Chapter 2077 Obligation
Sesame immediately felt the oscillations in the fabric of s.p.a.ce. He quickly retreated and hid just in case. Of course, he heard about Beelzebub from Roan, but it was better to be cautious. Sure enough, a Black Fly-like Soul came out of s.p.a.ce and appeared near Roan.
Roan, however, wasn"t the least bit worried. He was the one who checked the terms of the pact he did with Beelzebub and was absolutely sure there were no gaps that could be exploited. "So you came. You didn"t let anyone follow you here on purpose, right?"
"Hmph!" Beelzebub felt offended by his words. "Do you take me for an idiot? If I did something like that, I would risk showing my presence to those f.u.c.kers who sealed me. So, where is this Fragment of the Uni-"
However, just as he was about to finish his words, his perception noticed something. "Did you break our pact? How dare you mount a trap for me here?! Come out!"
Beelzebub quickly attacked the spot where Sesame was hiding, forcing the Pixiu to come out. "Hum? I don"t remember your face... Still, you are definitely in the Divinity Realm."
Sesame checked Beelzebub"s strength with his Divine Sense and finally relaxed. He could tell Beelzebub was indeed at the Elder Devil level. However, his power was lacking for some reason. "I"m not here to attack you. Instead, my instruction is to protect this human you are talking to. As long as you don"t try anything funny, I won"t do anything either."
Roan snorted at Beelzebub. "And you say you aren"t an idiot. If I had planned against you, my soul would be gone already. You should know that better than anyone else. He is indeed just here to help me. Besides, with your perception, you should be able to tell that this cat here isn"t much stronger than you are at the moment."
Only then did Beelzebub relax a little. Indeed, he could tell that Sesame wasn"t a Devil but a living being instead. In the Underworld and especially in the Reincarnation Path Area, he had absolutely no reason to fear Sesame. He might even be stronger instead. "Whatever. However, you truly surprised me. s.p.a.ce Bending Realm Late Stage. Just what kind of tricks did you use to reach this level so fast?"
Roan didn"t try to hide it from him. "Swamp of No Return."
Beelzebub immediately understood the situation. "I see... Although only a few decades have pa.s.sed for me, you have been cultivating for several more times longer in that time messed up place. I"m impressed that you managed to come out at all. But then again, after what I saw you and that idiot of a brother of yours are capable of doing, I can accept it somehow."
Beelzebub then glanced at Sesame and warned. "I have my eyes on you. If he told you about my ident.i.ty as a Soul Devil, you should know better not to cause any trouble."
"I don"t need to hear it twice." Sesame simply agreed.
Beelzebub didn"t ask Roan about Rean since he knew that they had that huge Dimensional Realm. He was bound to be there in Beelzebub"s head. "So, what do you want me to do... Wait!"
Immediately after, Beelzebub flapped his wings, causing a wave of Soul Energy to pa.s.s through the land ahead. "So this is what you were talking about. Indeed, there is no doubt this is a formation put up by that Belial. I would never mistake his AfterLife Fog Mantra properties."
Roan nodded. "That"s correct. The Universe Foundation Fragment is inside this place."
"How come Belial isn"t here? First of all, how could he risk leaving this Fragment in the open like this?" Beelzebub found it strange.
However, Roan had no intention of explaining. "You don"t need to know. All you need to know is that one of those formations will probably call him here straight away. That"s why I called you. Since you are a Soul Devil, you should be able to nullify those formations ahead, especially the one that could somehow bring Belial here."
Beelzebub closed his eyes and felt the Soul Energy he released over the area, a.n.a.lyzing the situation in detail while making sure to not activate the formations by mistake. "You did the right thing. There is an Illusion Formation, the Fog Mantra Soul Concealing Formation. It can act directly on the soul of the target, making them ignore the things it wishes to hide."
"The second one is just an energy source formation that captures the energy of Dead Souls to provide the other two," he added. Roan, obviously, got even more confident since Beelzebub"s a.n.a.lysis was the same as Sister Orb"s.
"The first two aren"t a problem. Well, they aren"t a problem because I"m the one you called, a Soul Devil at the Elder Devil Level. The third one is the really risky s.h.i.t. You probably guessed that it is a Teleportation Formation, and that"s right. However, you got one thing wrong. This formation wasn"t made to bring Belial here. Did you forget Elder Devils can"t enter this Reincarnation Area unless they pay a heavy price?"
He continued. "Instead, this thing will teleport the Fragment away. Not only that, it was very cleverly made. To get to the Fragment, you have to first deal with the illusion. The same can be said about the teleport formation itself. So whether you try to take the Fragment or deactivate the teleport formation, you have to deal with the illusion first. But if you do that, the teleport formation will activate straight away. You can say bye-bye Fragment if that happens."
Even Sister Orb"s check couldn"t see that far. When it came to Deal Souls-related things, Beelzebub was truly in a league of his own.
However, Beelzebub was feeling quite gloomy. "f.u.c.k, if not for that pact..."
Roan obviously could guess what Beelzebub was thinking, but he didn"t care. "Alright, here"s the favor I need from you. Recover that Fragment and give it to me. Then we will have nothing to do with each other anymore. Once a thousand years are gone, you can come after Rean and me if so you wish."
