Chapter 1363 How To Die

On the other side of the world, Kar stood before the great barrier that Valeria had guided them to find. It was a sphere of strange energy that repelled them back while lying beneath the underwater island. Kar traced his fingers on the barrier, feeling its force pushing his hand back.

“I can feel the power buried behind this barrier,” Kar said with a twisted smirk as blood dripped from his fingers. The blood formed small runes on the barrier as it began to erode it. However, the barrier stood strong and firm.

“You cannot dispel this barrier through normal means,” Spade said with an

unimpressed expression before turning to Valeria. “You know the secret to dispelling it, right?”

“As if,” Valeria said with a shrug. “This barrier appeared after we left the amplifier here.” Spade stared at her for a while, as if to see if she was lying. Then, he turned to Kar and nodded at him. Kar let out a smirk as he raised his hands high, summoning a whirlpool of blood.

“As if a mere barrier could stand against me,” Kar said with a smirk as the whirlpool of blood began solidifying to form a sword. “Taste my strongest-

Kar was still talking when the three felt something behind them. As they turned, they saw a pulse of force heading toward them. Kar redirected his sword to strike the forcefield, shattering it to pieces.

At the same time, two figures jumped from above and landed on the path. Waterfalls surrounded them from left and right, while Kar and the rest stood at the end of the small, narrow path.

“Let her go,” Rain said, raising her sword, her eyes burning with rage. Sapphire landed behind her and summoned another forcefield above them, ready to send it smashing toward the three.

“… Who are you two?” Kar asked with a smirk, unable to recognize them. “Do you know them?” he asked Spade.

“One of them is the Witch of Sourna, Princess Sapphire. It is said that she could generate a force capable of flattening mountains. As for the other… it’s our bargaining chip.”

“Bargaining chip, you say?” Kar muttered, looking at Rain with interest. “This strange presence… and this gorgeous figure… she looks tasty!”

“We had a deal,” Valeria reminded as she stepped toward Kar, but blood splattered on the ground in the next instant. Kar pierced Valeria with his blood sword without hesitation, to the shock and dismay of the crowd.

“Valeria!” Rain screamed as she rushed forward. Kar pulled out his sword, letting more blood gush out of the old pirate as she collapsed on the ground. Then, he licked the blood off his sword and turned toward Rain.

“You two are no longer necessary,” Kar said with a grin as he slashed his sword at Rain. A blood arch flashed faster than any of them could react, almost severing Rain in half. However, the next instant, her entire body sank into the ground.

Rain disappeared into the ground and reappeared behind Sapphire. She collapsed on the ground, and the veiled woman rushed toward her. Kar stood confused at how Rain dodged his attack before turning to Spade.

“What do you think you are doing?”

Spade stood silent, with his hand raised, mana leaking from his body and creating the portal next to the collapsed Valeria. He turned to look at her blood pooling beneath her instead of answering.

“I will give you one more chance to explain why you saved that woman,” Kar said as he lowered his sword. His red eyes stared at Spade, who stood motionless.

“She did her end of the deal,” Spade replied before turning to look at Kar without any expression. “She guided us toward the amplifier in return for her daughter’s safety. I won’t break a deal.”

“You won’t, but I’m not you,” Kar said, gritting his teeth in rage. He spoke with seething anger. “Interfere again, and I will kill you as well.”

Spade did not respond to his threat, and Kar turned back toward Rain and Sapphire. He raised his blood sword and slashed, causing droplets of blood to fall on the soil. Each droplet of blood began growing and turning into a red, grotesque monster. The small creatures rushed toward Rain and Sapphire with sharp teeth and claws. Sapphire waved her hand, sending the creature flying. However, even after being crushed by her forcefield, they multiplied and surrounded them again.

“We have to save Valeria,” Rain said with teary eyes. “If she loses any more blood…” “I know,” Sapphire said as she helped Rain stand. “But we cannot rush forward again.” “That would be wise, Princess,” Kar said with a grin. “A mere deme-ranker cannot even dream about fighting a calamity. If you want to bring me down… you would have to summon a guardian or a god.”

“I will make you swallow those words back,” Rain said with a grin, “Because I am a sin myself.”

“A sin?” Kar muttered with confusion. “What is she talking about?” he said while turning to Spade.

“She is the other half of the Sin of Lust,” Spade explained while staring at Rain. “She is Lord Eros’ twin sister and other half.”

“What kind of bullshit is this?” Kar asked with confusion as he turned back to Rain. “Half a calamity? Do you think that calamities are cakes you can cut in half? Such a thing is impossible!”

Spade was confused now, and Rain was the same. Kar seemed to be telling the truth, but it didn’t explain how Deluge and Rain had the same powers of hypnosis. Although Rain’s powers worked using love, she was still able to steal the life essence of others. “Forget it,” Kar said with a sigh. “I’ll just kill them both.”

Kar stomped on the ground, making the entire path shatter to pieces. He bolted forward faster than anyone could react, reaching Rain in less than a millisecond. His sword reached her neck and cut through it like butter.

“Rain!” Sapphire shouted as she sent her force blasting, but Kar flicked it off with the palm of his hand. Then, he turned to Spade, who now had Rain standing next to him with confusion.

“I should have never trusted a human,” Kar said with a bloody grin. “You will die alongside them, it seems.”

“That is fine by me,” Spade let go of Rain as he advanced forward while taking off his jacket. “It is a privilege to choose how I die.”
