Death... and me

Suddenly, Rean received a message from Roan. 'Come inside the Dimensional Realm.'

Rean didn't waste time and looked at the other Formation Masters, including Rawor. "I'm heading into the Dimensional Realm for a moment. You guys continue with your work."

Rawor nodded as it wasn't anything rare for those with Dimensional Realms to enter them. Even Rawor himself did it quite a few times every now and then. "Alright, just don't take too long."

Rean then teleported away and brought Fay with him. He could tell that Roan was by Alen's side, so it was better if Fay was there as well. Naturally, Rean and Fay appeared just by their side. "So, have you talked to him?"

Rean asked as he looked at Alen. However, seeing the excited expression on Alen's face, he didn't need an answer. "You're definitely enjoying it, aren't you?"

Alen laughed after hearing that. "Uncle, you know me! I'm finally getting my freedom! How could I not feel happy? Dad finally understood that keeping me in this cage would serve no purpose whatsoever."

*Pah!*

*Ouch!*

Roan immediately slapped the back of Alen's head. "I'm not letting you go so that you can play around. I'm doing it so you can find your path! Otherwise, your life will be over in 500 years' time, idiot."

"I know, I know..." Alen rubbed the back of his head in response. "There's still a lot of time, you know? I haven't even gone through a third of a century yet, so what's the rush? I'll take my time while I'm out. I'm sure I'll find it somewhere."

Roan felt like it was more of a mistake to let this guy go just like that. "Just how did you turn out like this?" However, he didn't wait for an answer. "Whatever. You're going out with Fay. She's also trying to find her path, so it'll be better if you two are together."

"Ugh..." Alen didn't seem to like that idea. "Why should I go with her? She's too boring."

Fay shrugged her shoulders in response. "I'm fine with that. It simply means I'm not like you. Anyways, I'm going with you to make sure you won't die in some corner on your own. In any case, I'm doing it for Aunt Calina."

Calina smiled straight away when she heard that. "Thank you, Fay. I'm sure you will take good care of this baby."

Alen felt like everyone was treating him like a child, but he didn't complain. They were letting him go, so he would accept anything. 'Well, if I can stop all that training dad forces me to do, then I'll follow Fay anywhere. I'm not that much weaker than her either, so I won't need her protection.'

Rean then used his connection to Roan to tell him he gave Fay the two Void Shattering Pills. Roan wasn't that surprised, though. 'It's okay. It can work as a life-saving measure in the future if it's truly needed. If it's Fay, then she definitely won't take it until she has fulfilled my conditions. Just make sure she doesn't let Alen know she has them.'

Rean nodded in response. 'I already told her that. She won't let Alen even touch her spatial ring. If he tries it, well... he'll be in for a lot of pain.'

"By the way, father." Alen was curious. "How are we going to leave without anyone noticing?"

Roan then looked at Alen's side before someone suddenly appeared. Well, to be more specific, Roan had moved that guy from somewhere else in the Dimensional Realm. It's just that he looked just like Alen.

The guy quickly complimented Rean and Roan. "Sect Masters, I'm ready."

Not long after, a woman who was around Fay's age also appeared. Naturally, she looked identical to Fay herself.

Seeing that, any idiot would understand what was happening. "So you and Uncle Rean changed their appearances so that they would look just like us. That way, no one will guess we left, right?"

Roan nodded as he took a few makeup items out. "That's correct. Now stay still. Fay, you come here as well. I'm going to change your appearances. You'll look completely different after I'm finished. Rean, you deal with their body structures. It's only temporary, after all."

Rean didn't mind. "Sure, let's start."

Calina couldn't help but remember the time she passed through the same process to live in the Dalamu Sect. Back then, everyone thought she was dead when, in fact, she was saved by the twins. "Well, this brings back memories."

Rean and Roan were already used to doing that, so it didn't take long for the two to have completely new looks. "Alright, you look just like Animo and Restlar now."

Animo and Restlar were obviously the two disciples who would pretend to be Fay and Alen for the time being.

Rean obviously warned Animo and Restlar. "Remember, you'll only appear every once in a while and return to the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. If anyone asks, just say that Roan and I gave you tasks to do in our Dimensional Realm."

Restlar and Animo quickly nodded in response. "Yes, Sect Master." Above all, they would receive rewards for this ruse. It was being treated as a sect mission, a bountiful one at that. Not to mention that they were under the Soul Binding Contract, so they couldn't betray the twins anyway, nor did they want to.

Calina then patted Alen's head after that. "Take care out there. I'm the one who said you had to go, but I'm still worried."

Alen obviously liked his mother much more than Roan. "Don't worry, mom, I'll be fine."

Rean looked at Fay as well. "Your mother contacted you already, yeah?"

Fay nodded. "Yes. But I'm bringing the communication badge with me. If the network spreads out more in the future, it might reach the area where Alen and I are located. Once that happens, I'll call mother and you back."

"That's good." Rean had even more reason to expand the communication system. Well, it's just that he wouldn't be here to see it expand after leaving with Roan.
