At the same time, Rean used his Divine Sense to send Cryan a message. 'Because you took all the souls inside your body during that destruction, you ended up saving a few important people to us. We owe you for that. Once we get you out, I do want you to fulfill your part of the deal. Still, I wish you to be careful. You are a kind of existence that could bring a war between superpowers.'
Rean continued. 'We will not stay with you, and Eagon isn't exactly the type we could say we trust either. Well, you probably don't trust us either, so this conversation might have no meaning for you. Nonetheless, try to bring the terms of your agreement with Eagon in your favor as much as possible. For example, the local where you will give him the energy and meet for his cultivation, formations allowed in the area, people he can bring, etc.'
Cryan was surprised to hear Rean message. But then again, Rean was right. He trusted the twins as much as he trusted Eagon, so it didn't make much of a difference. 'Well, I'll take your advice seriously.'
Rean smiled. He wasn't sure if Cryan could hear his Divine Sense Message since he couldn't detect Cryan with it. Seems like he can.
Rean and Roan then activated their mirage assault once again. This time, however, there were tens of clones from each one of them. There wasn't much of a need for the clones to have a lot of strength. All they had to do was to use the twins' Weapon Intents. If they could use the Crescent Moon attack in that condition, that was enough to achieve their objective.
"Cryan, we are going to start," Roan warned. "When you see your surroundings fully covered in our attacks, you must tell us if the connection with the Planet's World Essence is completely severed. As soon as you give the word, we will start moving our attacks in the direction outside of this Pseudo-Dimensional Realm."
"Very well, I'm ready too. It's not like I have to do much anyway." Cryan gave his okay.
All the clones positioned themselves around Cryan before the twins started.
'Death Style, Second Form, Crescent Moon!'
All the clones used the attacks at the same time. Before the previous attack energy could dissipate, they used it again, creating a continuous stream of wave slashes covered in Sword and Scythe Auras. Soon, Cryan disappeared from everyone's vision, covered by many waves of Light and Dark Elements and Weapon Auras.
Nonetheless, everyone could hear his voice a second later. "It worked! I can't feel the outside World Essence at all!"
The twins nodded. "Good! The doubt now is whether the Planet can still pull you back or not, even though you lost the connection. We are moving!"
Slowly, the twins and all the clones moved backward, approaching the exit of the Pseudo-Dimensional Realm. "How is it, Cryan?"
"Keep going!" Cryan answered. "I can feel the pulling force acting on my body, but it isn't even a hundredth than when I try it alone. I can definitely exit if we continue like this."
Rean and Roan were already expecting that. In the end, they couldn't really cover Cryan's surroundings completely without any flaws. The little gaps were the gaps the Planet used to feel and pull Cryan back. Fortunately, it was far from enough.
The journey to the division between the Dimensional and the Outside took over two hours. That's because the dimensional itself was quite big. Not to mention that the twins had to move slowly to guarantee that no big gap would appear. Nonetheless, Cryan grew excited. Even though the pulling force increased, it was a far cry from the normal strength. It was the first time he had got so close to the exit.
Yet, it was at this moment that Eagon's voice echoed in everyone's minds. 'Not good! All of you, come out!'
Kentucky's voice followed Eagon's. 'Rean, Roan, leave Cryan. Come out now!'
Hearing that, Rean and Roan immediately stopped their attacks, which exposed Cryan to the Planet's World Essence. Naturally, Cryan was immediately pulled back to the center of the Dimensional like a bullet. "What?! Why did you stop?!"
Rean and Roan looked outside and sighed. "Cryan, it seems like the people you previously had a deal with have just arrived."
Rean and Roan's Divine Sense covered the entire Planet as well as far into the void. They could now see a Spatial Gate appearing, from which ten or so people came out.
Cryan immediately cursed. "Fuck! Why now of all times?! I was so close!!!"
Rean nodded. "I know how you feel, but we need to see what they want, too. Cryan, don't tell them that we found a way to bring you out. If you do, they might decide to simply destroy you, even if it brings everyone down. Eagon, the same goes for you."
Eagon nodded. "I'm not an idiot. As far as I know, we are completely unable to move Cryan at all."
Suddenly, the twins' group felt the Divine Senses of those experts passing through their bodies, which put them on an even higher guard. 'Space-Time Realm...'
Rean and Roan's Divine Sense Bending Skill picked up the strongest Divine Sense, which was easy to measure with their experience. Roan warned Eagon straight away, 'Eagon, there are three Space-Time Realm experts in their midst.'
Eagon nodded, seeming to have understood that already. The experts who arrived didn't seem to be trying to hide at all. "Let's go out and see what they want."
"Can you use your authority as Sector Lord to demand their exit?" Rean asked him.
"I can," Eagon nodded while a token appeared in his hand. "Now, whether they will follow the rules imposed by the Realm of Gods or not, that I don't know."
Roan snorted. "Ha! With the reward available here, I highly doubt they will comply that easily."
Rean, Eagon, and Kentucky nodded. Neither of them thought that things would be that easy either.
