Death… And Me Chapter 1957 How Else Would I Notice You?

The woman quickly nodded in response and pointed at the formations that held the living beings. "They're all there. A total of 500 souls. 300 demon beasts and 200 humanoids."

The devil looked at them and nodded with a satisfied expression. In fact, he had already counted them even before coming down. "Hehe! See? All you needed was a little push, and you'll definitely meet the quota. If you had put more effort last time, I wouldn't have to make up for the numbers by grabbing a few members of your group."

"Ahhhh!"

Suddenly, the woman heard the scream of one of her people and immediately looked over. It was then that she saw another devil holding a man by the head. The man was only in the Nascent Soul Realm, so he couldn't possibly fight the Transition Realm devil.

Following that, the devil began to extract his soul, much to the woman's shock. "W-What are you doing?! We reached the number of souls this year! Release him!"

*Bam!*

However, she was suddenly struck by a ma.s.s of Dark Element, making her body crash against the building. The leader among the devils wasn't just higher in cultivation. In pure talent and overall strength, he was stronger than the woman by far. Even in the same realm, she wouldn't have a chance, let alone when his cultivation was higher. "Who are you to give me orders?"

Fortunately for her, he did hold back, so she only suffered a few injuries. She then used her Divine Energy to fight the Dark Element, which was trying to rampage inside her body as she looked at the man's soul being extracted. She could tell that the devil was purposely acting slowly. The difference in cultivation between the devil and the cultivator was definitely enough to extract his soul in a few seconds. However, there was nothing she could do but watch.

The leader snorted before saying, "Hmph! This is for your own good. Since you needed some of your group to die to do things right, we better make sure it stays that way. If you achieve the necessary number of souls next time, then I might consider letting your group remain intact."

He then looked at the devil with the person in his grasp. "Thael, make sure not to do it properly. These guys need to understand that they can't disappoint us, ever!"

Thael laughed in response. "Hahaha! Leave it to me. This guy's soul isn't that bad, actually. I will savor it slowly. Clanti, just don't forget that 100 of the demon beast souls are mine."

Clanti was obviously the leader's name. "Even if I took those souls, what would you do about it?"

Thael's smile disappeared as he looked at Clanti. Yet, he didn't say anything. It seemed that the hierarchy there was very well defined between the devils.

"Hahaha!" Surprisingly, Clanti just laughed right after. "It's just a joke. If I don't give you your souls, the elders will definitely complain later." With that, he looked at the other three devils on his side. "Let's eat. Today, I'll have my breakthrough to the Peak Stage of the Transition Realm."

However, just as they were about to move, Clanti felt something. His eyes turned in the twins' direction even though he couldn't see anything there. "Who are you? Come out right now!" Dark Element gathered in his hand before bursting into many Dark Element arrows that flew in the twins' direction.

Rean and Roan were quite surprised by that. They had no intention of intervening from the start. Sure, there was one devil attacking a humanoid guy and extracting his soul. However, there were many humanoids there that had been captured as well inside the formations. It didn't seem like any of them wanted to be there. That meant the humanoids who were in charge of that place weren't that good to start with, so why should they help them? Even if that wasn't the case, it was better to not reveal their presence. Unfortunately for them, it still didn't work.

Roan narrowed his eyes for a moment before he waved his hand. The Dark Element in the arrows immediately lost control before they all dissipated at the same time. Using Dark Element against Roan while being at a much lower cultivation realm. That was ridiculous...

Rean and Roan knew they had been found, so they simply deactivated their Light and Divine Sense bending skills. There wasn't much reason to be afraid since the difference in strength between the twins and those devils was enormous as well. At the very least, the twins' couldn't feel the presence of any other Divine Senses stronger than themselves.

When Clanti saw that, his demeanor immediately changed. It was easy to tell that the 'devils' in front of him had much higher cultivation. The way that Roan dissipated his arrows also proved that he wasn't their match. Nevertheless, he wasn't afraid. "This is the Huopis Clan's territory. Other devils shouldn't be here. If you want more souls, you better go somewhere else."

For the humanoid woman, the situation didn't seem any better, though. Stronger devils appeared, and they didn't seem to be from nearby. That meant that not only the living beings could have their soul extracted, but she and her group might be included as well.

Thael also stopped to extract the soul of the Nascent Soul guy, afraid that his lack of attention to the matter might end in his death. Devils weren't exactly known for being amicable with each other, after all.

Rean then looked at Roan after that. 'What now? I don't think I revealed our location at any moment.'

Roan agreed with him. 'Me neither. Let's ask them and see.'

"How did you know we were here?" Rean and Roan were more interested in why they were found out at that moment.

Clanti could only look at Rean and Roan in response. He found that quite a dumb question. "Only other devils have Dark Element here, so how else would I notice you?"
