It was quite easy to find them. The closer one got to the Path of Reincarnation's entrance, the higher their numbers were. Obviously, there was the problem of other devils working in the area. Most of the devils from the big clans spent most of their ti here, so souls were being fought for all the ti. It's just that the fights for the souls weren't real fights.
Instead, they were soul-guiding fights. The twins saw how the devils below used so kind of power that attracted the souls to them. The devils that succeeded would have the souls absorbed into their bracelets. In the end, the devils with the best soul-guiding powers would get the souls.
Fleus looked for a free soul in the midst of all of that and finally found one. "Here, co with ." He quickly ca down from the skies with Fagund, stopping a few ters away from a soul that had just arrived from the other realms.
However, as soon as he started to use his own soul-guiding power, another devil approached and did the sa thing. The soul began to fly back and forth, not knowing which soul guide to follow. "Hmph! How many tis do you think I've done this?!" The power that was coming from Fleus' body then increased, making the soul completely ignore the other devil. Eventually, Fleus looked at Roan. "Raise your bracelet."
Roan nodded and lifted his bracelet above his head. The soul, being guided by Fleus, then got close to it before Roan's bracelet shone. A gentle red light enveloped the soul, quickly being absorbed by the bracelet.
The other devil that fought Fleus narrowed his eyes but understood that his and Fleus' abilities were too different. He wasn't afraid of being attacked because of that, though. He simply turned around and left as if nothing had happened.
Seeing that, Roan took the chance to ask. "So battles are prohibited in this place?"
Fleus and Fagund nodded in response. "Exactly. Even if you try to break this rule, you won't be able to do so. The laws of the Underworld will bind you since they consider it to be a risk to the Reincarnation Cycle. Everyone here is pretty much safe."
Rean and Roan understood that 'pretty much' didn't an 'completely' safe. However, they simply thought that the risk was due to the Soul Devils that might be born in this place.
Rean, instead, was more interested in what Fleus did. "What was that power coming from your body?"
Fleus smiled and was just about to teach the twins how to do that. Then again, Fleus didn't have the chance to do so. At that mont, Roan had a disgusted expression on his face. Before Fleus could say anything, Roan's hand, the one that had the bracelet, was raised up in the air once again. At the sa ti, Roan's body began to emit the sa soul-guiding power as Fleus.
"This..." Fleus was taken aback. "Is it really your first ti doing this?"
*Huuhuuuuhu...*
*Uooooohhhhh...*
*Auuooohhhhh...*
Yet, little did he expect what happened right after. Everywhere in a radius of almost five hundred ters, the souls began to fly in Roan's direction. They looked more like sharks that slled the scent of blood. Even though they had no sentience, they all looked to be excited.
*Huuhuuuuhu...*
*Uooooohhhhh...*
*Auuooohhhhh...*
"What?!"
"The hell?!"
"Who's that guy?!"
All the devils in that area couldn't do anything. So of them were fighting for the souls, and others were trying to capture souls that no one had claid. Yet, it didn't matter. All the soul-guiding powers in the area beca completely useless as the souls only cared about one being, Roan.
One by one, the souls began to enter Roan's bracelet. There were so many souls that the bracelet simply couldn't take that many at once. That caused the area above Roan's head to beco a cloud of souls, gathering even more attention.
'Hmph! Show off!' Rean couldn't help but complain. How could he not know why Roan was so good with it? Roan was Death, after all.
Hearing that, Roan glanced at him for a mont. He didn't bother to answer Rean's words, though.
Eventually, the area was completely cleaned of souls, leaving only a bunch of annoyed eyes. It went without saying that the other devils in the area didn't like Roan's actions at all. But at the sa ti, they wondered just who he was since none of them had ever seen such a powerful soul-guiding power.
Fleus and Fagund, naturally, were just as shocked. "Is it truly your first ti in the Underworld?"
Roan nodded. "It is."
Well... it was his first ti in this one... at least...
"Let's head sowhere else." Seeing everyone watching them, Fleus decided it was better to move locations for now. He quickly grabbed Fagund and took flight, being followed by Rean, Roan, and the other four Devils, who were there to watch them.
While they flew to another area, Fleus finally asked the question in everyone's heads. "How did you do that? Your soul-guiding power was definitely stronger than mine. I admit that. However, it wasn't supposed to be that effective."
Roan looked back at Fleus with a puzzled expression, telling him, "I'm more curious as to how your thod of guiding souls is incredibly dogshit. The mont you used it, I could tell how terrible it was. The other devils around should just kill themselves as they were even worse. It was embarrassing to just watch you move."
Fleus felt like his heart was stabbed at that mont. "You truly don't know how to hold back your words, do you?"
"The truth is always faster," Roan answered.
However, that only hurt Fleus's feelings even more. "Fuck you! I'm not bad! You're just too fucking good!"
Back in Fekis City, there was another pair of eyes in shock. He then rembered how he gave the groups five days to guide souls. "I just hope Titia, Doohan, and Salahi's confidence don't get permanently destroyed..."
