Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1213 Strange Trio And A Strange Island

Davis saw that within those normal blue-colored lightning sea were abnormal strands of luminous green lightning that seemed to mingle with them without encountering trouble. Moreover, he saw some of the green strands hit the blue lightning strands, but they seemingly came into contact before separating like nothing happened.

He really couldnʼt tell what had happened when they came in contact with each other due to the distance between him and them. He was already tens of kilometers away compared to the Lightning Elemental and the ninth stage powerhouses on the flying boat.

He also saw that the black-haired woman was awake now, radiating a human aura. It became apparent that she was undoubtedly human, but to his astonishment, she appeared weak, slowly turning into an old woman as that demi-human held her in his arms like a princess.

Davis thought that the man was sucking out her vitality but looking at them affectionately glancing at each other, he digressed. They seem to be speaking something with each other as their lips moved, but he couldnʼt hear as he was afar.

Davis became curious. He felt tempted to see what was going on between this trio of a human, fey, and a magical beast, but he chose not to go near them for safety. He instead cast a glance at the Mid-Level Emperor Grade Lightning Elemental, which seemed to be just running around in circles, looking like it was reluctant.

ʼNow, if only I can somehow lead it away from here without garnering their notice... I donʼt want them interfering, and neither do I want to use Fallen Heaven on the Lightning Elemental to lead it away as it would make its Will retarded as a result. I want to tame it like how Sophie has Starcy...ʼ

ʼThis way, my Lightning Law comprehension would keep increasing instead of hitting a limit sooner. Besides, Iʼm not sure if I can ever meet a Lightning Elemental with extinction property again. Whatʼs more, this seems to be a pure extinction lightning Lightning Elemental that I canʼt afford to lose!ʼ

ʼIʼm definitely taming it even if it costs twenty eight more percent of my soul essence!ʼ

Davis mused that he would be fine as long as he kept his soul essence above fifty percent.

He kept coming up with numerous plans to lead it away, but all scenarios he imagined ended up being thwarted or confronted by them before the Lightning Elemental somehow manages to escape. Without using Fallen Heaven to curb that scenario, he couldnʼt think of anything else. As for Nadia, he didnʼt want to give her dangerous tasks at this time.

He couldnʼt afford to lose her or even let them take her as a hostage.

As he brainstormed, he saw them start to move. They were heading down towards the surface before they disappeared from his sight, but the Lightning Elemental still stayed.

ʼOkay, did they just disappear, or is there a trench in that area?ʼ

Davis narrowed his eyes as he was unable to see from where he stood, nor send his soul sense as that was a stupid move. A few moments passed, but he was no longer able to take the suspense!

ʼFuck! Letʼs see what theyʼre here for!ʼ

”Nadia, letʼs go near them...”

”Master...?”

Nadiaʼs meaning was clear that it was dangerous.

Davis nodded, ”I know, but I have already considered what to do if they discover us...”

”I understand...”

Nadia moved without giving a second opinion as she slowly placed her claws on the surface as she walked while Davis prepared himself. He had used Death God Eyes before and was able to know the name of the human woman and the demi-human man but not the magical beast woman. That made sense since the magical beast was at the Low-Level Emperor Beast Stage.

He didnʼt probe them much since he considered that they might notice something wrong. Magical Beasts had frightening instincts that he didnʼt want to underestimate. Besides, he couldnʼt afford to slip up.

He had considered using Fallen Heaven to control the demi-human to sneak attack the magical beast woman in an instant. This way, even if he could do not use Fallen Heaven on the magical beast woman, she would still end up being critically injured at the worst.

From what he had seen, the three of them seemed to be greatly familiar with each other. However, unless he has his hands forced, he didnʼt want to do something like wasting his soul essence either. He didnʼt want to experience that pain again. It almost made him feel like he was going crazy, even forgetting who he was in the process.

Furthermore, he had no idea who his opponents were, so he didnʼt want to bring so many variables like their background into the fray. The only result that could be considered a pass if he manages to evade their senses and steal the Lightning Elemental from them before safely making an escape.

As Nadia slowly approached, the Lightning Elementalʼs energy became apparent. It was not hiding its strength but appeared to be weak with not much energy left.

ʼNo wonder it didnʼt dare to attack or escape from these two ninth stage powerhouses... Itʼs already in a choked state.ʼ

Davis mused before Nadia arrived at the prominent cliff. They looked down the trench and saw a sight that left them confused for a second because there was a strange luminescent viridian sphere growing like a fruit on a strange, emaciated tree.

It was a single tree with almost nothing present in its surroundings.

He did not understand what this was or what it did, not until he began hearing what this strange trio was talking about in front of the lightning sea wall that remained constant and stable while covering the entire core region.

