Chapter She Came Anyway
Seeing that Luina had somehow accepted his words, he quickly contacted Roan through their Soul Connection. "She seems to have accepted it."
Roan, who wasn"t in that meeting, nodded in response. "That"s good. If I was there, she would definitely throw a tantrum. I have no time for that."
"Don"t you think you"re a bit too cold sometimes? That"s something you should have done, not me," Rean complained.
Roan didn"t mind, replying, "Didn"t you just say it yourself? I"m more focused on results than words. Since I could get a better result with you talking, then so be it. Besides, you should know that I won"t give up on finding Calina."
"Fine," Rean could only agree. "If I didn"t know you, I would say you were afraid. It"s quite sad that you don"t even think it"s worth feeling anything from these kinds of situations."
Rean then finished his conversation with Roan before returning his attention to Luina and the others, telling them, "So, what do you think? Can you give Zangron a hand? Think of it as you paying Roan and me for the Free Continent we got for you."
Olly obviously agreed. "Sure, no problem. Then again, how exactly will you leave? Do you have a way out? I"ll be honest here. I can"t see you escaping under the Rambram Sect"s watch."
Luina thought the same. "Indeed. If anything, you"ll be captured and lose a lot of privileges that you could have gotten if you returned willingly. Since you tried to escape, they"ll make sure that neither of you will have a chance to do so in the future."
Rean smiled in response. "That"s a secret. Just know that we won"t be entering the spatial gates with all of you. Instead, I want you guys to stay here until it"s close to the end of the week given by the Rambram Sect before leaving. That should provide some cover for us. As for the rest, we can deal with it on our own."
Luina, Olly, and Zangron didn"t know how the twins would do it. After all, the continental barrier was supposed to be blocked, so pa.s.sing through it should be impossible without the spatial gates prepared by the Rambram Sect.
Well, they weren"t wrong. Even Fluki, the Kibin who could swim through the continental barriers, couldn"t enter it because of the formation protecting it.
Luina didn"t ask any further, though. "Alright, I can accept that. Now, what about all the Circuitry Formation items you"re leaving here? Is it really okay?"
Rean didn"t care, telling them, "Don"t worry. What we left behind will be of some use, but not enough to copy the entire communication system. The core of the system is in the System Sect, and that will be coming with us. I"m quite curious to see what the Rambram Sect will be able to do with what we left behind. Can they figure it out, or can they not. Even the Formation Masters who helped us never had access to the core. That was something only Havek and I did with the help of the sect members who are coming with us."
That was true. All the DPUs and controlling formations were inside the System Sect. Nevertheless, there were many Router Formations and the like out there, so the Rambram Sect and the others would still have something to play around with. Rean wasn"t lying when he said he was curious to see what they could figure out with what was left behind.
"Now then, I guess this is it for us. Do you have something you wish to ask before Roan and I move out?" Rean asked.
"Wait!" Luina immediately intervened. "Are you leaving already? Where"s Roan then? I want to talk to him."
Rean glanced at Luina before asking her, "Are you sure? You do know that he won"t listen."
Luina nodded in response. "I just want to talk. Don"t worry. I"ll keep it short."
Rean shrugged his shoulders in response and told her where she could find Roan. Since he at least convinced her to stay, Roan could deal with the rest himself. Meanwhile, he decided to return to the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm to check things out.
Somewhere else in the capital, Roan was having a talk with Luan, who had improved a lot during the war. "Your control over s.p.a.ce is already similar to Rean"s and mine even though you"re over an entire realm below."
Luan was happy to hear that. "Indeed, father. However, because I can"t control as much Divine Energy, I can"t generate the same level of power as you and uncle Rean do. In a clash at the same realm, I"m still weaker."
Roan didn"t mind, replying, "It"s fine. You do know what Rean and I have on our side. I"ll be very impressed if you can even match us at the same level. For now, that should be our goal. I"ll tell Rean to forge a sword for you using the same method as our weapons. It"ll still be in the Golden High-level, but he"ll definitely use Divine level materials for it."
Luan became even happier after hearing that. That"s because he knew it would include World Essence, which made the twins" weapons unparalleled. Then again, they were already unmatched even without that because of Rean"s knowledge as a metallurgist. The World Essence only made them even scarier, making them capable of jumping two to three stages in quality. Of course, he wouldn"t talk about World Essence outside the Dimensional Realm. "Thanks, father."
One must not forget Luan was already in the Elemental Transformation Realm, currently at the Middle Stage. Well, he could have gone even higher. However, Roan wanted him to get used to his strength first. With that being said, Luan had to spend a lot of time in the Initial and Middle Stages. In any case, it was all for his own good.
"By the way, father." Luan soon remembered something before using Divine Sense. "Are we heading to the demon beasts" territory first, or are we heading straight to the demons?"
Roan immediately answered. "We"re heading to the demon beasts" territory. We"re not in a hurry, after all. We"ll have our breakthrough there and then think about the demons after that."
Suddenly, Roan received a message from Rean, making him narrow his eyes as he muttered, "So she came after me anyway..."
