Chapter 247 - The Spirit Of Water (1)
It was as though someone had turned off a light switch.
One moment, the sun was there and the next moment, it was gone. The entire place turned completely dark as the realm's surface started to shake. But the next second, the sun reappeared and everything returned back to normal as though nothing had happened.
"Hehehe, just kidding. But think about my words deeply Kai. I will definitely meet you later on." The god of clichés said with a dark smile on his face as he vanished and left behind a group of stunned people.
"Did he just made that sun vanish without doing anything except clenching his hand?" Mariel slowly asked in a tone full of disbelief.
As the spirit of fire, Mariel could control almost every source of fire and flames, including the sun but to make one vanish and reappear in a second, Mariel would have to concentrate on the fires of the sun.
But the boy, the god of clichés as Kai had called him, had been able to make the sun disappear and reappear with just a clench of his hands while being distracted.
"Don't think about that too much. His powers are something that even I had a hard time battling. But for some reason, he likes the cliché more than anything else. His powers can turn any encounter into a cliché one that will exactly go like its predecessors. The current encounter we had contained a little face slapping and meeting a beautiful woman trapped with an obnoxious young master because of a forced arranged marriage.
It also included the use of the line, 'you are courting death.' This all makes it a perfect cliché and had it progressed any further, it would have included a lot more face slapping and me beating the crap out of that man. The woman would have then felt something towards me but would have instead turned around with a cold expression to hide her feelings. And you can already guess what would have happened then." Kai replied as they nodded.
"How do his powers work?" Levin asked as Kai shook his head.
"Honestly I have no idea how it works. I don't know where he derives his power from and how it works but there is one thing that I know about it and it's that you don't know what you will be facing." He replied as Levina nodded.
"Were those people real?" Hela then asked as Kai nodded.
"They were real people and from what I know about him, he probably sent them to their home with their memories intact which means that we are going to face some problems real soon. Anyway, let's collect five dead bodies of the chickens and go back to the sect." He said as he went over to the dead bird's bodies and put them inside his space ring.
The rest of the birds had already run away as Kai and the others teleported back to the sect. This time, someone else was sitting at the desk at the entrance.
"We have completed a mission. Where are we supposed to submit it?" Kai asked as the person pointed him towards the gate at the far end of the entrance.
"Double-tap on it and you will be teleported to the place from before. There you will meet someone who will check whether you have really completed your mission or not and you will be given a reward then." The person said as Kai and the group did as instructed.
They appeared inside the room and found Yuan sitting on a chair with a surprised expression.
"It's only been a few hours since I gave you the quest and you already completed it. You guys are monsters you know." He said slowly as he examined the space ring and confirmed that they had completed the mission.
"As for your rewards-" Yuan began speaking but stopped when he saw another person appear inside the place with a terrified expression.
"The crown prince is here sect master and he seems pissed. He has brought two cultivators from the order of dragons with him! What should we do?!" The person asked in a hurry as Yuan's expression darkened.
'Why is the crown prince here with two cultivators from the order of the dragon? Did someone catch wind of me working with the rebels?' Yuan silently wondered as he turned towards the group to see Kai sighing.
"He is here because of me." Kai muttered as Yuan was stunned. He gestured for the other person to exit the place as the person went away with a confused expression.
"What do you mean he is here because of you?" He then asked Kai who sighed again.
"While we were hunting the water chickens, Valeus was also there as he had been practicing his archery skills or something. When he had seen us, he had said that we were infuriating us so I just told him why we were there. But for some reason, he thought that we were defying him or something and started acting arrogant.
We were all surprised by his arrogance and didn't say anything and as result, he thought that we were terrified of him. He then said that he would let me and two of my sisters go away if one agreed to leave behind. Well, I couldn't just agree to that, could I?" Kai asked as Yuan was left stunned by his explanation.
But he then suddenly started laughing out loud before stopping and smiling.
"I like you guys and as for your question, of course, you wouldn't let him do that. And now that he is here, maybe I should try to see how far I can push him despite him giving two members of the order with him. You wanna come too, right?" Yuan asked the group as all four of them nodded.
"Then let's go and teach the crown prince a lesson. He had been becoming a pain in the ass anyways.." Yuan then said while cracking his knuckles as the four of them moved outside the room.
