Chapter 1969: Feeling Constricted
Adlet Rayburn's eyes were full of helplessness as he thought about his unsure fate, especially his two wives, who were like hostages at this moment.
Originally, he had kept the two of them well-hidden in the crowd that consisted of millions of people, but the Emperor of Death saw through it like a hawk hunting down its prey. He really felt like he couldn't hide anything before that man, and ever since he was discovered, he felt that his occasional palpitations hadn't stopped.
In order to counter the Emperor of Death, he directly took his two wives and appeared in the Alstreim Family's seating area, grabbing a corner so that the Emperor of Death wouldn't kill him and his women, taking all their treasures.Unravel the Unknown, Unleash the Unimaginable: N♡vεlB¡n.
After all, they would directly be in the public's eyes.
However, he came to understand that he was wrong. The Emperor of Death directly blasted the Vast Sky Emperor and suffered no repercussions for it. It meant that even in public, the Emperor of Death could totally plunder his treasures, and almost no one would come to help him, making him feel laughable for even thinking for a moment that he could scheme a bit against the Emperor of Death to protect himself and his two wives.
Even if he wanted to kill Schleya, he couldn't. He could only let her play him like that, and that's how restricted and vexed he felt at this moment.
Davis smirked on sensing Adlet Rayburn's glance.
As for how he spotted Adlet Rayburn's two wives, he invoked Fallen Heaven's karmic laws and noticed two red threads connected to Adlet Rayburn from an inconspicuous corner of the New Era Battle Arena. With just a look at them, he made Adlet Rayburn aware that he had found his weakness, causing Adlet Rayburn to sweat buckets and obediently come over to his side once he invited him to represent the Alstreim Family in the Eighth Stage Segment.
Although it was psychological warfare, Davis had no hostile intentions. He just wanted to let Adlet Rayburn know that he could not hide anything from him. He also mentioned that he could leave if he had wanted to, but that may have sounded like a threat instead.
Davis couldn't do anything about this matter because the more he tried to explain himself, the more he sounded suspicious. In any case, he enjoyed the exchange just now, wondering if he should learn some blade skills from Schleya as it appeared cool and deadly.
So far, he only knew how to use weapons like swords, spears, and scythes. He was more proficient in the latter two due to his experience, but that's all. To gain an intent out of them would require fanatic level dedication and talent, which he didn't have the time to spend. It was the same with Isabella. She wasn't able to concentrate on the sword even though she used them a lot.
That's why Tanya Frostblight, Hayou Azureclaw, and those other people who have weapon intents were treated a bit special.
"It's my turn to attack."
But Adlet Rayburn denied her, causing her to stop in her tracks. She quickly began to cast a defensive technique as she witnessed a bright, illuminating twenty-meter tall skylark appear behind him. It had a beautiful silver crown of feathers on its head while possessing a sharp and short beak. Its wings that were stretched also appeared beautiful and elegant.
It radiated a powerful aura, capable of striking her to death.
"As I thought, that's..."
The Mandate Emperor sighed as he witnessed the shape of the magical beast image behind Adlet Rayburn for the first time.
"... the Silver Radiant Skylark."
Davis couldn't help but smile as it was as he expected.
Adlet Rayburn was an inheritor of the Silver Radiant Skylark Immortal.
The Silver Radiant Skylark was other than a supreme existence like the Fire Phoenix, Ice Phoenix, Water Dragon, Emerald Gale Roc, and other immortal magical beasts of similar rank. The Silver Radiant Skylark belonged to the Four Grand Light Supreme Beasts, one of which he had already encountered but was a descendant of mixed blood.
It was other than Everlight of the Magical Beast Sanctuary.
She was a Light Sky Wolf, a mixed-blood descendant of the Starlight Jade Wolf that belonged to the Four Grand Light Supreme Beasts.
Davis only recalled a bit before he shook his head at Adlet Rayburn.
Comparing his law sea to Isabella and Shirley's, Davis felt that he should be nothing more than someone who found a remnant tomb, acquiring a few blood essences. Otherwise, his prowess would be greater than Natalya's.
Or, was he still of the mind of concealing his prowess?
