Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 604 If It Isnt Me, Then Who?

"Say that again..." Nadia uttered in a cold, causing Chuno and Chudo to be taken aback.

Only then did they saw her cold black pupils and white sclera, staring at them with hostile intent. They started to sweat inwardly but Chudo took a step forward and growled, "Clan leader! I want you!"

"Insolent!"

Nadia growled and transformed into a magical beast! The moment she materialized, she waved her dark twin tails at Chudo.

A ball of darkness quickly formed and flew towards Chudo in an arc. It trembled and instantly sped up while Chudo tried to retaliate, however, it was too late and the difference between their levels is three times greater!

The ball of darkness quickly engulfed Chudo’s legs before reached till his shoulders, causing him to let out a whimper of extreme pain. The darkness corroded his fur and started to even corrode his skin before entering to graze his flesh.

Nadia looked at Chudo’s suffering before turning to look at Chuno.

Chuno didn’t dare to look at the clan leader and averted his gaze, even changing his posture into one of obedience. He looked as if he had been thoroughly disciplined with just this one gaze but Nadia knew otherwise.

Nadia knew that their arrogance stemmed from their Species Mutation and the fact that they had reached the Saint Beast Stage but they failed to consider the difference in their levels. She knew that they would not stop just at this and might even pursue her to mate in the future.

However, by the time they experience an increase in their levels, she would already be at the Seventh Stage; Lord Beast Stage, and that allowed her to ignore them for a long time.

And as a clan which had just gotten through their predicament, she didn’t want to harm them too much. She waved her paw and the darkness that had enveloped Chudo disintegrated, revealing his bloodied black fur.

"Just leave..." She echoed.

The two male Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolves instantly left as they flew away through the cave opening.

Nadia watched their backs leave before she heaved a heavy sigh. She turned to look at the two humans in front of her before she finally realized that she did not know how to call them.

Since she was becoming their Magical Beast Mount, it became rather crucial for her to learn their names, not to mention that they were her benefactors. Before this, she had initially introduced Chudo and Chuno, thinking that they can be of some service to their benefactors, but the way they behaved with her made her mood turn worse as she sent them off.

She decided to serve her benefactors by herself.

"Nadia..." Davis called.

"Yes?"

Nadia became attentive.

"Think you can make your clan look after these infants for a few days? I will come to pick them up later..." Davis pointed at the Crowned Violet-Winged Condors.

Nadia assuredly nodded her head, "I can... I will tell Chuno to look after these infants!"

’Chuno? The Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolf who didn’t even dare to look at her eyes?’ Davis mused and chuckled, "Are you sure that they won’t eat them instead?"

"Hmph! Then they would be courting death!" Nadia snorted as her nose wrinkled. She then turned back and exited the cave.

Davis just shook his head, thinking whether if she would really kill her clan members for their sake but it remained to be seen, so he didn’t care much for the time being. As for how she would convince them to forsake their greed and guard the infant Magical Beasts, he left that to her.

By the side, Evelynn nudged his sleeves.

"Does that mean we’ll be leaving soon?"

After all, to take these infants meant that they would have to leave the Sunset Tear Mountain and return to the Ethren City. Besides, they can’t delay much since these Crowned Violet-Winged Condors would soon be growing into younglings.

Infant Magical Beasts sold for a high price rather than the usual cost! They would be all sold in auctions since they would rather fetch an extremely high price! It’s because the chances that these infant magical beasts would become attached to their masters is high!

"Of course not!" Davis chuckled.

"Then how?" Evelynn became confused.

"My avatar will be arriving here in a few days..."

Evelynn’s pupils brightened and she palmed her forehead, "I forgot you had this..."

But she then blinked causing Davis to ask, "What?"

"Then why didn’t you let your avatar arrive here during the time you secluded yourself?"

"Well, apparently, my parents decided to sightsee the city, so I’m having my avatar travel with them at their request..." Davis awkwardly laughed.

"So that’s why..." Evelynn understood and pursed her lips.

"Think you can get smarter than me?" Davis raised his brow, "Well, that moment still hasn’t arrived yet!"

A red hue filled Evelynn’s cheeks as she became embarrassed! She finally thought that she had thought something better than him but it turned out that his avatar rather had been busy.

Davis suddenly frowned. His reaction caused Evelynn to react apologetically but he shook his head, indicating that it wasn’t about her.

"What happened?" Evelynn couldn’t help but ask, feeling confused.

If his reaction wasn’t about her, then who?

"We seem to have a new development back in Ethren City..." Davis’s expression changed.

Evelynn saw his expression change into one of a wry smile, one that said he didn’t seem to believe what was happening.

======

Ethren Empire, Ethren Captial City.

In the central area of the second level, that is, the area compromising of all the eight regions, leading towards the third level. This area looked the same as the first level, having the same flight of stairs leading to the second level.

Except for this time the flight of stairs from the second level, clearly led to the third level.

The third level had numerous palaces, all of them belonging to the royals. There were also name other grand structures with some of them even floating in the air.

The third level only had a central district of which more than 80% belonged to the Ethren Empire, with the remaining belonging to other entities like nobles and the organizations which were at Low-Level Emperor Grade.

This was the place where the Elder and Grand Elders of the Thousand Pill Palace Branch took residence instead of the second level’s Thousand Pill Palace Branch.

In this place, there was a banquet of massive scale held in one of the biggest banquet hall constructed for use after Royal Ceremonies. This Banquet Hall alone could accommodate over a million people at a time!

Here, the scene was full of laughter, banter with people walking to and fro, meeting with many people of high and suitable status.

Numerous wealthy merchants could be seen as well, eyeing goods or even women who could bore them a child to inherit their wealth, as well as grant them status in the process.

Such people were plenty, and their targets were either Princes and Princesses of the Royal Ethren Family. Such people mingled and ate in the banquet hall, making a grand social scene.

And social scenes are places where opportunities were piled up, ready for people to dive into the risk. However, no one made a move yet!

Because in the seat of honor sat the main reason for this massive banquet!

A male figure sat on the seat of honor with a leg crossed over the other, his chin resting on his palm while his elbow was supported by the high-quality armrest. His dark blue hair loosely hung by the side of his shoulders and his facial features were sharp yet handsome with black eyes, medium-sized straight nose, and lips.

Everything within his sight, he looked at them with imperceptible contempt!
