Divine Emperor of Death-Novel

Chapter 2143

"How... how did you break the Reaper Lock's chains?"

The Villa Master used the might of the Legacy Artifact and his own prowess, not to mention a lot of Schleya's young blood, to cast this technique. It should've been unbreakable even if Schleya was more powerful than him by a level!

Therefore, the shock of this matter got to him, causing his mouth to become agape as he subconsciously asked her, and then, he could feel his face burning with humiliation as he knew that he acted like a complete amateur at this moment, unbefitting of the person who led the Blood Pledge Villa for eight thousand years.

"For a person who takes vile pleasure in toying and killing innocent people, you could never comprehend the essence of the Blood Pledge Worldheart Manual."

The Villa Master couldn't help but smile, "What nonsense are you talking about...?"

"I finally understand..." However, Schleya was in her own world, seemingly reminiscing, "Why our founder defected from the Blood Reaper Underworld and made the Blood Pledge Villa. However, it seems like the founder's wish of turning into a righteous path sect wasn't granted by the hypocrites of the righteous world, turning them into a vile person and deciding the fate of the Blood Pledge Villa to be a wicked path power."

A vein popped off on the Villa Master's forehead, causing his lips to twitch.

"I'm... asking... you... what are you going on about!?"

Schleya shot a derisive look in response.

"Haven't you read the fifth page, the third verse where it was written that blood is not evil but something that connects us all as living beings, forming an encompassing bond so as to understand each other, not having to shed blood in the end? Now I can understand that the founder of the Blood Pledge Villa wrote that with the thought of proving to the world that Blood Laws was not evil at all in the very beginning but, in the end, was betrayed by the righteous path people."

"As proof, the latter half of the Blood Pledge Worldheart Manual was full of hate to the workings and ways of the righteous path. However, his hate did not cloud his true heart, nurturing the Blood Pledge Worldheart Manual to be one of tame yet mystical blood refining methods, even leaving an immortalized version when ascending for his descendants. In fact, as a person who experienced both sides of bond and severance, the founder was able to perfect the manual to the extreme."

"You..."

The Villa Master looked as though he realized something, recalling the chapters and verses of the Blood Pledge Worldheart Manual. It was always a manual that told its users to ponder on both sides of extremities and its relation to the intricate karmic coherence of blood, but now that he listened to Schleya, it told him that he had to have a...

"In short, those who don't have a pure heart won't be able to comprehend the essence of Blood Pledge Worldheart Manual."

"Bitch!" The Villa Master couldn't help but shudder, "You killed so many people, and yet you claim that your heart is pure!?"

"My heart isn't pure, but I didn't enjoy killing them, unlike you. I killed them because I had to."

Schleya slashed Crescentblood at the empty air, and the Villa Master, who was a hundred kilometers away, had his shoulder sliced apart, his left arm dropping off his shoulder as blood spurted like a fountain. It caused the Villa Master to stagger and look at his severed shoulder in disbelief, wondering how she struck him using Blood Pledge Arts without him coming to even sensing it.

Could it be that her comprehension has truly exceeded him!?

Schleya waved her other blade, and this time, the Villa Master's right leg was chopped off, causing him to fall on his butt, still hovering in mid-air, but with the faint air of death enveloping him, he uncontrollably shuddered.

Not only was Schleya overwhelming him with her comprehension of Blood Laws, but the surroundings were completely sealed by the Reaper Soul Legion, disallowing him to escape even if he wanted to. He could sense that their spirit formation even countered his escape arts, and that was like the nail on the coffin, making him even clatter his teeth before he clenched them heavily.

"You Vitalichors were always tame and passive, and that's what I didn't like about you all, deciding to completely eradicate your bloodline from this world!" ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ ɴoᴠel ꜰɪre.nᴇt

*Whoosh!~*

Schleya appeared in front of the Villa Master with Crescentblood in her hands. She saw the miserable figure of Villa Master, a faint smile appearing on her face.

"No, the reason why you decided to eliminate my family lies in the hidden truth that the founder's name or surname is Vitalichor, isn't it?"

"...!"

The Villa Master became shocked on hearing Schleya's words. After all, only the Villa Masters of the Blood Pledge Villa could encroach upon the secrets of the founder. The Vitalichor family had declined long ago, but their bloodline still existed, allowing them to live a wealthy and authoritative life in the Blood Pledge Villa as though they were royalty before finally forgetting their roots and living as ordinary Elders.

The previous Villa Master might have ignored them, but he did not, and that was because he wanted to make them...

"The reason you left me alive is to also stain my bloodline with yours once I enter the Ninth Stage, causing the Vitalichor Family to become extinct once and for all. However, it was a pity that a powerful person had to interfere with your plans, making you tremble like a tortoise hiding in its shell."

Schleya raised her blades, casting the Reaper's Lock Technique on him as bloody chains encased him. After that, she sent her blades which slowly started to skin him alive, first clipping off his nails one by one and then his toenails before proceeding to stab into those bloody openings and abrade the skin off as though scrapping fish skin.

"Ahhhhhh!!!"

The Villa Master had endured for a long while, but he could no longer take it, screaming atop of his lungs. The excruciating pain even surged into his soul, causing him to release those blood-curdling sounds.

The cultivators of the Blood Pledge Villa stood in their places, witnessing this scene with wide eyes as though not wanting to miss a single motion, and Schleya answered their wishes, skinning him live in front of the entire world and finally cut off his member.

Schleya took a few steps back and smiled at the mind-boggling art of flesh she made.

Blood poured on the ground like rain while the Villa Master was only left with his bloody tissues and muscles, but he still refused to die.

"Spa...spare me..."

A hoarse voice gasped out of the Villa Master's voice, seemingly drowning in despair.

"Spare you? I said that I don't enjoy killing people, but for you, it's different. I'll take my time torturing you, allow you to recover, and torture you again. If your body gives out, there's always your soul to torture. I'll torture and keep torturing you until you regret and keep regretting what you caused me to do, bastard...!"

Schleya clenched her teeth, tears falling from her eyes like a waterfall as it seemed like she couldn't hold back.

"...!"

But at this moment, she could feel a gentle hand on her shoulder, causing her to freeze before she lowered her head and bit her lips.

"Kiela... father... mother... I finally avenged your deaths."

*Puchi!~*

A swing of an arm caused the Villa Master's head to be lopped off from his neck, the head plunging to the ground with an expression of disbelief, remorse, and extreme fear as the person he saw at the end was a red-eyed Emperor of Death, whispering in his mind that he would never reincarnate.
