Chapter 205 - Azrael (Death's Arc 5)
"She is you sister?" Azrael asked in a stunned voice since it indicated that Eira was a princess of the continent of diamonds.
"What you are thinking is correct. I used to be a princess of the continent of diamonds." Eira replied as Azrael narrowed his eyes
"Why did you leave the royal family then?" He asked as she shook her head.
"I didn't leave the continent because of my own will. It was because of this." Eira replied as she walked away to a tree and touched it with her hands.
The tree instantly froze in ice and shattered as Azrael understood what she meant as she moved forward to stand in front of him.
"In my entire life, you are the only person I have met who hasn't died from my touch. After I turned 18, anyone who touched me would die and I was banished out of the continent because of that.. My father was kind or I would have been publicly executed if someone else was there.
As for Himari, she turned eighteen this year. If her powers are anything like mine, no wonder father would reject the continent of sapphire's proposal. I wonder how the assassins going after Himari would die or whether they would succeed in killing her." Eira said bitterly as Azrael shook his head.
"We can get her away from the continent if you want." Azrael said with complete seriousness as Eira looked at him with wide eyes.
"We are so far away from the continent and the only way for us to reach it before thee assassins is if we take up a teleportation formation. But the people there know my face so it would be useless." Eira muttered as Azrael smiled.
"Do you know what my cultivation is?" He asked as Eira though about it before shaking her head.
"I could never sense and you never told me so I don't know. Why are you asking this?" She asked as Azrael suddenly released his cultivation.
Spiritual soul realm... Divine soul realm... Semi Divinity realm... Golden Divinity realm and at last, Soul Divinity realm.
Eira's jaw dropped down to hell as she saw Azrael's cultivation which was making the land shake as though it was an earthquake.
"How do you..." Her voice trailed off as she realized how foolish her question was.
Azrael had told her that he collected souls but she never knew what he did with them. For all she knew, he was using them to increase his cultivation.
"You use those souls to increase your cultivation?" She decided to ask as he shook his head.
"My cultivation has always been like this. I have never managed to enter the Immortality realm so this is my limit. But we don't have time for idle chat. Let's go save your sister." Azrael said with a small smile as Eira nodded.
"But how are we going to reach the continent on time? The sect should have already paid the assassins enough money to use the teleportation formation. Though I don't think that they can even reach the palace without getting caught." Eira muttered as Azrael suddenly extended his hand in front of her.
She stared at it for a few minutes before she tightly clasped it. Azrael felt Eira's soft ice cold hands tightly gripping his hands as he closed his eyes and they suddenky vanished.
They landed on a foreign land as Eira stumbled a little. She felt as though she would puke but somehow managed to prevent herself from doing so.
"What was that?!" She exclaimed as Azrael chuckled a little.
"We teleported here. That's all." He explained as Eira looked around as her eyes widened.
They were currently standing on a cliff below which the ocean raged on. A familiar salty smell entered Eira's nose as she realized where they were.
"This is the place from where I flew to the continent of sapphire. We are on the continent of diamonds right?" She asked as Azrael nodded.
"Since I don't know where the palace is, I could only teleport us to this continent. We should hurry up and fly to the palace." Azrael explained as the two figures rose in the air. Eira moved forward while Azrael trailed behind her.
"If we fly at full speed, we can probably reach the palace in a few hours and by then, the more skilled assassins would have already blended in with the crowd. Though I am sure that they wouldn't be able to breach and enter the palace." Eira said out loud as Azrael nodded.
"Then let's hurry up." He replied as they continued flying for a few hours.
After that, Azrael and Eira could see a huge a city lying in the distance. Azrael's eyes widened when he saw that the walls surrounding the city were made from solid pure gold infused with spiritual energy.
"The royal family here is rich enough to cover their capital with gold walls?" He asked in surprise as Eira shook her head.
"This is not the capital. This place is the city of merchants and the captial is still further away. These golf walls are created by the city lord and my father has no role to play in it." She explained as Azrael's eyes widened.
"If a city like this has walls made from solid gold, I wonder how the captial woudl look like." He muttered under his breath as both of them went sideways and traveled beyond the city.
Two hours later, they could see the walls surrounding the capital and Azrael couldn't be shocked any further.
"Are those made from Jadetial mixed with diamonds, rubies and emeralds?" He asked Eira as she nodded.
They landed some distance away from the walls as they started planning to teleport inside but before tehy coudk proceed, a huge explosion kit up the sky.
A flame dragon rose in the air and brightened the sky like a second sun as Azrael and Eira exchanged glances.
"By any chance, can your sister have fire powers?' He asked as Eira didn't say anything.
"Let's hope that it's her and not someone else trying to kill her." She replied as the two figures vanished.
