Death… And Me-Novel

Chapter 1569 Bad Mood

"Should we make our escape straight away? Rean, can you make another teleport formation chamber to hold it inside the lake?" As mentioned before, the lake got rid of all Divine Energy. With that, Rean needed to separate the lake water from the teleport formation.

"Hum... our Nascent Souls will be back in a little more than a week. I guess we can ask Havek's help on that. The chamber doesn't need to be anything of high quality. Only heavy enough to go down the lake while keeping the inside dry." That's the only thing Rean could think of at the moment.

With that resolved, Rean's group left the purging organization's tower and went straight to Havek's sect.

"Oh! So that's how it works! Shit! Why didn't I think about that before?" Havek obviously understood how Rean's plan worked. "Well, that's also good. I can keep my word with the people of this sect and escape as well. Alright, since your Nascent Souls should be back in a little over a week, I will get the chambers ready in at most four days."

"Chambers?" Roan was confused. "We just need a single one. From what we found out, the 27th lake is the one connected to the area closest to the Xinfia Continent." Xinfia Continent was the next one in the twins' path to reach Jhiod.

Havek then said in response, "What? Are you saying you won't let the people and demon beasts here escape as well? Hehe! There's no way you would do such a thing. Since that's the case, I might as well prepare 33 chambers for all 33 lakes."

Rean was happy to hear that. "As expected of Havek. You really know what I'm thinking. To be honest, I was only going to leave the blueprints of the formation and tell everyone about the spatial gaps in the lakes. However, your method also works."

Havek agreed with Rean. "Of course, I won't be here to see everyone using the teleport formations in the lakes. I intend to do the same thing as you and leave the blueprints for everyone to see. After all, it would be bad if the powers decided all of a sudden to keep the methods for themselves or something like that. In any case, I will leave right now and get started. How about you two?"

Rean, Roan, Kentucky, and Celis nodded in response. "We're heading back to the purging organization. Just like before, they sent a few elders to follow us from the shadows to keep us safe. It'll be too suspicious if we stay here for too long even though we said we know you from back outside."

"Suit yourself." Havek didn't mind. "Come back four days later. I'll have all my people and demon beasts set up the chambers in the lakes. Fortunately, all lakes are free for everyone to do whatever they want, so it won't be hard to set them up."

Roan seemed a little impatient, though. "Just get it over with so that I can get out of this place."

Rean and the others didn't pay much attention to it as Roan was always like that. With that said, Rean's group returned to the Purging Organization. As mentioned before, there was still a lot of work to do after the events with the being inside the altar. Or, to be more specific, the devil's soul from the underworld. The twins could only put their bodies to work and help as they could.

As the days passed, Rean noticed something different, though. It was about Roan. Although there was a lot of work, it wasn't anything like the training Roan had them take part in. However, Rean felt like Roan was acting even colder than normal.

In the end, he couldn't help but ask the others in secret. 'Hey, don't you think Roan seems to be in a bad mood?'

Celis and Kentucky were taken aback to hear that. 'Has there ever been a time when Roan wasn't in a bad mood?' Sure enough, Roan seemed angry 24/7 in their eyes.

Rean narrowed his eyes in response, saying, 'Well, he's indeed in a bad mood all the time. However, it seems like it's even worse now.'

Kentucky didn't think so. 'Are you sure? Ever since we got out of the Dimensional Realm for the upgrade, he didn't ask us to train at all, no? We just did the work of the purging organization and nothing else. If this is what you call a worse mood, then I hope he continues to be like that forever. Hahahaha!'

Celis also trained with Roan now and then, so he had to admit Kentucky was right. 'Now that you say that, he didn't ask to spar with me since then.'

'Leaving aside Kentucky's thoughts about it, the fact that he isn't asking us to train is suspicious. Doesn't matter how much work we have. He would never let a day of training go by,' Rean mentioned.

Kentucky then turned around and decided to go back to his own work. After the last few days, Kentucky could already fly again and was almost fully recovered. Because of how long he was kept as a statue, he wanted nothing more than to move his body... as long as it wasn't Roan's training. 'I'll go and do my chores for the organization. I like the guy like this, so I won't intervene. By the way, tomorrow will be the fourth day after we asked Havek. Don't forget.' ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ɴovelꜰɪre.ɴet

Celis sighed after that. 'Well, if he isn't saying anything, then I won't ask either. For me, other than the training part, he seems to be the same as always.' After that, Celis also returned to his own things.

Rean couldn't get what was happening. In the end, he thought he might be overthinking things. 'Who knows? Maybe he simply feels too tired.'

Eventually, four days went by, so Rean's group left the purging organization once again. This time, Rean would need to spend a few days with Havek to build the teleport formations in the chambers.
