Chapter 1208: Blown Out
Chapter 1208: Blown Out
Time passed in a flash, and only fifteen days remained before the opening of the Demising Catacombs. On this day, Rean had finally finished the triple-layer formation, using the Convergence Crystal’s energy to fuel it up. “Hahaha! Let me see if anyone below the Transition Realm can pass through my formation!”
Rean was very satisfied with his work. Thanks to the concealment formation forming the first layer, the village simply disappeared when looking at it from outside. The barrier right after that was the second layer, strong enough to stop anyone at the Elemental Transformation Realm and below. In case they found a way through, the slaughtering formation, which was the third layer, could be used to deal with them. After all, if they were trying to break the village’s barrier, wanting to enter it by force, then they obviously didn’t have very good intentions.
Aien and the Cosgles people couldn’t help but watch as the barrier took form. Naturally, they could see everything as the concealment only worked for those who were outside. Aien felt somewhat emotional once it activated as safety had always been the village’s biggest issue. “Thank you, Rean.”
Rean shook his head in response, telling him, “I’m only protecting my business, that’s all. Hahaha!” Well, no one really believed that.
Rean then took a token from his spatial ring and passed it to Aien. “Take this as well. If everything fails, you can still pull out this trump card.”
“What is this token?” Aien had never seen it before. But then again, the Cosgles people rarely ventured far away from their current environment, so it made sense.
“This is the Kamos Kingdom’s Royal Token,” Rean explained. “With it, you can call up the name of the Royal Family to scare any intruders. If they don’t know better, they definitely won’t try anything.” That was Fabio’s token. Since Rean was already in the Sacred Land, that token lost its value. However, it was the complete opposite for the Cosgles Race’s village.
“This…” Aien’s hands couldn’t help but tremble as he held that token. He might not know the Sacred Land very well, but he at least knew who ruled the Kamos Kingdom. “This is too much!”
Rean shook his head, clarifying to Aien, “For me, it has no value anymore. Just keep it. As long as you don’t use it for personal gains, no one will try to take it back. I’ll also inform a friend of mine in the Royal Family that you might appear one day, asking for help with my token.”
Aien already understood that when Rean made his mind, he wouldn’t go back anymore. In the end, he sighed and closed his eyes while saying, “Fine…in that case, I’ll keep the next few years of Earth’s Remnants here and give them for free when you come to take it. This is the least we can do.”
Too bad, though…
“Ahem…Elder Aien, Rean isn’t here anymore,” one of the people present at the moment told him. Rean selected a few Cosgles people that seemed to have some talent with formations to teach them how to operate the triple-layer formation. This guy was one of them.
“What?!” Aien opened his eyes, and sure enough, Rean was nowhere to be found. Instead, all he saw was a bag on the ground that emanated a ridiculous amount of Divine Energy. “Rank Two Divine Stones!” There were a hundred there! Also, there was a small written memo.
-I’m busy, so I’m going ahead. I left the payment here for you for the next batch of Earth’s Remnants you collect. See ya!-
Aien looked at the stones and didn’t know what to say. Refusing it now would be meaningless. Who would he return the bag to? The owner already disappeared like smoke, obviously with no intention of getting it back. “Fuck! Alright! Then see how I’ll have our village warriors use these Divine Stones to cultivate like crazy machines. Next time you appear, there will be so many Earth’s Remnants that you won’t be able to fit them all in a single spatial ring!”
For some reason, several warriors in the village felt a chill on their backs that day.
Two days later, Rean was finally back at the Sacred Land. ‘Roan, where are you?’
‘I’m in Kihin’s house, looking after him,’ Roan quickly answered. With the distance between the twins being less than 10000 kilometers, they could talk through their Soul Connection once again.
‘I see. Anyway, I wanted to talk about the Flash Beast.’ Naturally, Rean went straight to the point as he made his way back to his residence. However, just as he was about to continue, he noticed something different in front of his home. “What the hell?!”
Right in front of Rean, there were a sea of people from various races. They seemed to be all waiting for his return.
“Look! It’s Rean!”
“Finally!”
“Where the hell has this guy been until now?!”
“Rean, I need a polearm that can gather Lightning Element without inscription. I already brought 300 Rank Two Divine Stones to buy the Special Edition type.”
“Get the fuck out of the way. I arrived here first, so he’s obviously making my weapon before anyone else’s. Here, I have 300 Rank Two Divine Stones as well. I need armor, not a weapon, though. I brought you the material I want to use as well.”
“Ha! So what if you arrived first?! My young lady needs a new weapon, and your Element Gathering equipment just fits her needs. Her name is Glamiadia Kedaoybe, a direct descendant of Elder Hin. You should know how good it’ll be for yourself if you owe her a favor, right?”
“What? Are we competing on backgrounds now? Shameless!”
Rean felt a headache. After spending this time in the Cosgles Race’s village, he had totally forgotten about his initial reason to go there. It was to get Earth’s Remnants to craft more weapons and make money to use during the Body Cultivation Technique. However, as it stood so far, it had obviously blown out of proportions. ‘What to do now…’
