Chapter 2775: Back To Work

The fact that Rean had powerful healing skills wasn't a secret anymore at this point. But no one thought it to be this outrageous. Sure, someone like Sophia could possibly reconnect a head with her powerful Light Element, but even she couldn't make it as easy as Rean did. Soul Gem then looked at Leandro with a dark expression on his face. "It was you, wasn't it?" "Hmph!" Leandro snorted in response. "Believe me. Nothing would have made me more satisfied than to have cut your head myself! Too bad I do not have the capability right now. Whatever hit you came out of nowhere. Even I couldn't feel its approach."
"He isn't lying," Kafan confirmed. "Gragatou, Black Locust, and I were really close to you, and even we didn't notice it before that blade appeared. Whoever attacked you is definitely much stronger than any of us."
Soul Gem was taken aback. He quickly looked at Leandro, who nodded back at him. "You are thinking the same thing as me. It could only be one of them."
"One of what?" Black Locust asked in a frigid manner. He didn't like the idea of an invisible blade looming on his head at all.
"The rest of you probably thought about it already. What kind of expert could pass by your senses and attack under your nose? Only a Celestial Realm expert could do such a thing," Soul Gem explained.
"So they truly exist..." Gragatou sighed as he looked up. So far, no one was really capable of proving the Celestial Realm existed. They believed it, but without an example, no one could say it for certain.
Soul Gem then noticed that a barrier of Spatial Power and Laws was surrounding him. Not only that, there were other barriers made of other elements and laws. All of them were the Semi- Celestials' doings. "Are you using it to feel the approach of another attack?"
Kafan nodded. "Obviously. We can't simply stay unguarded."
Leandro wasn't doing the same, though. "You can all stop already. Unless there are two Celestial Realm experts waiting outside, a new attack won't come anytime soon."
"How come?" Sophia asked.
At the moment, Rean was using both his Light and Divine Sense Bending skills. He unleashed them even before he began to heal Soul Gem back to life. After all, he didn't know if more attacks would come, so he first just hid everything near Soul Gem's body and was still doing so
now.
Soul Gem looked at Romario. He heard from Rean through Divine Sense about his real identity. "Rean said I could trust in your abilities, Trulin. Give me a hand. It will be faster with your knowledge and cultivation."
"I will also stay close and keep my barrier of dark laws," said Kafan. "I don't know if the guy outside noticed Soul Gem came back to life or not. But if he did, I want to increase the chances of keeping Soul Gem safe."
"I'll help," Gragatou also kept his own barrier.
"Hmph!" Black Locust followed suit.
The rest of the Semi-Celestials were told to return to their positions and recollect all the small devices. The invaders watching from outside might think they couldn't do it anymore.
They weren't wrong. Outside, Flavio watched as the hundreds of thousands of small triangular devices were taken back by their users. That made him relax a little. Still, the area where Soul Gem died was completely empty on the screens. "Hmph! They are so afraid of dying they are hiding themselves now. It won't be long before they perish."
"Sir, wouldn't someone else know how to do the same thing?" One of Flavio's subordinates asked. "That guy sir killed might not be the only one. Perhaps we can send some troops to check it, just in case."
"No need," Flavio shook his head. "Look at this Universe. It is already getting very unstable. The reports talked about how it was split into two sides, which explains why the Grape Vortex is working this fast. I don't want to risk losing our troops because of a miscalculation. Besides, I only killed the guy because I had a bad feeling. It didn't mean he could truly do anything to the Grape Vortex."
"Understood." The subordinate nodded and didn't speak anymore.
