Death… And Me-Novel

Chapter 2377 Too Convenient

Indeed, Huban had never said anything about locking Rean, ROan, or Kentucky down. Was there a reason for that?

Huban looked at the twins and the bird... "They are a special case. There is no need for me to be afraid of them talking about my Essence Race City's location to anyone."

Well, that was true. The twins' group doesn't even want to be known, let alone do something that would catch so much attention. Whether Zandolf and Essefy could accept it or not, that wasn't their problem.

Huban then passed an order to Joju and the others. "Bring Zandolf and Essefy to some random residence where they can live for the time being. There isn't really a need to lock them in a prison or anything like that. They will never be able to leave this city with me here."

"Yes, Master Huban!" The three Peak Divinity Realm beings accepted the orders without complaints. 

Essefy quickly turned to the twins's group, asking them out of curiosity. "I heard about you two. However, how did you get to the Peak Stage of the Elemental Space Realm this fast? If you hadn't shown your own identities, I would never believe you were the same Rean, Roan, and Kentucky from the reports."

Rean smiled in response. "Of course, we had plenty of fortuitous encounters. I can't tell you exactly what we got, but it did indeed help with our cultivation speed. Well, if you want help with cultivation, just ask the Essence Race. They will not refuse someone from their own Race like you."

Essefy was shocked when he heard those words. "W-What are you talking about?!"The source of this content ɪs ɴovelꜰɪre.ɴet

Kentucky and Zandolf looked at Essefy with surprise, too. They didn't know that. Roan, on the other hand, took that as if it had nothing to do with him. For Roan, the information about Kafan was a lot more important.

Rean shrugged his shoulders and answered Essefy. "To be honest, I didn't know it until we reached this city. But now that we are here, I'm certain. You are definitely a member of the Essence Race. It's just that you are using a humanoid form. The impressive part is that I didn't know the Essence Race could take a humanoid form."

"But then again, Demon Beasts can do it, so why couldn't the Essence Race? You are even better at that. Demon Beasts can't hide their demonic aura. You, on the other hand, don't show any obvious clue. Even your aura is pretty much the same as other humanoid race beings."

"Hahaha!" Suddenly, Huban laughed from the center of the room. "Little Jigan, he truly got you."

That was obviously Essefy's real name. Jigan sighed, seeing that it would be useless to hide that. Soon, his form began to change. Essence Energy spread around his body as it turned into another colored floating flame. "I've been living outside for this long. How did you find out about me?"

Rean pointed at himself. "I'm kind of a special case. When it comes to Light Element, nothing can beat me. I noticed that the Light Element in your body was different than any other race I've seen so far, but I didn't take it to heart. After all, it is normal for Different Races to interact differently with the Elements around them."

He continued. "Even if you don't have an affinity with a certain element, it is still part of your body, and Light is no different. Believe it or not, even Devils have a certain amount of Light Element in their bodies, although it is ridiculously minuscule. Any more than that, and it would harm them, which is why Light Element is their main weakness."

"Anyway, I didn't pay attention to the Light Element in your body before, but it is different now. Every single Essence Race citizen I saw with my Diivne Sense had the exact same variation of Light Element as you. I believe my brother here probably felt the same regarding the Dark Element in your body, too."

Roan glanced at Essefy and took his eyes away. It was pretty obvious to him as well.

Rean then patted Essefy's shoulders. "Well, your disguise worked in the end. As long as I never saw an Essence Race being, I would never guess you were a member of the Essence Race, either. Too bad we met this many now. Hahaha!"

Rean then remembered something. "Oh, right! You don't need to worry about someone else finding your identity through this method. Although I can't guarantee it, I'm pretty sure there aren't that many out there who can perform the same type of identification as Roan and I did. Just one thing: I'm used to your Essefy name, so I hope you don't mind if I continue using it."

Jigan couldn't care less. "Compared to your previous words, what does a name mean? Jigan, Essefy, I've used both names for many years, so both feel right to me."

Joju didn't seem to care about any of that, so he called Zandolf out. "Zandolf, come with us. We will get someone to arrange a place for you."

Since Essefy was an Essence Race member, there wasn't really a need to pretend to take him away anymore, so Essefy... or Jigan... stayed behind.

As Joju left with Zandolf, Rean took the chance to ask Essefy. "So, Essefy, why did you hide outside? Was it to gather information for the Essence Race?"

"Pretty much," Essefy answered as he returned to his humanoid form once again.

"But how did you get the information to arrive here?" Rean continued, curious. "This was and still is the Devils' Territory. Did you come here by yourself?"

Essefy shook his head. "How would that be possible? Unfortunately, I can't tell you as it involves some secrets our Race would rather keep hidden."

Rean didn't mind it. "Well, it is fine too. Now then, this is the last question... Was there a reason for you to stick with me? I find your sudden appearance before Kentucky and I took the teleport to enter the war quite convenient. Maybe 'too' convenient."
