Rean's group continued to explore the area and soon found out that they were inside something like a maze. However, it had several different floors as well. They also looked for weak points where the wall could be broken, but it seemed to be completely sealed with no gaps.

"Since it's a maze, we might as well use the old strategy."

​​

"What strategy?"

Rean then touched the wall on the side before saying.

"We just need to follow the wall. As long as we do that, we will eventually find an exit."

Roan immediately shook his head.

"That's not gonna work? Didn't you hear those mechanical sounds? I'm pretty sure that this maze is changing shape all the time. You will only get even more lost if you do that."

Rovan couldn't help but say.

"I thought those sounds were because of more people being sent inside this maze. With the show happening outside, there should be quite a few cultivators inside already."

Roan agreed with Rovan.

"That's right. However, the more people that are sent inside, the maze continues to keep changing. Did you forget about the thin above the entrance of the room we appeared in? It had different formats from most of the carvings on the walls. I'm pretty sure that was a number. If I'm not wrong, there should be several more rooms like that where others are being teleported."

Rean narrowed his eyes.

"That doesn't explain how you know that the maze is changing form, just that there are more teleportation destinations."

Roan snorted before saying.

"You still doubt it? Very well, let's move back. Don't worry, it will only take 30 or so minutes."

Rean and Rovan had made sure to keep track of the places and paths they took. Obviously, they could return if necessary. Unfortunately, after running back for around 20 minutes, they reached a dead end.

"It's true... There was not supposed to have a dead-end in this place."

Rovan nodded.

"Yes. I'm sure we were supposed to go down from here."

Roan then turned around and began to walk while saying.

"That should be enough to prove what I said. What bullshit follow the walls, and you will be out? Who would make such an idiotic mistake like that? Since this place is a maze, then it was definitely built to keep people inside for sure."

Rean and Rovan quickly followed Roan with Kentucky.

*Roar!*

Suddenly, a roar came from the direction they were heading. Rean's group immediately stopped and looked ahead. Sure enough, several Demon Beasts appeared in their sight a few moments later.

"Were these ones trapped as well?"

However, Rean immediately shook his head.

"They are not real demon beasts."

Rovan and Roan looked at Rean, puzzled. These Demon Beasts had Stage Four cultivations and looked very much alive. They couldn't see anything that indicated that they weren't Demon Beasts. Of course, if Rean said that, then there was a reason. Roan already understood what it was, but Rean had to tell Rovan at least.

"My Light Energy allows me to feel life force. Every living being has it. However, this place is devoid of plants or people. Because of that, any sign of Life Force like you, Kentucky, or Roan, shine like the sun in my eyes. Those demon beasts ahead though... there isn't as much as an iota of Life Force in them. They are not alive at all."

Roan narrowed his eyes as he said.

"Leave the conversation for after. There are three Stage Four Demon Beasts in that pack. We need to take care of them."

Rovan and Rean nodded as they immediately pulled their weapons out. Rovan didn't know how the twins fought, so he didn't try to help them. Instead, he selected one of the enemies and charged at it. However, Rean stopped him before that.

"What? We need to take the initiative!"

Rean agreed with him as he touched Rovan's shoulder.

"I know."

'Life Style, First Form, Enhancement!'

Light Element poured into Rovan's body like torrents, which immediately increased his combat prowess.

"This..."

Rovan could tell just how much his strength suddenly increased. He was pretty sure that he would be able to fight that Middle Stage Core and Foul Fusion Realm cultivator of the Umbral Sect head-on now.

"Stop admiring and go. This skill of mine has a time limit. Once the Light Element in your body is used, your strength will return to normal."

Rovan quickly came back to his senses and charged at one of the demon beasts.

'Searing Split!'

*Swich!*

*Boom!*

*Roar!*

The fake demon beast didn't have intelligence, so it tried to fight Rovan had on. As a result, the very first strike already left a deep cut on it. Rovan felt very good after seeing that. Just now, his speed broke the limit of what he could usually do. Rean's skill was really unique.

Rean and Roan didn't waste time either.

'Life Style, First Form, Enhancement!'

'Death Style, Fifth Form, Mirage Assault!'

