Re:Immortal - Chapter 155
Halfway towards back to Omis, Beri could sense the aura of the Holy Land dwindling as she almost reached him. A reluctant expression was on her face as she glanced at the tip of the continent that seemed to be struggling to appear yet was not slowly being pushed back to the void.
Her body also began to revert back to its normal state, the feeling of power and nimbleness also disappeared leaving her feeling disappointed, the pressure on the surviving duo that she brought back also lifted causing them to finally be able to heave a sigh of relief.
Their faces slowly regaining color, yet to their dismay, their cultivation base was sealed leaving them as powerless as a bunch of chicken ready to get slaughtered.
Even so, the duo tried to remain calm as they started at Beri with eyes full of defiance. A few seconds later, they arrived next to an exhausted Omis.
A few beads of sweat were trickling down from his forehead, as he raised his head to look at Beri with a satisfied smile on his face. “Not bad miss Beri.” He praised.
“I should say the same about you master Omis, thanks to you we finally caught the mice that been snooping around.” She said while casting a cold glance towards the duo of cultivators who were now standing helplessly on the deck of the boat.
“It was a team effort.” Smiled Omis before stepping onboard of the boat. His eyes instantly moved towards the dozen corpses that collapsed on the ground with blood seeping out of their pores.
A frown made its way to his face, he did not feel guilty although he was the cause for such a scene. Unbeknownst to him, somewhere along the line, he had become immune to such sights.
Omis had yet to know if it was a good thing. ‘Now is not the time to think about this.’ He shook his head as she tried to rid his mind of such useless thoughts before turning towards the duo who were giving him intense death stares.
“Now what should we do with them?” He said with a smile.
Stepping closer towards him, Beri’s hand gently touched his shoulder as she spoke. “I suppose an emergency meeting is due with both our members and yours.”
“En, it’s a shame our date has to end so abruptly.” He said.
“There’s always next time.” She whispered as she moved closer to his ear. “Hopefully we won’t be interrupted then.” She chuckled.
“I look forward to that then.” He said before glancing at the boat and asking.
“What do we do with the boat? It seems to be some sort of treasure.” He added.
“You can have it, you did most of the work after all.” Said Beri.
“Don’t mind if I do.” Smiling, Omis waved his hand over it as he sent the two surviving cultivators floating towards Beri before storing the boat in his spatial storage.
Seeing him do that, the surviving cultivators were slack-jawed, their expressions full of disbelief as they stared at Omis with undisguised fear alongside a tint of awe.
“Let’s go.” He said before turning towards the cloudy borders of the heavenly realm.
“En.” Beri nodded happily as she followed behind while dragging along the two cultivators.
The group then effortlessly passed through the Heavenly realms formation as they reappeared in the Divine Capital’s skies. As soon as they reappeared, the surviving cultivators who still had shocked expressions on had their gaze turn somewhat excited as they glanced around them without saying anything.
Wooosh! Wooosh! Woooosh! Woooosh! Woooosh!
Suddenly, five figures appeared abruptly in front of them seemingly out of thin air. Omis’s face had a leisure smile on it as he glanced at the newcomers all of which he recognized.
“Master Krano, Mister Lacess, Butler Rolus.” He nodded in their direction before turning around towards Addi and Tizzy and giving them a wide grin.
“My lord.” Respectfully bowed Beri before nodding at Lacess.
“We sensed a new aura peculiar aura appear within the heavenly realm.” Said Krano as he glanced at the two cultivators behind Beri whom he failed to recognize.
‘A God realm cultivators senses sure are a frightening thing.’ Noted Omis, they had barely appeared before they were flocked by everyone.
“En, we managed to catch a couple of mice that have been snooping around for a while now.” Proudly said Omis.
Hearing that, Krano’s eyes alongside all those present turned sharp as they turned to stare at the two cultivators. Feeling the pressure from the gazes of so many God Realm cultivators caused them to break out into cold sweat as their eyes kept darting while they nervously fidgeted.
“They came from outside of the realms?” Asked Tizzy with a frown.
“En,” nodded Beri in confirmation.
“You think they are from the same side of the ‘Hunters’?” Asked Lacess with a growl, his large lion body looked intimidating as he bared his fangs at the outsiders.
“That’s a possibility, but we still don’t know.” Answered Omis with a shake of his head.
“I suggest we take them back to the dungeons first to start the interrogation.” Said Addi, a cruel smile that brought chills down the two cultivator’s spine was plastered on his face.
No one seemed to disagree with his decision. Soon the group of God-ranked entities disappeared from the skies and reappeared within the last floor of the Divine palace, a large damp underground dungeon that was built within the mountain.
The entire dungeon was surprisingly unguarded by anyone, only a few dimly lit torches were placed on the walls outside of each cell. No one was surprised at the seeming lack of guards.
The Divine capital’s dungeon was special after all. An array was carved under each cell which rendered anyone who was locked within powerless, alongside a set of heavy metal chains made out of special material to precisely lock cultivators away we’re on the walls.
Both of the outsider cultivators were put on two different cells and bound to the wall, their cultivation bases sealed alongside the array and the chains rendered them as hopeless as mere mortals.
“So who’s going to be in charge of the interrogation?” Asked Tizzy.
“Don’t look at me, I have no experience in torture and whatnot.” Replied Omis with a shake of his head as he stepped back.
Addi on the other hand had a devilish grin on his face as he spoke. “I don’t mind doing it. I’m quite curious to see what secrets they may be hiding.” He said in a tone that sent shivers down everyone’s spine.
“That sounds creepy as hell.” Muttered Omis.
