Death… And Me

Chapter 2001 Preparing The Trap

There was one thing Rean and Roan didnʼt forget from the previous time they were in the Path of Reincarnationʼs periphery. That was the fact they couldnʼt attack others with the intention of causing damage due to the laws of this place. After all, their cultivation was too low for it. However, they could fight with Soul Guiding Power for dead souls, with the stronger one getting the souls.

”Since we can do that, why donʼt we just stay here near the entrance to the Path of Reincarnationʼs gate and wait for the other devils to bring the souls to us?” Rean asked Titia back.

Titia was taken aback when she heard that. She couldnʼt understand what the twins were up to. ”Steal the dead souls the other participants bring? Thatʼs impossible! The souls they bring here to be released are locked inside their bracelets. Even if your Soul Guiding Power is stronger, you canʼt force them out of their bracelets.”

Rean nodded in agreement. ”Yeah, it is impossible.”

”Eh?” Titia didnʼt know what to say anymore. ”Then, what are you trying to do?”

Rean smiled in response before saying, ”Just wait here and see. Hmm... we might as well sit and cultivate a little. It should take some time before the first guy appears to deliver his souls. Oh, right. Titia, come closer to Doan and me. We need the help of your Light Devil Clanʼs Light Element.”

Titia still didnʼt like the twins, though she didnʼt know they were twins, only brothers. In any case, she had always kept some distance away from the two. ”Why?”

Rean then brought out a white medallion with several inscriptions on it as he sat next to Roan. ”Send your Light Element inside this thing. You need to touch it, though.”

Titia narrowed her eyes while looking at Rean and Roan, who sat next to the boundary between the Path of Reincarnationʼs gate and the surrounding area. Could it be they were planning to throw her inside? If any devil went past that point, they wouldnʼt be able to come back. Their souls would be forcefully extracted and converted into Soul Energy, later becoming a new soul. Rean and Roan saw it happen back when they were sent into the Path of Reincarnation. The system, obviously, was what prevented that conversion from happening and preserved their memories and souls.

”Stop wasting time and come closer already. If we wanted to do something to you, we wouldnʼt need to wait until now.” Roan wasnʼt in the mood to wait for Titia to decide, though.

Titia gritted her teeth and did as Rean asked. In the end, she was ordered by Rui to help the twins as much as she could since Rui knew what they were capable of. For the Light Devil Clan as a whole, nothing was more important than winning this last contest and acquiring the Underworld Relic for the next thousand years. Especially since the war was about to happen during that time.

Back in the city, the High and Elder Devils were watching their participants as well as the others. Naturally, this contest wasnʼt just used for the Underworld Relic. Many other things for lower powers could be decided with it, so they made good use of this chance.

It went without saying that the Elder Devilsʼ participants were the ones who got most of the attention. That being said, there wasnʼt a single second where these ones didnʼt have several eyes over them.

The moment Rean brought out that medallion, many of the devils watching the show noticed it. They also heard how Rean... or Gean... needed the help of Titiaʼs Light Element. That made many of them look at Rui, who kept a stern expression. Poor Rui felt wronged at that point. Even he didnʼt know what that medallion was about. Not that he would show it on his face, of course.

She then took a deep breath and used her power as a Light Devil to gather the little Light Element available in the environment. With that, the Light Element quickly entered the medallion, making it shine with white light for a moment. In the next second, the light around the three of them bent around, causing the group to completely disappear from plain sight!

Many eyes looked at it in surprise. If they didnʼt have the formation to track every single participant, even the High and Elder Devils would have said that the twinsʼ group had disappeared. Of course, they knew they were still there thanks to the formation, but no other devil in the Path of Reincarnationʼs periphery would be able to tell that.

Mephisto couldnʼt help but ask Rui at that point. ”What are your devils planning to do?”

Rui bitterly smiled in response. He knew that everyone thought it was some plan he had come up with. Too bad he had no idea what the twins were planning to do. ”Ahem... just wait and see.”

Titia was just as surprised back there. She could tell that she was inside some kind of skill that made her invisible to the naked eye. ”This medallion... where did you get such a thing?”

Rean laughed in response. ”Hahaha! It was quite expensive, if I do say so myself.”

Lie! Rean didnʼt pay a single cent for that thing. In fact, the medallion was completely useless! The inscriptions over it served no purpose whatsoever! Rean was basically using it as an excuse to activate his Light and Divine Sense bending skill. After all, he was supposed to be a normal devil. How could he use Light Element? That way, he could pretend that the one using Light Element was Titia, not him.

Divine Sense was already very limited in the Underworld. With the Divine Sense bending skill, as well as the Light bending skill, Reanʼs group was truly invisible to other participants. The only way someone could find them was if they got close enough to break through the Divine Sense bending skillʼs barrier. Naturally, the twins made sure that wouldnʼt happen.

Around an hour later, the first participant appeared near the Path of Reincarnationʼs gate. It was Casu from the Sin Clan.
