Chapter 1835: Are You That Confident?
The same way Sister Orb noticed the extra resonance, so did Fratekla with her own Foundation Fragment. It’s just that she found it hard to believe. No one would ever expect the demons to come to this continent, let alone bring a Foundation Fragment with them. How could someone else have had the same idea? “Listen up, everyone. We probably have angels here.”
“What?!” Rlakux and the others were taken aback to hear that. “That’s impossible! Angels would never risk coming to this place with our advantage in the temporal barrier.”
Fratekla nodded, replying, “That’s what Elder Krankax said. However, just now, I felt the presence of another Foundation Fragment. The only ones we know to have Foundation Fragments in their hands at the moment are the angels and that crazy old man Larks from the temporal gap he created. I don’t think the old man would risk coming out of his home as he knows everyone is watching him. Let alone send his fragment out, which is the only thing keeping his temporal gap active.”
Rlakux had to admit Fratekla was right. “If so, we need to be quick. Since you noticed the angels through their fragment, they definitely noticed ours as well. Can you tell where they are? Can they tell where we are?”
Fratekla shook her head, telling him, “No. The resonance with the new fragment disappeared too fast. I wasn’t able to pinpoint it. Besides, I also closed the aura of our fragment back in the temporal sphere to be safe.”
“How many of them do you think there are?” Sajax asked back.
“The five of us already had all this work to reach this place,” Libork mentioned. “And we have the advantage in the temporal barrier. I refuse to believe the angels would be able to send more forces than us, especially with the old idiots of the humanoid races watching. We don’t need to worry about them being above the Transition Realm either since the spatial disturbance of those at Void Tempering and above would have made it even more impossible to come here.”
Rlakux agreed with him. “Indeed. Anyways, we need to be fast. The angels might decide that the free fragment is the priority and ignore us. We can’t let the fragment be obtained by them.”
After that, the five demons headed in the fragment’s direction, not bothering to hold back at all. They also kept their Divine Senses fully spread, trying to detect their enemies ahead of time.
Meanwhile, Rean and Roan made their way to the same place. At the very least, they would be able to hide with Rean’s Divine Sense bending skill as long as they were far enough. They weren’t in the Void Tempering Realm yet, so their own spatial disruption was practically nonexistent and hard to detect. Naturally, they also made their way to the three towers.
The twins and the demons’ groups approached the building from different sides, so it took some time before the demons’ Divine Senses appeared. Sure enough, Rean and Roan noticed their numbers and cultivation. “Five Peak Transition Realm Divine Senses.”
Of course, the twins refrained from using their own Divine Senses so that the enemy wouldn’t be able to tell where they were. “There’s something wrong with these Divine Senses. They’re completely different from the ones we usually feel.”
Roan nodded in response. “It’s the same as the demon back in the Zasfins’ Planet. At least it feels the same. I’m not sure about Travux since his cultivation was too high for us to tell the difference.”
Rean agreed with that. “So you think the same, huh? Transition Realm demons? We’ve never really clashed against demons directly. There was always some kind of force acting in between, like the Divine Demon Beasts back in the Zasfins’ Planet. Any idea what we should expect?”
Roan pondered over it for a bit before saying, “They came from the Underworld. That means they should be quite sensitive towards lifeforce since it’s something that doesn’t exist there. It’s pretty similar to your Divine Sense bending skill. If a Divine Sense gets too close, it will pierce through the bending. If we get too close to them, our lifeforces will definitely be felt. I just can’t tell which one would happen sooner. Would their Divine Sense pierce through the bending, or would they feel our lifeforce first?”
“What about their strengths?” Rean asked.
Roan shook his head, replying, “The enemies are demons. Back in the other half of the universe, I only ever met death spirits. I have no idea what the demons’ strengths are.”
[You guys forgot the main issue. You are only two, while the demons are five. However, you also have an advantage. The demons were not supposed to be in this place, so they’re definitely acting in the shadows. You could try to warn the Rambram Sect. Or better yet, try to find Luina and bring her here. With her strength, Transition Realm demons would hardly be able to do anything.]
Roan immediately refused both ideas, saying, “I refuse to believe that these guys came to this place without an escape plan. There’s a Foundation Fragment in play, after all. If we leave now to look for Luina or find a way to warn the Rambram Sect, chances are that the fragment will be gone once we return. Let alone the fact that we would have a lot of things to explain to the Rambram Sect, which is a very bad idea.”
Rean agreed with Roan on that point. “We’re very close to getting the necessary Destiny Points for the next Dimensional Realm upgrade, and we’ll have a lot to spare if we succeed in the plan. If they run away with the fragment, we’ll have to pay 300000 Destiny Points as a penalty. Fuck that! Also, they have another fragment, and I would love to take that for ourselves.”
[Is that so? Then how exactly do you expect to take on those five? Are you two that confident?]
