1966: Why Are They Happy With It?

Why Are They Happy With It?

2The moment the twins set foot in the city, they had Sister Orb look into the formations that they might come to use. That teleport formation wasn't of high level to start with, so it was easy for her to control. Yet...2

[Eh?! The flow of Divine Energy in the formation stopped!] Sister Orb was taken aback as she saw the activation of the formation rapidly slow down. Then again, she forgot to account for one thing. The formations needed Divine Energy to work, and the devils in charge found it much faster to simply cut the source off.

Rean and Roan's expressions darkened in response. That formation wasn't so hungry that it needed Divine Stones. Yet, the devils seemed to have their own protections in place. In the end, they decided to act... or so they intended to.

"Whoopsy..."

It was at that moment that Fleus' feet moved a little, seemingly interacting with the formation itself. The cut-off Divine Energy began to flow again, and the teleport formation quickly activated. In a flash of silver light, everyone above the formation disappeared.

The formation did teleport straight to Triffer City, just as mentioned before. The twins appeared on the other side with everyone else before Fleus moved once again. The formation they used to come to the city was then completely deactivated, much to the devils' surprise back in Fraghal City. The two formations simply couldn't connect anymore, which meant that Elemental Space Realm devil couldn't teleport over either.

The Formation Masters in Triffer city approached the teleport formation with confusion after that. "Hmm? Why did it stop working?" 

Rean was the only one who noticed Fleus' moves, though. He could tell that on both occasions, Fleus had done something to the formations for them to work and stop working. 

Fleus noticed Rean's look of surprise and smiled in response. 'Hehehe! Let's just say I did a few things I shouldn't have. But hey, come on, we're all devils here. A few disagreements here and there are normal, don't you think?'

Roan also heard it through his connection with Rean since Fleus used Divine Sense. Yet, one thing was sure. Fleus was anything but a normal devil.

[This guy was even faster than me. However, I don't think he controlled the formation. It seemed like something else from my point of view.] Sister Orb said.

Rean and Roan were more interested in something else. 'So... it wasn't us that devil was after. It was this guy instead.'

If a tracker or anything like that had been put in the twins' bodies, Sister Orb would definitely have noticed. The twins were in doubt as to how the devil found out about it, but now they knew they had nothing to do with it.

Rean then patted the devil's shoulder, saying, 'Of course, it's normal, very normal. However, this formation won't stay deactivated for much longer. Shouldn't we take our leave now?'

Fleus quickly nodded in agreement, seeing that Rean had understood his intentions. With that, Rean, Roan, Fleus, and Fleus' subordinates walked out of Triffer City's teleport formation building.

'So, what happened back there?' Rean obviously took the chance to ask Fleus about it.

Fleus shook his head in response. He was more worried about something else. 'I would love to talk a little more, but it seems like I have to go now. Perhaps I'll see you in the Underworld. Look, there's the continental barrier connecting to the next continent.'

The twins had obviously noticed it. As mentioned before, the spatial gates could only be found after one traversed the barriers. 

'You want to know how that High Devil found you, right?' Roan knew why Fleus wanted to leave. He wanted to get rid of whatever was used to track him before continuing his journey to the Temporal Path.

Fleus scratched the back of his head in response. 'Pretty much.' Not only he but Orklia and Zektak seemed to be just as preoccupied.

Roan touched Fleus' shoulder soon after. Rean did the same thing, but with Orklia and Zektak instead. 'Just hold still for a moment, you guys. Don't try to block off the flow of Divine Energy.'

Fleus didn't know if he should do that. However, the chances of the twins trying to do something to him in the middle of the city were pretty low. 

'Sister Orb, check their bodies. Can you see something that could be used to track them down?' Rean quickly asked Sister Orb.

[Let me see...] Sister Orb knew that Rean and Roan intended to use Fleus somehow, so she didn't ask anything and started to work straight away. [Found it! There's a small mass of Dark Element that doesn't match the Dark Element coming out of their own bodies. They probably didn't notice it since it's quite well hidden.

Rean was happy to hear that. 'Thanks, Sister Orb. Tell us where they are.'

The twins then told Fleus and the two devils following him about those small masses of Dark Element. Fleus' group looked at each other and quickly used their Divine Senses and Soul Power to focus on the point the twins pointed out. Sure enough, those small masses were there. They just couldn't feel it before because the cultivation of its owner was much higher than their own. It was obviously the Elemental Space Realm devil's way of finding them. 'This...'

They quickly used their own Divine Energy to get rid of the mass of Dark Element. For it to stay hidden, it was also necessary for it to be very weak. So, fortunately, even Orklia and Zektak didn't find it difficult to eliminate them. Then again, the twins could definitely do it for them if they needed it.

Rean nodded, satisfied. 'Good, they're gone. I'll check your humanoids now. They might have the same thing in them.'

Fleus obviously didn't mind it.

*Sigh...*

Yet, Rean found something strange. Right after he told Fleus and his group that the trackers were gone, the humanoids were the ones who seemed relieved. They weren't even supposed to know what happened. 'Hmm? Why would they be happy?' Rean couldn't help but think.
