Chapter 269: The Lonely Spirit of Life (2)

"Technically we can just release our cultivation as Aizza would automatically come here." Hela muttered as Kai shook his head.

"If we did that, we would eliminate any chances of attacking her by surprise so it's better that we manually find her." Kai replied as Hela shook her head.

"I already knew about this but thought it was worth mentioning. Let's start by looking for Aizza on that hill from earlier." Hela suggested as Kai nodded and grabbed her hand. 

The two figures vanished and appeared on the hill from earlier. The place still looked the same except they couldn't see Aizza anywhere.

"There isn't any clue for us to look and search for Hela. This is going to take a long time considering how this place is as big as a lower realm." Hela sighed as the two figures then rose in the air and began searching for Aizza.

But before flying away, Kai glanced at the ruins of the city one last time.

"Hela, where do we even begin looking from Aizza in such a huge place. Any random continent or a specific place where you what to start from?" Kai asked as Hela shook her head.

"I have no idea how much this place has changed so we will have to start looking for Aizza randomly." Hela replied and they started searching up random places around them.

They spent many weeks traveling around in search of Aizza after ten days of not finding her, they decided to not check towns and cities anymore.

The chances of Aizza randomly sitting in an inn while drinking coffee were non-existent so they decided to search for her in places where people would go in seclusion.

Such places included caves, underground bunkers, mountain peaks, etc. but despite working hard to find Aizza, they didn't even find a small clue.

"At this point, we are r sitting ducks. We have searched up the entire continent and have found no trace of Aizza. I have no idea how many other continents are there. Should we try looking for another continent?" Hela asked but Kai remained silent as he remembered something that had stood out to him about Aizza's story.

"Hela, did the second woman from the story dying quietly seem suspicious to you?" Kai asked as Hela looked confused.

"Didn't Aizza say that the woman died? What's so suspicious about it?" Hela asked as Kai sighed.

"I forgot how clueless you were about some things. It's just that it seemed odd that the woman died so easily without doing anything. Let's check out those ruins from earlier." Kai said as he teleported both of them to the hill they had last seen Aizza on.

Both of them glanced at the hill below them as they thoroughly examined the ruins.

Remains of stone structures were left behind whereas no remains of houses were left behind. The ruins almost looked as though they belonged to a temple and not to a house.

'It looks like the remains of a temple.' Kai thought as a wild theory suddenly appeared in his mind. He had no idea why such a theory popped up in his mind but there were chances that his theory might be true.

He jumped down to the ruins as Hela followed him. Kai walked towards what looked like the remains of a chamber since many remains of statues were visible in front of them.

But the strange thing was that the statues appeared to look strangely familiar. As Kai glanced at the head of one of the statues, realization suddenly struck him as he realized who the statue belonged to.

"I think that's you there Hela." Kai said while pointing at the head of the statue as Hela looked confused and moved forward to examine the statue herself.

The statue wasn't an exact copy of Hela and many details were different. But if one looked closely enough, one could easily tell that the statue belonged to Hela.

It had Hela's black hair portrayed in stone perfectly though the hair wasn't colored. Hela's eyes seemed strangely soft and sympathetic while etched in the stone as the rest of her body was also a little oddly created.

It looked as though someone was portraying Hela as a fierce woman who was dangerous yet full of love at the same time.

If someone asked Kai to describe Hela, he would also describe her in such a way. 

Looking around, Kai realized that all the statues belonged to the rest of the elemental rulers. 

Mariel's statue made her look as a mischievous person who was still fiercely protective as her statue was portrayed as a smiling person while her hands, which were separated from the body, were holding her sword.

Then there was Levina who was sculpted in a fighting pose. Her body was placed in a fighting state though unfortunately, the head was separated from the body.

Kai was able to find the face after a few minutes but it had many scratches and dumps on it. After the two statues, the next statue belonged to Kazemi.

She was depicted to be sitting down while staring at the distance and her hair were depicted as being wet.

Her eyes seemed sad as she stared away and Kai completely understood why the statue was created in such a way.

He then looked at Gaia's statue which was depicted as an 18-year-old teenager with her hair standing up as pieces of rock floated beside her.

"That is created using formations." Kai said as he saw the levitating stones around Gaia. A levitating formation was placed near her legs to make the stones fly around her body.

"But how did they create these statues? There is no way that the people here know about me and the rest of the elemental rulers." Hela asked as Kai shook his head even though a theory was brewing up in his mind.

"I think I know where Aizza is." He suddenly said as he turned to look at a round portal-like structure.

The structure had formation drawn upon it.
