Death... and me

Of course, the enemies would need to be quite stupid to attack Roan's group with only three members. After all, unlike Roan, Lita, Vrie, and Krikei were all in the Void Tempering Realm. Roan's words were directed at the remaining five that were still alive, two humanoids and one demon beast. Their group had five Void Tempering Realm members, two humanoids, and three demon beasts. However, the strongest among them was only in the Late Stage. Roan could totally fight that one on his own if he wanted to.

The reason these other five were still alive was that they were more focused on not letting Roan's group escape. Little did they know that their slightly greater distance from Roan's group would be what saved their lives. Two of them, obviously, were in the Void Tempering Realm. It's just that they were in the Initial Stage. As for the other three, they were in the Transition Realm.

Well, it went without saying that once Roan's group killed those three with relative ease, they gave up all ideas of continuing the assault and immediately dispersed.

Krikei thought about that for a moment before saying, "Let them go. It'll be a waste of Divine Energy to go after them, especially the Void Tempering Realm ones."

Roan agreed with him, saying, "They thought that their advantage in numbers would be enough to quickly get rid of us. At the very least, kill one or two of us while the rest run away. That would have been enough to be worth the attack since they could get our Divine Stones. Now they're going to suffer without their strongest members. There's no need for us to do anything."

On the other hand, Lita couldn't help but show great glee. "Who cares? Did you see what we did?! That's the strength of my clan's battle formation for you! They could barely resist us."

Vrie looked in Roan's direction, though. "Then again, the main reason was definitely you. I'm truly impressed with your proficiency in controlling the flow of Divine Energy in our battle formation. It obviously costs us a lot of Divine Energy, but you definitely made it a lot easier."

Roan nodded, replying, "I did create this revised version, after all. Now, grab a few Divine Stones and recover your Divine Energy. We should still have a few minutes until the start of the test. I will use my method to help recover Divine Energy later."

Everyone nodded as they took out their own Divine Stones... well, not really theirs. Instead, they got it from the guys who attacked them at first. However, there was one thing that Lita and Vrie didn't mention, but they still thought, 'How can someone at the Middle Stage of the Transition Realm be that strong?! He definitely doesn't lose out to Krikei in combat power at all!'

Krikei was more interested in another thing, though. 'Just what was that energy in his weapon? It wasn't Space Power, that's for sure. It was something completely different but powerful. It doesn't lose to Space Power at all. No, if I compare it to the amount of Space Power I can use, I'll probably be at the losing end.' However, Krikei put those thoughts behind his mind. He could ask about it once they get out of this place.

Roan had practiced the battle formation with those guys. However, they just practiced. It was the first time he showed his real strength. Of course, it was a great thing that Roan was that strong. It meant that they had an even higher chance of passing this test. That was all that mattered at the moment.

*Brinnnnnnnn...*

Suddenly, a sound echoed throughout the water, reaching everyone's ears in the entire Dimensional Realm.

Back on Rean's group side, except for Habac, their group was quite surprised by what they were seeing. Divine Energy, different elements, and Yin Energy congregated in several locations around them. It was as if they were all being controlled by something.

Habac, of course, called their attention, saying, "The test has started. Let's leave this place before those monsters take form. They usually take a few minutes to appear, so it'll be better to preserve our energy."

No one was against his words as they quickly used their battle formation to provide a boost in Divine Energy and move away faster. However, it didn't matter where they looked. The same thing was happening everywhere. "Is there even a place that can be called safe?" Rean could not help but ask.

Habac nodded, clarifying, "Not exactly. What we can find are some places where there's a fewer number of monsters being born. Unfortunately, there's no place where it's completely devoid of monsters. Well, not that I've seen any the last time I was here, though."

Rean's Divine Sense could now reach up to 13 kilometers after his breakthrough into the Middle Stage of the Transition Realm. His Divine Sense could go even further than Erla, who was in the Initial Stage of the Void Tempering Realm. "There!"

Immediately, Rean changed direction, bringing everyone with him. At first, Erla was confused since she didn't see anything with her Divine Sense. Yet, it didn't take long for her to see the same thing Rean did. "This... how did you know this place had a lower number of monsters being born?"

Rean looked at Erla, confused, as he replied, "Isn't that obvious? I used my Divine Sense. Could it be that you can't see the location where monsters are born with your Divine Sense?"

Erla was taken aback as she replied, "Of course I can! However, if you used Divine Sense, then how much bigger is your Divine Sense compared to mine?"

Rean shook his head, saying, "That I don't know. All I can tell is that my Divine Sense can spread up to 13 kilometers."

"13?!!!" Erla felt completely defeated. "My Divine Sense can't go any further than 7 kilometers."

Min and Habac were also shocked by Rean's words. They were in the same Transition Realm but were at higher stages. However, their Divine Senses couldn't compare to Rean's Divine Sense at all.

Habac couldn't help but mention after that. "I wonder which one here is the real monster..."
