As Rui traveled through the space with the twins, Roan used their Soul Connection to complain. 'What if that girl had opened her mouth?'
'Don't worry.' Rean didn't seem too worried. 'She'll definitely understand that the Light Elent used for the concealnt ca from . However, she won't cause us any trouble. She'll probably spend a lot more ti thinking about what you said about souls. Anyway, that's about it.'
Roan glanced at him for a mont but didn't say anything else. Just the fact that Rui kept his word and brought them to the Swamp of No Return was already a testant to the Light Devil Clan's trust.
Suddenly, another breach in space opened ahead of them as they stepped out. The twins looked around but couldn't see anything. In front of them was nothing more than an endless patch of black and dark land, which was very common in the Underworld. "Where is the swamp?"
Rui faintly smiled and flew forward. It was then that he stopped and made a motion with his hand. Right in front of the twins, an invisible barrier split apart, causing a huge amount of Dark Elent to blast against their faces.
However, it wasn't just the Dark Elent. Roan could feel that the decaying properties of the Dark Elent were much, much more intense. It was to the point that even so weaker devils wouldn't be able to resist it. Of course, Roan was the epito of Dark Elent, and Rean could use it, so it didn't affect them.
Rui jumped inside the breach, which closed behind it a few seconds later. From the looks of it, it had an auto-recovery feature that repaired any breaches made to it. Rui ignored that, though. "Look, that's what you've been looking for."
In response, Rean and Roan paid attention to the front once again and were finally able to see the swamp. It was obvious that the barrier impeding it from expanding also had so concealnt abilities. This ti, however, what they saw was the swamp that extended as far as their eyes could see.
'How is it, Sister Orb?' Rean asked her straight away. 'Can you feel the fragnt?'
Sister Orb checked as Rean asked. [Not really, unfortunately.]
'Does that an the swamp doesn't have one of the fragnts?' Roan asked back.
[That's not it. I definitely believe what causes the swamp to expand is the power of the fragnt. But because of that, that ans we're probably incredibly far away from it. We're so far that the system can't detect it from this distance. One thing is sure, though. I can feel the power of space acting weirdly in this place. It seems to have been mixed with the Dark Elent and its higher decaying power.]
'Mixed?' Rean was surprised to hear that. 'You an like what experts at the Elental Space Realm can do?' That thought reminded Rean of the first being they t capable of doing it, the Salamander back in the Lost Star Realm. They had t a few others after that too. However, this place was doing the fusion on its own instead of soone doing it with their cultivation.
[More or less. It's just that since a Fragnt of the Universe is involved, it's causing the expansion of this swamp. In other words, you could say that what the fragnt is doing isn't exactly the sa as those at the Elental Space Realm and above do. Of course, I might be wrong here. Also... I can feel that there's sothing more, but I can't understand it yet. I'll tell you when I find out.]
'That's enough for a start,' Roan replied.
Rui obviously didn't know that the twins were talking to Sister Orb. Instead, he tried to convince them not to head in. "This is as far as I will carry you. If I go further than this, there's a chance that even I will be lost in this place. It wasn't a joke when I said that even an Elder Devil was lost in this swamp. I recomnd you give up on the idea and co back with instead."
Rean shook his head in response. "It's fine, Senior Rui. This is exactly the place we wanted to co to. There's no better place to test our abilities. If we can't escape in the end, then that's it."
Rui looked at him, not believing his words at all. "You don't really think I buy your 'testing our abilities' bullshit, right? You're definitely here for so other reason."
Rean shrugged his shoulders in response. "That's up for senior Rui to decide, not us. We'll still head inside unless senior decides to stop us here by force."
Rui narrowed his eyes for a mont but shook his head in the end. "I'm not a babysitter. If you want to die, then, by all ans, go ahead. In the end, this paynt of yours cost nothing, and you got the Underworld Relic, so it was worth it." Rui then turned around but stopped a second later. "Here, take this."
It was then that Rean and Roan received a glowing Golden Thoughts Transmission Talisman. Seeing that they caught the talismans, Rui continued. "Tch... in the end, I truly don't like the idea of receiving sothing for such a low price. In the future, you can use the talisman to contact the Light Devil Clan. As long as your request isn't anything absurd, I'll have the clan help you with it."
With that, Rean and Roan imdiately sent the talismans into the Soul Gem Dinsional Realm. As long as the talisman was there, it couldn't be used for tracking. Just to be on the safe side.
Lastly, Rui explained sothing else. "As for how you can co out, just walk through the barrier. It was made to stop the swamp's expansion, but it won't stop you from coming out."
With that, Rui moved in the barrier's direction and passed right through it. The wall truly did nothing to him.
Rean smiled and looked back in the swamp's direction. "Well then, shall we go?"
Roan nodded in agreent. "It was about ti already."
*Vup, vup...*
And just like that, the twins dashed into the Swamp of No Return.
