Luman's face contorted in anger as the organization's name reminded him of his race's past. "So you went as far as going down to the mortal realm to destroy a planet, uh? There will be a day I will destroy all of them."
Rean and Roan could obviously tell that the Vruve Organization was also the one that pursued the Lakures. However, in this specific case, the Vruve Organization didn't go to Sunkan Planet because of the Lakures. Instead, it was because of the twins' system. But then again, they wouldn't tell Luman that.
A few moments later, Luman calmed down again. It wouldn't change anything even if he exploded now. "Whatever. I'll think about it later. Instead, finish teaching me how to use your Devil Transformation."
Rean nodded and continued to explain how to do that. It wouldn't get as perfect as it was for Rean and Roan themselves. However, it could be achieved to a certain extent. At the very least, it would be better than the disguising technique that Luman was using so far.
"This bracelet is quite something. Where did you get this Light Gathering Equipment? As far as I can remember, there were no such things back in the Realm of Gods during my time. Do you have anything to do with the Angel Races?" Luman was obviously curious.
"Is that so?" Rean asked back, pretending to not know that. "These kinds of equipment aren't quite common in the Realm of Gods nowadays. They are very expensive. However, you can literally find Element Gathering Equipment of all types as long as you can pay for it. Someone at senior Luman's level wouldn't have any trouble in buying one, though."
Luman nodded. Considering that the twins managed to arrive in the Swamp of No Return as living beings, he was pretty sure they were quite wealthy themselves. No one would believe Rean anyway if Rean said that he was the one who invented such a thing. Just how low would the chances of that happening be? The creator himself travels in an enemy realm and just ends up bumping into him... That was ridiculous.
Finally, Luman understood the gist of the Devil Transformation Technique. "Good, really good! My own technique was already quite a high level, but this one of yours is incredible! Now I understand why you said I could even procreate with other Devils with this thing. Hahahaha!"
'He is still thinking about having sex with female Devils...' Rean, Roan, and Kentucky thought at the same time.
"Alright, a deal is a deal," Luman quickly continued. "Not to mention you came from the same planet as my Lakures, so I'll keep my part of the accord. If you want to leave, just do so. However, I would stay here if I were you. One can not find their way in this place, even as an Elder Devil. You might end up going further into the Swamp, where the Demon Beasts are even stronger. In this settlement, you will not have to worry about being attacked by the Demon Beasts. They can tell I'm here and that they would only die if they come out."
"As we thought," Luman's words confirmed the twins' suspicions. "The creatures of this Swamp can feel the presence of those from outside from very long distances, right? We always felt like these monsters knew we were coming."
Luman didn't deny that. "That's correct. Still, it is not a bad thing. For those at your level, you can go out of the settlement but refrain from going too far. That way, you can find your way back here while still being targeted by them. It is quite a very efficient training ground. Our settlement has quite a few Void Tempering and Space Bending Realm Devils."
"Not only Devils, right?" Rean answered back with a smile.
Luman smiled as well. "So you noticed, uh? That's correct. A few of the 'Devils' you passed by are, in fact, living beings too. They are the subordinates that came with me inside my Pocket Dimensional Realm. Naturally, they used the same technique as me to disguise themselves as Devils. As for the ones who are truly Devils, none of them would risk going against me, especially since they need my presence to stay alive. Simply put, this is quite a good place, and I wouldn't mind if you stayed as well. Hey, you can even have a few female Devils to entertain yourselves... or perhaps male ones, if you like that kind of play."
"Ahem..." Rean immediately changed the topic there. "There is no need. However, we would like to hear more about this Swamp. Have sir found anything at all? Is there really no way out?"
Luman sighed in response. "I do know a few things about this Swamp. Unfortunately, an escaping method is not one of them. That's why I'm trying to increase my cultivation level to see if I can change something."
It was then that Luman remembered Rean's question from a while ago. "Oh, right. When I arrived here, I was in the Elemental Space Realm. But I spent a lot of time here, so I'm already in the Space-Time Realm Late Stage."
"Space-Time Realm, uh?" Only now did the twins hear about the next level above the Elemental Space Realm. Well, they were too far away from it anyway, so it didn't matter much at the moment.
Luman continued. "As for the reason why my lakure Race was being pursued, if you know my Lakure Race as you said, then you can probably imagine why."
Roan pondered a bit before guessing. "The Lakures are excellent at Energy Manipulation. At least they definitely were with Spiritual Energy back in the Mortal Realm. Seeing you here, I'm pretty sure it also applies to Divine Energy."
"Correct," Luman nodded. "My Lakure Race is one of the strongest humanoid races of the Realm of Gods. Or at least, we were..."
"Can we hear what happened?" Kentucky immediately asked out of curiosity.
Luman thought for a moment and nodded. "Sure, it's not like knowing the past will change anything."
