Well, there wasn't much of a reason for him to worry as the twins didn't intend to go back on the terms of the contract to start with. In other words, it didn't matter whether the contract worked on them or not. Moving that aside, during the next week or so, they avoided all the ancient formations while collecting fragnts. Ancient beasts were no issue either, thanks to Sally.
Eventually, they arrived at the Dragon Beast Pool. It was just as Opacli had ntioned to them. It was very easy to find as it was very eye-catching. Soti later, after they arrived, an opening appeared on the pool, from which another Guardian Dragon appeared. He was basically a copy of the previous two, except for the golden hue above his white scales. "So the four of you already got second stage marks. According to the rules, you are eligible to receive the third stage and form the complete Dragon Mark."
The small white dragon then looked at Sally for a mont but didn't say anything. It seed that he had already heard about what happened between Sally and the twins' group. The small white dragon then pointed his claws at Rean, Roan, Kentucky, and Hurio before a ray of golden light ca out of them. That ray hit their foreheads before the Dragon Mark on their foreheads grew a head and a tail. "With this, my part is over. Until the next selection."
The small white dragon didn't want to talk at all as he quickly dove into the Light Elent Pool. As for the Dragon Marks on the twins' group foreheads, the color of the various parts making up the mark didn't stay the sa. Instead, the ice-blue wings and the crimson red body changed color to be the sa as the tail and head. It had completely beco white as snow.
Seeing that, Rean shrugged his shoulders, telling the others, "Well, let's continue our search for Fallen Light Star Fragnts. We already know everything we need about this selection part, so there's no need to care too much about the guardian dragon."
Sure enough, they imdiately departed after that. It was just a little sad for the Dragon Tail Brotherhood, as another group ca to this sa Dragon Pool a day later but only got one of their Dragon Marks completed. As it was the only remaining one in the pool since each guardian dragon could only give five, they had to go to another Dragon Pool.
Of course, many cultivators from the top ten powers ended up heading to other Beast Pools that they initially didn't have anything to do with. Those were the cultivators who lost their Beast Marks for whatever reason and decided to steal the marks from those who succeeded. Celso's group was one of them. Celso did have his own Dragon Mark, but two of his companions had the Monkey Mark and the Snake Mark, respectively, which they actually stole from others.
In the anti, Rean's group had gotten quite lucky. They found even more Fallen Light Star Fragnts along their way to the altar at the center of the third level. In fact, most of them couldn't even be said to be hidden at all, showing how little people cared about them. However, two days prior to their arrival at the altar, they could not help but involve themselves in a surprising event.
Kentucky was flying up high in the sky above the ruins, watching to see if there were no enemies near them when he noticed sothing. "Hmm...?" He looked up at the sky and could see with his better eyesight that a new star seed to have appeared in the sky. One must rember that inside the Lost Star Realm, it was possible to see the stars above the Realm of Gods, which wasn't possible outside.
At first, he thought it was just his imagination. However, that star seed to increase in size the more ti passed. Eventually, he was certain that he wasn't wrong and imdiately called Rean's group below. "Rean, Roan, look up."
Rean and Hurio looked at the sky and didn't understand what Kentucky ant. They were 10 kiloters apart as always, so they first got close to each other before asking, "What are you talking about, Kentucky?"
Kentucky quickly landed on the ground and used his wing to point in the direction of the right star. "That star over there seems to be getting closer to the Lost Star Realm."
Rean and the others narrowed their eyes after hearing that, but they couldn't see any difference. Then again, if Kentucky said so, he should be right. "Isn't that bad? If it's heading in the direction of the Lost Star Realm, then it's not a star but a teor instead. Depending on its size, it might kill everyone here."
Hurio shook his head in response, saying, "I don't think such a thing would happen. The Lost Star Realm has been here for so long already. If that's the case, how co we didn't see any crater?"
Rean had to admit Hurio was right, shrugging his shoulders in response. "Then, should we follow it to see where it will fall?"
Kentucky looked up again and pondered in silence for a bit before saying. "I can tell more or less where it's going to fall. However, do you really want to get close to it or wait until it lands first?"
Roan imdiately decided for them. "Let's go where it'll land. It's just as Hurio ntioned. There has to be sothing to prevent such a thing from causing a lot of damage. Who knows? Perhaps the Fallen Light Star Fragnts we're picking up originate from these teors."
Rean then looked at Sally, who surprisingly wasn't sleeping at the mont. Since she was awake, he decided to ask, "Sally, is that okay to get close to that thing?"
Sally looked at the sky after that and nodded in response. "If... danger... I... flee... with... everyone..." As always, she wasn't very good at using words. Yet, the twins' group understood that she could flee with them if necessary. With her control over spatial powers, it shouldn't be an issue.
With that, everyone hopped on Kentucky's back as the Minokawa flew in the direction of the teor... or whatever it was.
