Chapter 268 - The Lonely Spirit Of Life (1)
"Aizza, how did you recover your memories?" Kai slowly asked after what felt like many hours as Aizza smiled at his words.
"How did I recover my memories? I am wondering the same thing. Or perhaps I never recovered them at all." She replied as Kai suddenly went still.
'No way, please tell me it's not that seal!' Kai thought as he suddenly lurched forward and grabbed Aizza's arm.
He then closed his eyes as he quickly took a glance at her mind and instead saw a seal which sent chills on his back.
"Why do you, one of the most cheerful people I know, have that seal on your mind?" Kai asked Aizza as he let go of her arm and stepped back.
"Am I a cheerful person or is that what I was like in the past? Right now, I am the only person who keeps this place alive." Aizza said with another smile as something in her eyes suddenly changed.
"Who are and how can you see me?" She suddenly asked in a cold voice as Kai's eyes dropped down.
He moved back and grabbed Hela's arms before teleporting them out of the place as Aizza was left standing on the hill with a cold expression on her face.
"What was that just now? Why was she acting like she didn't know us?" Hela asked in confusion as they appeared on another hill which was far away from the one they had been standing on with Aizza.
"Hela, do you know what split personality is?" Kai asked as Hela nodded.
"Then do you know what are the causes of split personalities?" Kai asked as Hela looked a little confused.
"I know that trauma is one of its causes. Why are asking me such questions?" Hela asked as Kai sighed and glanced up at the sky with a sad expression.
"The major causes of split personality are trauma, childhood trauma, and depression. In the past, the upper realms had a persin famous for creating a mind seal that could cause a person to have split personalities depending on their emotions. The seal was extremely hard to remove and was extremely dangerous if the person was left alone." Kai replied as Hela immediately understood what he meant.
"Aizza also had the same seal of her mind. Depending on how she is feeling, her personalities will shift between either one or more personalities." Kai explained as Hela fell silent
"And the thing is, I don't know how to remove the seal from her mind." He added and punched a huge rock twice his height in frustration.
The rock immediately cracked down and turned to dust as Kai sighed and turned to look at Hela whose face reflected his expression.
"Why did you look so shocked when she had that seal? I thought that the seals were random." Hela asked as Kai kept staring at the sky and didn't reply to her question for a few minutes.
"The seal usually brings out the negative side of the person out and depending on the negativity, the person might develop several personalities. But people who usually remain happy and cheerful can decrease the effects of the seal. But the seal was working more powerfully than normal. That was the reason for my shock." Kai replied as Hela sighed.
"Aizza still hasn't changed. I have known her for a long time and have never seen her share any of her deep secrets. If she is in pain, she will never show it. Why do you think she is called the elemental ruler of life?" Hela asked as both of them remained silent for some time.
"What are we supposed to do now?" Hela then asked as Kai shook his head.
"I have no idea on how to remove the seal without harming Aizza's mind. And even if got near her, she will probably resist. Should we leave her here and go search the other continents?" Kai asked Hela who looked as though she would protest.
But she then sighed and nodded as she raised her hand to get both Kai and herself out of the place.
But they didn't vanish.
"Uh Hela, is there some problem?" Kai asked as Hela didn't reply and closed her eyes.
"I can't feel my connection with the special realm anymore." She replied in a slow voice as Kai's eyes narrowed.
"We are stuck here, aren't we?" He asked as Hela sighed and nodded.
"Great, if Aizza is the only one who can control this place now, we are doomed. The way she had been looking at us before we had vanished had told me that she didn't want us here. If she tries hard enough, she can easily find us and perhaps eradicate us." Kai said as he suddenly started creating symbols in the air.
He was creating formations to protect himself and Hela from Aizza's gaze since he didn't know what would happen if they got caught.
"Hela, try seeing the level of life energy here." Kai muttered while creating the symbols as Hela sighed and sat on the ground.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath as black mist started to emerge from her body. The black mist started to merge with the air around her.
Death energy and life energy, commonly known as yin and yang energy. Every place had a balance on this energy which determined the level of spiritual energy that place would have.
"The level of life energy here is 100% and no death energy is here. In other words, no person has ever died here." Hela said out loud as Kai sighed and stopped creating symbols.
A golden formation came to life and covered Kai and Hela's body. The formations completely covered their bodies as Kai turned to look at Hela.
"Aizza has made sure that no one would die here though I don't know why she is doing it. Now that we are hidden, let's try searching for Aizza since she is the only person who can send us out of here.." Kai said as Hela nodded and the two figures then started searching for Aizza.
