Chapter 920 - Coul It Be All Of Them Are After Us?

Roan quickly checked the area as he raised his sword. Rean's Enhancement skill followed suit, increasing his body's strength. However, there was nothing at all!

'What's happening here? There's obviously killing intent aimed at me, but there's no one here.' Roan then began to gradually retreat from the building until he finally stepped out. The killing intent aimed at him had also disappeared at some point as he moved away.

That didn't make Roan feel any better, though. 'It's impossible for me to mistake killing intent. Even then, I still couldn't find the source.' After pondering it for a bit, Roan concluded. 'It has to be someone from far away. Killing intent manifests as long as the other party is observing me. In any case, I wasn't attacked, so the owner of this intent simply wasn't here.'

Roan didn't waste time and returned to Frin's side after that. He already decided in his mind that he would get away from this dead city straight away.

Roan wasn't the only one surprised, though. The same being with crimson eyes was as shocked as Roan. 'Unbelievable! I just thought of killing him for a moment, and he felt my presence straight away before raising his guard, ready to fight. How did he do that? I'm nowhere near that tower.' Of course, this guy didn't know of Death's ability to visualize killing intent that Roan shared with Rean.

'Sadly, I can't leave this place right now, not after so many years of preparation,' the owner of the crimson eyes pondered a bit before deciding. 'I didn't want to intervene in the World Beast Formation more than necessary, but it's better to prevent things from becoming worse. I can't let more of my Soul Submission Orbs be destroyed.'

Suddenly, dark energy began to spread from that being as it seeped into the ground. That energy then entered the same formation that Rean and Roan were looking for. After that, the formation shone for a moment as that guy's stream of energy was transmitted to the various spheres around the realm.

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

Demon beasts of all sizes and cultivations roared as if they had been injected with steroids. Following that, they all turned in the same direction and began to run like mad monsters. Any battles between themselves completely stopped after that since they were being intervened by the World Beast Formation.

Back on Roan's side, he heard a lot of demon beasts far away from the city roar out loud as well. However, it was unlike the ones the being with crimson eyes took control over. Instead, these ones were roaring because the sphere of this city was destroyed. That made their soul lose stability as they began to disappear together with their bodies.

Roan told Frin what happened, so he let Roan mount on his back as he charged out of the city. As they moved far away from the city, Frin finally saw what Roan was talking about. "So this is what happens to the demon beasts linked to that sphere with an eye inside. All of them simply die."

Roan nodded. "I'm pretty sure these demon beasts were created by it as well. Since they lost their origin, they couldn't keep their forms anymore." Roan also added, "It means that anywhere we see demon beasts in great numbers, there will definitely be a red-eyed sphere somewhere as well."

Frin couldn't help but ask after that, "How far does the sphere have control over?"

"I don't know," Roan answered. "However, it shouldn't be hard to find out. Keep moving in the direction I told you. This area will soon be empty of crimson demon beasts. Once we arrive in another area with more demon beasts, we'll know that we reached the limit of this one."

Frin agreed with that. "Alright, hold tight. I'm going to speed up."

Frin then turned into a flash of silver light as he and Roan disappeared into the distance. However, even with Frin's great speed, it took them more than two hours before they saw the very first demon beast. "Holy s.h.i.t! The range of these spheres is at least two thousand kilometers! Only now are we finding more of these beasts?"

Roan didn't like it either. "It would be too hard to find more of these spheres if their area of coverage is this big." Roan and Frin looked at each other for a moment before they reached the same conclusion. "Forget it, let's keep going. If we pa.s.s close to another one of these red-eyed spheres, we can destroy them. Otherwise, we better reunite with the others."

Frin knew that Rean and Roan had some way of knowing where the other was located. Back then, they simply said that it had something to do with the fact they were twins. Nevertheless, that was very convenient in this place where Spiritual Sense and Soul Power Scanning cant be used. "Fine by me."

Frin didn't stop as he ignored the demon beasts along the way. With his Peak Stage Nine cultivation, none of the demon beasts could even react before he pa.s.sed by them.

Still, it didn't take long before Roan and Frin noticed something different. Frin then asked Roan on his back, "Are you seeing the same thing as I am?"

Roan nodded, saying, "It seems like the demon beasts aren't attacking each other anymore. Instead, they're all trying to attack us. It's just that they can't get even close to you, so they're being quickly left behind."

Frin agreed with Roan. "Exactly. You told me someone was watching you when you left the building where you destroyed the sphere with the red eye. Could it have something to do with that event?"

Roan shook his head as he had no clue. "I don't know. Maybe they're following us because I have the shards of the sphere."

Frin narrowed his eyes after hearing that. The shards were definitely necessary since they would tell Roan and Frin if they were getting close to another one of those spheres or not. Naturally, they wouldn't throw them away. "Just throw one behind and see if they stop. If not, then we know we're their target."

Roan immediately did as Frin suggested. Frin also reduced his speed to see whether the demon beasts stopped to take the shard or not. However, the demon beasts completely ignored the shard and kept following Frin and Roan. "Well, unless they're trying to follow the guy with the most number of shards, it's pretty much obvious that they are after us."

Roan noticed that as well. "Increase your speed again. Although you're a Stage Nine Demon Beast, I don't want to see what will happen if all the demon beasts in these territories decide to attack you at the same time."

Frin couldn't help but let out a bit of cold sweat as he flashed away, leaving the demon beasts he had pa.s.sed through behind. However, this realm didn't only have weaker demon beasts. It also had those at the Stage Nine level.

*Roar!*

"s.h.i.t!" Frin immediately noticed when a demon insect appeared by his side, launching itself in his direction. "This one isn't any weakling. Hold on, Roan. I'll move at full speed."

Frin then enveloped Roan with his Spiritual Energy as his speed increased several times.. From the looks of it, the demon insect was indeed at the Stage Nine level, but he was still slower than the Silver Fenrir, which was a Divine Demon Beast focused on speed to start with. "Could it be that all the demon beasts in this realm are after us?"
