Chapter 2554: Free Time

As one could imagine, the negotiations between the Shadow Ferals and the Holamenor Clan weren't exactly a walking in the park. One thing was to agree on a pact of no offense and alliance. The other one was to decide all the details regarding this pact between both sides.

Be it Waremis or Iolanda, neither one wanted to give a single extra inch than necessary. Waremis was indeed a seasoned warrior. Even with the overwhelming number of Shadow Ferals, while only he and Fuhiro were present, he didn't falter even a little. He died once and reincarnated with his memories, so he wasn't afraid of such things.

Rean did his best to calm both sides while giving his own ideas regarding each side's requirements. He did put up two sects in the past, after all.

It wasn't until several hours of discussion were held and lots of curses were thrown at each other that both sides finally reached a middle ground. They truly went through the smallest possible details of this never-seen-before alliance between angels and shadow ferals.

Rean then stated several points of the agreement. "Then it is decided. The Shadow Ferals will have part of the Holamenor Clan's land to use. They will be free to do whatever they want there as long as it doesn't go against the interests of the Clan of the Angel Race. Shadow Ferals, although having Dark Element as Affinity, are still Angel Beasts, so I don't think they would do it anyway."

"It is also agreed that the share of the bloodline to help strengthen the Holamenor Clan's Shadow Feral Bloodline will be achieved through mutual agreement of willing Clan members and Shadow Ferals. In case neither side finds enough partners, the alliance will select together those who shall carry this task."

"Another point is..." Rean continued the statement for a few minutes. Both Waremis and Iolanda nodded at each point, having already discussed that. Although you couldn't say it was the best agreement for any of the parties, it was the best when you took both into account. Further adjustments would be necessary in the future, but the base for the pact was properly solidified.

"Thus, I conclude my part. Are both sides in agreement with what is said?" Rean finished with a question.

"Yes." Waremis and Iolanda nodded and answered a the same time.

Following that, Waremis and Iolanda used some kind of secret technique of the angel races that binds both bloodlines together, making it impossible for either side to betray the other. Initially, the agreement would last ten thousand years. After that, both sides would be able to decide if they wanted to continue together or go their own ways.

Seeing that, Rean smiled. "Phew... finally everything is over. I was sweating cold here, thinking that I wouldn't get the Holamenor Clan's Herbs anymore because of what happened. Hahaha!"

Waremis glanced at him and snorted. "That shall be the case if you don't fulfill your part of the agreement."

Rean nodded without much concern. "Don't worry, we will."

He then changed the topic. "So, when are you guys leaving? Straight away?"

Iolanda nodded. "With the pact between Waremis and me, we have secured both sides of the agreement. My Shadow Feral Race doesn't have anything else to do in this place, so there is no point in standing here anymore."

Waremis agreed with her. "Same for me. I want to go back to the clan and pass over the news as well as organize everything for them to settle down. The sooner, the better."

"What about you?" Lotar asked him.

"As I mentioned before, I will stay in the Azum Dimensional Realm," Rean explained. "With the equipment Lostrai was using to make the copies of souls destroyed, everyone will now be able to enter and leave through the altars, so it isn't dangerous anymore. To make sure things continue like that, I will keep an eye on Lostrai until Roan comes to the Heavens."

Rean didn't have another choice. With the Shadow Ferals leaving, there wasn't anyone else to keep Lostrai locked down. Rean could make a formation or something like that to achieve the same objective. However, he was afraid Lostrai would find a way out. After all, it is obvious that Lostrai learned a lot about Circuitry Formations in this place.

Waremis narrowed his eyes. He heard everything about how the Shadow Ferals allowed Rean to keep Lostrai for himself. Waremis wondered what kind of thing Lostrai was, but in the end, he simply shook his head. Thanks to Rean, his Holamenor Clan got the entire Shadow Feral Race under their wing, which is countless times better than having just the queen alone. "I'll keep some people at the exit of the Temporal Path. As soon as Roan arrives, I'll send him here."

Iolanda then approached Rean with a smile. "See? I can't really believe I agreed to share my Shadow Feral bloodline with these guys. However, that shows how competent I am. So, have you changed your mind? I can still bear our own little hybrids. Believe me, the Shadow Feral Bloodline is very good."

Rean's mouth twitched. "Ahem... There... There is no need. Thank you for the offer, though."

"Tch, you don't know what is good for you," Iolanda complained and turned around. "The offer will always be there if you change your mind."

Waremis, Lotar, and Iolanda then led the Shadow Ferals and Fuhiro to the nearest altar in Kanlas City. From there, they all teleported outside. The shock the angels felt in the Azum City was obvious for everyone to see. Fortunately, with Waremis there, everything went smoothly, and the Shadow Ferals were allowed to teleport to the Holamenor Clan.

Naturally, the sudden arrival of the Shadow Ferals became a news that spread far and wide, propelling many Archangels to visit the Holamenor Clan to ask for an explanation. However, that wasn't Rean's problem anymore.

Rean and Kentucky then kept Lostrai by their side while returning to Kanlas City. "Well, guess we have some free time now."
