Harem Overlord

Chapter 142 Hela's Rage(1)(Chapter Preview)

"Where did you go?" Kai was bombarded with the same question over and over again as he appeared back.

"I went to check up on something." Kai said with a smile but didn't tell them where he had gone.

He then looked at the unconscious Esmeralda lying on the ground with the numerous barriers surroundings her.

"What are you going to do with her?" Mia asked as Kai thought about it for a moment.

"We are going to take her with us since leaving her behind will be dangerous since anyone can technically come here and try to take her back though that is going to be impossible without breaking the barrier which is also impossible. " Kai said as he looked at Risea and she nodded.

A lasso made from her beams of light appeared in her hand. Kai took down the barriers as Risea held Esmeralda's hands and tied them up using the lasso.

Kai then carefully went around Esmeralda as he created a cube made from formations around her and sealed her inside it.

"That will prevent her from using her powers though I am sure that Amon already knows that someone is traveling towards his castle. As a precautionary step, I am going to go inside alone and face him and Hela while you guys clear up his forces." Kai instructed and it looked as though they were about to protest but he cut them off.

"I am saying this for your own safety. Now that you are above the Divine spirit realm, I can no longer resurrect you if you die. You guys can pick that cube up and take it with you." Kai added and they didn't protest anymore.

They nodded as Kai stared at the castle in the distance and teleported towards it. The others were left behind and they started moving on foot.

Sahara picked up the cube containing Esmeralda and started walking while casually tossing it from one hand to another.

"She went to meet those people from earlier?" Amon asked as Hela nodded.

"They must be quite powerful since they managed to defeat her. It would be fun to kill them." Hela muttered as her tongue darted across her lips.

'All she thinks about is killing. But she is the spirit of death after all.' Amon thought as he stood up from his throne and looked outside at the gloomy city.

His eyes widened for a moment as he saw a spark of brightness against the gloomy night but it was gone the second he blinked.

Amon knew that his eyes weren't fooling him but as he turned back, his eyes went wide as he saw himself standing alone in a void of darkness.

"Welcome to the real Darkness, oh the so-called emperor of darkness." A voice echoed around the entire place as Amon released his entire aura.

But he didn't find anyone else inside it. It was just him and the Darkness beside him as he tried to catch ut using his fist.

But it parted away before he could gather it and his hand passed through empty space as he tried to figure out how to leave the place.

p "Who are you?!" Amon shouted but he heard no reply. The voice from earlier was gone and Amon was left standing alone in the Darkness.

Kai watched him one last time before he exited the place and appeared in the throne room. Hela's eyes narrowed when she saw Amon vanish and someone else appearing in his face.

Her face suddenly went blank as she saw the familiar purple hair and glinting purple eyes with the familiar pair of clothes standing where Amon and been a few minutes.

"Kai." Hela said slowly as her face remained blank and Kai gave her a sad smile.

"Let's talk Hela." He said and stepped forward to talk to her.

On the girl's side, they were slowly getting closer to the palace when Esmeralda suddenly woke up and quickly tried to of her head but it instead hit against the top of the cube.

She looked around to see the group of girls traveling together and understood that she was being held as a prisoner.

She didn't speak anything and tried to gather up her powers near her hands but she couldn't generate them as she looked at the lasso tying her hands.

The lasso gleamed pure white and was countering Esmeralda's powers as she growled in frustration.

As the only option left, she tried kicking the barrier which in turn caused a huge racket as the group paused to look at her.

"Stop making that noise. It's annoying." Sahara told Esmeralda but instead increased the amount of noise that she was making.

"That's not funny kid. You better stop doing it or you will regret not listening to me." Sahara said as she gave her an evil smile but Esmeralda wasn't about to stop.

But her body suddenly froze as she felt a huge wave of power coming from the castle. The others also felt as they turned to stare at the castle with narrowed eyes.

That's when Esmeralda remembered the purple-haired young man who was traveling with the group and had defeated her.

"Please don't tell me that he went to meet Hela." Esmeralda said in a grim tone as she remembered the words her sister had said to her a few years back.

Esmeralda had been about to enter Hela's room to talk to her about certain things when she had felt a horrible aura coming from the inside of the room.

She was frightened by it but still opened the door to her sister's room by a crack and peeked inside with wide frightened eyes.

Hela's entire room was destroyed and she was standing in the middle of the wreck with a dangerous expression as black tendrils wrapped around her arms and legs.

Her face was twisted with an unknown fury as she heard the door open a little and turned around with bloodthirsty eyes.

"Hela?" Esmeralda had asked in a normal tone as Hela started calming down. The tendrils vanished and her eyes turned back to normal.

"Yes?" She asked as Esmeralda took a deep breath.

"What happened? Why did you destroy this place?" Esmeralda asked as Hela's face darkened and she hesitated to answer.

"It is because of someone I knew. He was a boy with purple hair and purple eyes and was handsome. But because of him, many things happened to me." Hela said as Esmeralda was confused.

She and Hela had spent their entire lives together but she and never seen the boy Hela was talking about.

But Hela had refused to give her further details and she never questioned her earlier as her face would turn dark the mention of that day and she wouldn't speak anything about it.

But Esmeralda now realized that the purple-haired young man from earlier was the same person Hela had told her about.

"Can you stop him from going there or has he already gone and met her?" Esmeralda asked SAS the group looked at her in confusion.

"I think he has already met her since he directly teleported to the castle." Mariel answered as Esmeralda's body shook a little.

"Why did you ask that. You know something, don't you" Mia asked as she narrowed her eyes and looked into Esmeralda's eyes.

Esmeralda was brave and wasn't afraid of anyone but Mia's gaze was cold and piercing and it was as though she was destroying her from the inside by just staring at her.

"I... Hela told me about a purple-haired boy and how something happened to her because of him. I think that the person you are traveling with is the same person." Esmeralda decided to tell them as they shared looks with each other.

"And?" Mia asked as she looked back at her and Esmeralda averted her eyes and hesitated to answer.

"You can answer us one way or the other. We have plenty of different types of power users here and we easily outnumber and outpower you." Mia randomly stated some facts even though they were roughly true since the girls had a lower cultivation than Esmeralda.

"Before I went away, I asked her what she would do to the same boy if she met him again. And her answer was not pretty. She said that she would tear him limb by limb as his insides would pour out and then she would use his blood to paint the entire castle." Esmeralda answered as all of them looked at her with surprise.

"Even though it has been centuries since we met Hela, the one she is talking about is vastly different from the one we used to know." Mariel said as she Levina told the group about the Hela they knew.

"Living beings keep changing according to the circumstances." Mia said as they fell silent.

She turned to ask Esmeralda about some more details when a huge explosion took place.

They turned towards the castle to saw a piece of it fall down from the top of it and they saw the figure of someone standing on the edge of it.

"Is that?" Kiana asked as they tried to get a better look even though they already knew who it was.

The figure was Kai.
