Death... and me



Sesame thought about it. 'Probably the very fact of having a low concentration of Devilish Energy is the reason, right? That makes it easier to spread this Light Element around. How can I say it... Perhaps it is such an easy target that it is worth taking the initiative even if there isn't much to be earned.'

Roan's eyes narrowed as he felt like there was more to it than what meets the eye. 'Whatever... Let's get out of the city first. Sesame, how long until you need to go back to your home?'

'If I push it, I can stay several decades, maybe a hundred years. But that will definitely affect me negatively. It would be best if I could go back within a year, two at most,' Sesame explained.

Roan nodded. 'I understand. Let's make it the last time we get your assistance, then. After that, you should go back to your home in the Swamp of No Return.'

'Sure. What do you need from me?' Sesame was happy that they considered his side of the situation.

Roan and Sesame left the city, heading straight to the Gufelin Cayoon, where the Angels had their base in this region. Even one of the biggest cities in the Sparse Black Grass Land only had an Elemental Space Realm Devil as its leader, so the experts of the Angel Race sent here didn't have that high cultivation either. With Sesamen here, it was pretty easy to find an Angel and capture him.

Sesame flew around with Roan, keeping themselves hidden. Finally, they found a group of Angels with an Initial Stage Space Bending Realm member within it. It is natural that the higher the cultivation, the higher the position of cultivators is. Devils and Angels are no different. That's why the two aimed for a rather higher level Angel.

Without anyone in that group noticing, Roan and Sesame approached them before Sesame used his Spatial Abilities to lock their surroundings.

"Who's there?!" Naturally, once they were prevented from keeping flying, the Angels immediately took out their weapons, ready to fight. However, the Spatial Lock around them disappeared as fast as it appeared, leaving the Angels puzzled.

"Ah!" Suddenly, one of them exclaimed, which caught the attention of all the other Angels. "Senior Abdiel disappeared!"

"What?!" Everyone looked around, and sure enough, their leader was nowhere to be seen. "Keep your guards high! We need to go back and report it to the base!" The second in command immediately passed his orders as they took a combat formation positioning. Well, that was pretty much useless since Sesame could have killed them all. Even Roan could have made quick work of them alone.

However, killing them would definitely catch too much attention. Since there was no way to avoid suspicion, they might as well simply leave with their prisoner. By the time the angels began to move as a group, Roan and Sesame had already traveled thousands of kilometers away.

The Angel in Sesame's Spatial Grasp couldn't help but sweat cold as he looked at the cat in front of him. He couldn't feel Sesame's cultivation, but the speed and spatial ability Sesame displayed was proof enough that Sesame was several realms above his one. 

After reaching a safer location, the Angel heard a Divine Sense Message from Roan. 'Don't resist if you know what is good for yourself.' Right after, Roan pulled Sesame and the Angel into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.

As soon as they arrived, Sister Orb used her control of the Dimensional Realm to lock the Angels' Senses, making it impossible for him to probe the place he was. He couldn't even move more than a few meters in there. Well, at least Sesame released him, which was better than nothing. "W-Who are you? What do you want from me?"

Roan snorted in response. "Your Angel Races attack our Underworld, and you are asking what we want from you? Seems like we didn't get a very bright Angel this time." Of course, Roan was still disguised as a Devil. He had no intention of telling the Angel he was human. 

As for Sesame, he was watching what was happening but was out of the Angel's field of vision. Rean and the others also looked from afar, leaving Roan to interrogate the guy. Well, Rean was doing another thing as well. This was the very first time he saw an Angel, so he was using his Divine Sense to analyze him from top to bottom. After all, he had to make his transformation skill work for the Angels as well. That was the main reason for the capture. Of course, Roan intended to get as much information as possible from the guy.

The Angel knew nothing about Rean's intentions as he tried to calm down. "Alright, it is only right that you can do that."

"It's good that you understand," Roan faintly smiled. "So, our forces in the Sparse Black Grass Land are not going to stay still and simply let you Angels take over our place. I want to know more about your forces. Also, tell me more about your base in the Gufelin Cayoon. Are there Teleport Formations available for use?"

"You can't expect me to just tell you everything, right?" The Angel wasn't going to talk that easily. "That's the same as bringing death to my friends and companions. We Angels would never do anything to harm each other, so you can simply kill me already."

Roan touched the Angel's forehead and kept smiling. "Friends and companions? That's not entirely correct, right? It's a lot more related to this Soul Restriction in your mind that you can't say anything."

It wasn't Roan who found that, but Sister Orb instead. Anything inside the Dimensional Realm can't escape her eyes, and that includes the Soul Restriction. She obviously told Roan as soon as the Angel entered the Dimensional Realm.

The Angel looked away, pretending to not have heard anything. Still, he was shocked that Roan found it straight away, considering the Angel who put it there.

Roan walked around the Angel as he got more and more certain of his suspicions. "A Soul Restriction in an Angel positioned in a middle of nowhere location. Your Angel races are going very far to prevent the group in this region from talking, don't you think?"
