Death... and me

Himisve's muscles bulged as he retaliated against Rean and Roan's.

"AHHH!!!"

*Bam!*

*Crack, crack, crack...*

*Shatter!*

In the end, in a situation where Himisve couldn't use his full power against the twins, his Divine Middle-level sabers broke apart! Himisve could only watch as the twins' weapons were aimed at his vital points. If they hit, he would be dead for sure.

"I'll do the Sect's Oath!"

*Zush, zush!*

The twins' blades stopped just a centimeter away from Himisve's vital points. Following that, the twins pulled their weapons back and spaced themselves from Himisve. "That's something for you to do with Luina."

Himisve bitterly smiled in response. Now that he had said it out loud, he couldn't go back anymore. Then again, it was definitely better than dying there.

What really shocked him was that he didn't expect the twins' strength to be that ridiculously high! He still thought before the clash that his cultivation alone would have been enough to repel the twins. Yet, the twins showed a strength that was at least three stages above their level. No, perhaps it was an entire realm above their current one!

Himisve quickly recovered, though. "You don't need to tell me that."

Luina obviously moved closer with a smug expression on her face. "Hehehe! You truly didn't expect that the ones who would force you to surrender were the Transition Realm guys, right?"

"Shut up, and let's get over with it." Himisve didn't want to talk anymore. Instead, he started the Sect's Oath as the elders of the Jamai Sect watched it from another continent. With that completed, Luina finally relaxed. "Phew... welcome to the group."

Himisve then looked at the twins and then at Kentucky's group. "What's happening here? How do you have this many Transition Realm subordinates?"

Rean came close once again and patted the guy's shoulder, much to Himisve's anger. Well, Rean didn't seem to care. "That's because we created several copies of the anti-suppression badges. Here, take a few." Rean then passed a spatial ring to Himisve, who saw tens of those badges.

"This..." Himisve was obviously finding it hard to believe. "No, wait! What's the point of all of this anyway?! You guys broke the rules! High-level participants can't take part in the wars unless their region reaches a critical point. It won't be long before the Rambram Sect comes after you. In the end, my Oath to you will have no use."

"What are you talking about?" replied a voice coming from everywhere around them. Not long after, space seemed to open by itself as Hilanshi stepped out of there.

"Senior Hilanshi!" Naturally, everyone immediately recognized Hilanshi, who was supposed to oversee the wars that were carried out in Walfure Region.

Luina couldn't help but ask after he appeared. "Why is senior here in this place?"

Hilanshi shrugged his shoulders, replying, "You were the first countries to wage war against each other. Naturally, you were the only ones that required me to take a look. Well, to be honest, there wasn't a need for me to look at all since the results don't matter in this kind of conflict. If anything, I'm quite disappointed that the Nascent Soul Realm armies didn't fight each other. I was eagerly waiting to see what kind of strategies each side was going to pull off."

Himisve immediately pointed at Luina after that. "I only fought because they targeted my army. Otherwise, I would have never done such a thing. They were the ones who broke the rules first!"

Hilanshi looked at Himisve as if he looked at an idiot. "Rules? What rules? The rules only say that you can't use your top Jamai Sect disciples and their two subordinates in a fight against other regions before a critical point has been reached. There are no rules about internal wars in the regions themselves. Everyone can simply do as they see fit. That's why I showed myself to correct your words."

"This..." Himisve was in disbelief. "Isn't this way too convenient?"

Luina patted Himisve's shoulder as well, telling him, "I also didn't notice it at first. In the end, what mattered was what the Rambram Sect Leader said at the conference. If it's not in the rules, then it's not against it. The rules he spoke out about truly didn't mention anything about internal wars. Sorry for using it to lure you out."

Hilanshi then turned around, preparing to leave. "Well, keep entertaining me. I'll be watching the aftereffects." Soon after, space opened again before Hilanshi disappeared inside.

"Aftereffects?" Luina was confused. "What did he mean by that?"

Roan took his communication badge out and called over the defending forces on other sides of the Butiva Country. "The idiots keep falling into the traps. Anyway, it's time to use my army for its real objective."

It turns out that as soon as the war between Butiva and Tramara started, Jaxto Country decided to invade Butiva from the west.

"What?!" Luina and the others were taken aback. "We need to head back quickly!"

Rean shrugged his shoulders, replying, "Go back? Why? Both Tramara and Butiva's main armies are all gathered here. We both brought around half of all our countries' forces, didn't we?"

Roan agreed with Rean. "Tramara and Jaxto share their borders since Jaxto is located at the west of Butiva. Tramara is at the northwest and north. Naturally, they share their northeast and southwest borders."

Roan then looked at Rean after that, asking him, "Is everything ready?"

"But of course!" Rean nodded with a smile. Rean then threw a System Sect Badge to Himisve. "Welcome to the group. This is your communication badge. Use your blood and Divine Sense to bind it to yourself."

As Rean explained how the System Sect badge worked and left Himisve speechless, Roan passed his orders through the communication system. 'All forces in Tramara are to relocate to the location shown on the map.'

Following that, Roan ordered Himisve. "You too. Go back to your army and gather them all in the location shown in your System Sect badge."
