Death… And Me Chapter 2826: On The Stick

Chapter 2826: On The Stick

Roan wasn't surprised, though. One thing was pretty much a norm when it comes to the Fragments, they always caused some kind of phenomenon when they were left alone. There was even one that gained sentience. If anything, Roan was more concerned about his connection with Rean. Naturally, he also felt how feeble it became, showing that he truly was sent to a very distant place.
Roan, choosing to set aside his concerns for the moment, focused on the immediate surroundings. He found himself confined within a square room, its dimensions not exceeding a few tens of meters. Beelzebub, in his usual state of confusion, was forced to assume his human form due to the spatial constraints. However, his head still retained its fly-like appearance.
"So, do you have any idea what is happening here?" Roan asked Beelzebub, completely ignoring his weird human form.
Beelzebub shook his head. "This place was supposed to be empty. Well, empty other than the Fragment itself. What is this place?"
Roan nodded, knowing he wasn't lying. Not because of his abilities, but because the pact prevented Beelzebub from lying about the Fragment they will be trading with.
"Shit!" Suddenly, Beelzebub cursed.
Roan turned his attention to where Beelzebub was looking and quickly understood. "The entrance is also gone, it seems."
Indeed. The Black Hole they used to get in here wasn't there. They didn't even notice when it disappeared, even though they had their Divine Senses spread all the time.
Roan turned around again, calm as ever. "Well, there seems to be a rune on every side of this place, so we can just try them out."
"Who the hell will try anything?" Beelzebub wasn't as patient, though. Immediately, his power of souls gathered around his hand. However... that was all there was. Laws, Elements, Divine Energy, none of those were available here.
Regardless, that alone was enough to cause great destruction, so Beelzebub attacked the room without thinking twice.
*Boom!*
The power of souls blasted everywhere, forcing even Roan to put up some protection on himself on the back. This place might not have Divine Energy, but Roan definitely had it in his Dantian.
The situation quickly stabilized, though. When Roan looked where Beelzebub attacked, there was nothing different. The walls were the same; not a single scratch could be seen. "Sure enough..."
Beelzebub was speechless. Yet, he didn't give up. He quickly accessed his Spatial Ring and brought out various Develish Energy Stones. He gathered his power once again, now using the Devilish Stones to deliver a full-power attack.
Roan just watched and increased the strength of his defenses. It was obvious that asking Beelzebub to stop wouldn't be of much use.
*BOOM!*
Another blast, now of soul energy, elements, and divine energy, a contribution of the Devilish Stones. The total power more than doubled, making it a little difficult for Roan to fend it off. Beelzebub had almost much a power equivalent to a Peak Divinity Realm expert, after all.
"Fuck!* Too bad, though. All Beelzebub got was to get himself even angrier. The wall that he attacked was still pristine.
"Now that you saw it, let's not waste energy anymore," Roan spoke.
Beelzebub looked back, seeing Roan barely affected at all. "What is it? You look like someone who knows something. Speak!"
Roan nodded. "Did you forget? The Fragments always cause something to happen when they are left alone, and this place is obviously a manifestation of its power. Your test wasn't meaningless, I might add. It served to prove that these walls have almost, if not the same resistance as the Fragment itself."
As someone who had possessed a Fragment of the Universe Foundation before, Beelzebub was well aware of its resistance. He even tried to actively break it in the past, but even his full power back then was still useless. Finally, Beelzebub gave up and calmed down as well. "What now? Do you recognize the runes?"
Roan nodded, having seen many of Rean's formations in the past. "I'm pretty sure they Spatial Runes. Regardless of whether this place has no laws, energies, or elements, space is the one thing that can never disappear. We can try to use them and see if anything happens." "But you aren't sure, right?" Beelzebub asked back.
"I'm not a Formations Master," Roan didn't deny that. "But then again, I don't see a better choice at the moment."
Without waiting for Beelzebub's response, Roan approached one of the Runes and touched it. Instantly, Spatial Power enveloped him, and he disappeared without a trace. Beelzebub was taken aback for a moment and quickly touched the same rune. Naturally, the same phenomenon took place, and he also disappeared from the room... just to appear inside another one that looked similar to the previous one. Oh, and Roan was there too.
"Is this the same place?" Beelzebub narrowed his eyes.
Roan shook his head, though. "Highly doubt it. The dimensions of this room are slightly different. The runes are still on the walls, but they are also a little different from the ones in the previous room."
Beelzebub was the one to not wait this time. He flew to the ceiling and touched the Spatial Rune there, once again disappearing. Seeing that, Roan sighed and followed, also
disappearing.
However, when Roan appeared again, he saw quite a peculiar scene.
Beelzebub was impaled from all sides. That was quite a curious thing since someone at Beelzebub's level wouldn't be easily hurt like that. First of all, he should have been fast enough to dodge most attacks in the Universe. "Seems like he is dead. Oh well, whatever. I wonder if a fried fly on the stick tastes good..."
Beelzebub wanted to cry ahead. "Fuck you! I'm obviously still alive!" He gathered his soul energy and blasted with power. This time, the many spikes on his body truly got destroyed, leaving behind a body full of holes.
Well, although Beelzebub was using his human form, he was still just an agglomeration of countless dead souls. He doesn't really have a body properly saying.
"Seems like we will spend some time together..." Roan shrugged.
