Harem Overlord - Chapter 298
“Why am I here? Just to suffer the attitude of another elemental spirit? I should probably give up at this point…” Kai muttered to himself as he stood in front of another castle.
He was currently in the realm of the last elemental ruler, Fanglin, the spirit of life. He had no idea how she would act on seeing him.
He remembered that while all the elemental rulers had found him after he had freed Hela and Aizza, Fanglin had been standing at the back of the crowd and hadn’t even seemed angry.
It was as though she was just trying to make things pass by. Now he was wondering how her behavior would be.
‘But at least she is the last spirit I have to meet and after this, Mariel would talk to all of them. At least my part here would be done.’ He thought with a sigh as he decided to confront the last elemental ruler directly.
But as he moved towards the palace, he saw that it looked as though it had been abandoned for a long time. The entire place was extremely dirty and the entire building had many cracks running on it.
“I don’t think I am going to find anyone here.” Kai said to himself as he summoned his five spirits.
“Hey guys, do you sense any signs of life in this realm? Try looking around and then all of us will meet back here in an hour. IF you do find anything, just send me a spiritual message.” Kai told them as all five of them nodded.
“‘Now I guess I should also try looking for her.’ Kai thought as the five spirits moved out and left him alone.
As he slowly started his search, Kai remembered the conversation he had with Mariel a few minutes ago.
“Why don’t you tell me the reason for making me gather all the elemental rulers while you can certainly do it yourself, I just don’t understand the point behind this?” Kai had asked her as Mariel had given him a small smile.
“Honestly, you are the most ideal person for this task. You have Aizza and Hela’s blessing which allows you to travel between our realms and you also have a very deep connection with five spirits and you can go half spirit mode with all of them.” Mariel had replied as Kai had still looked confused.
“Don’t worry, after all of them gather here, your task here will be done.” Mariel had added as Kai sighed and had come to the only remaining special realm.
But now that he was here, he was very doubtful that someone even lived on the realm.
‘What if she left this place to visit some other realm? There’s no way I will find her if this is the case.’ He thought slowly as he suddenly stopped flying.
In the distance, he could see a certain number of roses in the middle of a field. The roses were of many colors ranging from black to red to golden.
‘There is no way that those are natural.’ He slowly thought with narrowed eyes as he moved forward to see a woman taking care of all the flowers.
Her hair were tied behind her head in a ponytail while her expression seemed happy. She was busy looking at the flowers that she didn’t pay notice to Kai floating in the air in front of her.
Or that’s what Ki thought.
“I know that you are watching me…” Fanglin whispered but unfortunately for her, Kai couldn’t hear her.
She spoke the same thing again but Kai still couldn’t hear anything.
‘I wonder what she is mumbling to herself.’ Kai thought as he decided to land down and have a talk with her.
“Um, are you by any chance the elemental ruler of light?” Kai asked as Fanglin sighed and nodded
“You finally heard me…” She whispered again as Kai looked confused.
“Did you just say something?” Kai asked as Fanglin repeated her words but he still couldn’t hear her.
He still looked confused as he moved a little closer so that he stood a few feet away from her.
“Can you please repeat your words again?” He then asked as Fanglin shook her head.
“I already spoke them so many times…” She muttered as Kai finally heard her.
“You speak in such a low voice that I had to step so forward to even hear what you were speaking.” Kai replied as Fanglin rolled her yes
“I just like speaking in this manner…” She replied as Kai shrugged.
“It’s your choice. Anyways, I have something important that I want to ask you?” Kai asked as Fanglin looked curious.
“Go ahead…” She replied as he nodded and then told her about what Mariel had asked him to do, She still looked confused.
“I see… So I am the last person left?…” She asked as Kai nodded.
“Then I guess I will go with you…” She said as Kai nodded.
“Though I have one question, why are you growing so many different colors of roses?” He asked while pointing at the flowers behind her back.
“They are the favorite color roses of the other elemental rulers… Sierra likes black roses, Mariel likes orange while Levina likes golden… Kazemi’s favorite are the blue roses while Gaia loves the plain red ones… As for the white ones, they are Xinjeng’s favorites…” She answered as Kai smiled.
“So you have the roses for every single one of the elemental rulers.” He replied as she nodded.
“Anyway, we should be going now. Do you want to take flowers for any of them?” Kai asked as she shook her head.
“I only give them these once in five years since that’s the best point to give them.” She replied as Kai nodded.
He then told the spirits that he had found the elemental ruler of light and after that, he and Fanglin left the special realm.
But little did he know that something completely unexpected was waiting for him.
