Chapter 125 - How He Met Mia (Past )
Kai turned right just in time to dodge a hot ball of fire being shot at him by an armor-clad figure. Kai yelped in surprise as water appeared around him. As he tried to move away, he saw the red-haired woman smile and he figured that it was her deed.
But he wasn't about to give it as his demon wings burst through his back and helped him dodge the water. The seven figures looked at him in surprise as Kai flew over the water.
"You are a demon who is merged with five spirits. What a surprising thing to see." A shiny white-haired woman muttered.
As they were examining him, he took the time to examine them as well. Six of them were women while the last one was a man, at least that what the armor-clad figure looked like to Kai.
It was very hard to determine what gender the person was so Kai focused on the others.
The red-haired woman who had attacked Kai with water was the ruler of water while the armor one was definitely the ruler of fire.
There were two white hair women in the group while one of them was the woman who had spoken earlier.
Kai couldn't figure out their elements so he moved on to the others. Then there was one with shoulder-length brown hair while one had glossy black hair that reached a little bit below her shoulders.
This one was probably the ruler of dark while the brown-haired one was probably the ruler of the earth. Then there was one girl with curly black hair that reached down to her spine and she had two red horns coming out of the sides of her head.
Just as he finished examining them, the ruler of water gestured towards the spirit of the dark as she smiled at Kai and his vision went black.
But it only happened for a second. When he blinked, he could clearly see everything.
The rulers were smiling but when they saw Kai staring at them with confused eyes, their smiles faded as they looked at the ruler of dark for an explanation.
She looked at Kai with wide eyes as raised her fist in front of her and clenched it quickly.
Kai felt a crushing pressure of r a second before it too vanished. The ruler of dark stared at him with wide eyes as she looked at the others in shock.
"My powers are not working on him." She told them as their expressions hardened.
The ruler of water then turned towards the white-haired woman who had spoken earlier. She nodded as her eyes started to glow.
As Kai stared at her. He felt his eyes starting to burn as the light became too much for him.
But he suddenly blinked in surprise as the light became soothing for him. He then remembered Aizza's words telling him that he had her's and Hela's blessing.
He smiled at the rulers as his wings bent downwards and he launched himself upwards with a fast pace.
But no sooner had he risen above few feet that a wall of fire appeared in front of him. He quickly stopped himself as he stared at the ruler of fire with hatred.
"Will you please extinguish this fire man?" Kai tried asking nicely as the ruler laughed and removed the helmet of the armor.
Kai's eyes widened as he saw long blond hair alongside a feminine face. This told him that all the rulers were females. He gritted his teeth as all of them prepared to attack him at once.
'Guess I have no choice lefty except using it.' Kai thought as the rulers launched their attacks.
Black flames swirled around him as he directed it towards the attack and the wall of flame at once. The flame was strong but their range wasn't wide enough to stop all the attacks as a lightning bolt and a giant rock hit him and blood started to flow from the wounds.
After getting fatally wounded, Kai saw that the wall of flame in front of him had been swallowed by his black flames.
He jumped through it without any hesitation as the rulers tried to attach him again but failed as the black wall of flames swallowed their attacks.
Kai tried to find a place to stop and heal his wounds but the only ones he found were abandoned realms and they will probably do him more damage than they would heal.
His eyes then fell on three realms that were situated too close to each other. He remembered that these realms were the sun, ice, and moon realms as he landed on the closest realm he saw which was the ice realm.
He was in a frozen forest as the trees were all crooked and the leaves were shed. The ground was frozen and the entire place was extremely cold. Kai's wounds however didn't start healing as he touched the surface of the realm.
It was as though the realm wasn't allowing him to be there as his wounds lay open and blood flowed from them. He went near a tree as his spirits detached from his body and appeared in front of him.
"Go check if someone is coming here or not. If you see anyone coming here, quickly come back and tell me." Kai ordered as they nodded.
They were worried about Kai but checking their surroundings was an important task as well. They spread across the area as Kai sat down and supported his back on the trunk of a tree.
"Even though I suffered because of it, I still managed to free them." Kai smiled as he talked to himself.
Raiden suddenly appeared in front of him with a worried expression as Kai gestured for him to talk.
"Someone is coming here from the north. That person has a higher cultivation than me so I couldn't get too close to them but they will be approaching this place quickly." Raiden said as Kai dismissed him.
There was nothing he can do about that person especially since he was wounded. So the only thing he could do was to create an illusion to make his black blood look red.
The person soon came into his vision and he was surprised to see her appearance. The person was a beautiful girl with moon yellow hair and gleaming gold eyes with a very pale skin.
She was wearing shorts and a leather jacket even though the entire place was too close but it didn't look as though she cared about it.
Another surprising thing about her was that she was sucking on a popsicle in such a cold place. Either she was mad or she had a very supreme level of resistance against the cold.
"Hmm?" She turned to look at the bleeding Kai and she frowned at the blood that had gathered around him.
"What happened to you?" The girl asked as she took the popsicle out of her mouth and pointed at Kai's injuries.
Kai opened his mouth to tell her some farfetched tale but instead, he coughed up some blood.
The girl sighed as she bent down and extended a hand towards Kai. He took it and felt a chilling sensation travel throughout his body as she pulled him up.
'You just had to be in my secret walking space. Now, I can't let you go without treating you." The girl said as Kai slowly felt that his consciousness was fading away.
"What is your name?" The girl asked him and Kai somehow managed to answer her.
"Kai." He replied as the girl smiled.
"My name is Mia." Mia said as Kai's consciousness faded away and his mind went black.
He was now trapped inside a black void of nothingness while his body healed. Day by day, the feeling of loneliness started to catch up to him as the void became darker. But one day, he suddenly saw a light that covered the entire place and shook him awake.
He quickly raised his head and head-butted someone as both of them yelled ow at the same time. Kai's eyes adjusted as he saw the same girl from earlier. What was her name? Mia.
"You should never move so quickly after waking up from a one-month unconsciousness." Mia said in a disappointed voice as Kai grinned at her.
"Where are we?" He asked as Mia grinned back at him.
"Already using we instead of I?" She asked as Kai smiled.
"I might as well answer your question in a similar way. We are in the ice palaces FYI my home. I didn't get to introduce myself earlier but I will do it now. My name is Mia and I am a princess of the frozen realm." Mia said proudly as Kai raised his eyebrows.
'My luck never ceases to surprise me.' He thought to himself with a chuckle as Mia extended her hand towards him.
"Come on. We have to go meet my father and you will tell him who you are." Mia said in a hurry as Kai sighed and took her hand.
"And you were the one saying that I shouldn't move too quickly." Kai said with a smile as he and Mia left the room and went off to meet the king of the frozen realm.
