Chapter 2989  Manipulating Sunlight Energy

"Sister Orb, any ideas why it found me so easily?" Rean quickly asked while the twins began to move again.

[Hum... I think it might be Sunlight Energy. This place is filled with it, and the Sunlight Beasts here are likely more sensitive to it as well. The places you pass through probably cause distortions in the environment's Sunlight Energy, which catches the Sunlight Beasts' attention.]

Sister Orb wasn't wrong. It wasn't like Rean was the only one with his concealment methods. Other experts had treasures or abilities to try to hide away from the Sunlight Beasts, but they all failed miserably and were forced to fight, just like the twins.

However, Rean faintly smiled and quickly controlled his Yang Energy. The Yang Energy interacted with the Sunlight Energy around them, creating an illusion of no disturbance. Combined with the Light and Divine Sense Bending Skill, Rean should be invisible to them now. "Being the epitome of Light and yang has its perks."

Roan ignored it and charged forward through the path Sister Orb mentioned. Rean quickly followed while keeping the two of them within his techniques' range. They found another Sunlight Beast that was still in its sphere of Sunlight Energy form. It would only take the shape of a beast once it detected anything nearby. Rean felt the Sunlight Energy inside and narrowed his eyes. 'Definitely as strong as a Stage Eight Demon Beast at the very least...'

'Fuck it,' Roan didn't care. 'If we focus solely on running away, even it won't be able to stop us. Let's give this method of yours a try.' They could still merge with each other, so they could get stronger instantly.

Rean nodded, and they approached it slowly until Rean got to the same range as the previous Sunlight Beast. However, the sphere of concentrated Sunlight Energy didn't change form at all. A few seconds later, they passed by and began to open their distance.

'Phew...' Rean sighed in relief. 'It seems like Sister Orb was right. It is indeed the disruption of Sunlight Energy. Let me try something.'

Before departing, Rean turned around and used his Spiritual Energy far behind, somewhere near the Sunlight Beast. Right in the middle of the air, a disturbance in the Sunlight Energy occurred, which instantly caught the Sunlight Beast's attention.

*Roar!*

In a fraction of a second, it changed into the shape of a bird demon beast and attacked that empty space. Naturally, it hit nothing since there was nothing there. Nonetheless, it served to confirm Sister Orb's theory. 'Yes, it is definitely Sunlight Energy. Let's get out of here before that thing accidentally comes in our direction.'

The Sunlight Beasts continued to rampage around the area Rean disturbed while the twins got away. However, that wasn't everything Rean did. Now, a very small amount of Spiritual Energy, Yang Energy, and Light Element was left behind by Rean.

Roan glanced at that, understanding his intention. 'Need help?'

Rean shook his head. 'It is fine. This should last for a while.'

The two then left the area.

As they moved, Roan remembered something. 'Right, we almost forgot. Sister Orb, are you still able to find anything wrong with our bodies from the treasure room?'

[Uh? Well, sure. Is there something you need me to look into?]

Roan nodded. 'You know our Weapon Intents. See if you can find any remnants of Sword Intent inside our bodies.'

[Okay!]

Sister Orb quickly concentrated, and sure enough, she found it.

[Oh! Both of you have it. It is that Diliy's Sword Intent you mentioned, right? Indeed, it feels different from the Sword Intent Rean uses even though it is at the same level. How can I say... It feels a lot more refined.]

'Can you get rid of it?' Rean asked.

[No,] Sister Orb was powerless at the moment. [Until I can return to the Control Orb, I'm truly incapable of doing anything. However, I can point out where in your bodies they are. With Rean's Instant Recovery skill, you can simply cut it off and regrow it in a few seconds. Neither of them are inside any vital organ.]

'Say it!' Rean and Roan didn't think twice. Being tracked down was truly a terrible feeling. Above all, that also proved they truly needed Sister Orb with them.

Diliy's Sword Intent was left in Rean's left abdomen and Roan's upper shoulder, just a tiny bit. The twins immediately made two incisions with their Spiritual Energies and cut those small parts of their bodies off. The Instant Recovery Skill activated right after, healing the damaged areas.

'How is it now?' The twins asked again.

[That was it. The Sword Intents are gone from your bodies now.]

With that, the twins pressed forward.

Somewhere else, Diliy's attention was picked as he looked in a different direction. 'No... could it be Asterix died? My Sword Intent just got destroyed...' He couldn't help but get sad as he expected great things from Rean. Nonetheless, he shook his head and focused ahead as the Sun Urpin guided him.

Sister Orb had her Senses spread all over the palace, and she could see everyone's locations... except for one.

In a different direction from the treasure room in the central area, a Sun Urpin made his way through a secret passage no one was supposed to know about. The Sun Urpin seemed to be one with the palace itself, so neither the Sunlight Beasts nor Sister Orb could detect his presence. The impressive thing was that this place's Sunlight Energy was even more concentrated to the point even Transition Realm experts would suffer to resist. Yet, this Sur Urpin, who was only at Stage Six, seemed completely fine with it. If the twins were here, they would immediately recognize him. It was none other than Klifon.

After a while, Klifon left the secret passage, appearing inside an enormous chamber where thousands of chains could be seen. They were all attached to a Giant Sphere of Sunlight Energy that burnt with intense heat akin to a real sun surface. Klifon looked at that, surprised to see it was still burning. 'Mother...'
