1956 You Better Have Them Ready

While staying close to the ground, the twins flew forward, getting further away from the Gods' Dividing Barrier. At some point, even something as big as the barrier disappeared from their sight. The problem was that the twins didn't have any information on anything inside the devils' territory. That meant they didn't know where they could find a city or anything like that.

Nevertheless, they could only keep going forward. At least, by using the maps from the demon beasts' territory, they could at least fly in the direction of the central region.

The sky continued to stay completely dark, impacting the visibility. Then again, they could use their Divine Senses along the way, so it wasn't a problem. It wasn't like there was no light, either. It's just that it was much worse than nighttime back in the other territories.

A few days of traveling later, Rean and Roan could finally see some changes in the environment. 'The concentration of Dark Element here is higher than when we crossed the Gods' Dividing Barrier,' Roan mentioned.

Rean checked it as well. He couldn't tell it as precisely as Roan, but he could still feel it. 'That's to be expected. I don't think Dark Element is generated naturally in the devils' territory. Something must be spreading it, and we should be getting close.'

Rean was right about that. Also, it was the only clue they had about where they should fly to. By following the concentration of Dark Element, the twins ended up arriving at what seemed to be the first location with living beings ever since they came to the territory.

From afar, the twins noticed that some kind of barrier began to appear in the distance. It extended to both sides, and it wasn't possible to see the end. The same could be said for the sky. However, it was very different from the continental barrier. Instead, it seemed to be a formation.

The twins approached it and felt the presence of Divine Sense touching their Divine Sense bending skill. Yet, the owners of those Divine Senses were too weak. Their Divine Senses weren't enough to pierce through the bending.

Rean touched the barrier in front of them after stopping in front of it. 'A formation that's quite high-leveled.' He then forced his hand a little, making it pass through the barrier without problems. 'This isn't something made to hold anyone inside or outside.'

Roan did the same thing and immediately understood. 'There's no Dark Element inside this thing.' It was obvious that the barrier was made to only keep the Dark Element out.

Realizing this, the twins looked at each other and nodded. They put their heads and the rest of their bodies through, easily entering the other side. With that, they could finally see some life. Soon, a forest expanded ahead as their Divine Senses caught sight of many demon beasts.

Rean then looked in the direction he could feel the Divine Senses before asking, 'Should we take a look?'

Roan didn't even answer. He was already heading in that direction. 'We need to check if the Divine Senses are from the demon beasts or someone else.'

Rean then kept his Divine Sense bending skill spread with as much power as possible, just in case a stronger Divine Sense appeared. Fortunately, the strongest one touching them was only at the Elemental Transformation Realm, so its owner would need to be very close to be able to feel the twins.

'Hmm?' The twins then saw a small wooden building in the distance. Surprisingly, there were a few humanoid race beings going in and out of it. In fact, the Elemental Transformation Realm Divine Sense was coming from inside as well.

On the side of that building, there were many captured living beings. From the looks of it, there were at least a few hundred of them. Every single one was a Demon Beast at Stage Five or above or some other race at the Nascent Soul Realm. Yet, none of them reached Stage Seven or the Saint Realm.

The twins wondered if they should show themselves. Or if they should return to their human forms before doing that. There were quite a lot of humanoid race beings captured as well, so showing themselves as humans might only cause trouble.

'What about capturing one of them to see what they know?' Rean asked, ready to take action.

Hearing that, Roan agreed with Rean. That would be the safest and easiest way of acquiring information. They could even use one of Rean's Soul Biding Contracts to make sure the captured target wouldn't talk later. None of them were still in the Void Tempering Realm, after all.

Yet, just as they were about to move, a few more Divine Senses touched Rean's Divine Sense bending skill. They quickly looked in the direction the Divine Senses were coming from and gave up their plan. Instead, they flew higher into the skies while the Light bending skill stayed active.

'Transition Realm... quite a few of them at that,' Rean mentioned. They had to stay a little bit further to make sure their Divine Sense bending skill wouldn't be pierced through.

While flying up, the twins noticed that a dark cloud began to approach the building's location. As they did so, the humanoid people near the building seemed to become nervous as they quickly rushed back. In the end, the Elemental Transformation Realm owner that was in the building came out, revealing the origin to be a woman with a few scars on her face. She narrowed her eyes for a moment but quickly returned to normal.

The dark cloud stopped right above the building before it revealed a bunch of horned beings with red eyes. Some of them had humanoid forms, while others seemed more like demon beasts. Yet, Rean and Roan could easily tell that they were all devils. The Dark Element coming out of their bodies already told them that.

With the Divine Sense bending skill, Rean could tell that the strongest devil among them was at the Late Stage of the Transition Realm. He was also the one who came forward to do the talking. "You better have them ready."
