Rise of Myriad Magic Emperor

Chapter 147: Winter Of Death (Part-3)

[Sometime before the explosion]

Kai and Death were standing side by side and looking at the ice block before their eyes, which was full of deep cracks and the woman inside could break out at any moment.

Just from the killing intent, she is releasing, Kai is one hundred percent sure that the woman is not a friendly person and even has the intention of killing him.

Though he does not know what he had, to make her react in such a way. It cannot change the outcome.

Kai saw Death taking out an old dusty black book with a title written in golden words.

But inside the book, the words were written in bloody red color on black pages. Making it look as if someone had written in with blood and the book is full of curses.

Kai looked careful and found that the title of the book was Morrigan. L. Rosalyn.

This is one of the abilities of death as the manifestation of the law of death and darkness who rules over the cycle of birth and death as well as the ruler of the Samsara world.

'Life Book'

The book has every detail of a person's life. Every action he or she has done in their life is recorded in it and generally is used by the lord of hell, one of the vassals of death responsible for the punishment of the souls, which has been completely corrupted and needs purification. It happens during the time of judgment in the court of souls at Samsara world.

The red words describe the secret and are red because they are personal secrets of a person's life and it's forbidden to be read by others. While the title represents the name of the person to whom this book belongs to.

It is also known as the book of Karma and is used to determine the next life of a soul after death. According to the deeds they have committed in the materialistic world in their previous life.

Death was currently transmitting useful information about the woman inside the ice and a way to stop her.

The woman's name is the title of the book.

Born in the Great Magic World as an orphan, with a dual physique of Progenitor Vampire and Winter Calamity from the witch race. Unexpected circumstances fused both physiques that made her stronger and helped survive in the cruel and inhuman world.

Because of her vampire bloodline, she had an extreme thirst for the blood of other races. While her Winter Calamity witch bloodline influences her desire for war and slaughtering.

Making her a cold and emotionless hunter who will never let go of her prey and her favorite prey is the human race. She has a special liking to see the despair and helplessness in the eyes of her prey before she kills or devours them and enjoys slaughtering and killing.

As Death kept sending information to Kai, as his expression turned more and more ugly. By knowing how powerful this woman is and especially that her personality is completely twisted made her extremely dangerous.

'Her personality is similar to Ellie when I first meet her. Dominating and cruel towards her enemy with no friends and subordinates meant only to follow her commands without any objection. Even now, the beasts of the Forbidden Forest tremble in fear and call her Queen or Your Highness, when addressing her. Well, she had changed a lot since the first time I met her' concluded Kai as he looked at the woman in the ice block which was already at its limit.

'This woman is more dangerous than Ellie'

Though Kai as cold sweat started to form on his forehead due to nervousness and anxiousness.

When the voice of death resonated in his mind

[You can't currently face her. But I can help you defeat her. As long you are willing to pay the price]

"Price? What price do I need to pay to defeat her?" asked Kai in a hurry. There was not much time left before the ice block was destroyed.

The cracking sound of the ice block started getting louder and louder.

Kraa kraa kraa trachaaas kraaa BOOooom

An explosion occurred and the entire room exploded. Turning it into ruin with dust and blocks of ice crystals scattered around the floor.

The woman inside the ice stood still holding a 41inch long rapier type sword in her right hand and looked around.

Suddenly she noticed the change in the flow of magic and her vision turned dark for a moment before it returned back to normal. Noticing Kai looking at her with a golden glow in his eyes while surrounded by black mist. Standing just ten meters away from her.

Surprisingly her magic sense was unable to detect Kai's presence. This gave her an imminent sense of fear and at the same time made her excitement. Her instinct and experience in fighting are constantly warning her that the person before is not a simple prey or any other person she had faced until now.

The corners of her lips curved upward as she licked her lips and looked at Kai with interest.

Kai was also looking at the woman before him. Clearly for the first time without any block of ice trapping her.

She was a tall, beautiful, slender, and voluptuous woman of 175cm with a porcelain skin color with long shining icy blue hair reaching out to her waist and has medium length bangs reaching almost to her nose. She has blue misty eyes and long eyelashes with gentle pink lips which could bewitch the soul and contained an indescribable charm. Wearing a dark violet long collar military apparel with long sleeves and low cut fitting around her breasts revealing her cleavage with a black belt around her willow thin waist and high-heeled boots.

Without a doubt, she would be a charming ice-cold beauty only if she was not wearing the military uniform and looked at Kai with sharp eyes full of killing intent.

Though he was wondering where the long skirt went?

But he didn't allow her beauty to distract him for long and focused again on the situation before him.

Currently, Kai was not in a good situation, and every second was of life and death.

The price he had to pay to use death's power of law is his lifespan itself.

Usually, only saint stage experts can use the power of law but after becoming one with death. He can also use it. The power of law is an external power that allows the Saint rank magic users to use the power of magic law and integrate it with their magic, to decide the nature of the law and its characteristics.

But death is different, he is not a magic law but instead one of the fundamental laws of the universe. With specific nature so Kai doesn't have to use magic to determine the nature of the law. But as a price had to pay with his lifespan. Death in nature is the opposite of life. The longer Kai uses his power, the more the lifespan of his will get depleted. Not to mention Kai is currently using the power of a domain. The highest form of power of the law which is used by divine magic users.

As divide magic users don't have to integrate their magic with the power of law to determine nature and most of the time law used by each divine magic user is a combination of various fundamental laws to create their own unique law.

This is used to create a domain with the power of law and the master of the domain has full control over it in his or her domain.

Death didn't want to tell him about this method. He wanted Kai not to depend on it and treat it as a trump card in his hand. In the end, the value of life is greater than some seconds of overwhelming power. Only seeing the current situation did he reveal this method to him.

According to Death, this is the fastest method to defeat her, and when she has weakened both physically and mentally, he will turn her into one of his loyal vassals.

Kai also agrees with that. It will be too much of a waste if he doesn't get any benefit out of her after sacrificing his lifespan in exchange.

Currently, he is spending one year of his life for each second in exchange for the power of death and if his lifespan falls below sixty percent, he will start to turn into an undead.

6 minutes. That is the amount of time he had to defeat the woman named Morrigan.

Kai was looking at Morrigan when suddenly she disappeared from his sight and appeared just one meter away from Kai as she thrust her sword towards Kai's hearth.

Kai reacted quickly, he grabbed her right arm and pulled her towards him.

Morrigan understood Kai's intention and let go of the sword and used her left hand to land a fist on his shoulder but Kai slightly tilted his body downwards to avoid it. But was still hit by the shock waves generated by the force behind the punch and his body was pushed five steps backward.

Morrigan didn't waste her chance and twisted her body and freed her arm from Kai's hand and lengthened the distance between them.

She had already noticed the abnormal situation and noticed that her arm had started to decay on the place where Kai had touched her. The new skin was generating at a very slow rate compared to her regular regeneration rate.

Enduring the pain, she looked at Kai who was holding onto the hilt of her sword and had a painful expression on his face.

Her saint stage sword has turned into the scrap iron before her very eyes. Seeing this she frowned, the only thing that can make her sword decay is the power of law and found it amusing.

This guy's power of law is higher than mine. How is that even possible? How can a magic champion use the power of law?

Kai was also analyzing what had happened with a calm mind. His entire left shoulder had turned numb after that shockwave was generated by the punch.

'So this is the physical strength of a peak magic Commander. But still, it's below the time I had my tyrannical body. It would be best if I fight while maintaining some distance and use my magic. If I had been hit by that punch my shoulder would have been destroyed'

As they were done with analyzing their opponents; they started fighting again.
