Death... and me

Sevinia didn't look the least bit pleased with Rean's respectful behavior. "Do you have any idea what we've gone through after what you did in the Soul Rulers' headquarters? Most of the Soul Rulers' members considered us as the culprit since it was us who brought you and your brother."

Sevinia became more furious the more she thought about that. "My relationship with the organization's leader was destroyed. My clan's position fell to rock bottom. Not to mention that all of our clan members are being ostracized every day because of that. Is that what we get after helping humans as well as we could after so many years? If not for us, the soul extraction process would still be excruciatingly painful torture. The conditions of the kids in the Bloodline Trial Control Formations wouldn't have been that good either."

"I might as well tell you right now that all of those changes have now been revoked. It was considered that doing such things for humans was a waste of time in the end. If not because of that, we might not be in a war with the risk of losing more than half of our territory to the demon beasts."

Sevinia then approached Rean and grabbed him by the neck, saying, "However, I have you now. Perhaps I can use your body in exchange for all the damage you've caused. How about you start talking about where we can find Celis?"

Rean was already in the Nascent Soul Realm. That being said, he could exchange oxygen for Spiritual Energy, so he wasn't really feeling suffocated by Sevinia's actions. He knew that he was in a precarious situation, though. Yet...

"Hehe! I'm well aware of the risks of coming here and delivering myself to you. However, for you to be here without an army of Soul Rulers' experts show that you're still interested in that letter we sent you. Am I right?" Rean asked with a weird grin on his face.

Sevinia's expression turned dark as she looked straight at Rean's eyes, responding, "How long has your Demon Beast Alliance been planning all of this? I refuse to believe that it happened while you were here."

Unfortunately for her, that was really a plan drafted by Rean and Roan while they were in the Soul Rulers' headquarters. First of all, they didn't even know about the existence of the Demon Beast Alliance until they arrived in Koran Forest. Naturally, the demon beasts had nothing to do with it.

However, the letter was completely different. This was something that the twins thought after they discovered that the war would happen. During Rean's time in the Hafel Clan, he learned a lot about their method of communication. That being said, he used one of those channels to send Sevinia a letter through the name of White Calamity. That's why she knew that it was Rean who was looking for her. It was also because of these events that Rean knew about this old shop.

Of course, in Sevinia's eyes, the real masterminds were the Divine Demon Beasts of the Demon Beast Alliance. Rean and Roan were nothing more than some pawns. She couldn't be blamed for that either since anyone would think like that, especially after the twins appeared on the Demon Beast Alliance's side after the destruction of the headquarters. In fact, quite a few of her clan members died due to the explosions at that time.

Sevinia kept holding Rean by the neck for some time before finally letting him go, asking, "Is what you said in the letter true?"

Rean nodded, replying, "Yes. As you should already know, it's simply impossible for the demon beasts to conquer the entire world. Once they take half of the available territories, your Zasfin armies will become a lot more compressed on the other half. It would bring no good for either side to continue the war after that. At the moment, the battle is only continuing because neither side wants to give up the best territories. Besides, your Soul Rulers organization made it very clear that they still hope to continue operating in this world as the sole bosses. After all, they did attack the Spiritual Energy Field in the Sea Beasts' Territory."

Sevinia looked immediately at the rabbit on Rean's shoulder after hearing that. As one of the top members of the Soul Rulers before the twins' attack, she obviously knew about Red's existence. "If not because of this guy's failure, we would have succeeded. Even after we prepared the entire terrain for you to get your revenge, you still didn't accomplish it. To be honest, I thought you died in there. Only now did I understand how Rean got this close to the headquarters without being found."

Red didn't feel good about it either, saying, "Your organization said that I would be alone in the Spiritual Energy Field's Dimensional Realm. However, that wasn't the case at all."

Sevinia narrowed her eyes, saying in response, "But we succeeded in holding off all the Divine Demon Beasts outside. How come someone was protecting it? From what we know, only Divine Demon Beasts like you should be able to enter that place."

Red then glanced at Rean for a moment. He already heard that the twins had some kind of connection with the Minokawa. They used it to get access to the Dimensional Realm. However, he did promise he wouldn't talk about it. "Hmph! In any case, that's why I failed. What's the point in talking about it right now anyway? It's over, so just forget it." After that, Red changed the topic, taking advantage of that situation to ask something else. "By the way, is it true that the Bestial Blood Pond is being filled with the blood of the dead demon beasts in the entire world?"

Sevinia narrowed her eyes when she heard that. However, she knew that Red had already failed, so she didn't care too much about it, especially considering her clan's actual situation. With that, she replied, "Yes, it is."

Red's blood began to boil in anger after hearing that, shouting in anger, "So, you really did lie to me!"