Roan then sent his thought to Kentucky, who immediately charged at one of the Demon Beasts!

*Creeee!*

Dark and white flames spread from Kentucky's body as his body became as resistant as metal. Light Element then enhanced his body strength, and he crashed head-on with another Demon Beast.

*Boom!*

Although Kentucky's Minokawa bloodline enhances his defense to a ridiculous degree, the fake demon beast in front still had a Stage Four cultivation. Because of that, Kentucky was forced to retreat after their clash. Nonetheless, his defense proved efficient as he didn't suffer any immediate injury.

Rovan was fighting one of the Demon Beasts as Kentucky held another back. Thanks to that, Rean and Roan were free to deal with the last one. Roan's plan was to quickly get rid of one and join Kentucky or Rovan to finish the rest.

The demon beast pounced at Rean and Roan, ignoring everything else. However, the lack the intelligence made things a lot easier for the twins.

'Death Style, First Movement Form, Shadow Steps!'

The twins flashed out of the demon beast's sight, quickly reappearing on the side. Simultaneously, two clones took Rean and Roan's place and grabbed the beast's attention.

Of course, Rean and Roan could summon not two but four clones. That being said, another two clones of the Mirage Assault appeared on the demon beasts' side together with the real twins.

'Death Style, Third Form, Three Claws of the Dragon!'

Several Dark and White Swords appeared everyone, hitting the demon beasts' critical points all at once.

*Roar!*

The beast screamed in pain as it tried to turn its body. However, the two clones that were pulling the beast's attention acted at that very moment.

'Death Style, First Form, Stellar Piercer!'

The rays of light flashed through the air, hitting both of the beasts' eyes. And just like that, the creature went blind! It then went berserk, attacking everything on all sides.

Unfortunately for the beast, how could such clumsy attacks be of any use against the twins? Taking the chance where the beast couldn't even protect itself, Rean, Roan, and the clones began to showering it with attacks one after another.

The demon beast wasn't that big, so it wasn't worth using the Sixth Form of the Death Style. Besides, the twins' couldn't use other attack skills during the time they made the Light and Dark energies go chaotic. The Mirage Assault Clones, for example, needed a fine control of Light and Dark Elements. If they tried to use the Sixth Form, the clones would immediately disappear.

*Swich, swich, swich, swich...*

*Puchi, puchi, puchi, puchi...*

Finally, the demon beast collapsed on the ground. Rean and Roan didn't waste time to check it, though. As soon as this battle was over, they rushed at Kentucky's opponents. Different from Rovan, Rean and Roan knew how Kentucky acted. They immediately joined forces with the Minokawa and overwhelmed the demon beast it was fighting against.

Last but not least, there was Rovan's Demon Beast. However, Rovan seemed to have almost finished things on his side. Seeing that, Roan nodded, satisfied.

'He might not be a genius of any sect, but for him to reach the Core and Soul Fusion Realm without the sects help shows how much he went through in his life. His battle experience is already very rich. With Rean's Enhancement, it isn't a surprise that he could independently defeat an unintelligent demon beast.'

Rean, Roan, and Kentucky then simply helped Rovan to end what was almost finished already. Rean then looked at the fake demon beasts' corpses and shook his head.

"Sure enough, fake demon beasts don't have Demon Cores. I can't feel the strong life force that demon cores exude after their owners die."

Roan didn't seem to care.

"Doesn't matter. Let me take a look inside their bodies."

However, just as Roan was about to use White Star to open the beast, something strange began to happen. The Demon Beasts started to recover! It was then that Rean, Roan, and Rovan noticed a huge amount of Spiritual Energy coming from the walls, entering the demon beasts' bodies.

Rovan couldn't help but comment.

"Shit! No wonder I thought things were going too well."

Rean nodded as he looked at Roan.

"Should we leave before they recover completely?"

Roan narrowed his eyes before he said.

"You two, help me open this beast's inside for me to take a look."

Rovan and Rean looked at each other and nodded.

"Alright."

They used their own skills to open the body faster than it recovered. Different from Latalia, who was alone, their combined effort surpassed the recovery speed. Especially since Roan was using his Dark Element to help with it. Finally, Roan found what he was looking for.

"There you are."
