If Beelzebub knew that he would be so close to another fragnt and could do nothing but see it disappear, would he have made the pact? Probably would since the other choice was to stay sealed in the altar. Nonetheless, it definitely feels bitter to do so. With the pact in place, as long as he truly considers it possible, he can't lie or pretend it is not. "Fine! It just ans you will hold onto these things for now. You better not lose them to soone else."
"That's not your problem," Roan couldn't care less about Beelzebub's words. "Just make sure that no one notices you."
"Hmph! As if soone could find here once I'm trying to hide for real." Beelzebub then quickly moved to the area with the formations. Following that, a huge amount of Soul Energy ca out of his body, spreading around the area.
The Soul Energy used was different from the Soul Power everyone uses, like the twins' one, for example. He was truly using the Soul Energy of the Dead Souls. The illusions of the AfterLife Fog Mantra tried to act on Beelzebub's mind. However, how could soone that used Deal Souls as the main source affect a being pretty much made of it? Beelzebub simply ignored it completely.
The Soul Energy of the Dead Souls began to sip into the runes of the illusion formation. The runes of the formation didn't change at all. However, the energy they were made from began to shift towards Beelzebub type. Beelzebub was doing sothing similar to what Sister Orb did. He was not trying to destroy or deactivate the formation but make it his own.
It took only a few minutes before the Soul Energy of Dead Soul completely fell into Beelzebub's control. For the teleport formation inside it, the illusion and source formations didn't stop, so it didn't find anything wrong.
Well, at least Beelzebub thought nothing wrong happened. What he didn't expect was that the mont the shift of Soul Energy type was completed, Belial imdiately felt it all the way back to the Swamp of No Return.
Belial was already at the wall where Sesa once received the twins. Just like the other Elder Devils, he was helping to attack the formation so he could gain access inside. The other Elder Devils knew that Belial wouldn't bring his fragnt with him, so they didn't join forces to attack him as there was no reward.
Besides, if soone really attacked Belial at this mont, the rest might have used the opportunity to get inside the walls and take the treasure before them. They were all being very wary of each other, just like any other cultivator would do.
Suddenly, shook appeared all over Belial's face. "Not good!" He couldn't believe that he had lost contact with his Illusion Formation. Turns out that as an extra asure, he also left a sleeve of his soul in the formation. Once Beelzebub finished transforming the formation, his sleeve of soul was also affected. Belial tore space apart without saying anything, quickly creating a Spatial Gate before getting inside.
The other Elder Devils obviously saw it, but none of them were willing to stop the guy. Since Belial wanted to leave, they more than welcod it. One less Elder Devil to care about.
Back in the Swamp of No Return, Beelzebub didn't have a good expression on his Black Fly-Like face. "Fuck! I knew he had left sothing behind. But the Soul Sleeve was so faint that I didn't detect it in ti." Beelzebub then cald down and imdiately worked on the Teleport Formation. There wasn't much ti before Belial arrived as he knew very well how fast traveling through Spatial Gates was for Elder Devils.
"Did sothing happen?" Roan noticed the change and asked Beelzebub through a Divine Sense ssage.
"Belial is coming here," Beelzebub only said as he continued to work.
Roan obviously understood it wasn't good news. "He went to the Swamp of No Return. Sesa is also in the Divinity Realm, so he isn't much slower than you, Elder Devils. Sesa, how long do you think Belial will take to arrive?" Roan preferred to hear it from Sesa since he didn't trust Beelzebub.
Sesa didn't need to think much to give an answer. "If he cos at full speed, it should take at least 20 to 25 minutes."
Beelzebub also understood this. That's why he hasn't left yet. Besides, he truly believed it would be easier to take the fragnt back from Roan in the future than let Belial take it back now. "Almost there... almost there..."
"It's fine," Roan cald down. "Belial is an Elder Devil. He can't enter the Reincarnation Path, right?"
"Wrong!" Belial imdiately corrects Roan. "Because of his AfterLife Fog Mantra, he can disregard most of the pain of entering this place. Why do you think the other Elder Devils dislike him so much? It's not only the fragnt."
The teleport formation under Beelzebub tried to activate as well. It was also connected to Belial's Sleeve of Soul. However, Beelzebub was able to interject and stop it from working. "Alright, I stopped the formation. Just one more minute, and you can take the fragnt."
However, Roan didn't wait for that. "Sesa, location!"
Sesa nodded and imdiately teleported with Roan into a specific place in the area. With his ability, he could feel its exact location without issues, much to Belial's surprise. 'How did they know it was there?'
Neither Roan nor Sesa explained. Sister then opened a spatial gate connecting the Soul Gem Dinsional Realm and the outside world. Sure enough, the fragnt underground imdiately felt the presence of the other fragnts inside and shot out like a bullet. Since the fragnt in the Dinsional Realm was much bigger, it attracted the fragnt inside instead of being attracted out.
Beelzebub didn't just look at it. He used a part of his soul, just like Belial did with the formation, to attach it to the fragnt. In the future, he could co after it.
'What?!' Unfortunately for him, the mont the fragnt entered the Dinsional Realm, he completely lost contact with the part of his soul. 'How's that possible?!'
