Chapter 107 Retaking The Sin Of Pride(Chapter Preview)
Two swords crashed mid-air. Sparks flew around as one sword was destroyed.
Kai stepped back with Hellbringer in his hand while Sahara was left with the hilt of her sword. She stared at it before tossing it away.
Her eyes started glowing as a small amount of white started appearing in her eyes. Kai smiled at this as Sahara launched herself at him barehanded.
Her nails extended into claws as Kai easily dodged her attacks. She growled in frustration as she wasn't able to land a single one of her attacks on Kai.
"What is wrong with you?! You can't even kill a single boy!" The woman shouted as Sahara suddenly stopped.
She turned towards the woman and at stared at her with a death glare. The woman whimpered as she saw Sahara's expression and started to back away.
But before she could run away, Sahara moved towards her and knocked her out. She then looked at Kai and her eyes returned to normal.
"I haven't felt like this for quite some while. What is your name?" Sahara asked as Kai put Hellbringer back.
"My name is Kai, Sahara-senpai." Kai said in a habit as Sahara's eyes rolled back and she fell back.
Kai caught her before she could hit the ground as she woke up a few minutes later. But she was completely different than before.
"Kai, where are we?" She asked as she rubbed her eyes. Her lion ears also moved with that and she looked cute.
But Risea was completely afraid of what she saw. The person in front of her was completely different from the person a few minutes ago.
'Will that happen to me too?' She thought as she shuddered a little.
"WE ARE ON THE FUCKING MORTAL REALM!" Sahara shouted as Kai covered his e3ars.
"Yes, Sahara-senpai. Will you please not shout?" Kai asked as Sahara gave him a sheepish smile.
"It's was just that this was a big piece of information. Anyways what the hell am I wearing? If any of the other saw me in this, I will never hear the end of it." Sahara said as she looked at her robes.
She then noticed the three girls standing behind Kai as she narrowed her eyes at him. He nodded and she smiled.
"So you are here too. Let's see, I know you but who are you two?" Sahara asked as she pointed at Mariel before pointing at Mia and Risea.
"I am Mia, the previous heir of the frozen palace. It's an honor to meet you." Mia said in a formal voice and bowed a little since she wasn't sure what she should do.
The Seven Deadly Sins were like myths in the upper realms. They were the counterparts of the Archangels and had immense power. It was said that even the spirit rulers were afraid of them and Mia could tell that it was true since Mariel's face was devoid of her usual cheerfulness.
As for Risea, she didn't know whether she should speak or not. Even though Sahara looked cool and calm, she had an aura of intimidation around her which was quite hard to avoid.
"How many people on this continent are alive?' Kai asked as Sahara answered within a second.
"Twenty-five people." Kai and Sahara sighed together since they knew that there was nothing they could do for the dead people.
"What do you want to do about her?" Kai said as he pointed at the unconscious woman.
Sahara just shrugged and went near the woman. She bit her finger as a black drop of blood dripped from it.
She opened the woman's mouth and made her swallow the drop of blood. The woman then died within a minute.
"Problem solved." She said as the three girls stared at her with wide eyes while Kai just shook his head.
"I am sure that those twenty-five people would die in some time too so we should take them with us. But there's something I want to do and I need your help." Kai said after a while as Sahara nodded.
He then teleported everyone outside the continent and searched for the spiritual core of the continent.
He found it within a few minutes but it was much weaker compared to the spiritual cores on the other continents.
"Me and the lion you killed before entering the palace kind of absorbed 75% of the core to advance in our cultivation." Sahara said as she saw Kai's expression.
"But why weren't you thrown out of this realm?" Mariel decided to ask as Sahara looked at her.
"Good question. The answer is that the realm was intimidated by me and trust me when I say you don't want me angry at you. That is why I and the lion were able to stay here but I am sure that we would have been expelled after a few more years." Sahara explained as the three girls sweatdropped.
'An entire realm is afraid of her.' All three of them thought as Sahara turned towards Kai.
"But you already figured that out, didn't you?" She asked as Kai nodded.
He then took out Hellbringer as she smiled a little. She grabbed the sword with him and her eyes turned to demon eyes.
Both of them swung the sword at the same time and cut through the surface of the continent before reaching the spiritual core.
Kai put it in his pendant for future use before he teleported himself and the four beauties surrounding him to the Western continent.
He then came back and picked up the twenty-five people left alive. He changed their memories and dropped them on the Southern continent as he knew that Haruka was trying his best for his kingdom to make sure that everyone received something.
Kai then teleported back to the sect where Sahara was sniffing around his room for who knows what.
"Hey, give me my clothes." She said to Kai as he sighed and took out some clothes from his pendant.
She snatched them and left to change while the other three girls stared at him. He smiled as Risea came forward.
"Yes, you are a reincarnated version of my lover, and yes that is the reason I came looking for you. And you can continue living your life and I won't force you to do anything and your memories would return with time and that won't change who you are. Any more questions?" He said at once as Risea blinked in surprise.
"No, that's all." She replied and moved back with a surprised expression.
Sahara came out of the bathroom wearing, you guessed it, otherworldly clothes. She was wearing a plain white T-shirt that showed her cleavage.
She was wearing a leather jacket with white fur and blackish red shorts with black running shoes.
( AN: And before you start commenting that this is too similar to the modern world, let me stop you. After living for so many millenniums, the people of my universe have of course created modern clothing. And that is the answer to your unasked question. )
"It feels good to be in my original clothes. Now that we are in a comfortable place, let's introduce ourselves properly." Sahara said as she looked at the Risea.
"Um, hello. My name is Risea and just like you, I am a reincarnated person." She said quietly but Sahara's hearing strength was quite powerful and she heard what Rise said.
"Good, good. Anyways, my name is Sahara and as Kai already told you, I am one of the seven deadly sins, not sure why people call us the seven 'deadly' sins but who cares, it's a cool name. Anyways, you already saw what I can do to other people and I have much more power than that. Anyways nice to meet you." Sahara said rapidly as Kai smiled.
"You are still the same as ever." He remarked as the atmosphere calmed down a little.
"Well, you guys can talk with each other since I have to go and tell Riang about Sahara. See you guys later." Kai said and left.
The three girls stared at Sahara for a moment before they bombarded her with questions. Sahara smiled at them as she started answering their questions one by one. While they were talking, Kai teleported away to a clear forest.
"Five of them huh." Kai said to himself with a smile as he sat down on the ground. He stared at the sun wandering the smile never left his face.
He was finally able to gather five of his girls from the mortal world. Too bad that there wasn't any person to punish on the mortal realm.
Kai was extremely happy as he stood up and teleported back to the sect. He searched for Riang and found her in the core court.
"You picked yourself a new wife, didn't you?" Riang asked the second she saw Kai.
She was now used to Kai coming to her and telling her that he had a new wife so she wasn't as surprised if her guess was correct.
"Yeah." Kai replied with a raise of his eyebrows as Riang sighed.
"Then she must be incredibly beautiful and would have otherworldly clothes. Am I correct?" She asked again.
"At least I don't have to explain anything now. You are correct about everything. Her name is Sahara and I brought her here from the western continent." Kai explained as Riang just shook her head.
"But that isn't the reason for me being here. I am here to ask you about an important thing." Kai said with deadly seriousness as Riang looked into his eyes.
"Will you become my wife Riang?" Kai asked as Riang's expression blanked. She stared at him to make sure that she heard it right and his face was still serious.
But in the end, she couldn't muster any words to speak as they stood there silently.
