Chapter 206 - Azrael (Death's Arc 6)
"Well, that's my sister all right. There's no doubting that smug smile and fiery red hair." Eira muttered as she and Azrael peered at the palace from far away.
Near the top of the palace, a woman with flaming red hair was hovering in the air with a small smile. Instead of normal fire, lava moved around in the air behind her as Azrael and Eira stared at her.
(Check this paragraph comment for her image. I am not going to describe her in detail because of this.)
The woman raised her hand as all the lava suddenly moved towards her palm. Her amber-colored eyes gleamed as she directed the lava towards a group of people flying in the air opposite of her.

"Is that Himari, The Goddess of Sun Himari?" Kai suddenly asked as the memories stopped and Azrael nodded..
"I didn't know that she was this old. She even beats the elemental rulers in age..." Kai's said as Azrael nodded.
"Eira and Himari are as old enough as me and I am..." Azrael suddenly stopped as he tried to remember his age.
"I am at least a billion years old or was it trillion?" He muttered to himself as Kai shook his head and gestured for him to continue.
"Even though this gives me some insight on Himari, can you please tell me what role she has to play in Mia's death?" Kai asked in a sharp tone as Azrael's memories started playing again.
"After that, we didn't need to worry about Himari since she was as strong as Eira. Me and Eira returned back to the sect and a few weeks later Himari came to visit us. Eira and she talked for some time and argued. They started using their powers and to prevent destruction, I teleported them outside the realm. Well, Himari probably told you how heated everything got." Azrael said as Kai nodded.
"She told me that she argued with her sister, the ice goddess, several number of times. She even told me that they destroyed some abandoned realms too." He replied as Azrael nodded.
"Himari left after some time though she came back and argued many more times. That's when people started calling the ice and the sun goddess since both of them had broken through to the Semi divinity realm. But nothing lasts forever does it?" Death asked with a small bitter smile as Kai chuckled darkly.
"Nothing lasts forever." Kai answered as he lowered his eyes and the memories continued playing.

"That's it. You better tell me why are you fighting or I am gonna kill you both." Azrael said as Himari and Eira destroyed another abandoned realm.
But the two sisters ignored him and continued fighting as he sighed and summoned his scythe. It had been almost a century since they last saw Himari near the palace on the land of diamonds.
Now, all of them spent their time in various places. Azrael had now started managing the souls of two different dimensions.
Eira on the other hand had started trying different types of stuff and was slowly turning into a foodie.
Himari on the other hand spent her time who knows where cause Azrael had no idea about it. Eira's fiery little sister was too much to handle for Azrael and he couldn't stand near her for 5 minutes without getting a headache.
As he stared at the two sisters flying he brought his sword down in a vertical arc as a white slash of light went forward.
The two sisters were about to move forward as the white slash of light went in between them and ruffled their hair as they turned to look at Azrael who had his scythe out.
"Why are interfering?" Himari asked as Azrael raised his eyebrows.
"Cause you girls keep on destroying realms for no reason." He commented as the Himari furrowed her eyebrows.
"We don't always fight on silly reasons you know. The thing is that she is not admitting that she lik-" Himari started saying but suddenly stopped as Eira punched her gut with ice-covered hair.
The former coughed a little as she glared at Eira before creating a magma whip and launching it at the other girl.
Eira responded by creating an ice storm as Azrael sighed and went away. Though he could more or less imagine what Himari was about to say.
"Hmm, I wonder who Eira likes? Maybe a protagonist sort of person?" Azrael muttered to himself.
After reading so many novels, Azrael had a good understanding of such stuff. Little did he know how wrong he was.
"Hmm, they should be finished about now." He muttered as to himself after waiting for a few hours.
He teleported back to see that the two sisters were back to normal. Himari patted Eira's back and left as the latter moved forward confidently.
"That was some feud. Anyways, you wanna eat something." Eira asked as Azrael shrugged and nodded.
"Well, then I have a special restaurant which supposedly has the best dessert in the imperial realm. It is rumored that the Divine empress eats there herself." Eira said with interest as Azrael sighed and teleported them to the imperial realm.
The guard standing at the entrance suddenly bowed as they saw Eira appear in front of them. But Eira paid no attention to them and entered the realm with Azrael.
"Do you know who that man with the ice goddess was?" The guard then asked another guard as he shrugged.
"Must be someone important. He is probably at the Golden Divinity realm since I couldn't sense his cultivation despite being at the Semi divinity realm." The second guard muttered as the first one nodded.
The reason they didn't know about Azrael was because he had been working from the shadows. But after that day, everyone will start knowing him from that day.
For the people alive during then, Azrael would be remembered as Death cause on that day, an upper realm was destroyed.
