Death… And Me

Chapter 2399 Zrufalin

Chapter 2399 Zrufalin

"Then why not send a lot of Space-Time Experts and similar with you instead of us?" Bacia asked.

Rean sighed, though. "Let me guess... Not everyone in the Humanoid, Demon Beasts, and Spirit Races knows about it. Am I right?"

Nolui could only confirm Rean's words. "Yes. It's nothing that surprising, is it? We are allied to take down the Devils, but that doesn't mean we are friends. Just what kind of treasure is behind this new Pseudo-Temporal Path that made the Vruves move out? Flinyu and Fosleve are keeping the secret, so they only sent me at first. Now that you got somehow involved, they also included you in this."

"Alright, it is all coming together now," Kentucky finally spoke. "However, you haven't told us how the Vruves found out about it. If even most of our experts in the Realm of Gods don't know, how did they sniff it out?"

"That's where my knowledge ends," Nolui shrugged his shoulders. "If I had the answer to your question, we could avoid so many more troubles related to the Vruves. They found out about it somehow, but I have absolutely no idea how they did it."

"Fine," Kentucky continued. "But how did you find out that the Vruves know about this path?"

"Because I was found by them when I was journeying there a second time," Nolui explained. "I might be wrong, but from the looks of it, they only know a partial location of the Path's entrance. After all, Pseudo-Temporal Paths are hard to find. The fact that I also appeared in that place where no one was supposed to be also hinted to them that I knew something."

"Having been found, I immediately ran away and only escaped after using many life-saving treasures," Nolui remembered. "But who would have thought that as soon as I got out of their range, they would contact the Devils and have their experts mobilized to capture me? I was already weak after such a long pursuit, so the appearance of the Devils sealed my destiny."

"Naturally, the Devils wouldn't give me up for free, so they hid me while they negotiated with the Vruves. I'm pretty sure that they are asking for help about the war against them here in the Realm of Gods in exchange for me," Nolui finally concluded. "Well, they don't have that card anymore. Hahaha!"

They also asked how Flinyu found Nolui's location after being captured, but Nolui refused to answer that question. There seemed to be some secret behind it. They also asked a lot more questions about the Vruves and what to expect when they arrived. Unfortunately, Nolui could only escape after finding the Vruves, so he knew little about their forces.

All he knew was that there shouldn't be many of them as experts at the Space-Time Realm and below aren't exactly plentiful. They were spies in the Realm of Gods, and the Vruves had to watch the other two Realms, too. That's why Nolui was confident they could put at least some resistance during this investigation with this group in case they were found by the Vruves.

Nolui's group continued to enter his Spatial Gates for a while, traveling for five days nonstop. During this time, everyone also recovered from their injuries from the attack on the fortress. Well, the serious ones were mostly due to Rean and Kentucky's assistance.

With a Late Space-Time Realm cultivator using Spatial Gates, the travel was many times faster than what it would have been if Rean was the one using them. By now, they were already far away from the Tormalek Continent, having reached another Continent much further into the Devils' Territory: Paradito Continent. 

This continent was still well within the Devils' Graps, and little changed even after the war started. The harvesting of living souls continued as always. It's just that the number of Devils taking care of such things reduced a lot, with most of them being sent to the war.

Nonetheless, this continent was so far away that it could be said to be one of the last continents that would be conquered. Defense wasn't very high, nor did it have a need to since it wouldn't make sense to start an attack in this place. 

An army of the Realm of Gods would have to completely disconnect itself from the rest of the Realm of Gods forces if they wanted to attack this continent at the moment. That would be the same as suicide. Best case scenario, the war would take at least another hundred years to reach this place, so the Devils were little concerned about it.

*Zush!*

Somewhere in the Zrufalin Region of the Paradito Continent, a Spatial Gate opened without attracting any attention. From inside, a group of nine people and demon beasts came out. The leader quickly spread his Divine Sense, trying to see if there was any danger around. After finding nothing, he sighed in relief. "Seems like we are in the clear." Naturally, this group was Nolui and everyone else. 

"From here on out, we are going to fly. If we find any member of the Vruve Organization or Devils, we will act accordingly," he continued. "However, we will do our best to stay hidden. If everything goes well, we might reach the Pseudo-Temporal Path without being discovered."

Everyone nodded and quickly followed Nolui, who flew very close to the ground. Nolui also took out a circular golden treasure that shined with specs of white light while he guided everyone. "This thing can prevent Divine Senses from seeing us as long as the owner of the Divine Sense isn't too close. I ask you all to refrain from using your Divine Senses so that the other side can't find us either. I only used it when we arrived since I didn't know if there was a trap waiting for us. Now, there is no need anymore."

No one complained as they also didn't want to fight anyone.

Little did they know, though. The moment Nolui appeared in the Zrufalin Region, a certain pair of eyes opened and looked in his direction from a huge distance away.
