Chapter 2636 No Doubt
*Clang, clang, clang, boom!*
A battle was ongoing as the twins fought some kind of dark creature. It had been going on for several minutes, but the creature was able to defend against all their attacks and attack back. The twins had to be extra careful since Rean"s Instant Recovery Skill needed Light Element, and in this Wonderland, they couldn"t use their Elements at all. If they tried, something else would appear instead.
"Death Style, Three Claws of the Dragon!"
Rean"s sword flashed... however, they didn"t divide into three copies like normally. The copies were created through the manipulation of Light and Dark Elements, and since they couldn"t use Elements, only the main sword remained. *Clang!*
Rean"s sword hit the target but seemed to be barred by something hard. Rean didn"t mind. He just looked behind his target. Naturally, it was Roan who appeared there. "Death Style, Death Scythe!"
On Roan"s side, Death Scythe didn"t really need Light and Dark Elements, so he was able to use his Sky Energy and Weapon Aura in the attack without them. Rean was nothing but a distraction.
*Swish!*
This time, the target wasn"t able to defend as it had to hold Rean a moment ago. As much as the twins didn"t like each other, their teamplay was truly flawless.
*Tud, tud!*
A body split in two fell to the ground. However, there was no blood. Instead, the creature began to dissipate into Chaos Laws until nothing was left.
"Just what is this thing?" Rean asked, feeling somewhat tired. Roan shook his head. "Seems to be something made of the Chaos Laws. Other than that, I don"t know." Even Roan seemed to sweat a little. Kentucky then landed on their side. "Was it really okay for me to not help you two?"
The twins nodded. "If anything happens, your speed might be necessary. We can"t let you spend your energies here." Since they couldn"t use their elements and laws, everything they did with Sky Energy and Weapon Auras had to be even more fuelled. Also, the creature they just defeated was anything but weak. No, that"s not entirely correct. If the twins had access to their Elements, they would have won quite easily. There wouldn"t even be a need for them to fight together. Yet, they couldn"t.
"Hum?" It was then that Rean noticed something. He approached the place where the creature disappeared and extended his hand. Immediately, Chaos Laws began to rush into his body. "This..."
The Chaos Laws he got from the Creature were completely different from the Chaios Laws he could gather on his own. For a moment, he felt the presence of the Light Laws inside it. They were so clear that Rean felt like he might literally touch them. Too bad it lasted only a second. Also, Rean wasn"t prepared, so he couldn"t use that chance.
"Roan!" Rean then looked at Roan, excited. "Did you feel that?"
Roan nodded as his eyes showed some surprise. He obviously felt it through his connection with Rean. "Lola said that we are not aligned with the laws of this realm... or world. I believe I now understand what she really meant by it."
Rean tried to get more of those Chaos Laws, but they were already gone. It seemed like they lost the chance to absorb it. "Indeed. We are not aligned with the laws of this world, so the world itself is preventing us from using the Chaos Laws for our comprehension. She did say the world had its defenses against foreigners, after all. That cultivation drop was one of them. However, the Chaos Laws of these creatures might not be something this world can control; that"s why I was able to clearly feel the Light Laws within the little bit of Chaos Laws I just got."
"Exactly," Roan looked around, trying to see if there weren"t any more of those creatures around. "There are two things that we can do with the Chaos Laws of these beasts. The first one is obviously to comprehend our own laws, which is our objective and the system"s quest. The second one should be to align our bodies with the laws of this world. If we manage to do that, we shouldn"t even need the Chaos Laws of these creatures anymore."
"But we don"t know how many of these things we will need to kill before we can align our bodies to this world"s laws," Rean commented. "Perhaps it will be best if we use them all to comprehend our first sublaw so that we can complete the quest."
Roan narrowed his eyes before he connected to the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.
*Zush!*
Right after, Zelis appeared outside, looking curiously around. "So this is the Hidden Realm, uh? I was watching from outside."
Roan nodded. "The first sublaw of the Absorption Law is "sense," right? You mentioned before you needed it to understand all types of energy better. Our Divine Senses don"t go more than a few kilometers, and I can"t tell for sure if I can even trust what I"m seeing through it. Would you be able to use your sense of the Absorption Laws to find more of those creatures? I refuse to believe they are made of laws alone. They must have energy in their composition as well."
Celis nodded and immediately returned to his real form as a World Swallowing Cedar. Just like the twins and Kentucky, he had just recently started comprehending the Absorption Laws, and his first sublaw wasn"t even 5% of the way. Nonetheless, it has already made quite a difference in his own senses toward energies.
"You are right," Celis quickly spoke. "That creature was indeed mainly made of Chaos Laws, but it also had a hint of Energy inside it. It"s just that I can"t identify what kind of energy it is. It"s the first time I ever felt it."
[There is no doubt that is Chaos Energy.] Sister Orb suddenly commented. [This place... might be connected to the Chaos Origin Source.]
