Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1703 - Enraged Waves

Indeed, as Hazen Zlatan feared, the people of the righteous world, wicked path, and even magical beasts were wide-eyed, not expecting such a dishonorable and cowardly move from the strongest Dragon Family, the Zlatan Family.

They were full of disgust and contempt for them at this moment, especially the other Dragon Families, as they couldnʼt help but feel that they tarnished the majestic name of the Golden Dragon and their other dragons.

It was already ignoble and shameful for them to surrender their Dragon Queen as a slave to the one who gave them a path to live when possessing absolute power, but they went one step ahead and tried to kill their merciful threatener by forcing their sacrifice to die, becoming utterly disgraceful and discreditable. If they felt pity and sympathy for them before, wondering what the fate of the Zlatan Familyʼs Dragon Queen would be like under the Emperor of Death, then they no longer felt such a thing since her own family decided to sacrifice her completely and heartlessly.

”Your eminence still doesnʼt believe me?”

Bylai Zlatan looked calm as she gazed at the Emperor of Death, although she still clenched her fists in trepidation.

Davis glanced at her before he ignored her and returned his gaze towards Hazen Zlatan, who stepped out of the broken palanquin as he looked wretchedly miserable, blood dripping from his head in copious amounts as there was a dent on his forehead, appearing cleaved, even revealing the bloodied bone.

He went on his knees as if he was unable to take the pressure before he kowtowed.

”Emperor of Death.. Please donʼt believe the words of that beguiling temptress. She dared to betray her family after agreeing to help by becoming your slave. Sheʼs a two-faced bitch who will do anything for her survival, and that matter about the entrapment is nothing but a mere lie, the last stand for her to save herself.”

”You...!?”

Bylai Zlatan clenched her teeth and stared at Hazen Zlatan with hatred as if she had never been so mad in her life. She still remembered how they all doted on her back then, treated her with care as if she was sacredly untouchable, but looking back at it now; she understood that it was solely for obtaining her favor and body.

She felt that she had already killed her concern for them as she came to know that they were contemptible and wretched people, wanting the Emperor of Death to kill them for ruining her with a curse, but she didnʼt know that they were shameless as well, able to lie with an aggrieved voice as if though they were saying none other than the truth.

The blood in her boiled from hearing Hazen Zlatanʼs words that she took a step forward and began to walk towards him when suddenly she froze and turned to look back, feeling a heavy hold restrain her hand.

”Youʼll still die if you near him. Did you forget that your cultivation was sealed, or are you two acting in order to confuse me? In that case, Iʼll just kill you both.”

”No... I...”

Bylai Zlatan shuddered as she felt Davisʼs touch.

Never had a man restrained and threatened her like this that she felt deeply startled, but a moment later, she clenched her teeth, fueling her determination as she turned to look at Hazen Zlatan.

”Heʼs lying... Iʼll swear my name and my reputation on it. If I am lying, Iʼm truly a two-faced bitch as he says...!”

Davis raised his brows at her declaration. It was not the endpoint, but he was becoming convinced that she didnʼt want to take part in killing him, at least through this method that sacrificed her life as well.

”I can attest that what Golden Dragon Queen Bylai Zlatan is stating is true.”

Abruptly, a cool voice echoed.

Everyoneʼs heads swiveled as they turned to look at the newcomer. While a white-robed figure entered the palace, Hazen Zlatanʼs heart shook as he turned to look at the person whom he spoke to three days ago.

It was none other than Soul Emperor Elusivemist!

”I can attest that the Zlatan Fami-”

”Shut up!”

Hazen Zlatan screamed as he stood up, pointing at Elusivemist.

Elusivemist simply shrugged with a smirk on his face before he threw a stone that appeared to be an Imagery Stone towards the center. Instantly, it began to project countless images, and everyone could see that Hazen Zlatan and two others in black robes were interacting with Soul Emperor Elusivemist, getting a pill from him, which came to be introduced as the entrapment-type hex pill that cursed Golden Dragon Queen Bylai Zlatan.

The projection ended, and Elusivemist merely reached out his hand to take back the projection before a mocking curve appeared on his lips as he looked at Hazen Zlatan, who looked as if he was about to explode with rage at any moment.

