Death... and me



"Ahem..." Suddenly, Sesame appeared near Roan. 'This has nothing to do with us. Just ask about the Teleport Formations and the requirements to use them,' he said through a Divine Sense Message. 'I will leave as soon as you finish with him, so you shouldn't mess with something like that.'

Roan glanced at Sesame and nodded. 'Fine.' 

Right after, he looked back at Abdiel. "Anyway, I am not going to ask about what this Soul Restriction is protecting in your head. What I want to know is how I can use the Teleport Formation inside the Gufelin Canyon."

Abdiel narrowed his eyes in response. Indeed, the Teleport Formation wasn't something blocked by the Soul Restriction in his mind. However, it is not like he wanted to talk about it. "Hmph! It's all the same. I won't say a single word. Just kill me already."

Roan shook his head. "No can do. You still have a lot of uses for us. Now then, let's make you a little more willing to talk." Knowing that Abdiel wouldn't talk that easily, Roan didn't waste time and grabbed the Angel's shoulder. Following that, his extremely pure Dark Element began to sip inside him.

Abdiel immediately felt that. However, he didn't seem worried. "Your poor Devil Souls think that just because our races have Light Element Affinity, we are weak against Dark Element. I'm sorry to inform you that both our races are similar in this regard. It means that your Dark Element will not be able to surpass my own natural defense against this eleme-"

*Arrrrrghh!*

Too bad Abdiel didn't have the chance to talk for much longer. He really underestimated Roan's Dark Element. There is only one living being that can match Roan's Dark Element Purity with Light Element, and that is Rean. As long as his cultivation is at the same level or above the target, he can definitely pierce through their defenses and make them feel a world of pain.

"Hum? Were you saying something? Sorry, but the only thing I can understand is information related to the Teleport Formation in the Canyon. Other than that, everything else just gets into one of my ears and leaves through the other." Roan said that with a happy expression.

Abdiel had never felt so much pain before. Not only was his body naturally Light Element not able to hold Roan's attack back, but it was also completely useless to reduce the effects. Abdiel felt like his Light Element was instead helping Roan to increase the pain in his body.

Rean sighed when he saw that, but he didn't stop Roan. 'Poor guy. Roan has lived with me ever since we were born. Thanks to the system, we can achieve a balance between Dark and Light Elements. Using Light Element against his Dark Element is nothing but suicide.' That also explained why Rean's Light Element was so much more effective against the Devils.

"I talk! I talk!" Abdiel didn't last long against that excruciating pain. He felt it even stronger than anyone of Roan's previous prisoners just because of the race he came from. 

Roan nodded as he removed his hand from Abdiel's shoulder. "That's more like it. So, what about the Teleport Formation in the Canyon? What do we need if we decide to use it."

Abdiel was sweating cold, trying to organize his thoughts after the torture. "Y-You can only use it if you are part of the Angel Races. You Devils will not be able to activate it. The formation blocks any source of Dark Element present, including Dark Element present in a pocket Dimensional Realm."

Sister Orb immediately tranquilized the twins. [Don't worry. No formation will be able to see through the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.]

Roan already imagined that and continued. "That's our problem to resolve. What else do we need if we want to use it? Also, tell me if Angels can go back to the Realm of Gods through the Temporal Path."

Abdiel quickly nodded. He then pulled a badge attached to a necklace and passed it to Roan. "You can use one of the commanding badges to gain access to it. Here, take mine. However, I warned you. Devils will not be able to pass through this formation. It's Devil-proof. You will only bring yourself to your death if you step on it."

Roan could tell through the Angel's expression that he wasn't lying. It was a lot easier to judge when the other side wasn't a hexagonal talking cube. "Good! And what about the Temporal Path."

Abdiel dropped his head, afraid of saying anything. "I-I can't help you with that. I don't have the authority to use the Temporal Path on my own."

Roan wasn't surprised by that. An Initial Stage Space Bending Realm Angel is far from being considered important in the great scheme of things. Roan would find it a lot more suspicious if Abdiel told him he knew how to use it instead.

Following his questions, he looked at Rean in the distance and asked through their Soul Connection. 'So, how is the analysis of this guy's body?'

Rean nodded. 'I'll need to put him to sleep so he won't subconsciously block my work. However, from what I've seen so far, it shouldn't be hard to change our body structures to make us look like real angels. Don't put him to sleep now, though. I'm checking his Light Element wave length while awake and formulating a way to copy it later.'

Roan didn't mind. 'That's up to you. Since you will need a few hours, I'll take this chance to ask more about the part that interests me.'

"Alright, what's your name?"

"A-Abdiel..." The Angel answered truthfully.

"Okay, Abdiel. I want you to tell me more about the information that this Soul Restriction of yours is protecting." Finally, Roan entered this topic.

Sesame narrowed his eyes but didn't say anything. Roan had already got the most important information about the teleport formation, after all. 'Don't say I didn't warn you later.'
