Divine Emperor of Death-Novel

*Whiz!~*

After the flash of white light dispersed, Niera found herself outside the spatial formation. It took her a moment to come back to herself before she turned to look around, finding that her ranking was at eighth, making her blink as it made her wonder who were all still present.

The first figures who caught her eyes were Sophie and Mu Bing battling, causing her eyes to widen. Their battle was intense, both maintaining a certain range from each other as they hurled fiery armaments and a world engulfed in an icy aura that froze the armaments and shattered them.

"Two Perfect Domains again..."

Mu Bing's illusion domain came off as a surprise to Niera. She nodded in, having her horizons widened, making her want to cultivate, learn techniques and comprehend more, increasing her prowess in Fire Laws however she could before she turned to look at the others.

"Wah~ So lucky..."

A Burning Phoenix Ridge disciple who possessed a Supreme Domain still survived.

Niera could tell from where she herself moved while looking at where Tanya Frostblight currently is, simultaneously causing her to understand that she would've bumped into Sophie and Mu Bing if she headed up when she was given an additional chance to move as a penalty.

She could also tell that the Burning Phoenix Ridge disciple was in the same location where she probably summoned as long as the rooms didn't interchange positions like she suspiciously mused before.

As for the others, there were still Drake Blackburn, her father-in-law Logan and sister-in-law Clara, leaving for a total of seven people still present in the competition.

'Sigh, I wished that I was at least in the top five…!'

Niera sighed when she suddenly flinched.

"Return."

A solemn voice suddenly echoed in Niera's mind, causing her to freeze.

She turned around, looking at Davis, who possessed an unamused expression on her face. She gulped, slowly flying towards him amidst the gaze of the crowd whose gazes alternated between her and the terrific battle above.

"If Kara Moonridge wasn't going to give up, I was going to… I just wanted to defeat her, not kill her, and if the battle prolonged, the advantage is on her side, so I must defeat her as quickly as possible, and I couldn't do that without being reckless like that..."

Niera instantly began to explain herself as she returned, looking anxious and worried that she would be berated. She cast a momentary glance at everyone and saw that they were all angered.

However…

"This reminded me that you're all going to may have possible face life and death battles in the future. It's better to gain experience while you can, especially while I'm near."

Davis calmly uttered as he looked behind, calming the other sisters who seemed angered, but in truth, was worried for Niera, complaining that he shouldn't have let reckless women leave home to battle so that it didn't cause a mishap.

They truly had enough of losing someone because of that single time he fell and honestly considered each other as sisters after that because sticking together during that time created an unseen bond amongst them.

"What did you learn?"

Davis turned to look towards Niera and asked before the latter answered.

"I learned that I truly lack defensive techniques and offensive techniques using legs. Also, my self-created techniques require more concentration and effort, meaning that I couldn't perform it as much as I could before having my palm injured. I have to perfect them more…"

"Good." Davis nodded his head, "Realizing your own techniques are crap is the first step to creating perfect techniques.

Niera couldn't help but wryly giggle, looking embarrassed as she prided herself on her self-created techniques. Only after becoming injured did she understand that they were half-baked. Losing a hand should be one thing but techniques shouldn't be becoming less efficient with only a few injuries. She understood that is fatal and that's why many techniques possessed by higher powers are more valid and easy to use even though they might be a bit hard to comprehend because of the complexity.

"But, your techniques are not only overly powerful but also beautiful and unique. I love your creativity, Niera."

"Th-Thank you~"

Niera's expression became happy and was going to explain her inspiration for creating Descending Sunset Tryst when Davis suddenly asked.

"However, why would you be so reckless when battling with Kara Moonridge?"

Niera felt like she just explained that but looking at his serious gaze, she bit her lips.

"Last time, I failed to defeat Hayou Azureclaw because I was hesitant to go all out while Sophie did a good work defending. Unless I try, I wouldn't know what I'm capable of, and now I know my limits..."

"Sigh… still…"

Davis couldn't help but heave a breath, wanting to tell her to battle more cautiously to protect herself from accidentally dying, but Niera bit her lips as she held the hem of her robe near her thighs.

"Also, I want to live up to the statement of being impertinent enough to demand an immortal treasure when we already have another immortal treasure ready for use..."

Davis blinked before he understood that she was talking about the Golden Crow Blood Essence she wanted compared to the Fire Phoenix Blood Essence that was available through Shirley's graces. He couldn't help but smile at this little lass as he raised his hand and pulled on her adorable cheek before caressing her with his thumb finger.

"Remain yourself and be proud of it, Niera. I'll go search every nook and cranny to get what you want in the ascended world, even here, and if we can't find it, I'll just hunt it if it doesn't give its blood in exchange for something else."

"Davis…"

Niera's shimmering purple eyes became misty as she saw him supporting her.

"Ahh~"

Davis suddenly lifted her up by the waist and princess-carried her, causing her to react, making her embarrassed, but when she saw that he was taking her to the resting room, her expression changed, unable to believe what was going to happen as she turned to look at his face.

Was she going to do it today?

Her heart and mind began to blare with doubts, but by the time they entered the resting hall, her expression had already become meek, looking shy and adorable like a kitten, her body all curled up in his embrace.

However, Davis put her down and touched her thigh, causing her narrow her brows in pain as he touched her where Kara Moonridge's icy dagger pierced her. But, she instantly felt comfortable and saw that a grayish-white light, comprehending that he was using his life energy to heal her. New chaptᴇrs are published on novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt

He also used his other hand to hold her shoulder and held her palm after finishing with it.

It was over in three seconds, but when Niera turned to look at the wounds that had still not closed before, even becoming worse as she overused her meridian points and pathways, become completely healed, she went shocked. She further found that even a scar was not left, making her skin look pristine and pure.

She was utterly flabbergasted, looking stunned.

"Well, I can't do this outside as the fewer people that know, the better. Although rumors may fly around as I used this kind of energy during the battle with the Poison Lord, no one would believe it anyway."

Davis explained with a smug smile, causing Niera to come out of her reverie before she shyly lowered her head, cursing herself for misunderstanding the situation. However, her lips moved.

"I'm eagerly awaiting the promise."

Davis's smug smile faded before he grabbed her palms and pulled her into his embrace.

"I will marry you as soon as I can, Niera. You have my word again."

"Mhm~"

A satisfied hum echoed, causing Davis to smile.

"Well, there's no one saving you on that day, so prepared to be ruled by this tyrant."

"Just as I wanted~"

Niera giggled as she tightly embraced him, looking as though never wanting to leave him. Davis caressed her silky blonde hair as long as she wanted, and it extended to three minutes before she separated from him, looking fully recharged as she smiled.

"Let me go change these bloodied robes!"

She hurriedly ran towards an unoccupied resting room and swiftly changed, flew back to him as she held his hand.

Davis saw that she looked as noble and pristine as ever before he took her outside and was showered in the gazes of many, who all thought that they had done it but looked confused as the time was too short for that to happen before they suddenly noticed that Niera's left palm didn't seem to even have a scar.

They speculated that he gave her a top-quality healing pill of High-Level Emperor Grade, making many people envious of the resources the Emperor of Death possessed.

*Boom!~*

Abruptly, there was a resounding explosion in the spatial bubble where Sophie and Mu Bing fought, causing everyone to turn their heads towards them!
