Kar hovered over the ledge and crossed to the other side. As he landed on the boulders, his foot regenerated. He could tell that his enemies still had a faint pulse although they were severely wounded. A thought crossed his mind to kill them, but he couldn't waste ti.
"The amplifier had the highest importance," Kar muttered as he looked at the fog ahead of him. The amplifier seed to be behind a portal of sorts that expanded space. The cramped underground space held an infinite sea of fog.
The calamity stepped into the fog, and he felt his feet sinking into an infinite abyss. The more he stood, the more his feet seed to sink lower, so he had to keep on marching. The more he walked through the fog, the more Kar realized that this amplifier was sothing extraordinary.
"If it can create this vast expanse of space for this many years, it ans the amplifier is no man-made device. It must be... a relic."
Kar grew excited as he held the gauntlet in his hand, which was also a relic. These items ca down from the highest realm, Devaheim. Their effects there could be called ordinary at best, but they were world-changing in their lower world.
If such an item fell into his hand, Kar imagined his powers growing more than before. If he could double his strength with this amplifier, he would stand as the greatest calamity to exist.
Spade had betrayed them, but Kar was still grateful for the man's intel. His reasons for serving Deluge were unknown, but the calamity couldn't care less about an inferior sin.
Kar walked deeper into the fog, but he felt the fog grow bigger the more he did. It seed infinite and ever-stretching. It was at that ti that Kar raised a hand and used his blood arts.
A long blood platform appeared, and Kar jumped atop it. Then, he began traveling through the fog faster than it could expand. After a few minutes, Kar finally saw sothing. On a far island inside the fog stood two people.
Valeria stood next to Rain while staring at sothing on the island. Kar landed behind them with a grin. The two won seed to expect his arrival and did not even care to turn around.
"This is the truth that you wanted," Valeria said to Rain as she held her hand tight. "I never wanted you to feel that you were created for this purpose."
"Created?" Rain muttered with confusion as she kept staring downward. Kar was confused as he turned his eyes toward the furniture on the island. There was a small bedroom with a tiny bed, table, and stuffed toys.
"Give the amplifier," Kar shouted as he turned his blood into a sword, grabbing it using the gauntlet. "And I might offer you a peaceful death."
This ti, Rain turned toward him. Her eyes seed lost, but resolute. She was helpless, but confident. Her resigned eyes seed to look at Kar with pity.
"There is no amplifier, Sin of Gluttony," Rain explained with a smile. "This place is all there is. A small room for a girl to live inside for over a hundred years."
"What are you blathering about?" Kar asked with a frown. "Give the amplifier." "Like I said..." Rain said while stretching out her hand. A blue sphere ford atop her hand. "There is no amplifier. There is only ."
"You? And who are you?" Kar asked with more confusion as he aid his weapon at Valeria. "Give the relic or I shall kill her before you. A slow and grueso death-1 can even make her into an immortal creature that never stops feeling pain."
"A relic?" Rain muttered with a smile. "That's the first ti I'm called that."
Kar was confused again, but realization dawned on him. He realized the reason that he felt this oddity about the woman before him. He expected her to be a fake calamity, but he couldn't be more wrong.
"You are... the amplifier," Kar muttered with a smile before he began laughing. "I never expected to find you here. This is the real reason that my relic didn't work against you," Kar said while looking at his gauntlet. "How could a relic work against a creature like you?"
"She is nothing other than a human," Valeria said with a frown. "And my daughter, too." "Your daughter?" Kar laughed as he heard her words. "As if sothing like this can be your daughter - a divine human! That's who you are, right?"
The concept was foreign to Kar, even despite his life as an immortal for thousands of years. When a divine creature descends into their world, they can bread with the creatures of this world. And once they do, they create a hybrid of divinity.
Kar was confused when Rain introduced herself as half-calamity, but it made sense now. Rain was not the Sin of Lust, but soone who imprinted the Sin of Lust. Her appearance and powers were taken from the Sin of Lust.
"I no longer feel the need to talk to you, Kar," Rain said while staring at the blue sphere in her hand. "It is ti... for you to leave."
Kar watched as the blue sphere began turning red. Rain's silver hair began turning red before his eyes. Furthermore, he could feel his powers being imprinted upon and replicated. Additionally... his powers were being amplified.
The calamity knew that he was about to lose, but he wasn't upset. This was the natural course of action. If Rain was indeed the amplifier descended from Devaheim, he was bound to lose.
Rain created a giant sphere of blood that encompassed Kar's powers. She turned the blood into several weapons that surrounded the calamity. Kar did not attempt to resist, because he could feel the difference between their powers.
"Arthur Netherborne is one lucky man," Kar said with a grin as the countless weapons ca toward him. "Even without knowing it... he obtained such a monster on his side!"
The countless weapons ripped Kar apart as his gauntlet shattered. His blood dyed the infinite fog and seeped into the bottomless abyss. Rain stood in the sa spot, staring at her own powers.
"Disgusting."
