Death... and me

Roan was right in the end. With Rean and Havek's support formations and the many Transition Realms in the cities defending, the cities were able to stand their ground against the Jamai Sect disciples. Of course, that would only be for a limited amount of time, but that was all the time they needed until Roan's forces arrived.

By the time the disciples attacking Butiva used their Thoughts Transmission Talismans to contact the attacking forces, six of the eight armies and their disciples had been caught by the Butiva Country Alliance! And thanks to Rean and Havek's Thoughts Disrupting Formation, the captured disciples weren't able to warn the others before taking the Oath against their will.

Himisve, Yuxin, Lanteo, Leticia, Bato, Etivinia, etc. Once Roan received information that the two remaining armies began to retreat, he knew that he wouldn't be able to capture the two disciples there. Instead, he quickly focused back on Butiva's country, teleporting back to the nearest still active formation that sent them to the capital. After all, the enemy would need to be incredibly idiotic to not destroy the teleport formations in Casgalas while they attacked it.

However, Roan could only sigh in the end. The four Jamai Sect disciples that attacked Casgalas didn't receive any answer from Yuxin and the other five. They might have fallen for the moving sect trick. Yet, they knew that they would be in a bad position if they didn't leave straight away. "Some of my eyes at the borders already sent me information. The guys who attacked Casgalas and the surrounding cities escaped."

Roan then looked behind him as he faintly smiled, saying, "Well, I got six more of you, so I guess it wasn't a bad harvest."

"Who are you calling a harvest?!" Sure enough, Roan's words enraged the 'new recruits.' Unfortunately, the Oath prevented them from lifting a single finger against Roan if they didn't want to face the consequences back in Jamai Sect.

Roan completely ignored the guy's outburst, though. "The Butiva Country Alliance now has twelve Jamai Sect Disciples. The ones who just joined, I can understand why you feel so unwilling. However, it's all for the sake of conquering the Free Continent. That's all I have to say."

*Vup, vup, vup...*

Suddenly, Rean, Luina, and a few others appeared on the same teleport formation that Roan's group used. "Oh! Look at that! So many Space Bending Realm disciples. Hahahaha! It seems like it won't be long before we put the entire Walfure Region under our control."

Religa, a female demon beast that was in charge of Singa Country to the west of Jaxto, snorted in response. "Hmph! You're such an idiot. Sure, our alliance was caught off guard by your tricks. However, you've only brought even more trouble for yourselves. Now that you have all of us bound by Oaths, the rest of the disciples in the Walfure Region will definitely come after this Butiva Country Alliance. As much as we have to follow the Sect Oath, none of us will die for it."

Luina, Lanteo, and the others agreed with them. "We already told Rean and Roan that. However, they simply said there was no need to worry about it."

Roan confirmed their words. "Indeed. To be honest, I wanted the remaining Jamai Sect disciples in Walfure Region to have joined forces much earlier. That way, we wouldn't need to take care of you all one by one but catch all of them at once. However, they all wanted to first watch how your attacks would end. That's quite boring."

Religa couldn't help but ask in response. "Are you saying you had a way to make everyone surrender and take the Sect Oath with Luina?" She obviously didn't believe that. "Do you think we're idiots?"

Rean shrugged his shoulders. "You have fallen into our traps one after another. I won't say you guys are idiots, but you aren't very bright either."

If looks could kill, Rean would have died hundreds of times over already. Then again, could one really blame them? Where had they ever seen someone move an entire sect away? Even now, they were still oblivious to the reason why their plan failed. It wasn't before Rean explained that they had the power to move their sect around as they wished that everyone finally understood why the attack against Butiva didn't work.

Of course, Rean only told them that because there was no way of hiding it anymore. Once something as big as the System Sect suddenly disappeared and appeared, way too many residents from both Casgalas and Ziomal City would have seen that. Besides, the disciples that came to attack didn't find the sect at all, even though they knew where it was supposed to be.

"You really don't understand, do you?" Roan glanced at Religa as he asked. "You guys are so focused on showing your good side to the Jamai Sect that you fail to see the big picture. Ultimately, you guys forgot the initial reason as to why we came here."

Ramon, another one of the disciples who were forced to surrender in the last attacks, shook his head. "We came here to conquer the Free Continent. Everyone knows that."

Roan nodded. "Exactly. We came here to conquer the other regions and take the Free Continent for our Jamai Sect. There are definitely other regions out there where the participants are not fighting each other at all. Do you think we would be able to win with how much discord we have within the participants of the Jamai Sect?"

Ramon snorted in response. "Hmph! Our Jamai Sect is ranked pretty low compared to the other continents. We didn't have much chance of winning to start with. That's why most of us want to at least appeal to the Jamai Sect since obtaining the continent would be quite unrealistic."

Sure enough, a lot of them nodded. They all knew the difference between them and everyone else. It wasn't everyone, though. Surprisingly, Lanteo disagreed with them. "Appeal to the sect? I want to take the continent. If you have no thoughts of winning, then just follow this guy's orders and shut up."