”Mival...” A hoarse voice echoed, ”Promise me that youʼll find me again...”

It was the human woman who had turned old.

”Iʼll promise you every single time, Alia.” Mival, the demi-human, softly spoke with tender and fond eyes, ”No matter how long it takes, I will find you. Even if our karma comes to an end, I will still find you and marry you again even if I have to go against the rules of the heavenly laws.”

Aliaʼs wrinkle stretched as she smiled, ”No matter what happens, know that Iʼm content...”

Mivalʼs heart shook as his furry ears stood on end, ”I will definitely find you again, so donʼt you dare give up on our life together!”

Alia blinked before she shook her head, ”Mival, Iʼve managed to live for three lifetimes with you, and that itself is a gift from the heavens. I canʼt ask for more.”

”You... donʼt say that...” His heart fell.

Alia giggled and spoke in a sweet tone, ”I know you hid it from me, but Zanna already revealed that the Life Searching Branch you use to find me is going to break, perhaps after you use it the next time or when you use it. I know that thereʼs not much hope left for me.”

Mival turned to look at the magical beast woman who was called Zanna, his viridian eyes holding some blame.

Zannaʼs body shook as she took two steps back. Her expression held some grievance as she waved her hands.

”Mival, you really want to let her die while not letting her know the odds of us not meeting again!?”

”I...” Mival became hesitant as he lightly shook his head. He didnʼt want it to be like that, but...

Zanna pointed towards the emaciated tree as her eyes became moist, ”Look at this luminescent viridian sphere-like fruit thatʼs going to kill her! Do you think that itʼs going to help Alia remember her previous life again after it makes her die an excruciating death!?

”No!” Zanna screamed as she approached him.

”Itʼs a small fruit compared to the ones she ate before. Its size isnʼt enough, and its efficiency Alia has dropped to an all-time low because she had already used it three times! The heavens favored us three times already, making her reunite with us!”

”Thereʼs no assurance for the fourth time because this fruit is small, and the Life Searching Branch we found is undoubtedly going to break the next time we use it!”

”Zanna, I...” Mival was at a loss for words.

”Even then,” Zanna continued as she shed tears, ”Even then, I donʼt want to lose Alia!”

All of them abruptly became silent as they lowered their gazes, perhaps not able to see each other in their eyes. Only the vibration and the crackling sounds of the lightning sea could be heard. It was unknown how much time had passed before Zanna spoke again, her voice breaking down.

”Even if we found Alia after she is reborn anew... but the Life Searching Branch ended up breaking, we... we will not be able to make her regain her memories... She would no longer be the Alia we know...”

Zanna cried as she held his shoulders.

”Mival... This might be the last time she... she even remembers us. I... I... feel sad and bitter, but why do you keep having a smile on your face...?”

Mival kept a smile as he shook his head, doing his best to hold his tears back, ”How can I not send her off with a smile? Do you want the last thing Alia remembers about us is to see our crying appearances? That would just be...”

ʼSad...ʼ Mival was unable to say it as he didnʼt want this to be Aliaʼs, his first wifeʼs last memories of this life.

”Mival, donʼt blame Zanna.” Alia suddenly spoke, having a big smile on her face, ”We are both your wives, and I do not want to see you hold this matter against her. She did this for us and does not want for us to part in fake terms, so no matter what happens in the future after I die, remember that I always love you two.”

Mivalʼs heart ached. Looking at her possess a peaceful expression on her face, he couldnʼt take this pain that swelled in his heart. He turned to look at the mysterious fruit and the emaciated treeʼs branch that made it possible for this human known as Alia to be able to recover her memories every time she was reborn.

However, the condition was for her to die an excruciating death by eating the fruit before having the branch come near to her after she was reborn to regain back her memories. It was completely cruel, but she had the determination to do it, but this time, it looked hopeless.

Mival took a deep breath before his lips moved.

”Alia... Itʼs not too late for us to visit the Dra-”

*Bzzz!~*

”Who!?”

Zanna abruptly echoed as she looked above. She raised her hand viridian lightning emerged from her palm before it gathered on all five of her index fingers, crackling with an immense ninth stage might while looking as if it was about to be unleashed in almost all directions above!

”Wait! We mean no harm!”

Davisʼs voice suddenly echoed as he and Nadia out from concealment the next second. He had his hands up in a surrender pose because he knew if even a strand of that viridian lightning out of the thousands hit him, he wouldnʼt live to see the day even if he made it in time to kill them with Fallen Heaven!

He glanced to the side and saw the Lightning Elemental wave at him before it quivered as if it were sorry.

His brows twitched as he inwardly bellowed, ʼStupid Lightning Elemental, you almost got us killed!ʼ
