DEATH… AND ME

, why did that eye pay attention to you for so long? ”

Roan shrugged his shoulders as he came up with an excuse, saying, ”I ’m pretty sure it ’s because of my Dark Element.
You do remember that I can use it to feel this different energy in this dimensional realm, right? Perhaps that eye noticed that.
Dark Element Affinity isn ’t something you see every day, after all.
If that ’s not the case, then I have no idea.
I ’m just grateful that terrifying thing went away. ”

Gulan finally recovered from the fear of the skeletal hand and felt somewhat glum as he muttered, ”In the end, that red-eyed being had a way to escape.
I couldn ’t destroy its soul. ”

Roan wanted to say that he shouldn ’t worry.
He also wanted to say that the skeletal hand definitely wouldn ’t give that demon ’s soul a good time.
Unfortunately, that would also mean that Roan knew the language spoken by one who had the skeletal hand.
He obviously wouldn ’t do that.

Rean then looked at Duran and Frin, asking, ”Seniors, can you feel anything else after that door closed? I don ’t want to become a target of that thing. ”

Duran and Frin shook their heads as one of them replied, ”We don ’t know.
Even at our level, we couldn ’t perceive that thing ’s presence until it appeared in front of our eyes.
Besides, don ’t forget that we can ’t use Spiritual Sense. ”

Rean nodded in response.
”I see…if even seniors can ’t feel anything, then let alone the rest of us. ” Rean then looked in the Blood Lake ’s direction before saying, ”Anyways, let ’s take a look at the island where the blood is gathering.
Now that the formation is active, something might have happened there. ”

Frin and Duran ’s eyes lit up in response, thinking that perhaps the portal to the Realm of Gods was now open.
If that was the case, then all these problems they went through would be worth it.

”Wait just one minute. ” Celis stopped them.
”Let ’s take a look in the red-eyed being ’s chamber.
After all, we still don ’t know the way out of this dimensional realm.
It ’s better to guarantee our way out before anything else. ”

No one was against Celis ’s idea as Kentucky and Gulan brought everyone inside the cave, eventually arriving at the ruins once again.
Not too long after, they arrived where the demon escaped from.

”No wonder Kentucky felt the presence of Heaven-level materials in large quantities.
Almost everything in this place was made using such rare materials. ” Rean was truly surprised by the view as he immediately started to collect them.
After all, Heaven-level materials were very valuable, even if he already had a lot of them.

The rest of the group also started to collect their own spoils, not minding sharing them with the rest. 

The only exception was Roan, who looked at a certain location of the chamber and approached it.
The Underworld Energy was protecting something inside a barrier, which he wanted to check.
He touched it with his hand and used his Dark Element to get rid of it.
After some time, a bunch of dark jade slips appeared in front of him, prompting him to look at the others and say, ”Guys, I think we can get a few answers here. ”

Naturally, everyone ’s attention was piqued by Roan ’s words as they looked at the dark jade slips.
