Chapter 1389: Angel And Devil Races
Rean was taken aback for a moment. However, before he could answer, the walls of that Divine Plane opened as several portals connected to the Lost Star Realm’s first, second, and third levels. Following that, many white-colored demon beasts rushed inside. Rean’s group immediately recognized a few of them. As to who they recognized, it was the three small white dragons that guarded the Beast Pools they chose. There were also phoenixes, turtles, apes, ravens, and other types of beasts. A total of ten types signifying the ten marks.
Suddenly, one of those beasts stepped forward and bowed to the little boy, saying, “Master, congratulations on regaining your freedom.”
Wekil nodded, satisfied. “All of you have done a great service. If not for your efforts, I wouldn’t have been able to conceal my plans to escape my imprisonment. Sorry for making you follow me with this long and tedious work.”
None of the beasts seemed to care at all, though. “Master, as long as you’re safe, we don’t mind any kind of work.”
Wekil smiled in response. “Good. Lanza, come forward.”
Immediately, one of the beasts came out of the group. It was a snake. “Your subordinate is here, Master.”
“Lanza, I want you to make the preparations for our return. We aren’t heading straight to Locks Territory anymore, though. There’s no doubt that Braga and the others will keep a close eye on that. Instead, set the destination to the Jama Sea. In the first place, the Jama Lord owes me a favor. It’s about due time for him to pay it back,” Wekil said.
“As you wish, master.” Immediately, Lanza turned around and chose quite a great portion of the beasts to come with him. As to what kind of preparations they were going to do, Rean’s group had no idea.
Wekil then talked a bit with the remaining beasts and told them to return to their locations and prepare to leave. Only then did Wekil get some alone time with Rean’s group once more. “Sorry for the disruption. So, what were we talking about? Oh, right! I don’t know your name yet.”
Rean looked at Roan, who nodded after hearing that. Hurio already knew the twins’ names, so there wasn’t much reason to hide it. “I’m Rean Larks, and this is, unfortunately, my brother, Roan Larks.”
Roan completely ignored Rean’s remarks and simply nodded at Wekil.
Wekil then repeated his question after that. “So, are you part of my race? I don’t feel the same connection of bloodline, though.”
Rean shook his head as he replied, “I don’t even understand why you’re asking me that. But in any case, I’m a human, so I believe I’m not.”
“A human?” Wekil was surprised to hear that. “Humans are indeed not part of my race. Then again, there wasn’t supposed to be any type of humanoid race with Light Element Affinity in the Realm of Gods. That’s why I thought you were from my race since it doesn’t exist in the Realm of Gods. After all, other than the fact that everyone from my race has Light Element Affinity, we all look just like humans.”
Roan immediately asked after hearing that, “Does that mean you’re part of the humanoid races or are you some kind of demon beast? Maybe a spirit like the faeries?”
Wekil pondered in silence for a bit before answering, “If I were to be asked, then I guess we’re part of the humanoid races.”
Celis then asked something else after that. “You said the Realm of Gods shouldn’t have any humanoid race with Light Element. However, it’s pretty obvious that you do have Light Element Affinity. Does that mean you’re not from the Realm of Gods?”
Wekil nodded in response. “Exactly. However, I can’t tell you much about the place I came from. Maybe, just maybe, you will find out one day.” Wekil then changed the subject after that. “Anyway, the fact is that the four of you helped me escape from my confinement. Is there anything you wish as payment?”
Rean and Roan didn’t even need to think twice. At the moment, they wanted nothing more than to get to the demon beasts’ territories. “Can you send us straight to the demon beasts’ territories in the Realm of Gods? In fact, it would be even better if you could help us find some people.”
“This…” Wekil couldn’t help but show a complicated expression in response. “Sorry… I can’t be anywhere else other than the Lost Star Realm right now. If I go out, I’ll be targeted by the Realm of Gods’ laws and will be killed by them. That’s why I’m making the preparations to leave this place without heading out.”
For some reason, Roan narrowed his eyes after that. Something about this Wekil was strikingly familiar to Roan, although he couldn’t wrap his head around it.
Then again, that was the first time Rean’s group heard anything like that. However… “That means you can’t help us with that, huh?”
Suddenly, Roan thought of a possibility and opened his mouth, asking, “Are you… an angel?”
Immediately, Wekil’s expression drastically changed. Not only his but Lamanto and Mira’s expressions as well. They simply couldn’t believe that such a word came from Roan’s mouth. Wekil’s friendly approach then changed as he locked Roan down with his spatial powers. “Who are you? How do you know about the angel races?”
Roan didn’t seem bothered by that, though. “Races? Weren’t you supposed to be just a single race called angels? Oh well, whatever. Since you’re an angel… or part of one of the angel races, then you can stop pretending. You can’t do anything to me. How about letting me free?”
Wekil’s dark expression turned even worse after that. Surprisingly, he did what Roan said and let him down straight away.
Naturally, Celis and Kentucky were completely at a loss. However, Rean was quite surprised to hear that. “Angels? Do you mean white wings, glowing halo, and all that?”
Roan snorted in response as he replied, “Ha! That’s only some bullshit your planet Earth came up with… no, perhaps you’re not wrong. He did say something about races, so some of them might have exactly that? Anyway, the angels I know about don’t have anything like that. Then again, those same angels didn’t have cultivations either. It’s just that they had several specific powers, just like the Death Spirits.”
Wekil was even more surprised after that. “You also know about the Death Spirits… I saw during the battles that you have Dark Element Affinity. Could it be that you’re part of the devil races?”
Those words reminded Rean and Roan of the devil in the Zasfin Planet. However, Roan shook his head in response. “No.. But I do have some relation with Death Spirits.”
