Death... and me

Celis and Kentucky looked at a small hill on the side in this Pressure Realm. They knew Rean was behind it while moving along with them. Eventually, Rean got close enough to send the two a Divine Sense message. 'Kentucky, Celis, help me a bit on something.'

In this Pressure Realm, there were no rules about attacking other participants. It was different from the Soul Land. As always, each of the tests had its own rules. 'Er... are you sure about that?'

Rean nodded in response. 'Yes, just do it. Make sure you do what I say.'

Kentucky and Celis didn't mind and immediately called out the other demon beasts in their group. In total, they still had eight members after the losses in the Soul Land. It was then that they rushed over to the other side to attack Rean's group.

Obviously, Rean and the others saw when Kentucky's group appeared and immediately stopped. "Someone's coming."

However, before Min or anyone else could say anything, a snake demon beast launched out a jet of poison in their direction. Except for Kentucky and Celis, everyone in their group was in the Void Tempering Realm. That meant their attacks also had a small amount of Space Power behind them. Of course, the snake wasn't the only one. The other demon beasts also attacked with full strength.

Rean's expression turned dark before he ordered, "Run! There are too many of them for us to fight! They're not mindless puppets like the ones in the Deep Sea Monster Assault test."

Rean then gathered the power of their battle formation and immediately counterattacked as they tried to open distance from the demon beasts. However, there were too many demon beasts for them to deal with... well, Rean could probably still defend against their attacks as long as Celis and Kentucky intervened. However, the Minokawa and Cedar couldn't show up since Erla and the others would definitely recognize them as part of Rean's group.

"This isn't working. Let's split!" Before anyone could say anything, Rean broke the battle formation and quickly grabbed the closest members of his group with his Divine Energy. Min and Habac felt their bodies being pulled as Rean dashed away. At the same time, Rean looked at Erla and Blansin while using a Divine Sense message, 'You two are in the Void Tempering Realm, so it will be easier for you to escape on your own. I'll help Habac and Min escape, and you two do the same thing. You already know the direction we're heading in, so try and meet us there.'

"Wait!" Min didn't want to split from Erla for obvious reasons. However, Rean's overwhelming advantage in this test made it impossible for him to break free from Rean.

'Life Style, First Form, Enhancement!'

'Death Style, Second Movement Form, Shadow Air!'

Rean's advantage in this realm was so great that he could even afford to fly while carrying Habac and Min. There were no rules against flying in the Pressure Realm. That's because it was considered a very wasteful way of spending Divine Energy with the gravity applied to everyone's bodies. Then again, the story was different for Rean, Roan, Celis, and Kentucky. Naturally, Rean used the second form of the Death Movement Style, aimed at fast movement in the air.

Seeing Rean flying away put Erla slightly at ease. She knew it would have been hard for her to pull Min together because of the Dimensional Realm's traits. She also focused all her strength on her spatial ability and immediately dashed away.

There was one guy who was delighted, though. That was Blansin. He didn't expect that he would suddenly be alone with Erla. As long as he managed to escape the assault of the Demon Beasts coming at them, he would have the chance he was looking for. "Erla, grab my hand. My movement technique is better outside water. As long as we focus on running away, we can definitely escape this place fast enough."

"Alright!" Erla considered Blansin a friend, so she had no reason to not do so. Soon after, Blansin activated his movement technique before the two focused on their spatial abilities.

The demon beasts behind attacked nonstop, trying to stop Rean's group. Unfortunately, they chose the wrong target. Because Rean was in the Transition Realm, they thought he would be the easiest one to catch. Little did they know that Rean's strength made him the fastest in their group. By the time they decided to switch their attention to Blansin and Erla, the two were already quite far away.

They pursued Erla and Blansin for a while after that. However, the high gravity of the place was already putting a great strain on their bodies. Erla and Blansin, on the other hand, still had the effects of the Enhancement skill. They had it a lot easier than the demon beasts behind. At least that would continue to be the case until Rean's Light Element in their bodies ran out.

Eventually, the demon beasts from Kentucky and Celis group stopped the pursuit. Not that they wanted to, as they would continue if they needed. It's because they received a Divine Sense Message from Kentucky, telling them to let Erla and Min go. 'That's enough. You won't be able to catch those two anymore and will instead spend your strength for nothing. Come back so that I can use my Light Element skills on you.'

The demon beasts seemed bothered by the fact that they couldn't fulfill the Divine Demon Beasts' orders. However, since they told them to go back, they could only do so.

Kentucky then appeared far behind as he used his much better long-distance sight to watch the situation. "Yep, they're gone." He then looked at three humans standing on his side. If Erla and Blansin were here, they would definitely have recognized them as they had been in the same group a moment ago. "Rean, is that what you wanted?"

Rean nodded with a smile in response. "That's perfect. Thank you, Celis, Kentucky."
