Death… And Me

Chapter 2990  Convergence

Thanks to his manipulation of Sunlight Energy, none of the Sunlight Beasts could feel Rean's presence anymore. That allowed the twins to flash past the fastest routes without a care for the world. It goes without saying that no fights gave them a great advantage regarding speed. Even though they weren't in the Transition Realm, they arrived in the central area with a few minutes to spare compared to the others.

There, they saw a tower at the center going several kilometers high, and at the very top, a giant ball of fire burnt nonstop.

"So much Sunlight Energy..." Even Rean felt a little uncomfortable now. Roan ignored that, though. "That thing is probably the reason the Sun Urpins are making their way here. They can feel its presence."

Sister Orb added. [It is also that thing that acts like a sun in this palace and probably the Sunlight Realm outside. It is the reason for this place to have no nights.]

Rean and Roan nodded and took their attention away from it. Regardless if it was a treasure or not, they were certain they couldn't get close to it now. Not to mention that priority number one was to take Sister Orb back. "Where to, Sister Orb?"

[Ignore the central tower where that sun or whatever is. Go to the hall located on the opposite side. There is a very small hut there made of the same yellow marble as the entire palace. The entrance to the treasure room is hidden in the left corner of the back.]

The twins nodded and swiftly made their way around the tower, keeping their distance to not be affected by the Sunlight Energy from the sun. Yet, when they saw the hut, both Rean and Roan narrowed their eyes. The hut was a lot closer to the tower than they expected. 'Sister Orb, we can't get close. There is way too much Sunlight Energy near it.'

[What?!] Sister Orb couldn't really feel the Sunlight Energy since she was inside the crystal. What she felt was what her Divine Sense could perceive, which was different from a body feeling. [Let me see... That is not good. The tower in the center doesn't have an entrance to the treasure room. However, the treasure room is indeed located below it. It's just that the entrance is the hut. I thought you would be fine once you went underground...]

The twins narrowed their eyes. That limited their options.

'Perhaps Roan can use his Dark Element to corrode the ground and make a tunnel leading to the treasure room?'

Roan's Dark Element was the purest, so it could corrode almost anything given enough time, especially in a mortal world. However, Roan quickly shook his head. 'Out of the question. This palace is made with material from the Higher Realms. But that is not really the issue. My Dark Element could indeed open a path for us... it is just that it would take several hours or probably days. The walls around the treasure room are bound to be even more resistant, so days might become weeks, actually.'

Let's not forget the twins are still in the Late Stage of the Core and Soul Fusion Realm. There was only so much they could achieve with their strength.

[That makes things complicated... what are our options?]

*Boom!*

Suddenly, one of the gates leading to that central area exploded. Right after, Two Sun Urpins and Four Transition Realm experts barged inside before taking distance from each other. No doubt none of them were friends.

One of them looked around while keeping his attention on the other experts. "Solowes, is this the place?" He asked after noticing the sun above the tower.

Solawes was the Sun Urpin that guided him here. "Yes, that is the thing that caught my and the other Sun Urpin's attention. However, Sunlight Energy here is too thick. I can't tell what is inside that tower at all."

"Naragui, is it the same to you?" Another cultivator, this one a Demon beast in humanoid form, asked the second Sun Urpin.

"Indeed. I, too, can't feel anything. There is just too much Sunlight Energy. It was good to bring us here, but it is clouding my senses now that we got close," Naragui answered.

*Zum!*

Another gate on the west side opened, and another Transition Realm expert entered the room. It was Zana and Feelo. These two were lucky enough to teleport close to each other, so Feelo brought Zana here.

"Hum?" Zana looked at the guys not far away. "I thought we would be the first ones to arrive."

Feelo could tell why. "We had to fight the Sunlight Beasts on the way, remember? They have four members while you and I are only two. They must have joined forces to move faster."

Zana ignored that and took another treasure from her Spatial Ring. Immediately, a powerful Water Element barrier appeared around her, keeping most of the Sunlight Energy at bay. She then shot in the tower's direction.

"Oh, no, you won't!" The Transition Realm experts immediately acted, attacking Zana.

*Boom, boom, boom...*

Several explosions took place, and Zana was forced away from the tower's entrance. "Jarno, Tsuer, Zablin, Corofel... I know you four. Why are you attacking me? I don't remember having done anything to any of you or the backgrounds you came from."

"Hmph!" Jarno snorted in response. "You just did. You tried to get ahead to obtain the Divine Werdlem Stone first. That is more than enough reason to make an enemy of everyone else." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Zana felt like she was about to explode. "Fuck you! Then what will you do? Attack everyone else and hope you alone will survive?"

Neither of those four Transition Realm experts were friends. They all wanted the Divine Werdlem Stone. They only acted together because Zana seemed to have a treasure capable of shielding her against the Sunlight Energy. They couldn't let her enter the tower at any cost.

*Swish, swish, swish, swish...*

Suddenly, another gate was destroyed, being split into countless pieces by a sword attack. It wasn't Diliy there, though. Instead, it was Kruwan, the other Sword Cultivator, also the Sect Master from Trogan Sect. "Hey, it seems like I'm not too late."

Zana and the others were surprised by his presence. After all, he wasn't at the palace entrance when the gates opened.

The experts continued to converge. Several gates led to the central area, and everyone who had a Sun Urpin found their way there. Some were injured, others no so much. Eventually, Diliy got there as well, although he had a terrible expression, noticing Kruwan had also arrived.

Meanwhile, the twins continued to use Rean's Light and Divine Sense Bending Skill active and kept their distance. 'Good thing Spiritual Senses are being suppressed a lot in here...' Rean thought for a moment.
