Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 57

On the way to the Royal Castle, Davis was feeling truly bad .

He felt like he made her cry . He felt like he shouldnʼt have acted selfish and like a dick . He didnʼt knew that her cultivation was her sore spot . If he had knew, then he wouldnʼt have dared to ask .

Now he knew that woman was putting up a front in front of everybody, all the while she bears a huge burden in her heart . He even could tell that she had an inferiority complex about her talent and cultivation .

ʼIs it too bad to be a little forceful?ʼ He thought as he shook his head .

But what he didnʼt know was that sentence he uttered had helped him increase his impression on her to the next level .

Midway, he suddenly stopped .

ʼDamn it, I donʼt feel good . ʼ He got angry and took out a jade crystal .

ʼSorry, looks like your death date is moved to today . ʼ He thought coldly as he headed to assassinate the target . Originally he planned to kill them from tomorrow but decided to take his anger out on them today .

Davis, like before, baited and killed the target while also getting some fighting experience . He also implemented a failsafe plan in case his target tried to escape just like before .

After he had successfully assassinated the target and absorbed the deceased soul . He felt getting one step closer to the next level in Soul Cultivation .

He felt like he can make his Soul Cultivation experience leaps and bounds as long as he had the Death Note and the appropriate souls .

He then made his way back to the Royal Castle as it was almost dawn .

. . . .

Days passed as he went on killing his targets one by one . He almost became a legend in the Dark Earth Organization for his efficiency and credibility for killing his targets .

He felt like he couldnʼt talk with Evelynn, because he felt awkward when seeing her . But still, he wanted to talk once after that, but he just couldnʼt find her because she went back to her manor .

Twenty days passed as he killed off 8 Low Level Sky Grade Mission targets . Almost 4 of them had Low Level Young Soul Stage Cultivation while the others had Peak Level infant Soul Stage Cultivation .

During these twenty days, he found no one targeting him or his siblings all the night as a assassin, so he failed to finish off any Sky Grade Cultivators who might possibly come for them .

He felt that this was weird, since this was the perfect opportunity to target him and his siblings since Logan was out of the Royal Capital .

He had also tried to find out what was the new ability of the Death Note, but he couldnʼt find it to no avail . He almost doubted whether if his Death Note had been granted a new ability or not, also whether if it had stopped evolving or not .

Regardless, he successfully achieved Mid Level Young Soul Stage after the execution that he had performed . Then increased his cultivation to Peak Level Iron Stage and Peak Level Energy Condensation Stage .

From this, he understood that he needed the soul of at least 5 Mid Level Young Soul Stage experts to advance to the next stage . Fortunately, his Death Note was extremely helpful in that regard .

The Royal Capital was in panic as powerful people kept dying one by one . But those powerful people were the targets Davis had killed without any mercy .

So he was not in fear at all but that canʼt be said to be same of other people .

Davis understood that his actions were of tantamount to declaring war against evil people and organisations, but he did it anyway as no one would be able to find his identity unless they were to bring in some Adult Soul Stage Cultivators .

He also understood that his actions attracted his father indirectly, as his father was the Emperor . This made his father leave a little sooner from the Alfred Kingdom .

Logan was on his way to the Royal Capital after he had heard about a powerful assassin known as Dead End, who always kills his target without fail .

But he was not anxious because he knew that his targets were all scums and degenerates and definitely wouldnʼt be his family, so Logan was worried but not anxious .

He was worried that the strength of the Royal Capital would further decline as powerful cultivators would leave, fearing the assassin, regardless if they were degenerates or not . So he left a little sooner to put a stop to this assassin known as Dead End even though he felt a little thankful to him for clearing the Royal Capital of vermin .

. . .

It was Dawn .

Davis who had just returned from his hunt, knew that he wouldnʼt be able to sneak out anymore due to his father coming home sometime today .

He headed to the Study to finally take some rest, even sleep . He felt kind of exhausted for not sleeping for more than twenty days . He went to hunt, cultivated all three Cultivation System which took a huge toll on his body . He wanted to improve as much as possible before his father returned .

Cultivators donʼt need that much sleep, but it is still a process that one enjoys, so even cultivators have the habit of sleeping from time to time .

ʼAhh, damn, Iʼm so exhausted . A good sleep will rejuvenate me . ʼ Even though it is almost morning, cultivators didnʼt care for the time they slept .

Just as he opened the door to the Study, he saw Ellia .

Lightning cracked as sparks of electric currents swirled around Ellia . She was seated in a lotus position with a serious expression on her face .

Davis had a happy expression on his face .

”Sheʼs… breaking through to the next stage, very good!”

A few minutes passed before the lightning which sparkled around her subsided and her face returned to a calm expression .

Then when she checked her cultivation, her expression was one of elation .

Davis smiled as he said .

”Ellia, congrats on breaking through the Energy Condensation Stage . ”

”Hmm!” She nodded her head, still in elation .

Suddenly, a powerful Soul Sense probed the Royal Castle .

”Oh? Looks like Dad is back!” Davis was startled before he recognized the Soul Senseʼs aura .

Even though Davis was just in Mid Level Young Soul Stage, he could detect being probed by a Low Level Adult Soul Stage cultivator . He could even probably detect probing from a Mid Level Adult Soul Stage Cultivator since his soul is so powerful .

Davis was sure that he can fight his Dad equally if they just fought with their Soul Cultivation .

”The Emperor is?” Ellia widened her eyes .

Davis rubbed his chin as he spoke . ”Yes, and it looks like that we . . . got caught?”

Elliaʼs face turned pale .
