoke. "Ha! So you decided to have it the hard way, uh? No problem at all. Bring it on!"

Jeskli didn't wait for the enemy to act as he immediately launched himself at him. 

'Dark and Light Divine Armor!'

The Archangel wasn't any slower. Another identical spear appeared in one of his hands as he paired the two to counterattack Jeskli.

'Holy Punishment!'

*BOOM!*

Just like that, a battle of Divinity Realm experts just started. 

Rean, Roan, and Luan weren't in the mood to watch it, though. Roan quickly looked in the direction of the Cubic Light Barrier at the top of the mountain before deciding on his next action. 'Let's go! We need to stop the Fragment's Removal while Jeskli keeps the guy occupied.'

Rean nodded as the twins grabbed Luan's arms. 'Luan, you will tell us which direction to move. Try to avoid any slaughtering formation. We will move full speed, so hold on.'

'Leave it to me, Father, Uncle Rean,' Luan quickly nodded and let go of his body, focusing 100% on the path ahead.

'Life Style, Enhancement!'

'Death Style, Shadow Steps!'

Rean and Roan's Domain probably would help Jeskli a lot. After all, Rean's domain could negate the enemy's domain effect, while Roan's domain would corrode the enemy's domain from the inside. However, they would need to get a lot closer to that. At the moment, just the spatial rifts caused by the two experts' battle were enough to kill them, so they definitely couldn't get anywhere near enough to give that help. That's why they decided to go to the top of the mountain instead.

The Archangel obviously saw that, but Jeskli definitely wasn't any weaker than himself. Not to mention that even with the Anti Divine Sense and Spatial Perception Formations in place, Jeskli seemed to know exactly where the Slaughtering Formations that could put him in danger were located. The Archangel simply didn't have the time to leave to deal with the twins' group.

That didn't mean he couldn't do anything, though. He quickly raised his hand before shouting an order. "Go! Kill those ants!"

Jeskli narrowed his eyes as he couldn't see anything. Yet, he knew what the Archangel wanted to do exactly. 'Rean, Roan, more of those monsters are coming for you. Careful.'

The twins didn't need Jeskli's warning in the end. That's because they immediately saw the color of killing intent coming from several sides. 'Seems like it won't be as easy as before,' Rean and Roan thought at the same time.

'Death World Domain!'

'Life World Domain!'

The twins released Luan while giving him an order. 'Keep running in the direction of the mountaintop; we will cover your sides. However, you might need to defend yourself as well, as there are a lot of these things coming.'

Luan took his own sword, the Dimensional Slasher that Rean forged for him. 'On it! These creatures seem to be specialized in Spatial Powers. Well, so am I! Follow me, Father, Uncle Rean!' Without a shred of fear, Luan dashed forward while something suddenly spread around him as well.

'Spatial Distortion Domain!'
