Divine Emperor of Death-Novel

Chapter 1419 - Back To That Island

"I’m practically excited!"

A purple-eyed blonde-haired man in white robes stretched his arms as if engulfing the world.

The scenery in front of him was practically wide with ocean and clear skies, making it all the more worthwhile for him to shout like a madman.

"Good, because we’re going to finally get them back, father-in-law..."

Another blonde-haired man in a purple robe chuckled, feeling what he was doing was not wrong so far.

These two were none other than Nero Alstreim and Davis flying above the Grand Alstreim Ocean on a flying boat, heading towards the Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago.

Nero Alstreim’s expression fell as he turned to look at Davis, "Are you really serious about my second daughter?"

"What do you mean?"

Davis furrowed his brows. Hadn’t he made his intent already clear?

Nero Alstreim’s expression became complex. He looked towards the horizon, heaving a low sigh.

"You’re a desirable man who many women would like to get their hands on. I haven’t gone out of the Purple Guest Palace as I have kept a watch on my first daughter’s happiness. She is truly happy, even calling me a creep when I tried to talk to her while changing my voice. Your father apologized in her stead secretly, saying that circ.u.mstances didn’t allow me to be treated right. I can see that you have a wonderful family and wonderful wives who would take care of you."

"Therefore, I can’t understand why you would choose my second daughter other than to form a tie with our family that will enable you to establish a solid relationship between the two families that aren’t exactly hostile but aren’t friendly either at the moment."

"Is your love towards Niera birthed because of... diplomacy?"

Davis blinked before he chuckled, "Hehe, father-in-law, were you that bored to think about this day and night in this one month?"

"How rude!" Nero Alstreim’s expression went red, "I’m thinking about my second daughter’s life seriously, and I assure you that you will suffer the same when you have a daughter yourself."

Davis felt a chill up his spine as he heard the fact that it sounded like a threat or a curse. This threat was more effective than any enemies he had faced, making him quickly answer.

"Wait, wait. I don’t love Niera as much as I love my wives, but it is true that I had fallen for her. Her endearing character and innocence are completely up my zone. She’s too lovable for me to give up, especially when I had already promised her. It’s already too late to pedal back, father-in-law..."

"I see..." Nero Alstreim nodded, turning to look towards the bright blue ocean.

"Your words make it sound believable, although I hope that you would strive to love her more..."

Davis pursed his lips, smiling with confidence, "That would naturally happen with time. I just hope that she wouldn’t change her mind herself because I would be pissed off and might kill her instead because, in my heart, she is already mine."

Nero Alstreim blinked, looking stunned at Davis before he chuckled.

"I don’t think Niera would ever change her mind. Keira and I never raised her to be an unfaithful woman. You saw how she fought for us not to sacrifice each other in order to live together. She won’t abandon us, much less you who she believes will marry her and love her till she dies."

Davis nodded his head, and that moment of sacrifice was the time he had truly thought that she was a woman whom he should win over and make love to rather than the women who didn’t suit his tastes.

Nevertheless, at this moment, he gauged Nero Alstreim’s reaction and couldn’t help but once again feel that this world was strength-centric. The punishment for disloyalty was death, and there were little to no double standards. It was rather free-for-all.

Anyone can do anything as long as they had power.

A woman who hadn’t accepted her husband being with another woman would also try to kill her husband, whether through poison or using other men.

If he had uttered that he would kill his wife in the modern world, he would’ve been called crazy and a lunatic, but it was absolutely normal here that Nero Alstreim didn’t even bother him to call those names but instead was convinced that he truly loved her.

’Admittedly, swearing to kill if the other party betrayed is considered a form of declaring love here...’

Davis couldn’t help but chuckle, finding this world to his liking more and more rather than the double standards of law and ethics which the countries back on Earth adopted. His experience with Evelynn and Natalya also told him that they took his words as a form of love. Heck, even Evelynn had told him that she would poison him if he were to ever leave, and he felt that it was endearing in its own form.

Were they all crazy? Or was it the modern people’s fault for twisting whatever they could find that did not fit with their morals or their so-called political correctness?

Davis couldn’t bother less as he traveled straight towards the Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago. The journey was mostly silent until he arrived at the Dark Thunder Island, where he told Nero Alstreim to stay at the shore of the island before the latter acquiesced without asking anything.

Davis left Nadia there for Nero Alstreim’s protection. She was not here exactly as her doppelganger was the one who had tagged along with him while her main body was still protecting the Purple Guest Palace. He spoke with her for a while before turning around, heading towards the direction the soul mark was pointing towards.

He crossed this space where black-lightning perpetually fell like rain. The harmful grey fog that covered the entire Dark Thunder Island didn’t impede him at all. He flashed through the island at an incredible speed as though he was a specter, and in a mere minute, he stopped in front of a region that didn’t allow him to enter.

*Boom!~*

A thick black-lightning bolt fell from a few tens of meters away from him, making him widen his eyes.

A low-level ninth stage lightning bolt!

If it had hit him, there was little he could do to protect himself.

