Death… And Me



Naturally, Rean's group heard Sister Orb's words. "What do you mean?"

[It's not like you can't figure out,] Sister Orb explained. [Even an Elder Devil couldn't escape this place. I mean, so many devils and even some other races entered this place. However, there were no records of anyone ever leaving. If you consider the chances, someone of the countless beings who came into the Swamp of no Return should have luckily moved in the right direction and exited it after being lost. Yet, not a single one did. Even if we use Luan's ability to see the Space Element, I don't think that it will be enough to get away from this place. Something will most definitely prevent us from doing it.]

Roan narrowed his eyes in response. "I have also thought about this possibility, but I didn't intend to go back before getting the fragment to start with. Since it has come to this, I agree that Sister Orb is probably right."

"Alright, then we can't go forward, and we can't go back. In that case, what do we do? Should we return to Luman's settlement? At the very least, Luan will be able to guide us back there," Kentucky mentioned. "I don't have any idea how to counter this repealing effect of the space flow. I can't even tell that we are being repealed at all."

Everyone went silent as Kentucky continued to fly. They were trying to think about a solution. It was then that Luan remembered something. "The Demon Beasts we have been fighting in this Swamp. We know that they have some interaction with this Swamp."

Roan looked at Luan with a puzzled expression. "True... However, do you know if they can ignore this repealing effect? Even if they can, can we use it in our favor?"

"I don't know." Luan immediately shook his head. "But I'm trying to think about something."

"Space Flow, Repealing Effect, Senses Misdirection through the manipulation of Space... It is all related to Space Power." Rean suddenly thought something. "Can't we use our own Space Power to counter it?"

"How?" Everyone immediately looked at him.

ƥαṇdα- ηθνε|·ƈθm Immediately after, Rean used his Soul Origin Energy and gathered the Space power around him. Following that, he covered Kentucky, Luan, and Roan with it. "The point is, we are being affected because the space power isn't ours. In that case, we might as well use some energy to make the surrounding Space Power our own. Now that I'm controlling it, this Space Power is mine, not the Swamp's anymore. Luan, use your eyes and see if this repealing effect has diminished at all."

Luan's pupils immediately began to rotate as his vision altered from the real world to the elemental one. He could clearly see Rean's Space Power being surrounded by the Swamp's Space Flow. He continued like that for a few minutes until his expression lit up. "It is working! The repealing power is still affecting us, but not as severely as before. We were moving at 20% of our speed without Uncle Rean's Space Manipulation, but now we are somewhere around 30 to 35%."

Rean then looked at Roan and Kentucky. "Well, that confirms it. You two should join hands with me and expand the Space Manipulation around us. If we share the Soul Origin Energy burden, we might be able to keep it running for a few days before we need to stop to recover."ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

*Vup!*

Immediately after, Celis came out of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. "Since that's the case, I guess I have no other choice but to stop cultivating for now. It will be better than keep absorbing Divine energy inside the Dimensional Realm."

Roan, Kentucky, and Rean nodded before they all used their own Soul Origin Energy to gather the Space Power around themselves. Sure enough, the field around their group extended for a few tens of meters, making a distinct contrast between the Swamp's Space Power Flow and their own.

Luan kept looking at his surroundings while Kentucky flew forward. It didn't take long for his expression to get even better. "This is great! We have restored our flight speed to around 90% of the real one. This effort has nullified the effect of the Space Flow of the Swamp by almost four times."

Hearing that, Kentucky couldn't help but ask. "That's weird. How come no one thought about this method before? They wouldn't get lost if they did it."

Luan immediately disagreed. "No, it is different. What we are nullifying is the repealing effect. This Space Field that our group created can not affect the Senses' Misdirection. No, that's not correct. It can help with it. Unfortunately, it can only help within the range of the Space Field."

They obviously understood. It was meaningless to be able to not get lost within a range of a few tens of meters. Even Luman, who could create a field several hundred or even several kilometers of range, would find it meaningless. Luman would literally need to create a Space Manipulation Field capable of covering at least half of the entire Swamp of no Return to make use of it to leave the Swamp.

It was okay to nullify the repealing effect within a few tens of meters of range. But there was no point in not getting lost within the same range. They didn't need a Space Field for that.

"Alright, now that we countered most of the Space Repealing Effect of the Swamp, let's keep going. Kentucky, try to fly as fast as possible but take the management of Soul Origin Energy into account. Every time we deplete 50 to 60% of our energy, we will stop to recover. Rean and I have the highest pool of Soul Origin Energy, so we will match the consumption with Celis and you to have proportional spending," said Roan.

Kentucky nodded and actually stopped to use his energy to fly. Instead, he increased the speed with his body's strength alone. That way, he could make his energy last even longer. "Leave it to me."
