Chapter 1667 I need something from you
Habac obviously recognized Kentucky and Celis. They had seen Rean and Roan with those two before back in the entrance hall where the spatial gates were located. "This... what's happening here?"
Min, on the other hand, more or less understood what Rean was trying to do. After all, they had talked about Blansin a lot before entering this test. "Are you trying to leave Blansin alone with Erla?"
Rean nodded in response. "That's correct. You think he has some ulterior motive, don't you? What better way of checking things out other than letting them think they were stranded from us due to some 'unfortunate' circumstances? Hahaha!"
Min didn't look happy, though. "But what if he tries something against Erla?!"
"Don't worry," Rean didn't seem worried. "He will first find somewhere to rest since they had to run a lot to get rid of the demon beasts behind them. The Enhancement skill I used on them didn't have a lot of Light Element, so they should have run out of it by now. That means they're back to their normal states plus the strain of the recent escape. Let's not forget that this realm also has a lot of obstacles that they don't want to run into."
Habac was still confused. "Just what are you two talking about?"
Rean looked at him before giving Habac a summary of what he and Min had discussed. Only then did he understand Min's concerns. "So that's how it is. You could have told me beforehand, you know? These friends of yours scared my soul out of my body."
Min was about to leave in Erla's direction when Rean stopped him. "Calm down, Romeo. Your Juliet won't go that far."
"R-Romeo? Ju...liet? Who are those?" Naturally, Min and Habac had no idea what Rean was talking about.
Rean could only sigh after that. "It's quite saddening that you can't understand. Anyways, we're going after them."
*Rumble...*
Suddenly, the rest of the demon beasts returned to Kentucky and Celis's sides. Obviously, they were puzzled to see Rean's group there since they were pursuing them at first.
Kentucky then explained, "Don't worry. They're with me."
Following that, Kentucky used Rean's healing and Enhancement skills to ease the burden on the demon beasts' bodies.
Rean was satisfied with that as he pushed Habac to Kentucky's side. "Kentucky, Celis, take care of this guy, will you? I'll go after Erla and Blansin. Flying with two extra bodies in this kind of gravity is a burden even for me."
Habac was taken aback to hear that. However, he knew that Rean wasn't kidding about the gravity. It's just that he would have to stay in the middle of a bunch of demon beasts. Not to mention that he could see it. The demon beasts here were all sentient. None of them seem to like the idea of having him in their midst. "Errrr... can I not?"
Kentucky then patted Habac's head with his huge wing. "Hahaha! Don't worry, don't worry. These are my friends. Here, let me introduce them to you."
Kentucky then brought Habac to the Twin-tailed Crimson Tiger in his group. "This is Gunter. He likes the taste of the flesh of humanoid races, so don't bother him too much, okay? Other than that, he's a very nice guy, very dependable actually. If you get in danger, ask him for help. Next, we have..."
Ignoring Habac's bitter expression, Rean grabbed Min's body with his Divine Energy before taking flight once again.
Seeing Habac being left behind, Min couldn't help but ask, "Will he be fine?"
"Oh, that?" Rean knew what Min was talking about. "Don't worry. Kentucky is just messing with him. Leaving that aside, we can now follow Erla and Blansin from above. If it's only you, I can keep flying without spending too much Divine Energy."
Min simply couldn't measure Rean's true power. All he knew was that even Blansin wouldn't be able to do as much as scratch him. In any case, it was a very good thing for him and his wife.
Around two hours later, Erla and Blansin finally stopped in a concealed corner to recover their Divine Energy, especially since Rean's Light Element had run out by now.
Erla then began to focus on healing some injuries on her body. "Phew... not only have we had to escape those demon beasts, but we were also almost killed by the other trap of this Pressure Realm."
Blansin nodded in response. He wasn't looking any better than Erla. In fact, he had to jump out to help her once and was caught in a very shitty situation. "Fortunately, another group also came by, and the trap had to divide its focus between them and us. Otherwise, we might have really died there."
Now that Erla finally had some time to rest, she took the opportunity to ask Blansin something else. "Blansin, why did you come to this place? We both know the importance you have in your Silver Horn Sturgeon Race. You're different from me, who has no use whether I'm there or not. If you end up joining the Jhiod Sect, you will also be cutting ties with your race." Sure enough, Erla had also thought about this topic. It's just that she didn't want to bring it up before.
Little did the two of them know, but around a kilometer high up in the skies, Reana and Min were observing them as well. Rean was obviously using his Divine Sense bending skill as well as bending the light to make themselves invisible. He could get much closer if he wanted to, but he preferred not to risk it as he didn't know if Erla or Blansin had detection methods up their sleeves.
'I told you, didn't I?' Rean asked Min. 'Erla had probably noticed something as well.'
Min nodded. 'Let's hear what he has to say.'
Blansin then explained, "I have no intention of cutting ties with my race."
Erla was confused by that answer. "Then why would you take this test?"
Blansin then double-checked his surroundings with his Divine Sense, making sure no one was nearby. "Because I need something from you."
