Death… And Me-Chapter 1982 Need To Check First

"Clan master, we've arrived." Titia, Doohan, and Salahi quickly paid their respects to Rui, who just nodded back at them.

Rean and Roan looked at the three and immediately saw their cultivations. Titia and Doohan were at the Peak Stage of the Void Tempering Realm. As for Salahi, he was at the Late Stage, just like the twins themselves.

Fagund then took the initiative and explained what they intended to do. "These two devils here are Gean and Doan. I have asked them to participate in the Underworld Soul Guiding Contest. Naturally, that means two of you won't be able to take part in it since only three slots are available."

"This..." The three devils were taken aback as they looked at Rean and Roan. They obviously didn't like that at all. "Young Master, you can't take this opportunity away from us! We've been training Soul Guidance ever since it was decided we would be the ones representing the clan."

"I agree." Tapir suddenly intervened. "That's why the clan master decided to have you five go to the Path of Reincarnation and check which one is better. If you three perform better than these two devils, you'll obviously retain your spots."

Titia, Doohan, and Salahi couldn't complain about that. In fact, they would eventually ask for such a thing to prove they were more worthy. Since it looked like the other elders weren't convinced with Rean and Roan, then that was perfect. "Yes, Elder Tapir. We can depart anytime."

Rean then raised his hand after that. "That's good and all. But let's not forget that my brother and I were born in the Realm of Gods. We've never been to the Path of Reincarnation before."

[Well, at least not recently. Hahaha!] Sister Orb added from within the Dimensional Realm. However, the others couldn't hear her.

Rean's mouth twitched a bit after hearing that, but he ignored her words. "Naturally, we've never guided any soul. You'll need to explain to us how to do it."

Even Roan wasn't very confident. After all, his job on the other side of the Universe was quite different. He also guided souls, but he went out to bring them to the Path of Reincarnation himself. He did have an idea, though. 'Perhaps I can use the same method I used to extract souls from their dead bodies.' Though, he didn't mention that out loud.

Titia, Doohan, and Salahi obviously found that ridiculous. "You don't even know that? Then why are we wasting our time at all?!"

"Enough!" Rui immediately stopped them. "If it's this easy to win, then just go there and beat these two devils. You three are Light Devils with high aptitudes. Since Gean and Doan don't know how to do it, then it should be much easier to keep your slots. Now, you'll go there and prove it. Understood?"

The three nodded without thinking twice. If anything, at least they could use this chance to train a little more around the Path of Reincarnation before the contest two years later.

"Tapir." Rui looked at Tapir right after. "You will bring them there. Get a few more Void Tempering Realm devils from the devil branches to keep an eye on these five while they're there."

Tapir didn't mind. "Yes, Clan Master."

Hearing that, Fagund quickly took the opportunity. "Clan master! I want to go too. I wish to watch the test between those five with my eyes."

Rui thought it was a good opportunity for Fagund to learn, so he simply nodded. "Very well, then you go and try it yourself. See if you can guide a few souls. It'll be useful for you in the future."

"Thank you, clan master." Fagund was happy to hear that. After he successfully made contact with the angels in the Realm of Gods, it seemed like his great-grandfather gained more confidence in him.

For the twins, that was an even better deal. The idea was to release Beelzebub in some hidden place near the Path of Reincarnation without anyone noticing. It definitely wouldn't be that easy to do so if they had to wait for that contest. However, if they went now, there shouldn't be as many eyes in there as it would be in two years. That would give Beelzebub a headstart as well. "Both of us can leave straight away as well."

"Very well." Rui didn't seem to have anything else to talk about. "Tapir, you go with them."

Tapir quickly used his Spatial Powers and grabbed Rean's group, including Fagund. The same happened to Titia and the others. After that, he made a cutting motion with his hand in the air, opening a fissure in space. With that, he jumped inside with everyone and disappeared.

Behind, Rui was left with a few doubts. 'Too much luck involved for it to be a plan of other Elder Devils. However, something still doesn't feel right.'

"Losferu." Rui looked at another one of the High Devils of his Light Devil Clan. "You go after Tapir as well. Let me know if you find anything out of the norm. As low as the chances may be, I don't want to risk losing our clan's participants while they're near the Path of Reincarnation."

Losferu was another Light Devil. In fact, he looked quite human as well. The difference was that he couldn't summon more than four wings on his back. Nevertheless, his position in the clan was very high. "Yes, clan master." Immediately, he also opened a fissure in space and entered it.

Tapir didn't head straight to the Path of Reincarnation. Instead, he stopped by the devil branches to get some help. Because of his cultivation, he couldn't enter that area, so he needed more devils at the Void Tempering Realm to follow Rean, Titia, and the others. As for this devil branch, it was the place in the Light Devil Clan where normal devils lived.

After enlisting ten devils for the task, Tapir once again dove into a space fissure with everyone.
