Red Sun licked his lips, unraveling the mysteries surrounding Moraine.
"She's quite famous even among 5th-Set's Contestants," he began, looking at Kai. "Stark Blue, Moraine the Elegant, a Contestant with Blessing from the Temple of Amon-Gorloth.
"And it's not some simple Blessing, I heard. It's the one related to the Grim Butterfly; a terrifying existence."
Red Sun winked three times as if Kai knew what he was implying.
When Kai didn't show any emotion, Red Sun cursed and continued anyway.
"If that's not enough, then consider this," he said, eying Moraine's breasts, "In her Initiation Mission, Moraine became the successor of Hysteria the Elegant from the Claymore Random World, inheriting the most beautiful technique of all — Elegance."
Kai's mouth was almost hung open. Even Moraine's eyes had widened, knowing not what to say.
Did the Dementors really suck out any hope and happiness out of this man?! They both thought.
"You…" Kai said, losing his frozen composure, "… seemed to have heard a lot."
Red Sun grinned, seeing hope.
"You must already know why I am called Red Sun by now… Cough. Sorry-sorry. Please don't put pressure. Where were we? Oh, yes. Code Name… Hehe! Do you know why her name is Stark Blue?!"
Moraine's hopeless figure shook.
"No!" she screamed. "How do you… How do you know that?!"
The absolute surge of emotions within Moraine surprised Kai. "Tell me…" he said, eying the blue-haired, trembling woman.
Red Sun looked at Moraine from the corner of his eye.
"I became curious when I heard that a Priest from the 4th Set, who had descended to 2nd Set, took a liking to her," he said, Moraine's pupils constricting. "It's a rumor, alright. Don't look at me like that. My lord, when she refused the Priest's advances, he sealed a demonic entity in her heart out of spite. But I heard another rumor later…
"… the Priest had descended for her, to begin with. There's a rumor that Moraine the Elegant is favored by the Avengers. Then I found out why she chose Stark Blue as her Code Name."
Red Sun again winked three times at Kai.
Kai felt a vein throbbing on his forehead. "Just tell me!"
"Don't you realize it yet?!" Red Sun asked, holding Kai's ankle. "She is a resurrected Storyline Character…
"… Morgan Stark — Tony Stark's daughter!"
Silence.
…
Kai listlessly stared at Moraine who kept looking at Red Sun with fuming eyes.
He had asked Meg once if Storyline Characters resurrected in the Primordial Tower or not. However, when she couldn't recall any information on it, getting obviously blocked by the Seal placed on her mind by the Temple of Hastur.
Kai hadn't received any answer, then, but he at least learned that there was a major secret about the Storyline Characters' resurrection.
Never had he imagined that he would be seeing such a Contestant himself, though.
Promise me one instance of help and this armor is yours…
Promise it on Chaos…
Fuck! Kai cursed, not knowing what had he thrown himself into.
Red Sun fought against the pressure pinning him down and slammed his chest.
"You see then, Red… I mean, my lord!" he proclaimed, blood seeping out from the corner of his mouth. "I can be quite useful in your Party. AND you must not believe any rumor about me circulating in the Primordial Tower.
"You might hear that I bring disaster upon my Party Members.
"You might hear that I am the biggest black spot in the name of Top-level Contestants.
"Also, you might hear that I like little boys… Not true. Absolutely bullshit!
"I like girls, especially with round asses and big breasts. I swear upon Chaos."
Kai: "…"
Moraine: "…"
Cersei: "…"
"Haha!" Kai suddenly laughed, making the Dementors howl along with him with rattling breaths. "Very well. Serve me and you shall know what it means to have true Power. Show them."
Kai suddenly let go of Cersei.
Her entire figure glided up, coming to rest a few feet above all.
Even the Dementors flew around her as if they didn't affect her at all.
This sight was alone enough for Red Sun and Moraine to tell that she was no ordinary Contestant.
They didn't know that she wasn't even a true living existence.
Boom!
A massive amount of fog exploded out of Cersei's forehead where the marquise-shaped dark diamond was glowing sinisterly, a touch of yellow-colored stroke slithering within it.
This fog wasn't cold or full of despair.
Though its nature deviated little from the one surrounding them all.
The fog churning around Cersei felt comprising countless shadows as if the dead had come back to a life full of grudge and malice.
The shadowy fog swirled around Cersei and then collapsed over her slim figure.
In no time, a skintight black costume manifested over her, covering her from the tip of her toes to her neck.
Her curly, golden hair swayed as if they were thousands of slithering serpents, reaching her waist.
Only her green eyes were out in the open, glowing bloody dark and evil.
Bang!
With a resounding bang, two giant bat-like wings appeared on her back, and shadows rippled around her, begging for command.
Red Sun's eyes lit up.
"Top-level 5th-floor Contestant?!" he blurted, astonished.
He knew this young lady had no simple background. Even then, he had sensed no threat from her.
Hell, he had sensed nothing out of her, to say the least.
If Red Sun hadn't seen her getting captured by the Shadow Lord, and the Five-Crowned Prince toppling heaven and earth to save her, he would have even thought that she was a King-level Contestant as well, descended to watch over Red.
So, all he had guessed was that she was a 4th-floor Contestant with a mysterious origin, and the luck to have Red's attachment.
Yet, the moment that shadow suit materialized, a power that belonged to the Top-level 5th-floor Contestant erupted out of her.
Kai marveled at the might of Ayin's ultimate technique, Qliphoth Genesis, and truly felt it was a monstrous sealing method.
This power was indeed something he had sealed into Cersei.
The same powers that were bent on turning her into a shadow being, Kai had sealed them into her, despite her having no concept of an actual body.
This was the power of the technique that could virtually seal anything.
This was Parselscript!
"Haha! This is what I offer. Power." Kai laughed maniacally.
"Now it's your turn," he said, grinning vilely. "Swear your loyalty upon the Soul-Blood Oath… Or…"
Red Sun seemed to be waiting just for these words.
"Soul-Blood — Semen-Blood, I am willing to swear any Oath!"
Kai: "…"
Moraine's lips twisted in pure disgust.
She then looked at Kai with a complex gaze.
A memory of the guess she had made regarding Red surfaced in her mind, along with her sudden loss of consciousness just when all seemed to have been lost.
Was that truly… Conqueror's Haki?!
At last, Moraine sighed.
Together, Red Sun and Stark Blue swore loyalty to Kai upon the Soul-Blood Oath, just like Meg and Spawn had done.
It was also then the pressure pinning them down vanished.
Red Sun looked at Moraine from the corner of his eyes and his gaze landed on her plump breasts.
Suddenly, his head snapped toward the devilish beauty hovering over Kai's head, covered in a shadow suit.
This?! Fuck! Red Sun cursed, his fists trembling. Why didn't I realize it before?! I… I don't have boobs!!
