Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 297 Returning To The Inner Region

In the outskirts of the inner region, which is basically between the outer region and the inner region of the Tyrannical Ape Mountains, Davis, Drake, and Kara walked together with an equal distance separating them.

With Davis being in the front, the two of them were casually following him with Kara being in the middle and Drake following behind her back.

With this kind of arrangement, Davis, as the vanguard had a lot of fun looking at the Magical Beasts which pounced or ambushed him.

He became familiar with his prowess and his proficiency in using his lightning and battle aura increased a lot, especially his skills while using the Scythe.

None of the magical beasts managed to get past him, so Kara and Drake had relatively nothing to do other than lazily following him.

Kara was somewhat dissatisfied with this formation as she wanted to showcase her strength but Drake was incredibly satisfied with this arrangement.

"Why don’t you go front, I’ll watch your back!" Kara looked back as she glared at Drake.

Drake was startled. His eyes which was staring in a slightly lower direction moved upwards, "Uh... How can that be!? As a man, I’ll have to protect the woman I love!"

Kara didn’t say anything, she just turned her head back and continued to walk ahead.

Davis’s lips twitched as the veins in his neck became visible.

Hearing Drake shamelessly play the ’gentleman’ card, he turned speechless.

Without even turning back, he knew that Kara was blushing embarrassingly right now.

Now he regretted being together with them because all day long, they subconsciously ignored his existence and flirted with each other.

’Wait, was it how it seemed to others when I was together with Evelynn?’ Davis gasped to himself as the stray thought appeared in his mind.

’Maybe, if it weren’t for me intruding at that moment, Drake and Kara’s relationship would’ve taken to the next step...’ He mused as he shook his head.

As they went around the place for quite a while, Davis said, "Say, there seems to be less Grand Beast Stage Magical Beast showing up around here."

Both of their attention instantly shifted to Davis.

Drake narrowed his eyes as he said, "So?"

"Why don’t we just head to the inner region? Of course, just enough to see one around the periphery..." Davis replied.

Drake looked down as he considered for a moment. He was well aware of how dangerous it was, and with Kara as his responsibly, he didn’t want to take the chances.

But with Davis being here, he began to seriously consider whether if he should go to the inner region or not.

But, he wasn’t convinced if he should completely believe in Davis.

What if Davis suddenly turned his back on him and it ultimately leads to Kara’s death? He didn’t want to take this kind of risk with a person he just met like two days ago.

On a personal note, he wanted to go to the inner region to hunt, and also make an effort to befriend Davis.

However, it was just that in these two days, he painfully realized that Davis was stronger than them and could easily backstab them if he so wished in a crucial moment.

To him, the existence of Davis seemed to be too mysterious as well as an enigma.

He suddenly meets a person from Earth in this Magical Beast Territory? What are the odds? He felt all this to be a bit hard to swallow even though the reality was placed in front of him.

He lifted up his head and looked at Kara while the latter sent him a Soul Transmission.

"Is it too dangerous?"

Unlike Drake, Kara only seemed to want to know if the inner region was dangerous.

She didn’t have any kind of animosity towards Davis other than being embarrassed at that time.

So she didn’t consider him to be a threat, besides she lacked vigilance towards him.

Drake understood all that in an instant and replied, "It is, but if Davis is really on our side, then the threat level will be low..."

Kara nodded, "Then let us go..."

Drake narrowed his eyes again. She seemed to miss the subtle warning in his tone.

’Was she really that dumb? That didn’t seem to be the case...’ Drake wondered.

Kara turned to look back at Davis.

Maybe it was just her intuition, but she didn’t seem to feel any ill will from Davis. It was just like how she felt that Drake didn’t have any ill will towards her.

She had seen many eyes, many eyes that preyed upon her figure but that kind of eyes didn’t seem to exist within both of them.

Though Drake had started to eye her from time to time in this period, she didn’t seem to hate it when it was from him.

In fact, she liked it.

Meanwhile, Drake considered his options and made up his mind a few moments later, "Alright then, let’s head to the inner region. If we encounter any magical beasts above High-Level Grand Beast Stage, then we instantly retreat..."

"Fine with me..." Davis shrugged.

They promptly changed directions and headed together to the inner region.

...

As the three of them entered the inner region, Drake and Kara kept their physical senses, extended to the max.

Davis noticed their vigilance and nodded in his head.

With the three of them vigilant like this, it will be incredible for any Grand Beast Stage Magical Beasts to ambush them.

As they walked on the dirt-colored mountainous path, Drake suddenly opened his mouth, "Actually, I wanted to always get a magical beast pet, but I just can’t seem to decide on one, do you have any recommendations, Davis?"

Davis got startled.

He looked back at him and smiled wryly, "How would I know, I’m new to this place... Besides, you lived in this world for a longer time. Obviously, you would know more than me..."

Drake raised his brows, "By that logic, shouldn’t I be more powerful than you?"

"Since you caught up to us even with that age, then it’s obvious that you had fruitful encounters, so I thought you would have more knowledge of Magical Beasts!"

"No, I don’t..." Davis stated as if it was a matter of fact.
