Divine Emperor of Death

"You, shut up!" The assassin kicked Bowen's head rendering him unconscious.

"Eh? Why did you beat him?" Davis asked with a frightened face.

"Haha, Prince Davis, no need to worry, I've been tasked by your father to rescue you and this won't guard just won't let me take you away from here. My name is Tyke." The assassin removed his hood. He had a handsome face that made him very easy to approach.

"Is it true? But why does my father need to rescue me? Davis questioned.

"You don't know Prince? The war between our Empire and two other Empires is going on for more than a year."

"Really? Will father be able to win?" Davis asked worriedly. He was astonished, he finally knew what has been plaguing his parents for so long.

"There is no way our Emperor will be able to win against two Empires, that's why we are going to escape." Tyke explained.

"Uh? Okay, so father did really send you to rescue me, yay!" Davis made an expression that said that he totally believed him

"Yes, my Prince, let's go" Tyke was sneering inside his head, he felt good to trap a Prince with cheap lies.

"Okay!" Davis smiled.

They happily walked holding each other's hand.

Just when they were at the entrance, Tyke suddenly uttered. "Ah! Prince! I just remembered that I was sent by the invading Empire and not your father!"

"Eh? You're lying!" Davis made a surprised sound.

Tyke slowly turned around, his face was filled with scars and looked evil, not looking handsome anymore. He wanted to see the terror on the little kid's face, so that he can proceed to knock him out and abduct him.

Davis had a mocking expression on his face.

"Eh?"

Tyke was astonished to realize that the Prince didn't seem to be terrorized.

"Why don't we make this farce end? Mister Casper." Davis questioned calmly.

Tyke immediately felt that something was wrong and jumped back. His eyes wide open and turned soulless, he then started spilling out any information he knew and died.

Davis removed his space ring and binded it as his own. He then erased the soul marks of his father and mother using his Death Note. During the experiments, he noticed that the Death Note emits Dark and Evil Energy which is especially useful to corrode and exterminate souls. He then wore the Sky Grade black robe which conceals a person's aura deeply, he then stored Casper's corpse and made his way to the North Gate.

A few minutes later, after he left, Hendrickson reached the prison. He was angry to see all the guards assassinated. He went inside furiously, only to see Bowen unconscious and Davis missing,

He then woke Bowen up and managed to learn that Davis had been abducted. He then took out his crystal and reported it to Logan.

After arriving at the North Gate, Davis saw his mother get humiliated by them, he thought he will immediately give them cruel deaths but then realized that there soul was more powerful than him by one stage.

Davis had reached Low Level Infant Soul Stage while he was in the prison. He had found that his Death Note absorbs the souls that it kills, and refines it to increase his Soul Energy. He was already on the verge of breaking through earlier, this ability had helped him a lot.

They then talked about their armies fighting each other. Davis silently waited for his opportunity to massacre them.

He used his Death God Sense to write the names of all the soldiers and commanders of the enemy army.

The Death God Sense was the ability he gained after attaining the Infant Soul Stage during his stay in the Prison. He used the Death Note in tune with his Soul Sense to use the Death God Sense. Using it, he could see the names and lifespan of all the people that were in his Soul Sense.

After massacring them. He didn't opt to absorb their deceased souls lest he gets caught. He then immediately left the North Gate slowly when no one dared to speak or probe around with their senses.

He then swiftly returned back to the prison and saw that no one was there currently. He suddenly had an idea.

He went into an isolated cell that was with a living prisoner and entered it.

Davis then used the Death Note to write the Prisoner's name to make him his puppet.

He then retrieved Casper's corpse, a dagger and a sword from the space ring, unbinded it and placed it on the corpse. He then gave the sword and the dagger to the prisoner. The prisoner stabbed the sword at the heart of the corpse. The sword stayed right there, pierced into Casper's heart.

Davis then made his soul aura blindly fluctuate 2000 metres of his surrounding and made himself faint beside the corpse. This caused a slight damage to his soul but was negligible.

The prisoner who saw that, bit his fingers and wrote on the wall of the prison. Then stabbed himself in the heart using the dagger.

Hendrickson who was wildly escaping with Clara and Bowen, immediately noticed the soul fluctuation.

"It's coming from the direction of the prison!" Both exclaimed simultaneously.

Hendrickson looked at Clara and gritted his teeth, he then gave Bowen a transmission crystal and ordered.

"Bowen, immediately check what's happening in the Prison!"

Bowen accepted and quickly went to check inside the Prison, only to find Davis fainted beside the Assassin's Corpse and a Prisoner's Corpse. He then saw some words written on the wall that looked like a dying message.

"I hope that with this, the Empire will forgive my sins."

He immediately reported it to Hendrickson, who then relayed it to Logan.

...

"Emperor! We've found the Prince fainted in the Prison along with two corpses! One seems to be a Prisoner while the other seems to be the Assassin."

"What!?" Hearing that, Logan was so ecstatic that he couldn't believe his ears. He after all, thought that Davis was abducted.

"Yes! What I've said is true! I am at the South Gate of the Royal Capital with Clara. Bowen made his way to secure Davis and escape!"

"No need! We won the war! Return to the Royal Castle as quickly as possible with Bowen and Davis!" Logan commanded excitedly.

"What!? We won the war? Yes!!" Hendrickson immediately changed his course and headed back to the Royal Castle while informing Bowen to return to the Royal Castle with Davis hurriedly.

Logan hastily returned back to Claire who was still trying to get away from their encirclement.

When Logan saw her, he immediately sent a Soul Transmission to her.

"Claire! Davis is safe!"

"What!? Are you lying? How?" Claire had an angry expression on her face lit with hope. She thought that Logan was lying, just to make her calm down.

"Really! Hendrickson and Bowen managed to find Davis inside the Prison fainted, let's go back to the Royal Castle and meet them." Logan excitedly explained.

Claire was so ecstatic that she immediately left in the direction of the Royal Castle before Logan could catch up with her.

Claire reached the Royal Castle and just when she entered, she immediately saw Davis, who was being carried by Bowen.

"Davis!"

Claire immediately got Davis and hugged him tightly shedding tears of joy.

Logan also arrived and smiled when he saw the spectacle. He heaved a sigh of relief.
