Death… And Me

The demon beast attending there looked at Roan and couldn\'t recognize him, not that it mattered anyway. "Are you sure? You humanoid race beings are very opportunistic. If you think you can get the reward after giving fake information and disappear, you better think twice. There\'s no lack of people like you who lost their lives after trying their luck."

Roan shook his head, though. "There\'s no need to worry. First of all, the reason the demon beasts are looking for these two girls is basically that they want to find me... and my brother. Just contact your race\'s superior already. I\'m sure they\'ll be delighted to hear about me."

The demon beast narrowed its eyes when it heard that but still decided to give it a go. The order was to pass any information as unlikely it was, after all. "Very well, you come with me."

However, Roan shook his head. "I have a few other things to do. However, I\'ll be staying in this city. I\'ll come out when they arrive."

Before the demon beast could say anything, Roan had already disappeared from the building. At Roan\'s level, even a Space Bending Realm demon beast would have a hard time keeping track of him.

It didn\'t take more than a day for the Azure Dragon, Placake, to suddenly receive news about Roan. "What?! Are you sure he said that? What does he look like?!"

The younger dragon, who was passing over the news, used his Divine Sense to share the image of Roan\'s appearance in response. Since Roan wanted to be identified, he reverted to his original appearance. That was obviously the same appearance he had back during the Free Continent Competition.

"It\'s him! No, wait! This is his white-haired brother. No, that matters little. He should know where his brother is as well!" Placake was excited when his face changed again. "Wait! How many people know about this already?"

The younger dragon pondered over it for a bit before saying, "Well... the human\'s first appearance was reported by one of our cities on the continent of Glisgal. It\'s one of the bordering continents, so it had to pass through quite a few demon beasts before reaching me. As ancestor knows, we receive reports related to that Qia and Calina, which are mostly fake, so it took some time to screen through them as well. I would say quite a few demon beasts are aware of it, just like they are with other fake information."

"Fuck!" Placake\'s face looked terrible as he cursed out in anger. That went totally against his plans. His idea was to find the twins\' girls and then use the girls to attract the twins. That way, he could guide where the twins should have gone to hear more about the girls, and it would be safer to capture them. Yet, the twins decided to turn themselves before they even found the girls. It ended up with the normal channels being used to pass the information ahead. That also meant the spies from the humanoid and maybe even other races, like the devils, might be looking and already found out about it.

Without wasting time, Placake spread his Divine Sense and called Lanfia, Gardo, and another demon beast called Mladrem. \'Come with me. I found one of the twins. Is there anyone else around?\'

Lanfia was taken aback as she quickly opened a fissure in space. \'No, there\'s just the four of us. The rest are obviously spread in different parts of our territory. Two of them are even out, visiting other races on their own businesses.\'

\'It\'ll have to do,\' replied Placake as he also entered a fissure in space.

Gardo and Mladrem asked Placake back as they met in the middle of the space storms. \'What happened? Shouldn\'t we have found the two girls first? How come you found one of the twins without using those girls?\'

Placake shook his head, telling them, \'I thought the same thing. However, the black-haired twin decided to appear on his own. Worst of all, he appeared in a bordering continent with the spirits.\'

\'Shit!\' Gardo and Mladrem cursed after that. \'Will he even be there by the time we arrive?\'

\'I sure hope so,\' Lanfia said. \'At the very least, the humanoid races\' territory is on the opposite side of the demon beasts. It would take them longer to send experts capable of rivaling us through the Gods\' Dividing Barrier. We have a good chance.\'

She was right. The humanoid races did receive the information about Roan and sent some of their experts over. Yet, they were delayed by the Gods\' Dividing Barrier.

Back in the city where Roan was waiting, he purposely changed his appearance once again. After making sure no one was following him, he left and settled on a small hill nearby. Well, to be more specific, he wasn\'t really there, but in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, leaving the entrance there.

"So..." Rean looked at Roan. "You want to get the attention of not only the demon beasts but the other races as well."

Roan could only shrug his shoulders. "That\'s basically it. If they didn\'t know about Calina and Qia, we could have spent our time building our authority and doing a proper search. Unfortunately, we don\'t have that option anymore as we don\'t know when they might find the girls."

"Considering they\'re alive, right?" Celis asked back. He was a lot more realistic on this part.

Roan nodded in response. "Indeed. If they haven\'t found them yet, that might be because they\'re already dead."

[Hey, Roan, some of the visits you were waiting for have just arrived.]

Suddenly, three powerful Divine Senses fell over the entire city, examining every corner of it. However, because the twins\' Dimensional Realm was far away from the city, their Divine Senses weren\'t enough to find the entrance.

\'Where are they?\' One of the owners of those Divine Senses asked the others.

\'I can\'t find him,\' someone else answered.

\'Forget it.\' Finally, their leader decided. \'Capture everyone at the Peak Stage of the Transition Realm and above. Bring them close to us. If any of them has a Pocket Dimensional Realm, we\'ll sense it as long as it\'s close enough to us.\'
