Death... and me

The demon hysterically laughed while walking in their direction as if nothing was happening. "Hahaha! Using my spatial power was something that placed a burden way too heavy on this frail body of mine. However, there's no way to recover anymore without the World Beast Formation, so who cares? I told you! Since I'm going down, all of you will go down with me."

Rean's group couldn't understand why the demon was dying, and it didn't matter at the moment. All they wanted right now was to leave this place as fast as possible. From the looks of it, as long as they stayed away from the demon, it would die on its own. Unfortunately, the demon's spatial power was just too strong! Not to mention the fact that no one in their group could do the same thing.

Dark energy gathered around the demon's hand. He even used a Stage Nine Demon Beast's soul to fuel it, making sure that his attack would be devastating. On top of that, it looked like the spatial power was even more powerful inside that dark energy. After gathering enough power, he attacked!

"Die!"

'Void Obliteration!'

Rean's group could only watch as the attack came in their direction. All of them couldn't move a single muscle.

It was then that Rean and Roan made a decision.

'Soul Gem System, activate Breaker of Bounds! Free us from that demon's spatial power lock!'

[Analyzing the situation...]

[Simple spatial lockdown discovered!]

[Matching the request level with the system's capability...]

[Request accepted!]

[Breaker of Bounds, number of uses: 01]

[Activating Breaker of Bounds!]

Suddenly, the spatial power holding everyone down disappeared without a trace. No, that's wasn't entirely correct. The spatial lockdown was still there. It's just that its power was completely useless against the twins and their group.

Duran and Frin noticed how the power restricting them disappeared and didn't waste any time. They were already holding everyone with their Spiritual Senses, so they simply stepped forward with all their might as they shot into the distance!

*Boom!*

The demon's attack hit the area that Rean's group was a fraction of a second ago, but he hit nothing more than the air. 'What?!'

[Breaker of Bounds will be active for five minutes.] The system announced in the twins' minds.

As for the demon, it couldn't believe its eyes! 'Impossible! There's no way someone in the Transition Realm or below could get rid of my spatial lock. Their cultivation simply isn't big enough to even feel what this kind of power is!'

However, the fact was that Frin and Duran were running away. The demon tried to use his spatial lock a few more times, but it was as if some kind of barrier protected Rean and Roan's group all the time. It didn't let his spatial energy get close to them at all. 'Hmph! Even if I can't use spatial power on you, let's see if you can run away from me when I'm not holding anything back.'

The demon immediately gave up restraining the twins' group and used spatial power for his own movement.

*Vup!*

With a single step, it looked like the demon walked several hundred meters ahead. That only alarmed Frin and Duran, knowing that they were not a match for the guy in speed.

Frin then gritted his teeth before saying, "Duran, get on my back and hold everyone with your Spiritual Energy. It seems I have no choice but to burn my bloodline." They stayed outside the demon's chamber for over a month. Naturally, that was more than enough for Rean to help Frin recover his Silver Fenrir bloodline.

Duran didn't even need to think twice as he heard that. He immediately jumped on Frin's back and held everyone tight to Frin's body using his Spiritual Energy. Frin then started to burn his bloodline, which increased his power, and especially his speed, by a lot!

"Hahaha! Just delaying the inevitable!" The demon didn't seem too concerned, though. He released even more spatial power, which increased the burden on his body that was already breaking apart. Nonetheless, he didn't care. He knew that it was impossible to save himself without the World Beast Formation's core, so he wanted to get revenge before passing away.

Even with Frin's massive increase in speed, the demon still caught up to them quickly. The only reason the demon was behind was that it took too long for him to react when its spatial lock was brushed off. Otherwise, he would have caught up to Frin and the others already.

Duran then stood up and began to use his own skills against the demon, trying to slow it down.

'Thunderstorm Domain!'

'Wrath of the Twister!'

'Arctic Gale!'

'Chaos Storm!'

One skill after another came from Duran as they all headed for the demon behind. Sure enough, the demon had to use even more energy to move away from the attacks, which increased his problems. Nevertheless, he was still catching up with their group.

The main problem was because they were still underground. One must remember that this area was found inside a cave on the north side of the Blood Lake. Although it was enormous, it wasn't enough to escape flying.

"Frin, as soon as you leave the cave, jump as high as you can," Roan said before he looked at Kentucky and Gulan. "Soon after, we will need you two to fly even higher. This Dimensional Realm doesn't allow people to fly using Spiritual Energy. It obviously applies to the demon as well. Otherwise, he would be following us through that already."

Duran and Frin's eyes lit up after that. Indeed, Roan's words made sense.

"Leave it to us!"

Frin was trying to balance his bloodline usage to the speed the demon was catching them. However, after hearing Roan's words, he gave up conserving it and went all out. One could only see a flash of silver light streaking by as multiple Wind and Lightning skills were left behind by it.

The demon narrowed his eyes in response, exclaiming soon after in seething rage, "You won't escape!"

Another Stage Nine Demon Beast Soul was then consumed, which increased the demon's power and speed even more. However, it also increased the deterioration of his body.

Rean snorted when he saw that, though. 'This isn't our full speed, idiot!' he could not help but think for a moment before he touched Frin's body.

'Life Style, First Form, Enhancement!'
