Chapter 338 - Those Who Venture In The Darkness (1)
"Now I wonder what type of new drama this is..." Kai muttered as he appeared in what looked like a frozen desert.
And in the middle of the ice, he saw Sahara's body floating in the air.
It wasn't her actual body tough. It was just her soul's representative form which was present in front of Kai.
'I wonder why she did that though. Perhaps she wanted to show something important to me which could only be shown through the use of Hellbringer." Kai thought with a sigh as he started moving towards Sahara's soul.
In the desert, she was only wearing a plain white dress that reached down to her knees. Her hair was tied in a ponytail and her eyes were closed
It looked as though she was sleeping in this position.
"Wake up Sahara." Kai gently said after reaching near her but all he got in reply was silence.
It made him want to know more about what Sahara was thinking but unfortunately, it wasn't possible.
"Asdgfsgdhfshdgf." A whisper suddenly resounded in Kai's ears but he couldn't understand what it said.
"Gjdshdghsgd." Another whisper resounded in his ears but this one didn't make sense either.
He looked around in the desert to see what was happening but still didn't see anything."
"Asdgfsgdhfshdgf." The whisper came again, sounding similar to the first one but this time, Kai strained his ears on the voice.
"In the midst of the darkness, not the literal one, a child from hatred would be born. The child however would be a lovely person."
"Oh great, mysterious oracle voice? Check. Something sinister that sounds like a prophecy? Check. Now I wonder how it will continue.'
Kai thought with a sigh as he waited for the second whisper. But during this time, he didn't notice that Sahara's eyes were slowly fluttering open.
"When the girl turns of age, the seven sins will be born and the world will watch things burn. In the end, the sins and the demon will be the ones responsible for the birth of the demon realm."
Kai facepalmed when the whisper finished. It looked as though his doubts ahd just been confirmed as true by the whisper.
He had just been told an old prophecy that somehow included the birth of the seven sins and perhaps Lilith. As for who told him about this, he had no clue.
*Growl!*
However, a growling noise came from behind him. As he turned back, he saw Sahara looking at him with red eyes.
But those red eyes soon turned completely black as Kai could sense the fierceness behind them. Her tail stood straight in the air behind her before she stomped her right foot on the ground.
Her stomp made the ground tremble in fury before she stared directly into Kai's eyes.
'She is about to release her powers.' Kai thought with a frown as his angel wings and angel eyes suddenly came forth.
He jumped forward and surrounded Sahara in his embrace. His white wings moved behind her and wrapped her in a hug.
It looked as though his angel wings were purifying Sahara. Her tail now curled down on the ground and she slowly started to loosen up.
"Thanks…" Sahara murmured as she looked up into Kai's eyes with a weak expression.
The Sahara Kai had seen only a few moments ago wouldn't have shown such a weak expression even after being terribly beaten.
But in Kai's embrace, Sahara felt like a weak innocent girl who needed protection from the rest of the world.
This was how a person's soul was. Something completely different from imagination. It was the most vulnerable and the strongest thing a person had.
It just depended on how they used it. After a few seconds, Sahara stepped back and it looked as though that she was now refreshed.
"Come on, follow me." She then started heading north in the desert as Kai followed her.
While walking, he noticed that the desert seemed endless. Till as far as he could look, he only saw ice and frozen sand.
He had no idea whether they were just moving in circles or whether they were moving towards a specific destination.
He could only follow Sahara quietly.
But while doing that, Kai decided to try to teleport and found out that he couldn't do that. He then shifted between his different forms of powers and found out that all of them worked.
But the only thing that he couldn't do was teleportation. So with no other choice left, he just decided to follow Sahara.
"Where are we going?" He casually asked while increasing his pace and walking beside Sahara.
"We are going to meet someone special," Sahara replied but that gave rise to even more questions.
"And that special person lives in the middle of this desert?"
Sahara suddenly stopped walking when she heard Kai's question and turned to look at his face.
"This is not a desert."
"Um Sahara, this is a desert," Kai replied as Sahara stared back at him with a confused expression.
"Sahara? Who is that?" Her words made Kai take a sharp intake of breath.
"Who are you then?" He asked back as Sahara shrugged.
"I am the sin of pride. I don't know anyone named Sahara." She replied before continuing to walk.
Kai on the other hand stood still. Sahara had just told him that she was the sin of pride yet didn't know anyone named Sahara.
'Not another memory thing.' Kai thought while taking a deep breath as he looked at Sahar walking away.
He stared at her back for a few seconds before catching up to her.
"Do you know who I am?" He suddenly asked as Sahara nodded.
"You are a true demon who managed to unlock the true powers of Hellbringer."
"The true powers of Hellbringer?" Kai asked with a wide-open mouth as he had no idea what she meant.
"Then does that mean that this place is…" Kai's voice trailed off as he realized where they were and Sahara's reply just confirmed his theory.
"We are where the soul inside Hellbringer, Lilith lives."
