Chapter 747 - Should We Join?

Luti asked if the twins lived somewhere on the southeast side of the Demon Beast Continent. However, they explained that they lived outside with a few other demon beasts. With that being said, Luti couldn't pay a visit to them unless he traveled a very long distance. "I see...where is it exactly?"
Roan shook his head as he answered, "We'd rather not talk about it. After all, it'll be annoying if the Zasfins appear and take revenge. Not that I doubt you, but I prefer to be on the safe side."
Luti nodded, not minding it much as he replied, "That's fine. Anyways, you can find me if you head to the Demon Beast City on the southeast side of the continent. As you know, there aren't that many high-level humans in this world, so it should be pretty easy to find me there if you ask around."
As explained before, there were only five cities in the entire Demon Beasts Continent. Other than that, there were a few very small settlements and tribes in isolated places. Luti mentioned the city at the southeast, which was the only one there, so it would definitely be easy to find him.
After Gia confirmed everyone's achievements, the demon beasts began to leave one after another. However, they didn't head back to the Demon Beast Continent. After all, the travel would take weeks considering their level. Kentucky and Gulan, two Divine Demon Birds, already took two weeks to make their way there. Let alone the others.
With that said, most of them decided to stay and cultivate close to Celesgal Mountain. After all, the World Swallowing Cedar disappeared, so the Spiritual Energy in the surroundings wasn't too different than back in their territory. Besides, it would be much easier to answer the call for a new mission since they were already here.
Gia, on the other hand, decided to head back to the Demon Beast Continent. As a Dark Spiked Tarantula, she had many offsprings to take care of. She was their queen, after all. 'I also have to talk with Phex about this. These twins are too weird.'
Rean, Kentucky, and Roan then bade farewell to Luti before heading back to the valley. On their way, Kentucky asked the twins, "Say, is it really okay to keep living in the valley? At the moment, only Gulan and the demon beasts there know about us. However, what if others decide to knock on our door?"
Rean agreed with Kentucky, saying, "That's one more reason to buy an airship with the Merit Points. If they're as big as the one we used after being captured by the Zasfins, it should fit all the kids and still have empty space."
That reminded Roan about the travel in the airship. "Indeed. That thing was enormous. I only saw something similar back in the Sasamil Empire, an airship used by the Imperial Family." As Roan said those words, he immediately recalled Calina.
Of course, Rean was no different as he thought about Qia and the others, muttering, "I wonder how those guys are doing at the moment..."
To answer that question, we'd have to move to the Odbruva Empire, Erstral Country's Capital.
At this moment, two Zasfins and four humans were making their way along the streets. As they looked at the posters on the walls, they saw the old ones that talked about Rean and Roan. However, it had been quite some time since those posters were put up there, so they began to show signs of age. On the other hand, there were new ones that seemed a lot more urgent.
They stopped in front of the posters for a moment as the Zasfins took one to look at. The humans only stayed by their side with a respectful expression. Obviously, those Zasfins and humans were Frandin's group. Malaka, Calina, and Agis were just pretending to be slaves as always.
Thanks to Rean's equipment, Agis could gather Light Element to use Rean's Spiritual Sense bending skill. After all this time, he had already mastered it, so he could hide Calina, Malaka, Qia, and his own cultivation without much issue. As long as a Nascent Soul Zasfin didn't come close and checked their cultivation up close, they wouldn't be able to pierce through Agis's skill.
Of course, compared to Roan and especially Rean, Agis was quite lacking when using the skill. After all, he didn't have an affinity with it, much less did he have a soul connection to exchange elements.
Frandin then used his Spiritual Sense as he talked with everyone, saying, 'Look at this. They're saying that the demon beasts have rebelled and are now attacking all cities.'
Calina nodded, responding, 'It started not long after the Spiritual Energy of the world increased. I thought the Zasfins were the absolute rulers of this planet, but it seems like it isn't that simple.'
Xiria, the other Zasfin that joined their group, was shocked when she heard of it as well. 'A continent filled with demon beasts. I've never heard of it before, so how come it appeared just now? Did the Soul Rulers hide its existence?'
Agis nodded, answering, 'Obviously. They didn't want their power to be contested. Unfortunately for the demon beasts, they couldn't attack either because of the Spiritual Energy issue. Now that the problem is gone, they refuse to be treated as if they don't exist in the first place.'
Malaka couldn't help but ask, 'Do you think it has something to do with Rean and Roan?'
Immediately, everyone except Xiria nodded. 'Who are we kidding here? Wherever those two go, chaos is ensured. Since they went to the Soul Rulers' headquarters, they must have done something. Otherwise, why would the Zasfins be looking for them everywhere?'
Xiria didn't know what to say. Though, she soon asked, 'Was it that bad to travel with them?'
Everyone nodded once again as they replied in unison, 'Definitely!'
Hearing that answer made Xiria even more puzzled. 'Sometimes, I don't know if you like or hate those two...'
*Achoo!*
Somewhere far away, a certain pair of twins sneezed.
Qia then put those thoughts behind and focused on the poster as she asked them, 'However, what should we do? Now that we're out of Valaria Swamp, should we join the war?'
