"Wow, your life never stops being eventful, does it?" Inari asked as Kai sighed and nodded.

"The question is, how did she come here and remain undetected for so long?" Inari asked as Kai pointed at her.

"Just like you, she is not a spirit too. Yet, she managed to stay hidden despite being a member of the royal family. The answer to that is simple, she can become exactly like the person she last killed." Kai said s the two women looked surprised.magic

"She has the powers of all types of plants including insectivorous plants. A characteristic that plants have is that they can survive in any location in which they are naturally born in. Ursula could do that too except that she can turn into the person she last killed and absorbed." Kai explained as the Inari fell silent.

"So that's how she was able to summon Kazemi's sword for a sword while and was able to fool us with it. No wonder that the royal family got duped too." Hela muttered as Kai nodded.

"There's no point in going to the palace of elements anymore. We are down in manpower and we have a bigger issue at hand now. There's a chance that Ursula would try to capture one of my reincarnated harem members here so we have to find them before she does." Kai said as Hela nodded while Inari shook her head.

"I am going to go somewhere on my own and hide for the time being. I have to go back to the abandoned realms one day so it's better to keep a low profile for a few days and it's impossible to keep a low profile if I keep roaming around with you. So this is bye for now." Inari said as Kai sighed and raised his right hand forward for a handshake.

Inari shook it as she took out a pill and swallowed it. Her body suddenly turned invisible as she vanished from Kai and Hela's vision.

"So where are we gonna start from?" Kai wondered out loud as she turned towards Hela to ask her opinion. But Hela looked deep in thought so Kai went silent and let Hela continue thinking whatever she was thinking.

"Kai, can we first go to my special realm?" Hela asked as Kai looked surprised."Yes, we can. Let me teleport us to its entrance." Kai replied but Hela shook her head.

"No, that's my official special realm. While I and the other elemental rulers were creating the spirit realm. Aizza and I created a special realm only for both of us. I want to go there." Hela said as Kai nodded.

"Tell me the location." Kai said as Hela stepped forward and touched her forehead to his forehead as she transmitted the memories of the place to Kai's mind.

Both of them then vanished as they appeare4 in a random spot above the ocean as Kai looked towards Hela who nodded and bent down towards the ocean. She bit her finger and trickled some of her blood into the ocean.

Drops of her blood traveled deep into the ocean as the water suddenly started to glow a deeper shade of red. The glow traveled up from the water and surrounded Kai and Hela's bodies too.

Their bodies vanished as their vision went black for a few seconds. But suddenly, they appeared in a new environment.

Kai and Hela were standing near a beautiful open meadow as they glanced around with surprised expressions.

"Hela, if I am not wrong, you said that this was a private special realm." Kai asked as Hela slowly nodded with a slightly open mouth.

"Then how the heck are spirits living here?" Kai asked as both of them peered down in front of them.They could see houses as well as a few small-scale factories as well. Many shops were also visible in the place.

"How is this possible? No one should be present here." Hela muttered to herself as Kai shrugged.

'Should we go and explore this city? We might find some valuable information there." Kai asked as Hela shook her head.

"No need to do that. Let me see if I can still control this special realm." Hela replied as she closed her eyes and started focusing.

Kai on the other hand was fully alert and was making sure that no one was seeing him or Hela. Hela opened her eyes after a few seconds with a smile on her face.

"Looks like I can still control this place. Let's see how this place has so many spirits living on it." Hela muttered as she touched Kai's forehead with her fingers and the world suddenly faded out of their vision.

Both of them then saw the same place they had been standing in a few minutes earlier but there was a major change in it. No city was present there and only greenery was there.

"How are spirits rising here. I don't remember this place having spiritual energy." Hela muttered as numerous beings suddenly started to rise from the elements.

A few human-like creatures rose from the earth while some appeared with a swirl of wind. This was how spirits were born from the nature but this required the presence of spiritual energy to be there but according to Hela's words, no spiritual energy was present there in the special realm.

From there on-wards, Kai and Hela saw the spirits slowly start to develop. Time passed very quickly as the spirits went from living in straw-built hurts to creating a modern city.

Hela then stopped the thing from playing as she and Kai returned to the real world and both of them glanced down at the city with an even more confused expression.

"I still don't understand how this is possible." Hela muttered but before Kai could reply, both of them felt the presence of a being behind them.

"Finally found you." A familiar voice echoed around in their ears.
