Chapter 925 - Let's Go
However, Duran was more interested in something else. "First, how can you find them? I can't feel anything from these shards you took out, and it seems like Frin can't feel anything either. What method will you use?"
Roan then explained, "Well, it isn't anything complicated.. The power coming from these shards is extremely similar to my Dark Element. That's why I can use them to feel the other crimson spheres. It's that simple. If you had Dark Element Affinity, you would be able to do the same." Of course, that was a lie. What Roan was doing was using his knowledge of Underworld Energy instead.
After spending his time familiarizing himself with the Underworld Energy in the shards, he gradually became able to feel the connection between these shards and the other crimson spheres in the dimensional realm. If not because he had to meet Rean first, he would have led Frin to the spheres they passed by and destroyed them first.
Nevertheless, there was something else Roan was more worried about than that. "However, there's one thing you need to understand. Do you remember that we talked about someone who's possibly behind this situation?" Everyone nodded and waited for Roan to continue. "That's the issue. There's one place in this Dimensional Realm where this kind of energy is mostly concentrated. If we head there, perhaps..."
Everyone understood what Roan meant. They might find who's using the souls and the blood of the demon beasts so far. The problem was exactly that, though. With that, Duran could not help but say, "Considering the strength of the red claw I saw back then, I'm afraid we're no match for its owner. Even if Frin and I fight together, that won't change much."
Frin didn't see the so-called claw. However, for the strongest Zasfin to say that he wasn't a match to the other party, Frin could imagine that he wouldn't be much better either.
It was then that Roan raised his hand. "That's why we have to destroy these crimson spheres first. Don't forget that we felt the presence of someone watching us just when we broke the first ones. From the looks of it, these crimson spheres are extremely important to the enemy. Perhaps we can weaken it by destroying it all."
Duran agreed with Roan as he was one of those who felt the same presence. "It might really work. I'm not sure if I believe in this reason of yours, but this is our only chance at the moment.
Kentucky couldn't help but ask, "What about me? I don't think I have much use in this hunt of yours."
Celis also thought the same. "Indeed. We're just Late Stage Five Demon Beasts. We will only drag you guys down if we force you to carry us along."
First of all, Kentucky and Celis only came to this place because they thought they were necessary to open the portal to the Realm of Gods. One must remember that the Divine Demon Beasts were the reason for the changes in the Bestial Sacred Ground, referring to the number of Divine Demon Beasts available on the planet. In fact, that might still be the case.
Roan pondered over it for a bit before he had an idea, "Kentucky, you can use Rean's concealment skill, right?" Kentucky nodded and waited for Roan to continue. "In that case, I want you and Celis to go and check the area with the highest concentration of energy from the crimson spheres."
"What?!" Kentucky was taken aback. "But if I go there, won't I be controlled by it?"
Roan shook his head. "Don't worry. You can also use Dark Element, so you can destroy that energy once it starts entering your soul. Since Celis is also connected to you, he will be able to tell if anything different is happening to your body. Last but not least, you will be holding one of the sphere shards. It will shine with a red light once you get close to a crimson sphere."
Celis liked the idea. "It's definitely a lot better than just waiting here. Alright, Kentucky and I will investigate the place. You guys can catch up to us later."
Neither Duran nor Frin was against it. "Sounds fine to us."
Kentucky didn't like the idea very much, but he knew that there was no point in arguing. After all, Rean and Roan had their work cut out for them. Frin and Ruan would be responsible for their safety as well. "Fine! But if I see any signs of danger, I'm definitely flying away."
"That's why I'm sending you to do the recognition," Roan said in response. "You can keep flying high in the skies, avoiding most of the attention, especially with Rean's concealment skill active."
Roan then passed a crimson sphere shard to Kentucky and Celis before using a jade slip to mark down the position with the greatest concentration of energy. Roan didn't know this place very well, so he had been making a map ever since he started to move. Of course, he hadn't seen the place he talked about yet, so he could only point how far it was from this location, more or less. "If you need to retreat, head back to this city. We will meet you two after we destroy the crimson spheres. If you see that you can keep watching that spot without problems, then just stay there."
"Alright." Kentucky nodded before Celis jumped on his back again. Soon after, he took flight, eventually disappearing in the distance.
Roan then looked at Frin, Duran, and Rean, telling them, "Let's stay together. Duran and Frin will obviously be our fighting force. Rean will deal with any injuries that might appear while I'll guide us to the spheres. As I mentioned before, the demon beasts seem to be pursuing us. Rean will use his Light Concealment skill to keep us hidden while we pass by them, so only fight if necessary. Does anyone have any questions?"
Rean, Frin, and Duran shook their heads.
"Good. Let's go."
