Death... and me
2480 Aren't You Smart?
Without wasting time, Rean instantly opened a Spatial Gate and threw himself inside. As soon as the Spatial Gate disappeared, a powerful Divine Sense came crashing down in the area Rean had been just a second ago. However, the Spatial Gate was already gone, so the Divine Sense's owner could only curse nonstop.
Far away from that place, another Spatial Gate appeared, and Rean stepped out. However, he didn't stop there and immediately opened another Spatial Gate, teleporting to another region again. He did that another five times until he finally got some confidence that he was far enough.
"What the hell was that?" Rean couldn't help but complain. "There was nothing in my Divine Sense Bending Skill, nor did I notice anyone with my Natural Spatial Perception. Yet, that Killing Intent locked on me as if it knew exactly where I was."
[I'm checking your body here from top to bottom, but I can't see any traces of trackers or anything like that.] Sister Orb felt helpless, too.
Rean then used the communication system to contact Roan a moment later, who immediately replied. 'Sister Orb detection isn't flawless. We failed to notice the angel's tracker back then, and only after Sister Orb was made aware of the technique was she able to detect and get rid of it ahead of time. It might be something similar.'
Rean narrowed his eyes. "The only person I met was the guy I made a deal for the Lehamina Earth Tree Core. Do you think he put the tracker on me?"
'It might be,' Roan nodded. 'Sister Orb, what about the tracker you found inside the Core?'
[Rean told me to destroy it, so I did it. The Core is now just that, a core. Of course, I can't discard the possibility of something still existing inside that I can't detect. The only thing I'm certain is that as long as it is inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, it can't be detected,] she explained.
"This was too weird..." Rean remembered the Killing Intent. "Who would come after me without using Divine Sense? The only thing I noticed was the Killing Intent. It was thanks to that that I knew it was an enemy I couldn't fight against. Probably, it was someone in the Divinity Realm."
'That only leaves that Lahamina Earth Tree in the Divinity Realm the guy talked about,' Roan concluded. 'Other than that, no one should be after you since no one even knows where we are.'
"That explains why I wasn't able to detect the guy before his Killing Intent reached me," Rean said. Natural Spatial Perceptions have different ranges. The higher your cultivation realm, the further it can reach. Since it was probably a Divinity Realm expert who came after Rean, it made sense this expert detected Rean first while Rean couldn't do the same. "The only question is why this guy didn't use Divine Sense. If he did, I would have noticed him way earlier with my Divine Sense Bending Skill."
Roan shook his head. 'That's exactly the point. Do you remember how the experts of the Lahamina Trees appeared in Ransvite? They knew the Core was there, but they couldn't find the culprit. The guy who came after you a moment ago probably considered you might have a way of detecting Divine Senses. I'm sure I would have done exactly what he did, not use Divine Sense.'
Rean sighed. "So? What should we do now?"
'First, you need to keep moving. Since they were waiting near the city, they should be able to look where you are at this moment, too,' Roan suggested. 'However, there seems to be some delay in their detection method. Otherwise, I can't see why the guy would wait until you arrived near the city to make his appearance.'
"A delayed method, uh?" Rean pondered a bit. "Could it be karma?"
'Perhaps,' Roan didn't deny the idea. 'There is also Divination. Although this is even rarer, it would also explain the delay. The Lahamina Earth Trees, if it is truly them, must have a very strong connection with the previous owner of this Core.'
Rean sighed as he looked at the Spatial Ring with the Core inside. "If this thing is this problematic, I might as well throw it away. To be honest, it is a lot more likely that I was found because of this Core than a tracker on myself."
Of course, Rean understood the issue. "I just don't know when I will find another Wood Laws material for you again, Roan."
Roan, on the other hand, was a lot more determined. 'Just throw it away. Between having a Divinity Realm on our tail and spending more time to find other materials, I definitely will choose the latter.'
Rean nodded and didn't hesitate anymore. If that guy appeared agai, he definitely would take that long to move like the last time. Rean also couldn't access the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, so escaping with the Circuitry Teleport Formation was out of the question.
Following that decision, Rean opened another Spatial Gate. However, this time, he didn't enter. Instead, he simply threw the Core inside. He had no idea where the Core would end at, but that wasn't his problem anymore. Right after, he opened a Spatial Gate once again and entered, moving in the direction of another city with a Long-Distance Teleport Formation.
Rean and Roan's swift decision turned out to be the correct one. The Core of the Lahamina Earth Tree ended up falling several continents of distance since no one was controlling the Spatial Gate. A Stage Five Demon Beast ended up swallowing it, not knowing the calamity it would bring to it.
It only took a day for the same powerful Divine Sense to cover the entire area, including that Demon Beast. Right after, that Demon Beast was forcefully teleported high in the skies as its body was shredded apart. Finally, the Core appeared and was grabbed by a Tree-like humanoid figure with a dark expression.
"Hmph! Aren't you smart?" The guy murmured as a trace of a Soul came out of the Core. The Rune Rean destroyed was indeed used to track the Core, but that wasn't the only method left behind. The humanoid figure then put the Core away and opened a Spatial Gate, leaving the area completely.
