Death... and me

Waremis and Spiegel looked at each other. Rean could tell they were exchanging Divine Sense Messages between themselves and the other elders there. Yet, he didn't wait for them to be over before adding. "Also, to make sure both sides are going to be true to each other, I'll add the pills I mentioned to Waremis and Spiegel."

A few of the angels there didn't understand what Rean was talking about, but how could waremis and Spiegel not? "Kid, don't say anything else. This is a secret." They couldn't let the information about Roan being able to make law pills escape, after all.

"I know," Rean nodded and changed to Divine Sense message. 'I'll be checking on you once in a while to see if both sides are truly allied to each other or not. It is a good thing for me as it will be for you and them. As long as everything goes okay and both sides merge over time, we can continue our trade of law pills. Be it the Shadow Ferals or your Holamenor Clan, I believe both sides have a lot more to gain than having one side betray the other. What do you think? This would also act as a guarantee for your clan as it will for the Shadow Ferals.'

Waremis and Spiegel knew that Roan was a Dark Element Affinity cultivator. Naturally, since he could make Light Element Law Pills, he definitely could make Dark Element ones. It meant the pills were also useful for the Shadow Ferals.

"Give us a moment," Waremis asked and turned to his trusted aids. There, they began a long discussion regarding the plan. They all agreed on one point: they needed the Shadow Ferals Bloodline, and even more, they needed Roan's pills. Thanks to that and Rean's guarantees, they finally reached the final decision.

'Rean,' Waremis started with a Divine Sense Message. 'We can accept this offer. However, we will send one of our representatives to talk directly with the Shadow Ferals. Before we can ascertain their intention face to face, we will not give our approval.'

'That's a good thing,' Rean didn't expect more than that. 'I don't want to waste time, so who is coming to the Azum Dimensional Realm with me? It is better to be someone with enough authority to speak for the Holamenor Clan.'

"I will," Waremis stepped forward, changing back to normal talk.

"Wait!" Spiegel immediately tried to stop him. "Ancestor, we can't allow you to take this risk. You would be entering the Shadow Ferals Territory. What if they change their minds?"

Waremis shook his head in response. "It's okay. Iolanda has Aelrie's memories, so she knows that I'm the perfect candidate for this conversation. It will work as a show of goodwill. Even if they decide to turn against me, the Holamenor Clan will still have you, Spiegel. You can lead everyone if anything happens."

"But..." Spiegel still didn't like the idea.

However, Waremis stopped him. "That's enough. I have made my decision. Besides, even if things go south, I have my methods. I won't be captured that easily."

Spiegel could only accept the decision in the end. "Very well."

The other elders of the Holamenor Clan obviously didn't want it either, but since not even Spiegel could stop Waremis, their words would be meaningless.

After reaching that decision, Waemis called Rean somewhere else, where they changed the topic. "Take it," Waremis then threw a Spatial Ring to Rean.

Rean already guessed what was inside, and cheking it only confirmed his thought. "Oh! So you truly got the Snow Cidrera Herbs! Not only did you find them, you got three batches! This is perfect!"

Waremis nodded. "This is also my way to show to you that I'm serious about this alliance. But you better not go back on your word about the Light Laws Pills. You definitely don't want to take me as an enemy at this moment in time."

Rean nodded. "I know. That would be the same as having all angels against Roan and me. Nonetheless, you should have known by now that we are not that type of humans."

Waremis faintly smiled. "Why do you think I gave you the Spatial Ring so soon? So, how long do you think it would take for Roan to concoct that Light Clearance Pill of his?"

"At the moment, Roan is working on a new type of Law Pill that we need for a friend. If everything goes as expected, he should be finishing his research in eight months to a year," Rean explained. Roan said that he would need a year, and a few months have passed already. However, research is not something you can be certain about. Roan might even fail altogether. That's why Rean decided to mention one extra year, just in case.

Waremis was quite surprised, though. Even if it took a decade, it would have been quite fast already. "I see... One year is nothing in the eyes of a cultivator, so we can wait that little."

"Well then, we don't really need to waste time here, right?" Rean asked, preparing to leave. "Let's go straight to the Azum Dimensional Realm and get everything over with."

"There is no need for you to go," Waremis shook his head. "I can have a discussion with the Shadow Ferals on my own. It would be better if you returned to the Realm of Gods and passed Roan these herbs."

Rean refused the idea. "Normally, it would be okay. However, I have an agreement with the entity of the Azum Dimensional Realm. I need to hear his answer regarding it."

"A deal with him?" Waremis narrowed his eyes.

"Don't worry," said Rean. "This is something between him and me. You just go and have your discussion with the Shadow Ferals. Besides, I'm not leaving the Azum Dimensional Realm. I will be staying to wait for Roan. Don't ask why. I have my reasons."

Waremis obviously wanted to know these reasons, but decided to not pry any further. "Very well. But what about the herbs I passed you."

Rean smiled in response. "That's not an issue. Once Roan is done in the Realm of Gods, he will come to the Heavens himself. I just ask senior Waremis to arrange someone to receive him when the time comes."

Waremis nodded. "That's not a problem."

Finally, the two of them left the Holamenor Clan, going back to the Azum Dimensional Realm.
