He pushed his greed further and snatched away the blue fire that was softly burning under the fireplace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He told Blanche to take it. At first, the white phoenix was quite reluctant, finding the fire quite... revolting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To her, Blanche described, that fire scented like rotten eggs would to humans. It was not something she wished to take within her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Kaden had been adamant, making the White Phoenix cry in injustice before finally obeying her master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though, she didn’t absorb it, simply storing it within her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden didn’t mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you sure about your information?\" Rea asked, eyes squinting at the faraway eight pale mountain hills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to yesterday when they came, now Rea felt like they could reach it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How strange, she thought briefly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the only lead we have.\" Kaden shrugged, \"I don’t think we have any other choice but to follow it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And besides,\" he continued, \"it’s not like we will lose anything by trying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True.\" Rea nodded, acknowledging the truth behind Kaden’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She exhaled, briefly closing her eyes. She snapped them back open not even a second later, her ruby eyes more resolute and cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We start by which mountain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The third.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As you will.\" Rea nodded and took out a pair of gray, ringed daggers from her space ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that instant, Kaden could no longer stop himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you have a thing for rings or what?\" His eyebrows arched upward. \"You have so many of them. Hell, even your hair and daggers are filled with them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This is kind of worrying,’ he added inwardly, stopping himself from showing any kind of judgment on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was truly a difficult task, and he embarrassingly failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you judging my aesthetic?\" Rea asked, eyes narrowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am simply asking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, you are judging me. Why? Did I say anything about yours?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mine is quite normal, to be honest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So mine is not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I mean...\" Kaden didn’t finish his words, looking at Rea’s annoyed face. Clearly, she didn’t like him pointing out her weird style.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly turned his head forward and coughed forcefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think we can depart now.\" He swiftly altered the subject. \"We don’t have that much time to waste.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And I know you can feel them too.\" He added, now smiling faintly. \"Let’s see who kills the most of them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why should I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are no fun, Rea.\" Kaden clicked his tongue. \"But anyway, the one who loses will cook and make the tent to pass the night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spared her a sidelong glance. \"How does it sound?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rea paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, Kaden had cooked one time, giving her food even though she was embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was delicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been a long time since she tasted something so good, for the Church of Sorrow loved to make everything about sorrow... even eating would give you the urge to cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not in the good way, to be more precise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been shy to ask him to cook, especially with her attitude toward him. However, hearing this, Rea now had a way to taste those culinary skills once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Visibly, her aura shifted, becoming more focused and determined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s make it fair.\" Rea added, knowing Kaden was stronger than her. \"You will lower your strength to Master rank.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden suppressed a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think it will change the outcome?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you afraid?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm, trying to rage-bait me?\" Kaden said. \"Well, fine. I acce—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHOOSHHH—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rea disappeared, becoming a blur of frayed light as she delved deep into the snow-white landscape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden barked a laugh. He clicked his fingers, burning the house behind him into white ashes that disappeared with the screaming wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, he summoned Reditha, his eyes focused on the monsters made of mist moving all around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You better move your ass, Kaden.\" Reditha said as she appeared behind him. \"Lady Rea is long gone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am not blind.\" Kaden said. \"I am just giving her a reasonable advantage. I am a fair man. You know even at Master rank she won’t match me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You forgot she uses fear to enhance herself.\" Reditha interjected. \"Do you know the limits of that skill? Maybe there is no limit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There must be one. Every skill has one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still, it could be high enough for her to win. And don’t you notice it?\" Reditha’s voice lowered instinctively. \"The scent around Lady Rea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden’s face became a little more serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do.\" He said. \"I did since the first time I saw her back in that tavern. The scent of Divinity is thick around her. Especially her head, and where her Origin should be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And it’s a Divinity we already came across in addition.\" Reditha added. \"Sorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden said nothing. This made him remember the event of Rea’s uncle wishing to kill her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was also the vision when he saw Luke kneeling in front of a grail-skinned woman. Kaden was not himself back then, but now, thinking back on it, he knew that woman had the Divinity of Sorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorrow... Sorrow... Sorrow...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Blanche, do you know the goddess of Sorrow?\" Kaden asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Only by name.’ Blanche croaked. ’She is called theWoefulOne. A high-ranked god among gods.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’High-ranked?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Yes. All gods are not equal. They have ranks, though I know nothing of them. I am not a god.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden tilted his head. ’I thought you were. Your family, I mean.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blanche laughed. ’We are Myth. We are born from many aspects of theSeenandUnseenWorlds. That made us have a unique power and a high level at birth. But we cannot advance. The only way to do so is...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Bind yourself to another being.’ Kaden guessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Yes,’ Blanche nodded. ’That’s why our family conducted rituals and tests to find our Host.BloodandAshesrituals, we called them. A ritual of death and rebirth through blood and ashes. But...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blanche’s voice became strained with unresolved feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...but all of us became dust scattered by the wind of time. I barely remember what happened in the last thousands of years. And I can no longer find my siblings. Where are they? Are they okay? And why did I forget?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I am now alone. I...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, Blanche panicked openly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been trying to act strong until now, but there was hardly anything as horrific as not remembering a large part of one’s life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt a sense of void deeper than anything. A void she didn’t know how to fill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden and Reditha fell silent, acknowledging her insecurities and fears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a couple of seconds,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are not alone, chicken.\" Reditha said. \"Or do we not count?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden smiled. \"Yes, Blanche. I mean, we are stuck together now, aren’t we? And don’t worry, I will find all your siblings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Will you?’ Blanche screeched happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course.\" Kaden nodded. \"I was going to do it anyway. I need your family’s fires after all. But now, I will also do it for you. I am sure they are alive somewhere.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Blanche’s turn to fall silent. But it didn’t last long as she squealed, appearing in a burst of flame and kissing Kaden on the right cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, sweetie!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden chuckled. Reditha smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then their smiles froze on their faces as they realized something...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kaden...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reditha whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes... I know.\" Kaden’s lips twitched heavily. \"I actually forgot the contest with Rea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He laughed awkwardly, then grabbed Reditha tightly, shifting his position and holding her in a throwing stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled his right hand backward, his muscles bulging and cracking, causing the air around to sizzle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, I guess I need to go a little harder on her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go, Reditha. Kill all of them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden pivoted, swirling upon himself, and threw Reditha high into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A detonating sound, like the explosion of a collapsing building, boomed around as Reditha ripped open the air, going high above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once she reached the highest point, she halted and shifted her stance so that her tip pointed downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood weaved out from her, painting the sky like blood ink on a blank sheet of paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood gurgled, swirled, then transmuted into crimson swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In one frightening moment, the sky was riddled with swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rea paused in her killing spree, looking overhead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips twitched heavily as she witnessed the storm of swords plunging down from the heavens with no delay nor mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn Kaden.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—End of Chapter 410—\u003C\u002Fp>",1479,"2026-06-03T10:53:47.503Z",1,"novelbin.me","36e74147c8fe5d7ecb4266b36209394dcdacfca0cbde7910ab90e32743e4a39f","killed-me-now-i-have-your-power-chapter-411","killed-me-now-i-have-your-power-chapter-409",481,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fkilled-me-now-i-have-your-power-cover.jpg"]
