Maya used her divine sense to spot the two Ibro referred to, as she asked in doubt:

"You didn't come here to ask Randor for his final answer, right?"

"No, I came here to ask him for help, or to be specific I want to ask Emy for help."

Maya looked in doubt towards him as her female instincts rose up without warning. Ibro was oblivious to this as he moved towards that house in the far distance. 

His and Maya's appearance caught the attention of the lovely couple who were sitting in the open air outside that house. As the couple recognized Ibro and Maya, they moved from their place and approached them as well, so both couples met midway from the house.

"Welcome King Ibro, I didn't know you would honor myself today with a visit."

"Hi Randor, I just had some issues and wanted some help from the two of you."

The comfortable look over the couple faces changed abruptly as Randor asked with concern:

"What happened?"

"It's a long story, to cut it short, I was isolated at the gate world and can't go back to any world inside this universe. So, I thought of coming here and see if you have any way to help me out."

Emy smiled warmly as she said:

"I have some return scrolls to my city and some major cities in the world I was at. But except for this, I don't have any other return scrolls for any city for any other world."

Ibro's eyes shone as his bet won, he knew that someone like Emy wouldn't move around without returning scrolls to her world at the least. 

Ibro just needed an access to go to one world in this universe other than this gate world, so he could move from there in his search journey all over the universe.

"Thanks, these scrolls will do, I'm very grateful for you."

Emy took out a group of scrolls and handed them over to Ibro when Maya took them while smiling and saying gently:

"Thanks for your help, it's really appreciated."

Ibro looked towards Maya awkwardly as he didn't know what was going on, Randor broke this awkward situation as he said:

"About the offer you gave to me earlier…"

Ibro raised his hand as he interrupted him while saying:

"Take your time and don't feel any pressure, after all we still have a long time ahead of us."

"…"

Randor swallowed what he was going to say, but Emy said instead:

"He was going to tell you that he agreed to the offer, he just needed to live calmly here with me till the approach of his hour, then you can help your little friend and give his system Randor's soul."

Ibro looked towards Randor in surprise as he didn't expect him to take his decision this fast, so he said in appreciation:

"I'm really glad you agreed."

"It's me who should be grateful, ling Ibro, as you gave me a way out of my desperate fate. I expect my life to end in less than a year, so is there anything you need me to prepare for that maneuver?"

Ibro didn't know the answer to that question, so he asked his system:

'Is there anything required for moving Randor's soul into Doom's crippled system?'

'No, I only need the place of Randor's death, that's all.'

Ibro couldn't say these words to Randor, so he improvised:

"There are no required steps, so enjoy and don't stress yourself."

Randor smiled while Emy said:

"We are really grateful for your help, king Ibro. If you ever needed our help again, feel free to come by."

Ibro smiled back while noticing that faint anger over Maya's face, which he neglected completely while saying:

"Thanks, we will move now, till next time then."

Ibro then moved from this place with the company of Maya, who was still angry for her own reasons that Ibro couldn't guess. Once they both appeared in front of the teleportation gate, Ibro then said:

"You wait for me here, I will go back and use the return scroll and go to any world other than that gate world."

Despite her anger, she asked in doubt:

"Won't you risk losing your access to the gate world if you went to any other world in that universe?"

Ibro pointed out to the portal in front of them as he said:

"As long as I have this gate, there is nothing to worry about."

Ibro just vanished from his world when Maya shouted angrily:

"Don't come back here without my little Draky."

Ibro appeared in the spot he just left while Maya's shout was still echoing in his ears. He sighed, dealing with girls was harder than dealing with these demons and fiends, and might be riskier.

'You know you can use the time and space jump function to select a certain moment in time and go back to it before going to explore that heart. I think you should hurry and end that imminent threat of the incoming demon's army and that scary fiend.'

Ibro thought about it, but that bad omen appeared strongly again. Without his control, the words that Ren said to him while he received the first heritage piece from him rang in his head.

'Listen to me carefully little boy, never trust anyone outside our human kin. No one will seek for our benefit except us. I know a lot of hidden secrets, but I can't share with you now. 

You are too weak, boy. You only use rudimentary forms of humain energy. You still have a long road ahead of you.'

Ibro sighed, it seemed this scheme of his enemy was way more complicated than ever, so he needed to exert extreme caution here.

'I can't do it for now, let's use it later when I come here in two months.'

'…'

'Now, just use the instant teleportation to reach the place of these clustered demon gates. The only help that fiend did to me was to gather all the gates in one spot, so I will find it easy to annex them.'

'Do you want to absorb them all? What about the demons around them?'

'Move only the gates, as the demons will be taken care of by my skeletons, and those annoying flying demons will be hunted by my dragons. By the way, search for Maya's big drag and send it to her, I want to end this quarrel with her.'

'…'
