Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 88: Dormant Anger



Chapter 88: Dormant Anger

Davis sat beside Ellia as he comforted her with encouraging words. He felt immense regret as he wasn't able to protect her, even though she was that close to him in proximity.

He felt that it was his fault for not quickly engaging the beast when he noticed that it was a Spirit Beast Stage Magical Beast.

"Curse it! If I only knew that its target was Ellia in the first place!' He felt angry at himself as he clenched his fists.

He felt this angry because the reason he was cultivating to become stronger was to protect his loved ones. He only had one aim to fulfil and he failed in that.

He thought that if he couldn't even protect his loved ones, then why should he even cultivate?

Thinking about all this induced hatred in his heart.

Evelynn looked at Davis and Ellia, she suddenly felt irritated for a reason. She narrowed her eyes and continued to monitor them through her observant eyes, silently.

In the Main Arena.

"Hmm? Why did that screen disappear suddenly?" A person noticed as he asked doubtfully.

"I don't know, maybe you should ask the hosts about it." Another person, who sat next to him, replied nonchalantly.

"Haha, leave it. It's just a projection." That person could care less.

Few moments passed before all of them started noticing some projections disappear from the arena.

"What is happening?" Emperor Claymore asked in doubt.

"This is definitely strange, I think we should send someone to investigate it," Logan replied. The projection where his son was projected also disappeared.

"It could be just some birds who came to hunt some bugs, look, only a part of an area is not visible." Emperor Raven laughed.

"The second round will end soon. Why should we send someone to check things out? Besides, if we send someone and they manage to save some participants, won't that be unfair to the participants who died until now?" Emperor Tritor piped in.

Everyone looked at him weirdly, They all thought, 'A thoughtful comment from him? This is getting even weirder.'

Logan narrowed his eyes. He knew that Emperor Tritor was up to something, but he just couldn't put his hand on it.

The other emperors all accepted his opinion since the second round was going to end soon.

Emperor Tritor clenched his fists silently, satisfied. ' Let's see how you endure the predicament I sent towards you! Brat!'

"My Inverted Harmless Viper is used to assassinate some specific people, so no one knows that its mine! It has a 50% chance to kill him while exterminating all who is together with him. After all, its poison is as deadly as me! Jejeje.'

Emperor Tritor mentally laughed in twisted satisfaction while he kept grinning.

Little did he know that the Inverted Harmless Viper was killed before it can even unleash its poison.

Fortunately, the Inverted Harmless Viper was foolishly confident in itself and deemed to use its poison in the later stages of battling them, which led to its quick death.

Of course, Davis increasing his power also contributed in killing that Inverted Harmless Viper quickly. If it weren't for that, it would've been able to poison Ellia to death.

Emperor Tritor didn't form a mental connection with the Inverted Harmless Viper as he knew that people would find out about his pet when they investigate. So he wasn't able to realize that it was already dead.

Meanwhile, the bird he was contracted with took off after teaching the viper of the position of the target as it cleared the monitoring bugs in the vicinity.

Emperor Tritor was all smiles. He kept grinning like an idiot while eagerly waiting to see the corpse or the miserable face of the brat.

After Ellia wounds were 50% healed, the group made their way to the ship. This time, there were no disturbances as they reached the ship safely.

Davis was calm the whole time, except there was a seething anger that was about to erupt in his mind, but he kept a rein on it without losing his mind to anger.

His presence of mind was totally focused on Emperor Tritor, while he only thought about how he should kill him.

He unconsciously ignored Evelynn's presence who was behind him the whole time.

In fact, even if he noticed her, he would only nod at her and wouldn't have the time to care about her mindset.

Evelynn was visibly upset at being ignored, but she could only stay quiet as Davis was also silent the whole time. Besides, she also noticed that he was too calm, considering his precious Ellia was injured badly just now.

Evelynn had already subconsciously acknowledged Ellia as her competitor somewhere in her heart, but she still couldn't realize that and accept it in her mind.

People of higher status always look down on people with lower standings.

No matter what, in this world, they were heaven chosen children who had their own pride and superiority complex. It isn't easy for them to acknowledge someone who is lower than them.

They won't yield unless their pride had been smashed altogether.

A few hours passed like this, and the second round finally came to an end as the solemn voice once again echoed throughout the Island.

"Those who are in the Top 1000, congratulations! For you have successfully advanced to the final competition, where you will face intense battles and have a chance to battle with the top elites of the various empires."

"Immediately return to the ship in half a day's time. We will return to Gote Island."

Davis and the others, boarded the ship after they heard the announcement, followed by several people showing up in the distance.

In the Main Arena.

'Hmm… Looks like that kid's luck is greater than I thought! He managed to survive my Inverted Harmless Viper!' Emperor Tritor who saw the scoreboard noticed that Davis's score didn't go dim after the end of the second round.

If Davis died, then his name that is lit up would dim.

'But surely, whoever is travelling with him will have met a fatal end. Especially this time's main target, that maid called Ellia. She would have been ripped to pieces. Sigh, it would have certainly been a sight!'

Emperor Tritor knew that it would be difficult to kill Davis, so the main objective was to give the rising genius, some despair. In fact, he even wanted that hot-headed genius to find the culprit, himself, so as he could have a valid reason to finish him off before he grows up.

All he had to do was deny that he was the one who sent the Inverted Harmless Viper, and frame Davis with something else to finish him off openly.

Emperor Tritor giggled as he thought about the despairing face of the brat.
