Chapter 308 - Hope In The Form Of Risea (1)
"Hey Kai, do you have a minute?" Sahara suddenly said moved close to kai and whispered in his room.
Everyone had gone back to their daily task for the day. Kai had told them that they would gather together one again later on.
He raised his eyebrows in response and gestured for Sahara to continue speaking. She glanced around to check whether anyone was listening or not.
"I think something happened to Azrael while he was fighting Glindhor." She muttered as Kai narrowed his eyes. He suddenly grabbed Sahara's hand and the two of them vanished.
The two of them appeared on a random abandoned realm since that was the best secluded place Kia could think of at the current moment.
"Why do you think that something happened to him?'
"He didn't have a barrier while fighting so I was able to see what was happening. He was holding a dwarf by his throat and everything seemed fine until he suddenly released his grip. His eyes slowly started glowing and a strange marking appeared on his forehead." Sahara suddenly said as both she and Kai knew what this meant.
Someone had been successful in putting a formation on Death.
"The thing is, I know what that formation was." Sahara added as Kai's expression turned grim.
Sahara's knowledge of formations was almost nonexistent. Though she still knew about all the basic formations and the formations Kai had taught eh about. So if she had recognized the formation, Kai could somewhat guess what it was.
"I think it was a binding formation." She finished as Kai took a deep breath.
A binding formation was similar to a binding seal. However, where a seal could be broken through certain things, a binding formation was extremely hard to remove.
And if the same person, who had put the formation on Kia's heart, had created this formation, it would be even harder to remove.
"We will have to think of a safe way of removing it. There's a chance that the person is watching everything and might be seeing our moves. Since a binding formation allows one to have complete access to another person's body, the person might be able to do many things." Kai said in a grim voice as Sahara looked confused
"But he won't be able to kill Azrael right?" She asked as Kai nodded.
"Azrael is an unkillable being but there are many other things that can be done. For example, that person might take his scythe which holds unimaginable power. If it got in Taizan's hands, we are doomed to die."
"Then how will we remove the seal?" She asked back as Kai stared at the sky above him.
"There is one person who I can ask for help. But till then, you will h veto keep an eye on Azrael. If he realizes that you are spying on him, try to stop him from giving his scythe away," He said while staring into Sahara's eyes. "You can unleash your full powers."
"Whatever you say. However, after removing the seal, you are going to spend some personal time with me. And you better agree to everything I say." Sahara said with a grin as Kai sighed and nodded.
"Good luck Sahara."

After taking Sahara aback to the library, Kai decided to ask Soma for help. But when he called out for her, no reply came back.
"Kosma?" He decided to ask loud but no reply came.
He wasn't teleported from his pace nor did he hear Kosma's voice inside his head.
T looked as though he had been left alone.
"You are never alone you know. As much as you try to push yourself into doing everything by yourself, you still aren't alone." A voice suddenly said as though it had read Kai's mind.
He turned his head to see Risea staring at him. Her eyes were staring directly into his eyes as she moved forward and stood directly in front of him.
"You should try to rely on other people you know," Risea said with a smile as she lifted her right hand and touched Kai's cheek with it.
"But I do rely on other people." He protested as she raised her eyebrows.
"There's a major difference between asking someone for help when things have escalated to the worst situation possible and asking for someone's help since the beginning." She replied with a sigh and retracted her hand back.
"Follow me, I have something that I want to show you." Risea started moving in the direction of her room as Kai quietly followed her.
He could have just teleported her to the room but he instead decided to obey her words and move forward. They reached her room after a few minutes as both of them entered it and Risea locked the door behind her back.
"Sit down on the bed." She ordered Kai as he obliged and sat on the bed.
She then started removing her dress and dropped it on the ground. She was only wearing pink panties underneath her dress and had no bra on.
Her breasts and nipples were on full display for Kai but he knew that this wasn't a sexual display. Risea's ace looked extremely serious as his harem mark appeared on her right breast.
"A harem mark can only be removed by the harem overlord who has given it. I am correct right?" Kai nodded at her words as she walked up to a desk which had a half black half white pill on it.
She picked it up with her right hand and raised it to her mouth.
"But that's not true anymore. I have found a way to remove any seal regardless of the person who put it." She said with a smile as Kai's expression turned to one of disbelief.
If what Risea was saying was true, they could easily remove the formation on death. Heck, they might be able to remove the seals on any other harem members Kai might encounter.
"Let me give you a display." She added and swallowed the pill.
The harem mark on her breast suddenly started to glow and a few seconds later, it vanished.
