DEATH… AND ME

and then, they would come out to be treated and have their Soul Purity checked.
It was during one of these moments that Roan met Liza and Luna face to face.

He then used his Spiritual Sense to talk with the two girls, which frightened the duo.
They couldn ’t believe that Rean and Roan were really there.
Of course, Liza only knew Rean, not Roan.
However, because Liza had seen Rean ’s memories before, she knew who Roan was.

Both Liza and Luna began to cry as they made their way to him.
However, before they could take more than a few steps, Roan hastily stopped them.
After all, Liza and Luna weren ’t supposed to know him.
After explaining to the two that it would be a risk to get closer to each other, the two girls nodded and held themselves back.

Roan also used that chance to tell them that he would bring everyone out with him when the preparations were ready.
The problem was the treatment the Zasfins gave to the kids.
Liza and Luna were just two of the very few kids that understood that this place wasn ’t the paradise the other kids believed it to be.
The majority truly thought they are doing a good thing since the Zasfins always treated them well.
That being said, Roan couldn ’t go around telling the rest that he would bring them away since most of them would denounce his plans.

One of Roan ’s objectives was to think of a way to deal with it.
Then again, he already had a plan, so he was only waiting for Sister Orb to finish analyzing the formations.

Another point that piqued Rean and Roan ’s interest in this place was the extra tunnel Clad mentioned to always be guarded by many high-level Zasfins.
According to Clad, he was allowed to enter it once with a group of other Zasfins to work inside. 

There, he noticed something that looked like a giant tree made of white light.
Clad was truly shocked when he saw that since it existed underground.
From what Clad mentioned, the tree was several kilometers high and long.
He was sure that the huge amount of Spiritual Energy all came from that tree.
One could imagine how enormous the cave it was located in was.
In fact, Clad ’s job was to help expand that same cave so that the tree could grow even bigger.

Naturally, it didn ’t take long for Rean and Roan to understand that the tree was responsible for the lack of Spiritual Energy on the planet.
As for how many of those trees existed around the world, they had no clue.
It would depend on how many empires, celestial lands, and other equivalent powers existed around the world.
Nevertheless, the tree owned by the Soul Rulers was bound to be one of the biggest, if not the biggest, out of all of them.

The only doubt now was whether there was anything they could do with it.
They would only find that answer once they teleported inside to check.
Fortunately, after coming in and out of the tunnels so many times, Clad was able to pinpoint the exact location of the tunnel that led to the tree.
After that, they only needed to use the Soul Gem Teleport Circuitry and keep teleporting in the right direction until they hit the mark.
It was basically the same plan they used back to enter that Rank Five Bloodline Trial.

Of course, their discoveries didn ’t stop there.
After two mundane years, Rean had finally heard of the Rank Ten Bloodline Trial!
