As he hovered inside the do, he couldn't help but be amazed by her ability .
They could see the five demon kings just outside their hiding spot, but they couldn't see them.
'This is a scary ability. Even my system cloaking isn't this undetectable,'
To be hidden from such powerful beings was impressive on its own.
In addition, the fact that even Lilith hadn't co looking for this divine beast suggested two things: either she didn't care about them at all, or she couldn't detect them because of Kaelin's power.
'Why didn't she use this against before?' He glanced at her, noticing the effort it took to maintain the do.
This instantly answered his question
As the demons continued their discussion, Reign's mind raced.
This beings were supposed to be rare and hard to find, yet five of them were present here, showing just how much impact Lilith had in the world.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say her existence was forcing everyone to adapt, pushing the world toward unknown changes.
What those changes would bring, only ti would reveal. But one thing was certain—a storm was coming, and at its center was her.
'I'll make sure to kill her the next ti we et,' he thought, his expression darkening.
Just recalling her betrayal left a bad taste in his mouth. But for that to happen, he knew he needed to get stronger—much stronger.
Right now, he had a few options. The first was to keep leveling up, pushing his power higher bit by bit. The other was to create his third body as soon as possible.
'These five should give a lot of experience points,' he thought, his eyes locking onto the demon kings.
To most, these demons would look like terrifying beings, capable of wiping out entire cities on a whim.
They commanded respect and fear wherever they went. But for Reign, they were just potential food.
However, he knew his current body wasn't enough to take them on—not yet.
'I could use my original body,' he thought.
The attack speed and power of his original body were off the charts—so fast and lethal that even these Demon Kings wouldn't realize what hit them.
If he'd been using his original body from the start, even that boy wouldn't have stood a chance, given that his "True Death" actually work.
Now that he heard that even Lilith couldn't kill the ta-human, he started to doubt that chance. But he still had the fruit with him, so it wasn't like he was out of options.
'I should just wait for now. I'm not sure it's a good idea to transfer souls with these three around.' His attention turned on the divine beasts. They might not be hostile now, but he still couldn't fully trust them.
"Let's land," he broke the silence.
The trio looked at him, their faces showing uncertainty. After thinking it over for a mont, they nodded and decided to follow his lead.
"Let's hide for now and wait for them to leave this place," Ember suggested.
Reign didn't argue with them because he could see the logic in her words.
Instead of worrying about the demon kings, he was more focused on tricking the trio into teaching him about teleportation.
He was confident that if he understood the basics, the system would give him the boost he needed.
With that in mind, they headed down the hole. Ember explained that they had built a mini base underground. It was pretty cliche, but effective nonetheless.
While they slowly descended, Reign started asking more questions to get a better grasp of the situation.
He was shocked to learn he had been gone much longer than he thought, which ant the changes in the world might be bigger than he anticipated.
If it weren't for their strange sense of ti, this divine beast might not have bothered waiting for him at all.
Fortunately, a year and a day didn't feel all that different for them.
It was sothing only beings who had lived for tens of thousands of years could understand.
Even Reign couldn't comprehend that feeling. Back in the river, he had been affected just by walking for months, but for these old beings, it was nothing.
When they landed, they followed Kaelin through a narrow tunnel.
When they landed, they headed into a tunnel and walked through it until they found themselves inside a chamber filled with thin black glass.
"What are these things?" he asked. Experience new stories on empire
"This thing was created by Kaelin. It hides our aura and presence," Ember replied.
"Wow, your ability is really useful," Reign said.
It was ant to be a complint, but it had a different effect on her.
The petite girl's cheeks flushed bright pink, and she suddenly darted to a corner, curling up with her knees hugged to her chest and her face buried in her arms.
Nerys chuckled softly, "Don't mind her! She gets a little shy when soone praises her."
"Really? She seed pretty arrogant when I faced her. Her personality was really annoying. I had to beat the crap out of her just to relieve my stress."
Ember rolled her eyes. "You do realize that she was just mimicking your personality, right? If she acted annoying, then that's because you are one."
"I..." Reign wanted to reply, but he decided to keep his mouth shut, knowing full well that arguing with won would just drain him.
Nerys walked forward and nudged Kaelin gently. "Co on, Kaelin! It's okay to accept complints. You're amazing!"
Kaelin peeked out from her corner, her cheeks still flushed, but a shy smile slowly spread across her face.
"Really?" she mumbled.
"Absolutely!" the other two divine beasts encouraged her.
Looking at them, Reign could see they were close, likely from being stuck in the trial ground for who knows how long.
But he didn't linger on them for too long. Instead, he touched the black glass.
"System, analyze this," he commanded. This could be useful if he could integrate it with his system cloaking.
If he could master this ability, he would be completely undetectable.
'Co on, just a little more,'
A soft beep sounded in his mind.
