Rise of Myriad Magic Emperor

Chapter 148: Tactics X Magic

Morrigan attacked Kai again. It was not the physical type of attack instead she used her magic art and was about to use her rank seven magic art. Then she was startled and shocked. Morrigan was not able to integrate the power of law with magic power and her unique magic art. That means even if she uses it; its power will be limited to that of half step rank seven magic.

She couldn't use her full power in her current condition and looked at Kai.

"Just what have you done?"

Kai didn't reply to her questions. It will be foolish if he tells her that currently, she is inside his domain.

Most of the saint magic users would have already felt the change in surrounding by now. But Morrigan cannot, this domain is not ordinary and simple. After all, it's created by the embodiment of death and darkness law himself. While the surrounding is the mirror image of his destroyed room and mansion area. Making her feel she is still at the same place as she was in when she escaped the ice block.

He read many books during his stay in Almon city. About how being too talkative during a fight led to giving vital information to your enemies and how the enemies use the information to defeat him or her and even if he told her that she is currently inside the domain created by him. She would not believe that a magic champion can use the power of law as well as the domains at the same time.

But Morrigan's idea of using her magic art gave a clue to end the fight more quickly.

Morrigan seeing that she can't use her magic art quickly adapted to the situation and closed the distance between her and Kai and kicked Kai at his torso as the sound of the whistling of the wind accompanied it, creating a loud sonic boom. 

Kai was not careless like the first time and dodged aside avoiding her kick and quickly moved behind her. Using his right legs to disbalance her foot on the ground.

Just when Kai thought that Morrigan would fall on the ground. He received a frightening kick of full force on his right side of his torso.

Wind and dust surged as Kai's body was pushed towards the front garden of the mansion and hit the ground with a boom and rolled three times before his motionless body lay down on the ground.

His entire left rib cage was cracked with many small prices of bone entering his lungs and suffering from inner bleeding. The bones of his right hand, as well as shoulders, had also been completely shattered and his entire torso had turned numb.

"Cough cough"

In the silent night, the sound of Kai resonated throughout the area as he coughed out blood and struggled to breathe and heard the sound of footsteps slowly coming towards him. As his heartbeat quickened and tried to stand up again on his feet with his broken arm and numb body and stared at her with dizzy eyes.

Morrigan was also looking at Kai, who was trying to stand again with his broken body. Her lips curled up with no mercy in her eyes, she grabbed his neck and pulled him thirty centimeters from the ground and looked into his dizzy and unfocused eyes.

Morrigan tightened her grip over his neck, enjoying his suffering.

Kai struggled to breathe and tried to free himself from her hands of slaughter. Who only knows how to take someone's life.

"I don't understand, how can you use the power of law with the cultivation of magic champion? But if you tell me your secret, maybe, I will show mercy for the first time and give you a painless death," whispered Morrigan with an evil smile.

She was curious to know about it. Morrigan didn't believe that a magic champion can use the power of law. So the only conclusion can be that during her time of slumber, the laws have gone through a change or this guy is hiding some secret.

Since the time she had regained consciousness, she is feeling a sense of uneasiness and fear as well as extreme danger, and the source of her fear is this boy.

Even now, Morrigan is feeling afraid and she just can't explain why.

Her prey is already in a half-dead state.

While Kai smiled and his unfocused eyes looked at her with determination.

"Kill..me..if.you.can.no..can...ever..defeated..me. I.. am.. death"

She didn't know from where he got his will power to utter such nonsense.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of footsteps coming from behind her, and turning around she was astonished and shocked.

The boy who she was about to kill, was standing before her without a scratch and looked at her with an arrogant smile holding a white orb with black wooden staff in his right hand.

On the other hand, she found that she can't move her body.

"What do you think of this?" asked Kai as he touched her belly and a thin smile appeared on his face and looked at her.

Morrigan's eyes trembled because it was for the first time that she had made eye to eye contact with the golden eyes of Kai.

Her soul shooked in fear. The eyes of Kai were devoid of any emotions or feelings. Just by staring at them caused her blood to turn cold.

Those were the eyes of a hunter who had just caught her prey.

"Soul hand"

Said Kai as his hand turned into a dark ghostly hand and entered the body of Morrigan.

Suddenly Morrigan felt pain like she had never felt before. Like her soul itself was getting torn apart but still, her body didn't move even an inch and Kai extracted a small portion of her soul and touched the soul part with the orb. As it gets absorbed by it.

Seeing this Kai finally felt relieved and looked at Morrigan who had regained control over her body and was kneeling before Kai with an unwilling expression but saw that she couldn't do anything about it.

She can feel a special connection between him and her. It was like a contract between a master and a servant. While she is the servant and he is the master.

It was too humiliating for her but she cannot even speak without his permission.

The next moment she saw the golden eyes of Kai turning into black and her eyesight turned dark for an instant before it returned back.

Kai put his staff inside and looked at his surroundings.

He was standing in the front garden of the mansion. This place was not the domain of death but the real world.

A gentle breeze touched his skin as his hair weaved in the air. He looked towards a bright silvery full moon in the sky. The light of the moon was shining down upon the world. Making everything look more beautiful. Kai took a long breath to finally relax his body and felt relieved. This fight has put a lot of burden on his body and besides, he had to sacrifice his lifespan to win.

Turning around Kai looked at Morrigan who was kneeling on the ground.

During his time within the domain. He had used three magic spells against her. First, Kai used dark clones to distract her. To do that, the second was to cut off the connection between her mind and her body and the third was to extract her soul. Overall he had consumed 356 years of his life and 65 percent of his magic power.

'Fortunately, I had retrieved dark soul divine art from the red gem leftover after I had defeated Yakto and stored it inside my ring. With the help of Death, I was able to decode the secret of dark soul divine art to use dark clone creation magic spells as well as learn mind severing eyes. Which can temporarily separate the mind and body of the target to stop any moment of the body as well as the use of magic. While soul extract is just an evolved version of soul plunder. He could not have done it without the help of Death and his power.

'I did so much for gaining a powerful loyal servant. Nevertheless, the promise to Death remains.

I still have to transform her into a vassal of death' thought Kai.

Suddenly he heard the sound of Jai and another voice coming from the ruined room of Kai.

[Kai's Room]

"Kai is in the garden guys. He's in the garden!" shouted Asava, looking at the figure of Kai standing and was amazed.

Behind him, a woman that gave a familiar feeling was kneeling whose face he wasn't able to see.

'Is she not the woman trapped inside the ice? Why is she kneeling before Kai?'

Asava couldn't help but wonder.

Hearing Asava words Jai also looked towards the front garden and saw that Kai was waving his hands towards them.

Kai glimpsed at Morrigan "Let's go. Let me introduce you to my friends and family members. As you are going to work for me, you must know what kind of person I am."

Kai walked towards the mansion with Morrigan slowly following behind him silently like an obedient servant.
