Agis immediately shook his head as he said, 'That would be a problem. We can't join the Zasfins since it would definitely reveal our identity. Where have you seen this many Core and Soul Fusion Realm humans before?'

He was right. Everyone in their team has entered the Core and Soul Fusion Realm by now...except for Frandin and Xiria, of course. One must not forget that Xiria and Frandin were still in the Foundation Establishment Realm when they separated from Rean, Kentucky, and Roan.

'It would be easy to connect the dots and tell that we were part of Rean's group back in the Asume Clan.'

Everyone agreed with Agis on that.

Malaka then suggested, 'In that case, do we join the demon beasts' side? To be honest, I think this is an excellent opportunity to see the results of our time in Valaria Swamp. Not to mention that the demon beasts should be as annoyed with the Zasfins as us.'

Frandin didn't like that idea very much as he said, 'Don't forget that Xiria and I are also Zasfins. If this war is won by them, it'll be our race that'll suffer. I don't really feel like fighting my own kin.'

Indeed, Frandin had always made it clear that he didn't like humans. Or, to be more specific, humans who simply accepted their fate as slaves. He never said that he had anything against the Zasfins. He definitely didn't want to go around killing them either.

Xiria was the same. She did like humans more than other Zasfins, but that didn't mean she wanted to fight her own race. What if the war reached her Asume Clan? Wouldn't it put them in peril? She was certain that the demon beasts wouldn't simply let them go. After all, it wouldn't be a surprise for her clan to join the fight against the demon beasts, and the same could be said for Frandin's father, the City Lord.

At that moment, an awkward situation took place. Agis's group didn't care about fighting the Zasfins, but Frandin and Xiria did. With that being said, what should they do?

Calina pondered a bit before saying, 'Maybe that's it.' Everyone looked at her, waiting for Calina to continue. 'We have been moving together for these last few years after separating from Rean and Roan. During this time, our cultivation has improved a lot, especially after the Spiritual Energy of the world has returned to normal. Perhaps, it's the right time to separate.'

Xiria was taken aback as she asked for clarification, 'Do you mean you'll leave Frandin and me?'

Calina shook her head as she cleared up everyone's doubts, saying, 'No. I mean real separation. All of us! It's about time for everyone to take their destinies into their own hands.'

This time, Agis and the others were also left at a loss for words. 'This...'

Indeed, they had relied upon each other ever since Rean, Roan, and Kentucky left. That had obviously brought many benefits to them both in cultivation and combat experience. There was nothing to complain about.

Agis was the first one to agree with Calina, saying, 'I'm up for it. It's obvious that this war is imminent. If we continue with Frandin and Xiria, our wills are bound to clash at some point. With that, separation is the best option. Not only that, but I agree with Calina and will choose somewhere to head alone. I want to see how far I can go by myself.'

Malaka couldn't help but ask, 'What about the Spiritual Sense bending skill? Agis is the only one capable of using it because of his Yang Energy. Calina, Qia, and I can't do it.'

Qia didn't seem to mind that as she said, 'Have you forgotten what Rean and Roan said in the past? If not because of the Spiritual Sense bending skill, we would never be able to do such things as walking in the Zasfins' cities. We'll basically fall into the situation we should have from the start. Besides, I think I'll try to join the demon beasts' side as well. I have my own reasons for that.'

Calina knew what reasons those were, saying, 'You basically think that Rean and Roan are definitely on the demon beasts' side. At the very least, they aren't helping the Zasfins, that's for sure.' Calina then smiled as she said, 'Alright, I'll join them as well. However, I'll head somewhere else where I can do it alone. Let's see who'll find them first.'

Qia agreed with Calina on that, saying with a light grin, 'Let's!'

Agis knew that he had an advantage thanks to Rean's help. However, he wasn't idiotic enough to not use it, so he didn't say he would. 'Very well. Then, that's decided.' Agis then looked at Malaka, Frandin, and Xiria before asking them, 'What about the three of you? What will you do?'

Frandin pondered a bit, saying, 'I'll join the Zasfins to fight the demon beasts. However, there's no need to worry about me. I owe you guys way too much, especially the twins. Although I'll be fighting on the opposite side, I won't talk about you or them.'

Xiria grabbed Frandin's hand and nodded, saying, 'I'll do the same thing. However, I prefer to go together with you.'

Agis and the others didn't seem to be too surprised by that. A lot of time has passed, and it increased the bond between Frandin and Xiria. In the end, they simply got together.

Frandin, of course, agreed with that as he responded with a light smile, 'You are more than welcome.'

Malaka was the last one. 'Well...I'll think about it. I just don't know whether I'll join the war or not. It's not like this is the only option available. Hahaha!'

That night, everyone shared a meal and enjoyed their time. They didn't know when they might see each other again or if they would at all. One must remember that death was always an option. Perhaps they would find the twins before that. Who knows?

The next day, they left the city and headed to a secluded place. There, they shared the spoils of their travel equally and finally departed in different directions...at least that's what happened with Frandin, Xiria, Calina, and Qia. As for Agis, a certain happy-go-lucky girl began to follow him.

Agis's mouth could not help but twitch since Malaka wasn't trying to hide her presence at all. With that, he could not help but ask, "What the hell are you doing?"

Malaka came out and shrugged her shoulders, responding, "I said I was going to think about it, didn't I? I've decided to follow you."

Agis massaged his forehead in response. It was obvious that he hated that idea. "Why?"

Malaka smiled after hearing the question as she replied with only one word.

"Convenience."
