*Vup! Vup!*
Suddenly, the Silver Lights flashed above a Teleport Formation, revealing two figures from within. One of them was obviously Rean, who just arrived at Lisfialia's destination, intending to go to Arcadia. However, as soon as he looked around, he noticed that he couldn't see anything. The surroundings were completely dark.
"Hum? What is happening here?" Rean spread his Divine Sense, trying to see if he could find an answer. However, his Divine Sense Bending Skill, which he kept at a low output, immediately detects another Divine Sense hitting him. 'Space-Time! Also...'
That wasn't all. Lisfialia, who arrived with him, immediately attacked him from behind.
'Life Style, Enhancement!'
'Desth Style, Shadow Steps!'
*Zush! Clang!*
Some kind of needle pierced through Rean's head, passing through it and hitting a wall further back. That wasn't Rean, though. It was just an afterimage created by his fast movement.
'Life Style, Flash!'
A ball of White Light appeared above Rean's head, immediately exploding with Light Element. The next second, the entire room was illuminated. Lisfialia took a few steps back, but she was not affected by the sudden burst of light at all.
'Seems like I wasn't the only one suppressing my cultivation,' Rean thought for a moment. When she attacked him, her speed far surpassed anything a Transition Realm Cultivator could do. If not because he learned to be always on guard with Roan, perhaps his head would have a deep hole in it now.
[Rean, there is a Divine High-Level Formation in this room activated. It's a barrier type, so you will have a hard time breaking it through sheer force. I can hack it, but I will probably need an hour at least.] Sister Orb warned Rean from inside the Dimensional Realm.
'Can we teleport away with the Circuitry Teleport Formation?' Rean asked to be sure, although he was already expecting the next answer.
[No, this formation is messing with the fabric of space around us. If we try to teleport, chances are we will fall into the Spatial Storms. Even if we don't, there is no way to tell where in the Universe we will appear once we come out. It's too dangerous.]
Roan, too, was observing the developments from within the Dimensional Realm. However, he did not come out to help Rean straight away as he was sharing memories with Rean at the moment. 'A Space-Time Realm Divine Sense. It is not that female Angel, though.' Roan intended to use the element of surprise to attack the enemy as soon as he attacked Rean.
Rean then took a deep breath before talking to Lisfialia. "Friend, or maybe not... How did I offend you? I thought we had an agreement. Good job hiding your cultivation, by the way."
Lisfialia smiled in response. "You aren't the only one surprised here. I thought I would have killed you with that attack. Never did I expect you to dodge that attack. That speed definitely wasn't something a Transition Realm Angel could do."
"I can say the same for you," Rean answered with the same words. "So, what is it? Are you trying to rob me of my Heavenly Stones? I find it hard to believe since they are inside my Pocket Dimensional Realm. You are definitely above the Void Tempering Realm, so you should know you won't get access to it by killing me. That means your objective was to kill me from the get-go. Could it be you know something about me?"
*Clap, clap, clap, clap...*ραпdαs `n?ν?| сom
"Oh-ho... quite smart, aren't you?" It was then that a voice came from behind the corner. Rean's Light Element was still spread around the room, so it was clear to see. An Angel with five pairs of wings came walking from there, clapping his hand in compliment.
Obviously, Rean wasn't surprised since he felt that guy's Divine Sense. "And here I thought you were waiting to attack me by surprise."
The Angel shook his head. "Why would I do that? If I had moved, you would be dead already. That won't help me at all. Sure, you are quite strong with your late Stage Space Bending Realm. But you are just no match to me."
He then seemed to look through Rean before asking. "What about that friend of yours? Won't he come out already? You can't deceive me with that stench of Dark Element."
Roan narrowed his eyes before he looked at Sister Orb.
[Hey, don't look at me. The system is 100% secure. There is no way that guy can feel the presence of anyone inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. He must be bluffing.] Sister Orb immediately defended herself.
However, Roan had another idea. 'He isn't bluffing. He just knows exactly who he is talking to.'
*Vup!*
Immediately, Roan appeared outside, showing himself on Rean's side. "So, what is this about? Are you here because we invaded the Heavens?"
The Angel nodded. "That too. But that's not all." He analyzed the twins from top to bottom. "Say, you guys are neither Angels nor Devils, right? Could it be... Realm of Gods?"
Rean and Roan looked at each other before looking back at the guy. "So what? Can't you tell what you want from us already?"
At the same time, the twins talked to Sister Orb. 'Keep trying, Sister Orb. We will try to win you the time to hack into the formation.'
[I'm on it! But this is a Divine High-Level Formation. If it was one level lower, a few minutes would have been enough.]
"First, let me introduce myself. I'm Spiegel, obviously, an Angel at the Space-Time Realm. As for why I'm after you, that's because I need your help with something quite important," he explained.
"We are-" The twins were about to introduce themselves too.
Yet, Spiegel stopped them. "Rean and Roan, I know."
This time, the twins were truly shocked by his words. They were about to simply tell some random names while keeping their appearances changed. Never had they expected this Angel to know their real identities. "That's interesting..."