Nevertheless, he had no need to enter the core region as he turned to look around, spotting the existence he was looking for, the black-lightning globular bolt that simply floated in the air, feeding on the black-lightning that fell on it, sometimes even absorbing the remnant energy left behind from the ninth stage lightning bolts.

"Eldia, come here..."

Eldia had already noticed. She flew towards him, arriving within a few seconds before she stopped in front of him, hovering as her black-lightning body crackled.

Davis stared at her, looking entranced by this Lightning Elemental. She looked very beautiful in his eyes that reflected her arcs of black lightning swinging around her globular bolt energy body. It was even more so when he recognized that she was called the Purgatory Extinction Lightning, ranked third in Emperor Grade Lightning Elemental Rankings.

At the moment, she was just a Mid-Level Emperor Grade Lightning Elemental, where she was malnourished for thousands of years because of the Silverwinds. Her energy level was at the High-Level of Eighth Stage, but at this moment, it had entered Peak-Level Eighth Stage, making it obvious that she had regained back her strength and health to her peak.

Her time at this island had made her regain back what she once was, proud and mighty!

’Now then... will she defect?’

Davis smiled a bit as he mused, but unfortunately for her, he had no thoughts on letting this woman go as well!

"Eldia, do you remember what we talked about when we went our different ways?

"Yes, Master. I understand that it’s time to follow you." Eldia’s melodious voice echoed.

Davis nodded his head, relieved that she didn’t fight with him. Or, she could be planning to enter and kill him from within, but then, was Eldia such a Lightning Elemental?

Lightning Elementals were said to be proud and aggressive. Was Eldia the same, or was she deceptive?

Since it became apparent to him that Wills has emotions just like other races, he didn’t throw away the possibility as long years of torture might’ve changed her mentality. He couldn’t help but probe further as his lips moved.

"Eldia, have you found what you were looking for?"

"Master, I wasn’t looking for anything. I simply wanted to regain my energy here and feel comfortable in the environment I was born in...

"Feel comfortable... huh...."

Davis uttered with complex feelings. Even though it was apparent, he found it strange that Wills could possess feelings. It could be said that he just hadn’t gotten used to it even though he had seen it many times.

Maybe, he could finally get used to it after he had bonded with her.

"Alright, you can come back..."

"Yes... Master..." Eldia sounded rather reluctant, making him understand that she rather found it difficult to leave her birthplace.

However, she dispelled the energy body around her, turning into a humanoid silhouette.

Davis couldn’t help but blink. Her entire figure was shaded in rippling black that was truly entrancing as black-lightning strands ran like veins inside her body, but he could see the curves of a woman, making him dumbfounded.

Could it be that after she had regained her strength and was no longer malnourished, her figure became more prominent?

Nevertheless, right now, what remained of her was her n.a.k.e.d body, in other words, her Will. She had cast away her energy body that she would use to attack and defend, ready to enter him.

Davis took a deep breath before his lips moved.

"Enter..."

Eldia slowly moved as she neared his abdomen and entered. Davis’s eyes narrowed, finding it a bit scary even though he had let her enter him previously because she had now regained her strength and was truly powerful. Nevertheless, using the same tactic before, he quickly surrounded her Will with his soul force tinged with Fallen Heaven’s Death Laws, making her tremble.

"Master~~~ I’m scared..."

Eldia quivered while pouring out her grievances. Her petite black-lightning figure came to a stop in front of the dantian.

"Don’t worry. I won’t harm you as long as you don’t harm me."

"I won’t harm Master!!!"

Eldia screamed, looking truly scared as she flew a step back, wanting to leave but was also impeded by the death energy. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelenglish.net . (f)ire.ɴet

Davis’s brows twitched. He looked like a villain to himself, cornering her like that. If she was truly saying that she wouldn’t harm him, then he was rather scaring her into distrust, but if she was saying that so he would take his defenses away, then his revolving core might probably explode from her attack.

"Eldia, I told you that we would grow together, but you are too threatening for me to handle when inside. You understand my plight, right?"

He asked, waiting for her answer.

"But master, I truly won’t harm you... please..."

It was almost as if Eldia cried that Davis’s expression became awkward.

Her freedom was dangerous to him, and his death energy was dangerous to her Will, capable of instantly erasing her just as she was capable of destroying his body, making her absolutely frightened.

Truly, they were stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Therefore, one of them would have to adjust and move on, or it might eventually devolve into distrust and devolve into a battle!

Davis’s eyes narrowed, feeling like he was overly distrustful. But he also had a plan, making him feel rather confident unless Eldia was really planning on destroying him into pieces.

"Alright, I will take my energy back. I believe you..."

Eldia looked at the receding energy. She still trembled, looking around the meridian veins before she no longer found anything of concern.

"Than- Thank you, master..."

With an echo, she moved towards his dantian, wanting to find her place to stay. Davis was surprised that she would know how to thank. Perhaps, did Zanna Silverwind teach her to be respectful when she gains some time outside?

Nevertheless, Davis didn’t think about this as he closely watched her movements.

However, when she arrived at his dantian...

"Master!!! That- That’s...! Heavenly lightning!!!?"

Eldia’s stunning voice echoed with deep disbelief, causing Davis to smile even more in satisfaction!
