Death… And Me

After that, Rean completely healed the Blade Tail Shark King, much to his surprise. With the promise of having his defects cured as well, he was more than happy to help. "So, you're trying to get to the Pol Continent, right?"

Roan nodded in response. "Since you're from here, you must know this place quite well."

Sharky nodded in response. "I do know my territory and the path I took to reach this place. However, I was given the mission by the Under Sea Kingdom to come, so I entered the Under Desert Sea through the route they told me to. That route is completely covered in aquatic demon beasts much stronger than me, so I wouldn't recommend it."

Sharky also added, "I can't help you much in selecting a route to move through. However, I can definitely be the vanguard as most of the aquatic demon beasts won't care if you're with me. Because I'm in the Transition Realm, the other Transition Realm demon beasts will think that you guys are my prisoners."

Roan shook his head, telling Sharky, "We will use this method only if we can be found. You saw us hiding with our skill earlier, right? We'll continue to use it."

Sharky shook his head, though. "You definitely have an amazing concealment skill. I couldn't feel your presence with my Divine Sense at all. However, I can definitely feel the changes in the current you left behind up to several kilometers. It was like you drew a line in the middle of the sea for me to follow. Most of the other Transition Realm demon beasts here are the type with very good senses, so they'll definitely notice your group even with the skill activated."

Hearing that, Carion mentioned, "I have a route that should be relatively safer. It shouldn't have as many Transition Realm aquatic demon beasts as other places. You're the first Transition Realm beast we found after more than two days traveling."

Sharky was impressed to hear that. "I don't know how you found this route, but it's really good. This territory we're in at the moment is mine, but it's new. There weren't any Transition Realm demon beasts here before. If not for that, we would have never met each other."

The twins were satisfied with Sharky's answer. That was one more proof that Carion and Briget's information about the route was really good. Then again, it's obvious that the information they had was from a few years in the past. After all, Sharky did say he was put here just a few years ago.

"Alright, Carion will continue to guide us. As for Sharky, he will be at the front. Sharky, I didn't kill all your Stage Seven and Eight Blade Tail Sharks, so tell the rest to come to your aid. It'll be easier to believe that we're your prisoners if you have more of them around."

"Wouldn't that be bad?" Briget asked in response. "What if he decides to turn on us while we're passing through the territory of another aquatic demon beast?"

Roan snorted in response. "He can try. However, he won't be alive to see what will happen next if that happens."

Sharky would sweat if he could. There's no way he would do such a thing. He just got his sentience not long ago, so he didn't want to die so soon. Nevertheless, he agreed with Briget. "I agree with the woman, though. It would be bad to have my subordinates following me. That would be the same as saying that I can't deal with you own my own, so others will come to check."

Roan didn't go against Sharky's words. "You're the one who lives here. If you're the one refusing to bring your subordinates, then it must be a bad choice since they would be under your control. Alright then. We'll just follow you. Carion will show the way as always."

"You can count on me. I'll keep my part of the deal," Carion said in response, happy to see that his father's information about the route was mostly correct so far.

With that, their group finally departed once again.

Along the way, Falangia couldn't help but ask, "Rean, isn't there anything I can do to help? I've only been cultivating together with Rafatia and Luan all the time. Luan, at the very least, can help you with that eye ability of his in case something you don't know comes our way."

Rean sighed in response, telling her, "Unfortunately, I really don't know how you could help in this situation. It might look rude, but even as cannon fodder, you wouldn't be of any help. Enemies who could pose a threat to us will simpl-" It was then that Rean had an idea. "Oh... I think I do know what you can help with. Take this." Rean then passed a piece of equipment to Falangia.

"What's this?" asked Falangia.

Rean smiled before sending her a Divine Sense message, explaining its use. "Do you understand?"

Falangia had a shocked expression on her face, but she nodded nonetheless. "Can this thing really achieve that?"

"That will depend on how well you choose to use it," Rean replied as he shrugged his shoulders.

Falangia's shocked expression then turned serious after that. "Alright."

"Mommy, what did big brother Rean give you?" Suddenly, the curious Rafatia joined the conversation.

However, Falangia just shook her head, saying, "It's nothing, baby." It was then she thought of an excuse. "It's just one more of those candies. They're very good, so I asked big brother Rean for another one."

"Oh!" Rafatia's eyes lit up in response. "Can I have one too?"

Rean laughed out loud as he nodded. "Hahaha! Of course!" He had a lot of them, so he gave the girl another one. Of course, he noticed the jealous expression of Luan on Kentucky's back, so he gave Luan one as well.

With that, Rean looked forward when he suddenly received a message from Roan through their Soul Connection. 'Does that even work?'

Rean smiled in response.. 'Nope.'
