Death… And Me-Chapter 2019 Deal!

'A living being?' It wasn't only Luman who was shocked by Rean's words. The same could be said for Abelha and the barely awake Librao. It didn't matter how they looked at Luman. He was definitely a Devil... or so they thought. 

Yet, Luman suddenly opened his mouth and started to laugh out loud. "Hahahahaha! Impressive! I've never thought someone would be able to see through my disguise. I even met an Elder Devil before, and he also couldn't see through it."

The reason Rean could see it was quite simple, Life Force. All living beings had Life Force in them, and that included the Devils. However, it was clear as day the difference between the Life Force of Devils and the Living Beings of the Realm of Gods. Even the Light Devils were no exception. It's just that Rean was the only one with a high enough Light Element Affinity to be able to see and feel that.

Luman then slightly released his Spatial Lock, allowing Rean to talk more freely. "Since you can see through me, you definitely aren't a Devil, or are you?"

Rean glanced at Roan, who nodded back at him before he began to speak. "That's correct. My brother here and I are also Living Beings, just like you."

Luman got close to them and scanned their bodies with his Divine Sense and Soul Power. Still, he absolutely couldn't see any trace of the Realm of Gods in them. "I thought my disguise was good, but yours truly surpasses my imagination. No, my is quite good too. I just don't know how you saw through it. First of all, are you really from the Realm of Gods? Or could it be you used your previous words to buy time? Show me."

Rean didn't mind it and immediately changed his body and soul back to their original forms. Roan, obviously, did the same thing. Now the two Devils, who looked very different from each other, returned to their original twin brothers' appearance where only their hair colors were different. Obviously, Abelha, Librao, and Luman could see straight away that Rean and Roan were truly Living Beings.

'So it was them all along!' Abelha and Librao obviously understood that Rean's group was the Living Being Souls they were looking for from the start. There was no such thing as Devils imprisoning Living Beings in their Dimensional Realm. 

Luman was just as surprised by Rean and Roan's transformation. "Impressive, impressive. So... How did three Living Beings from the Realm of Gods end in this Swamp of no Return. Were you thrown here against your will or something like that?"

"Before that..." Rean looked at Abelha and Librao, "What do you intend to do with them? I mean, you were trying to hide the fact that you were a Living Being, right? Is it really okay to allow them to know your true identity?"

Luman shrugged his shoulder in response. "Wasn't it you who used plain words to say that I'm also a Living Being from the Realm of Gods in front of them? If not, you could have just used a simple Divine Sense Message. They wouldn't have heard anything at all. It is obvious that you wanted them to hear it too."

Touche!

Rean scratched the back of his head helplessly. "Fine, I just thought that it would have been better if others heard about it. If I had used a Divine Sense message, you might have killed us straight away to prevent us from telling others the truth. From what I could see, it seemed like their mother... errrr... Labina, was it? Anyway, it seemed like she was pretty much someone that could give you trouble. You could say that I was just betting that it would increase my group's chances of survival."

Luman nodded, not surprised at all by Rean's words. "In the face of overwhelming odds, any extra advantage has to be taken. Indeed, their mother would be quite an issue to deal with. She lives in the old ruins not too far away from here. It's just that we haven't seen each other for quite some time."

Luman then looked at Abelha and Librao. "Still, I would rather feel your mother's wrath than let you go back and tell her that I'm a Living Being from the Realm of Gods. I wonder if I should just get rid of you two straight away. But then again, Little Abelha here developed into a quite fine lady. Even if you are a Devil and I'm not, I do think we can have a lot of fun together. Too bad that you wouldn't really be able to bear more children for me."

Abelha didn't know what to do. She obviously didn't have to 'serve' Luman, but she didn't want to die here either. Especially since her brother was also here. "Y-You could always ask mother for compensation. Be-besides, this is the Swamp of No Return. What difference would it make even if my mother knew your true identity? You two have similar strengths, so no one can do anything to you anyway. I'm sure you have something you would love to get from her."

Luman nodded excitedly. "True, true! If we were outside the Swamp of no Return, all of you would be dead already. Too bad no one can leave this place once inside. Even that Elder Devil from the past could not do so. Very well, I shall request some compensation from her."

It was then that Rean raised his hand. "If reproduction is your problem, I can help with it. This Devil Transformation that I used isn't just a facade. We truly become almost perfect Devils. That means if you use it, you can definitely have a feel descendants with her. How about that? I'll teach you my Devil Transformation, and you let me and my brother leave. Does it sound good?" Rean wasn't lying. He could truly make it possible.

Abelha felt a chill on her back while Luman's eyes shined with excitement. "Deal!"
