Death… And Me Chapter 1831: Another One

Chapter 1831: Another One

Rean and Roan looked at each other before Roan said, "It's not a bad idea to use the fragment's power. I just didn't expect we could separate it from the fragment."

Rean nodded, saying, "I didn't know it would work either. However, these weird powers might have been something from the other fragment. In fact, even the Clenhest Stones might have gotten their weird anti-flight power because of the fragments."

[I have to agree with Rean on that. I just know what the Clenhest Stone can do, but I don't know why it has this kind of power. Rean's probably right on that point.]

The twins then began to walk forward as the sharp stones continued to fly at tremendous speeds around them. However, not even a single one was flying towards their bodies as there was no pus.h.i.+ng force there anymore. Of course, the twins didn't drop their guard and were ready to jump into the Dimensional Realm at any time in case this method didn't work anymore.

However, it was at this moment that the demon soul inside the altar finally decided to speak. 'This... isn't this power the same as the Universe Foundation?'

One must remember that Rean and Roan captured the altar where the demon was locked inside many years ago. However, the demon soul didn't cooperate at all, so they sealed it somewhere inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. In theory, it wasn't supposed to feel anything at all there.

Hearing that, Roan immediately asked back, 'You know about the broken Universe Foundation?'

The demon soul noticed he had spoken too much. 'Forget what I said.'

Rean laughed in response, replying, 'Hahaha! So you're still not willing to talk, huh? I thought you would have noticed that you can't escape by now, but you continue to be as stubborn as ever.' 

Due to how the twins sealed the demon soul's altar, it didn't know anything that had happened so far. It couldn't even tell that an entire sect was built inside the Dimensional Realm. Back then, the demon soul didn't think the twins' Dimensional Realm would have the power to hold his soul for long, so he would be free eventually. 

However, Rean's word hit where it hurt. It really hadn't even felt a slight change in the past decades, let alone sense his chance to escape. 'Hmph! I have waited countless years, so what do a few decades mean? I just didn't expect that you would get close to a Foundation Fragment.' The reason it could feel the fragment now was basically because it was resonating with the other fragment inside the ruins. Otherwise, the demon soul would have been feeling nothing as always.

Roan pondered over it for a bit before saying, 'Wanna make a deal?'

The demon soul was taken aback before he started to laugh out loud. 'Hahahahaha! Me? A deal with two ants like you? Why would I do such a thing? First of all, would you trust my words? Not even I would trust myself.'

Roan faintly smiled in response, murmuring, 'Underworld Soul Forcing Link.'

The demon soul instantly stopped laughing as shock filled his mind. 'First, the Foundation's power, now the Soul Forcing Link... you're a demon, right? However, I felt your body and soul. You're definitely a human. What is happening here? No, do you even know what the Soul Forcing Link does?'

Rean was obviously puzzled, asking, 'What are you two talking about?'

Roan shrugged his shoulders, replying, 'Just think of it as the Jamai Sect Oath. Once done, neither he nor I will be able to break our word. It's just that it's a lot more brutal. That's because one side can use it to slowly take over the other's soul. It's a very dangerous thing for both sides. But at the same time, it's a guaranteed method to force someone to fulfill their part of the deal.'

Rean then asked Roan alone, saying, 'I can understand why you didn't offer him such a thing before. However, are you sure you want to do it? You're still in the Transition Realm. Just how strong was this demon's cultivation before it was separated from its body? Besides, does it even work now that you're human? No, wait. First of all, you weren't a demon but a Death Spirit. Death Spirits are obviously several ranks below demons in the hierarchy.'

Roan nodded, telling him, 'I know, but I think I can deal with it. At the very least, I won't be taken over.'

'Why?' Rean asked back.

'Because of the system,' Roan answered. 'Don't forget, it protects our souls. I wasn't very willing to rely on it before since there was no guarantee. However, I'm a lot more confident now in my own soul strength.'

Rean sighed after hearing that. 'Since you say so, I won't stop you.'

Meanwhile, on another side of the same ruin, Rlakux and company arrived at the force field. "Sure enough, it is as Elder Krankax mentioned. The power of the Foundation Fragment is still present." He then looked at Fratekla, the female demon. "It's now up to you, princess."

Fratekla narrowed her eyes in response as she warned Rlankux, "Call me that again, and see how I eat your soul during my next lunch. You just got a full belly, right? I'm sure it's very tender at the moment."

Rlankux shrugged his shoulders with a smile in response but didn't say anything else. The other three demons with them then looked at each other. If anything, they wanted to see that happen so that they could watch the show. Yet, other than acquiring the fragment in these ruins, they also came here to protect Fratekla. They knew only death awaited them if they returned without her, and the same went for Rlankux.

Seeing that Rlankux closed his mouth, Fratekla snorted and then took out something that looked like a crystal ball from her Pocket Dimensional. It shone with both white and black light. However, if Rean and Roan were here, they would have definitely recognized the item inside it. After all, there was another fragment of the Universe Foundation there!
