Chapter 1420 - Eldia's True Intent
Davis smiled, but he suddenly became confused amidst Eldia’s excitement.
"You know about heavenly tribulation lightning?"
Could it be that she had seen a heavenly tribulation before in her lifetime?
"No...! But I can sense this lightning is otherworldly!!! It’s comprised of the purest form of lightning that I have ever seen! Only a bolt of lightning from the purest energy of the heavens can be like this!"
Davis didn’t really understand, but she meant that the strand was a heavenly lightning instead of heavenly tribulation lightning. The two may be one or different, or it may just be a play on words. He really couldn’t say which one with the little information he possessed but felt that it might be the former.
Still, he couldn’t help but ask.
"You say that this strand is a heavenly lightning... Can you give me some examples? Like, have you seen it before?"
"Yes! I think the reason why we are birthed by heaven and earth energy is because of the existence of a strand of heavenly lightning nurturing our Will for many years, allowing us to become sentient if we reach the required level. I watched a Lightning Elemental grow through this process and watched another Lightning Elemental in its initial stages of birthing before I decided to devour it. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to devour the strand of heavenly lightning, but this..."
Eldia sounded as if she was staring at a delicious meal, her n.a.k.e.d black-lightning silhouette body trembling with d.e.s.i.r.e.
"The heaven and earth..."
Davis couldn’t help but mutter, feeling like he had grasped onto something.
Could it be that there are all sorts of Heavenly Laws out there?
For example, Heavenly Fire...?
A wisp of heavenly fire gives birth to a Fire Elemental, but after its Will has been nurtured and the heavenly fire disappears while the Elemental itself is now considered an Earthly Fire?
The heaven gives birth to the earth; earthly beings...?
Davis blinked again, feeling like his head hurt for no reason.
Nevertheless...
’My Lightning Elemental is a researcher?’
Davis’s brows twitched as he felt he could write a novel of his own. Exactly what was she doing watching other Lightning Elementals? As she said, he could only infer that all beings were curious of all matters and things, even the reason for their birth.
He looked at her, drooling at the strand of tribulation lightning. At least, her stare looked as if she was drooling, making him content as this reaction was the one he expected her to have.
How could a Lightning Elemental that fed on lightning not know the purity of this lightning?
Otherwise, he would lack the ability to completely make her submit to him.
"What do you think?"
Davis made up his mind.
"I’ll be straightforward with you. I want to use this heavenly lightning for myself but couldn’t at my current body’s level. However, you, on the other hand, can precisely digest this heavenly lightning, making you gain immense benefits. All I ask is for your loyalty, and that might-"
"I am loyal to you, master. You brought me out of captivity, and I enjoyed my time in my birthplace more than I thought I could’ve..."
Eldia interrupted, causing Davis’s eyes to blink.
"It’s fine if I don’t get to devour this strand of heavenly lightning. It’s rightfully master’s, so I’ll try not to look at it..."
She sounded sad, but even as she said, it was like she struggled to keep her head from turning around.
Davis’s brows twitched. It was rather obvious to him how Eldia’s instincts were screaming for her to devour the heavenly lightning that was just near to her. To control one’s instincts when something tempts is a difficult and daunting task.
For one, when one is hungry, and a lavish meal is placed in front of them, it would be extremely difficult for them to say no to partaking in it!
Yet, as a Lightning Elemental, she stayed her hand and even said that she would try to keep her eyes off of it.
Davis’s respect towards her grew as he really didn’t think some beings were capable of suppressing their l.u.s.t and d.e.s.i.r.e, with him being a fine example that he had become now. It was especially the case when he and Eldia hadn’t bonded much, but she was still capable of holding herself back.
He was starting to like her more and more, that he couldn’t help but smirk.
"You can have it..."
Eldia was wallowing in sadness and had difficulty holding herself back, but when abruptly hearing Davis say something that sounded stimulating, her expression lit up as black-lightning crackled.
"Master...?"
She sounded as if wanting to confirm that Davis couldn’t help but laugh out again.
"Hehe, I said that you could have the heavenly lightning... After we return from that secret space that you once led us from, that is..."
*Whoosh!~*
Eldia, who had just entered his dantian, shot outside of his body as her energy body was summoned again.
"Master, let’s go!!!"
She danced around the skies, looking incredibly excited as lightning flashed.
"Your enthusiasm has shot through the roof..." Davis chuckled at Eldia.
Eldia stopped for a moment before her crackling black-lightning receded, almost looking as if she were embarrassed.
Davis blinked before he shook his head, feeling heartened that he had gotten such a Lightning Elemental.
’Well, she had probably lost so much of her pride being imprisoned for thousands of years... Maybe I’ll help her become her prideful self, regain her dignity back...’
"Alright, follow me..."
Davis headed back towards the place where he left off Nero Alstreim and Nadia while Eldia followed him back without uttering a word, simply yet happily dancing in the skies. They met up, and from there, they made their way to the hidden island, maneuvering the distorted space with Eldia’s help before they managed to reach the familiar withered tree that had the viridian fruit, a fruit that possessed a semblance of Life Laws within it.
