Chapter 366: City Of The Dead

"Then let"s see what is going on with this place." Kana looked around and couldn"t help but feel a s.h.i.+ver run up her spine. She knew if Naru was not here with her, she would definitely feel very afraid. But this couldn"t be helped. The place she was in was, in the literal sense, a ghost town or city in this case.

As she walked down the street, making her way towards the cathedral, her sense of time slowly began slipping away. Even Naru had not noticed this fact as they kept walking towards their destination. Minutes turned to hours, and hours turned to days. Slowly two weeks pa.s.sed, and Kana seemed to be in a daze of sorts as she continued walking the streets in a complete circle without even realizing it.

Outside Old Sa"s place, a group of powerful beings had gathered together. "So you are saying she left here about two months ago, and you haven"t heard from her since?" Camlia tapped her foot off the ground and had her arms crossed across her chest as she questioned Old Sa.

"Yes, she has been gone for a while. She headed to the land of souls, where many go but never return. I am not sure where she is at this time within that place. I only hope she did not go there... " Old Sa sighed. He had forgotten something important to tell Kana before she left. And that was that she had to stay away from a certain place no matter what.

The place in question was called the city of the dead and was a place where no living being could step foot. Anyone who has entered never returns. Even the souls within it are trapped inside and can not leave that city. It is where it is said the previous G.o.d of death once lived and ruled over the dead he trapped within the city. Even throughout all the ancient wars when the lands were scarred and destroyed. The old G.o.d of death"s lands slowly expanded. His domain has slowly expanded throughout the years, leaving behind a land turned black and a ma.s.sive city of the dead that survived it all without even a single scratch.

Camlia was about to lose her cool. She couldn"t understand why a mortal realm would have so many strange things! No other world she had visited had so many anomalies on it besides this one! "Which way is this land of the dead!? From what I know, there should be no death G.o.ds alive, so if this is true that his land is still expanding, then there is a source of death element left behind that Kana can use to evolve directly into a G.o.ddess of death. My guess is that her little death element already sensed it and wanted to evolve in order to help Kana ascend. "

"Camlia!" Mel, who was at her side, stared at Camlia in shock, her gaze causing Camlia to turn and look at her. "What!? What is that look for!?"

"It"s just…. I never knew you could actually be so smart, I mean… Normally you are… Ouch!" Mel yelled out while running her head that now had a fresh lump on it.

"Say another word, and I will smack you." Camlia huffed. She wasn"t that stupid! "Anyway, Mel, we are heading there. You, two G.o.ddesses, make yourselves useful and stay here and protect my new niece. Right little girl?"

Camlia spotted Yana hiding by the door of the house when Old Sa came out. Old Sa turned to see Yana standing there and sighed: "Yana didn"t I tell you to wait inside? What if the visitors that came were people who came here to s.n.a.t.c.h you away?"

"I… But Mama..." Yana lowered her head and pouted. She originally planned to only come take a peek and leave, but when she heard Kana"s name, she couldn"t leave without knowing what was going on.

"Her name is Yana, huh? She is lucky to have Kana as her new mother. Anyway, Yana, don"t worry, I will go and bring your mother back. You play with these two here until I get back, okay?" Camlia said with a smile.

Sei and Yuthia, who had just been standing there quietly this entire time, let out a sigh and walked over to Yana. They could not go against Camlia, so it was better to do as they were told. Although even if it was someone else, they would still happily play with Yana until Kana got back. "Yana, us older sisters, will play with you until your mama is back, so let"s go inside, okay?"

"Aunty?" Yana looked at Yuthia with a confused look. She was so old but calling herself sister?

The smile on Yuthia"s face froze when she was called Aunty. Sei, on the other hand, chuckled silently with her head turned away. Yuthia lips twitched as she forced a smile and said: "Call me Sister..."

"But… You"re old..." To Yana, Yuthia was much older than her even though Yuthia looked young. But she still looked older than her mama so she couldn"t call her sister!

"Pfft! Haha, yep, she is Kana"s daughter, alright!" Sei burst out laughing. While Yuthia stood there with her lips twitching.

"Alright, since they are here, old man, you will need to come with us and show us where this city is." Camlia did not want to waste any time. She wanted to hurry and find Kana as quickly as possible. But she also had to make sure that Yana was with someone who can protect her just in case. WithYuthia and Sei here, she knew these two would be able to protect the little girl without issues.

"Miss Camlia, I must let you know that Kana is planning to bring Yana with her when she ascends." Old Sa did not know what Camlia"s plan was, but if she was going to help Kana become the G.o.ddess of death, then he wanted to let her know Kana"s plans.
