Chapter 200: Death's Library

"How will we find him in such a large place?" Risea asked as Kai just shrugged.

"Why are you shrugging like that? Do you want us to shout Death multiple times and hope that he hears us?" Mariel asked as Kai chuckled lightly.

"We don't actually need to find him. He would have already sensed our presence here and would come to meet us in a few minutes." Kai replied but he was thinking something else.

'He should have already arrived here. What's taking him this long?' He thought with narrowed eyes as Death suddenly appeared in front of him.

But his eyes were full of bewilderment as he looked at Kai with a grim look. He was holding a death book in his hand that glowed with a blue light as Kai frowned.

"Azrael, what's wrong?" Kai suddenly asked with seriousness as Death, whose real name was Azrael spoke up.

"It's already too late. I couldn't do anything for the second time." Azrael said slowly as his eyes dropped and Kai noticed the name on the Death book.

It spelled Mia.

His eyes widened as he quickly whirled around to see Mia suddenly clutched her head as she released a scream.

The ice wings on her back started expanding in the form of icicles as Kai created barriers around his harem members but the ice broke through them.

He was momentarily stunned but he recovered in less than a second as black flames ran against his arms.

He directed them forward as they shot out like hunters hunting their prey. They came in contact with the ice but instead of destroying it, they called together.

"STEP BACK!" Kai shouted as the others moved back and released their powers in case the ice moved any further.

But the ice and Kai's flames were in a stalemate as neither power moved forward.

"What does her death book say?!" Kai asked as he took out Hellbringer and moved forward as he cut through some incoming ice with his sword.

Since wasn't using his flames in a wide radius, there were still a few places from where the ice kept moving forward.

"It says that the Eira, The Goddess of Ice will ascend in Mia's body and claim her powers back." Death said slowly and Kai had to stop and stare at him to make sure that he had heard everything correctly.

"How is that possible?" Kai asked in a low voice as Death shook his head helplessly.

"Ask End why she wrote this." He replied as Kai turned towards Mia whose eyes had started glowing with an ice-blue glow.

"Time stops passing when someone is frozen whereas nothing exists in this space if it's burned. On the dawn of the world's birth, the Darkness was locked away by Time and Space. But when the Darknees's children will face against the children of Time and Space, the Darkness will awaken.

It will be a day of destruction and creation but lest these events happen again, the Seal on the Darkness will be fully released and the world will cry at the biggest loss ever." Mia said in an oracle's voice as her body rose in the air and her looks changed.

Her hair turned lighter and extended to the floor in a curl as she wore an ice white dress. A crown of blue jewel appeared on her head as she settled down.

(Check the paragraph comment to see how she looks)

"We meet again Z." The new Mia said as she looked at Death with a hint of remembrance.

Kai on the other hand stared at the book in Death's hand as it slowly vanished.

"The book has disappeared..." Kai's voice trailed off but Azrael wasn't listening to him.

"Eira..." Azrael said out loud with wide eyes as he walked towards the woman who looked a little like Mia.

"Don't come near me AZ or I will kill you. You knew about them didn't you?" The woman asked coldly as Azrael stopped moving.

His eyes dropped down when he heard her question.

"I..." He began saying but stopped when he looked at the woman's expression.

"That's enough for me. Hope we don't meet again AZ or I might really kill you." The woman said with a dangerous gleam in her eyes as she vanished with a swirl of snowflakes.

Everyone was left stunned by what happened as Kai took a deep breath and looked at Azrael with glowing eyes.

"Everyone, please go out while I talk with this guy a little." Kai said in a slow and dangerous tone and Sahara and Risea looked grim.

"Let's go bother some reapers." Sahara said slowly as she and Risea took everyone outside hurriedly.

[ He looked as though he was murder Death. ] Sahara said to Risea through a spiritual message as she nodded.

[ He looked the same when he destroyed the entire fairy realm. I wonder if this library will survive? ] Risea asked back as Sahara shrugged.

[ Knowing him, this place might be burned down to shreds. I wonder what he will ask Death about.] Sahara finished as Risea shrugged.

[ Only they know about it. ] Risea answered as the girls went away.

"You do know that you can't defeat me with such a low cultivation right?" Death asked with narrowed eyes as Kai gave him a cold smile that didn't reach his eyes.

"The first time, the impact was enough to make me go mad. The second has a feeling of emptiness inside me while I want to go on a rampage and destroy anything I can." Kai replied as Death slowly understood what he was talking about.

Kai was talking about his harm's deaths felt like but Mia's death had a deeper impact. 

"And as for your question, I only need to touch you with my spirit flames and you would be purified." Kai replied to Death's earlier question as the latter took out a desk and two chairs and sat down.

"Now tell me, how do you know that woman you called Eira." Kai said down opposite Death and looked at the latter with glowing eyes.

"Here's what you should know." Death sighed as he closed his eyes and started projecting his memories.
