Harem Overlord

The dark aura seemed to emerge from the palace. This palace was completely different than the ones on the other continents.

It was completely black, the complete opposite of the blue color of the Azure dragon. There was no symbol of the Azure dragon on the top. Instead, a red sun-like symbol was placed on the top.

Kai and the others didn't speak anything as they ventured towards the palace, all of them lost in their thoughts.

Kai didn't teleport them directly to the palace in case another spiritual beast like the lion they killed was protecting the palace.

'That was way too easy.' Kai thought as he remembered the lion's dying expression.

It was a small smile that said that more horrors were yet to come. Other than that, the four of them had defeated a scriptural beast that outclassed them by an entire realm.

'At the most, we would have been able to deeply wound it so that it would have to flee from the battlefield but defeating it in one blow, that's something I didn't think would happen.' Kai thought but he didn't care about it.

"We are reaching the entrance, get ready to either battle or flee." Kai ordered as the others tensed.

But shockingly, nothing happened. No spiritual beasts attacked them, no traps were set for them and no one even made a sign to recognize their arrival.

Kai took out the demon sword as the others also took out their respective weapons, Mia her scepter, and Mariel her sword. Risea was left without any weapon so she only had her wits to use.

"Walking into a trap. One of the most stupidest things to do and we are going to do it." Mia sighed as she pointed at the entrance.

Kai casually strolled inside while the girls followed in a formation. Each of them was looking in one particular direction, ready to sprung if trouble came their way.

"This..." Kai suddenly stopped in front of a door and emotionless or not, he was surprised by the door.

​ "A gateway to a special realm. The perfect way to complete the setup of a trap." He said with a quick curl of his lips and touched the gate.

Symbols surrounded the trio and their surroundings started to change. This reminded Kai of the time he was captured in the formation near the mountain of fortune.

Looking back, that was when all of this began and if not for that incident, he and his harem would not be separated.

Thinking about that, Kai and the others appeared in a new place. Old fashioned houses were lined across a field that was full of dull black dried grass and trees.

The trees were barely seven feet tall and were crooked at the top with dried-up leaves that covered the area around the trees.

Looking up, the sky was covered with hazy gray colored clouds that looked like a mixture of ash and smoke.

The sun was dim, hidden behind the clouds as they floated across the sky. The air around them was still but they didn't feel hot since sunlight barely touched the ground.

The leaves were crushed under the group's feet as they went towards the houses. The houses looked as though they were made from stone and straw and some had moss over them.

But the truly shocking state was that of the residents. They were spread across the entire field and all of them were frowning.

"I have got the biggest penis in the entire village." One of the men said standing near a house said.

"Oh yeah? I have the best oral sex techniques in the village." Another man standing beside the first man said as he patted his chest.

"Well, I have fucked more women than both of yours combined." A third man said as the three of them continued to bicker.

Mia, Mariel, and Risea stared at them before looking at each other to make sure that they hear the men correctly.

However, Kai's attention was on the other side of the village where a group of five women were showing their breasts to each other.

"I have the biggest boobs." One said.

"But I have the perfect nipples." Another said.

"But mine are the most rounded." A third countered.

"Mine provide the best milk." A fourth said as Kai laughed.

"What is wrong with these people?" Mia asked in disbelief as she glanced around the entire place.

"It's been millenniums since I saw a scene like this." Kai said as he controlled his laughter.

"These people are under the jurisdiction of a sin." He replied as Mia and Mariel stared at him.

It was as though he had just announced that he was a female who turned into a male since the impact of his words was quite similar to that.

"In simple words, one of the seven deadly sins is here." He said after a moment but Mia and Mariel didn't stop staring at him.

"Will you please stop staring at me? It's creepy." Kai said as Mia and Mariel shook their heads. But before they could speak anything, Kai answered their unanswered questions.

"The Sin that is present on this continent is the sin of pride. And yes, I have the sins in my harem so don't don't anything about that. My encounter with the team was complicated so no questions about that either. Anyways, anything else you wanna ask?" Kai said as he felt a little tug inside his chest.

His emotions had returned after he had talked about the sin of pride and he smiled at that. As for Mia and Mariel, they just closed their mouths as they were about to ask Kai numerous questions.

"Just tell us her name and how she affects these guys?" Mia said with a smile as Kai nodded.

"Her name is Sahara. As for her how these eggs are being affected, it's simple. Sahara and the other sins can use their powers to draw emotions from living things. However they can only draw emotions related to their sin, so in Sahara's case, it's pride." Kai said as he gestured at the different groups of people.

Mia and Mariel nodded but Risea raised both of her hands to stop them. She took a deep breath and steeled her nerves before opening her mouth.

"I know that you are looking for your reincarnated lovers." She said slowly as tried to read their expressions.

'Either these people are experts at maintaining a poker face or I am wrong." Risea thought and clutched her hands together.

"And how do you know that?" Kai asked in a neutral voice as Risea trembled a little.

"I, um, have seen some visions. I think that these are from my past life or something and I have seen you in them. And the way you guys talk, I definitely think that you are finding your reincarnated lovers or something." Risea explained in one go before she stopped to breathe.

[ Should we tell her the whole story? ] Mia asked Kai as he thought for a minute.

"I hope you will forgive me for this." He muttered to Risea and appeared in front of him.

He touched her forehead with his fingers and her eyes rolled back. He carefully went inside her mind and scrolled through her memories.

He couldn't delete them or completely manipulate them since her mind was still under a seal but he could put another real on her mind.

"She will probably be angry at me when the seal is undone but still, this is better than being angry and confused in an unknown place." Kai sighed as he sealed her memories about her visions and the trio's otherworldly talk.

"You could have just told her the truth." Mia remarked as Kai removed his fingers from Risea's forehead.

"But then, she would have many questions and she might even become afraid of us. But since we are in an unknown territory, it's better if we do that on the western continent." Kai replied as Risea woke up.

She didn't remember what the group had been talking about so when Kai looked at her if asking her opinion, she nodded without thinking.

"Guess we should go and find the creator of this realm." Kai said out loud as they agreed to move.

He would have to make sure that no otherworldly matter slipped from his tongue since the seal he placed on Risea's mind would come undone by any mention of such stuff.

They traveled around for quite a while before they realized something. They were traveling in circles.

No matter the direction they chose, they would somehow end up in the village. After making sure that all four directions lead to the village, they sat down and started thinking.

"It's as though we are stuck in a loop." Risea remarked as she pointed at the people.

After coming back to the village for the second time, the group noticed that the people were repeating the same thing over and over again.

It was as though moving away from the village hit the reset button of a loop. So in the end, they had no choice but to find a way to break the loop.

"Okay, I have an idea." Kai said as he suddenly stood up.

"We..."