”Elusivemist! Have you become insane!? Do you understand what kind of consequences this has for your power!? Your Soul Palace will also end up being des-”

Halfway through, Hazen Zlatan suddenly realized amidst his blazing rage and rising trepidation before he saw Soul Emperor Elusivemist smirk at him with a gaze full of contempt and schadenfreude.

”Youʼre really slow on the uptake, arenʼt you?”

His expression suddenly changed into one of reverence as he knelt towards a person.

”My Soul Palace has decided to come under the direct jurisdiction of its conqueror. Hence, the Soul Palace belongs to Davis Alstreim, titled the Emperor of Death from this moment forth.”

”...!?”

The hearts of everyone shook.

Even Isabella and the others felt a quiver in their hearts as they didnʼt know that Davis planned this to happen. They thought it was sly of him to hide this news from them, but it seems like it had a wide impact as they could see the shocked expressions of many people with their soul sense.

If it was like this in the Alstreim Family, then the wide world who knew about the might and the history of the Soul Palace had without a doubt dropped their jaws, looking like utter fools at this moment.

Davisʼs lips curved at this moment.

ʼFortunately, I have confession and a piece of solid evidence... Now, I can proceed to...ʼ

”Kill!”

His figure flickered as he disappeared while his voice echoed inside the hall, terrifying Hazen Zlatan, who backpedaled in retreat, only to find his lower body stay rooted to the ground while blood sprayed from his abdomen as he flew back like a kite that had its strings cut.

Davis possessed a greyish-black scythe in his hands, made from his soul force and death energy. An obscure and ominous aura circulated around it as it permeated around him, making him appear terrifying to the worldʼs gaze.

They were shocked to see him battle for the first time in a live manner. Before, they had seen him in projections, and although it was the same this time, it was happening at the very moment they lived in, the present, making them feel like they were witnessing this scene with their very own eyes.

”Ahhh!!!”

A pained cry rang out as Hazen Zlatan hit the wall of the Purple Guest Palace, creating a big dent as he crashed into it. Organs spilled out like with bloody juices while his earthly Essence Gathering Cultivationʼs energy that was at the same level as his Body Tempering Cultivation seemed to be fading out into the atmosphere, making him hyperventilate as well cry out miserably.

His golden eyes constantly trembled and rolled, looking as if he was going to faint, but he kept himself forcefully awake in order to escape.

*Bang!~*

However, his cry abruptly became muffled as a shoe stomped right into his face.

*Bang!~*

Blood splattered again while the head caved to half its level.

*Bang!~*

With another stomp from Davis, Hazen Zlatanʼs head was crushed to as paste while his soul also shattered, returning to the cycle of reincarnation.

Davis felt like he had granted him the biggest mercy he could possibly give as he allowed his soul to enter reincarnation. He stared at the mess he made on the wall for a while, feeling his enraged heart calm before he took his foot off and threw his scythe.

The greyish-black scythe flew around before it painlessly and mercifully beheaded the four Zlatan Familyʼs Powerhouses before it stabbed right into the surface in front of Zeramus Domitian, causing his scalp to turn numb as he felt a terrifying chill crawling on his spine.

Bylai Zlatan hid her mouth with both her palms, tears flowing down her eyes as she lowered her head while Davis, who was near to the source of the projection, turned to look and pointed his finger at it.

”Zlatan Family, especially the Grand Elders. I donʼt care if your Ancestor is alive or not, but Iʼll give you a fair word of warning. Try to escape from my grasp if you can because I, the Emperor of Death, am coming to reap your souls no matter what, and there is no one who is going stick out their necks to save your petty souls.”

”...!”

Many people staggered as they fell behind, reacting as if the Emperor of Death had pointed to them, but to the ones he pointed, they slowly turned to look at each other, finding the fear of death dwell within their eyes before their bodies flickered, rushing out of the Zlatan Familyʼs City while the cityʼs people saw their two remaining Grand Elders flying away in two different directions, heading in the direction of the Eastern Magical Beast Territories.

”...”

Their hearts fell while fear began to overwhelm them.

Was their Zlatan Family going to become... extinct?
