Reborn As A Dragon Girl With A System

Chapter 773: The Flame Of The Underworld

Kana looked at Elder Ye, who was currently shaking in his boots. He never expected the person he had been trying to kill would suddenly become so powerful that he would drop to his knees. And it was not just him. As he looked around the room, he saw everyone was doing the same thing, all except the people who came with Kana. Only they were standing with soft smiles on their faces.

“You can cause me trouble. You can even try to kill me. But as soon as you lay a finger on my family, you finally stepped on my reverse scale. Those who I hold dear are those you should never touch. Because if you do….” Kana stretched out her hand, and Elder Ye let out an ear piercing scream as his soul was suddenly ripped from his body and dangled in mid air. “I will not show mercy upon your soul. You dared to hurt the only man I have ever loved and will ever love for all eternity. Do you think you will be able to get off with something simple?” 

“Mama…. I wasn’t going to let him off with something simple.” Angelica pouted. She felt like her Mama’s words were saying she was not going to torture his soul for all eternity. 

Kana turned her cold eyes towards Angelica, causing them to soften as she shook her head. “That’s not what I mean. While your ways will definitely cause him pain for all eternity, it is not enough.”

Kana flipped her hand, and a black ghostly flame appeared in her hand. Angelica’s eyes suddenly went wide. “This…. Mama, where did you get this flame!?” 

The flame in Kana’s hand was a flame that could only be summoned in soul form. It was called the Flame of the underworld and also called the flame of endless death. While torturing a soul was simple and could make one wish for death, it never actually brought the soul close to death. But with the flame of the underworld, this single flame can cause a soul to continuously burn alive, give them the peace of death and then bring them back to life, causing an endless cycle of torment. It was a cruel form of punishment that most would never wish to endure. 

“This flame is only something I came to know about just now. I do not know how I can create it,  I just know it is there and know what it can do and all about its characteristics. It is a flame that will put this man who dares to harm my family in a state he could never dream of. So Angelica…. My baby, do you understand now why I said your way was simple?” Kana asked. Her voice was filled with love and warmth.

Angelica lowered her head and nodded. “Sorry, Mama…”

“Silly girl. What are you sorry for? You have done nothing wrong. It is Mama’s fault for not making myself clear. Come, I will help you take in some of this flame so you can nurture it while you are cultivating in the realm of souls. It will be highly beneficial to you. But remember,  it can only be used once in a  great while as its power will be quickly consumed, and, never use it all at once. Make sure to only use part of it.” Kana really had no idea how she was able to create this flame. She only came to know about it when she was consumed with hatred for the person who harmed her handsome husband. 

Angelica raised her head and nodded repeatedly. She hopped forward and stood next to Kana. Kana took a small bit of the flame and held it out to Angelica. “Take this and merge it with your soul. It may be painful but bear with it. “

“Mmm….” Angelica took the flame into her hand and slowly let it merge into her soul. Her brow furrowed when she felt the searing pain as the flame began to burn her very soul, but she clenched her teeth and bared the pain. Luckily she did not have to wait long to get used to the flame. The flame did not reject merging with her at all. It slowly settled into the middle of her soul, floating there as it nourished itself. 

“Hehe…. My daughter is a genius.”  Kana saw that Angelica was just fine and reached out and rubbed her head. “Now then…..”

As soon as Kana turned her gaze back to Elder Ye, the temperature in the room once again fell. It was as if she wasn’t just smiling warmly and lovingly at her daughter. Her cold eyes filled with killing intent locked on to Elder Ye, making his soul shiver. He had no control. He could only float in the air while Kana walked step by step over to him. 

“Kana, this…” the sect master who had been trying to speak this entire time finally forced open his mouth. “I would like to hold him accountable for everything that he has done so far…. I need him to weed out the oth….”

“You just need to know who else he has been dealing with, no?” Kana’s voice, which was cold as ice, asked. She did not even turn her gaze away from Elder Ye.

“Yes….” The sect master answered. He could not even raise his head due to the pressure weighing down on him. He could barely choke out the words he had just spoken just now. 

“That’s simple.” Kana reached out with her slender finger and poked the head of Elder Ye’s soul. A small ball of white light floated out of his soul and hovered in the air before Kana. Kana then took it into her hand and threw it at the sect master, causing it to enter the top of his head. “That should be good right?”

“Ye-yes….” The sect master did not know what to say when he suddenly got a whole batch of memories forcefully pushed into his mind. But he was quickly able to weed through them and pick out the information he needed. And what he saw made his expression sink. “Yes, this helps greatly, thank you.”

“Then… I will now proceed with his punishment.”
