Chapter 2004: A Startling Move
"Not bad." Myria praised with a warm tone, "You made me use my true prowess with that technique. Is that technique your master's?"
"If I said that it's self-made while taking inspiration from a cool move I've seen before, will you believe it?"
"..." Myria blinked.
Davis snickered, "Since you won't, answer my question. What lies ahead of the Emperor Sigil, and how can I obtain it?"
"Your master didn't tell you?" Myria raised her brows, confused.Dive into Stories, Embrace Enchantment: N♡vεlB¡n.
"No, he didn't." Davis didn't even bat an eye, "He's a recluse who doesn't care about such things since he wants me to learn everything by myself from the start. He only shows up when I'm in complete danger."
"Such a peculiar individual, but I guess there's many like that... Moreover, if he could react to your danger, then there's an immortal strand left in your body, but it shouldn't be possible, considering the suppressed laws here..."
Myria's eyes appeared contemplative as she looked away. There were other ways to predict danger through divination, making her wonder if his master was also skillful in Karma Laws. However, she suddenly turned to look at Davis.
"Become my disciple, and I'll teach you the method to obtain a Supreme Immortal Sigil, increasing your level so that you could even battle immortals when you're a Peak-Level Soul Emperor."
Davis became stunned. The name fit the other two uniqueness, so it wasn't that surprising, but to see that kind of realm really exists in the soul made him incomparably happy because the prospects that he could perfect his cultivations were surmounting for his future.
Nonetheless...
"You're asking me to abandon my master?"
"That would be the case." Myria nonchalantly answered as though this wasn't a big matter.
'I could've easily considered this in a positive light if only...'
Davis wryly smiled as there was no master for him to abandon, but if only Myria wasn't Ellia's captor. Such relationships would've also been possible in the past if Myria had just stayed, choosing to teach him Soul Forging Cultivation instead of flying away with Ellia's body like that, but such scenarios were unlikely considering she had a rude awakening, almost enslaving him if it weren't for Fallen Heaven's intervention.
"From here on out, I will become serious."
As Davis's solemn voice fell, blood churned in his heart, condensing into a tiny drop of blood. The condensed drop of blood essence was instantly consumed as Davis raised his hand again, a black sword of death appearing as he instantly struck down, the world turning dark.
Myria's eyes acutely narrowed as she raised her hands, using the same defensive technique she used before.
The death energy concentrated into a vertical line continued streaking across space, cleaving the air and the space before clashing with Myria's defensive technique. Light and darkness swirled, defending against the piercing threat of the death energy looming in front of her while she could sense the Heaven Cleaving Abyss was much stronger than before, causing her defensive technique to almost collapse.
However, she felt disappointed. Why was she wasting his potential like this when he should understand that he couldn't win?
Ellia's voice turned coy while Myria exasperatedly sighed, unable to believe these two children imposing their selfishness on her.
What was wrong with Davis, hurting Ellia this way? Even if he wants to die so badly, couldn't he go somewhere else?
She inwardly cursed and summoned another Light and Darkness Twin Spiral Gyration."
Davis appeared in another direction as soon as his attack ended, his hand already possessing a dark sword again. It was as though he unsheathed the power hidden within, unleashing it again.
*Ripp!~*
Space kept tearing apart all over again before the death energy reached her, breaking apart her defense like it was glass. However, Myria had already disappeared from that location, her figure enshrouded by light as she arrived at another location.
"No matter what you throw at me, it's useless. You're only harming yourself and the safety of your so-called precious women."
"At least, I made you dodge."
Davis let out a hoarse cackle behind the spatial tears that were quickly receding. His voice caused Myria to heavily frown as she finally saw his state.
"You're not serious. You are suicidal."
"Oh, really?"
Davis's face was extremely pale as though he was a corpse at this moment. Having used up twenty-five percent of his blood essence and soul essence, his entire body felt numb and vulnerable. However, he regained himself and moved, arriving before the spatial teleportation formation, looking like he was about to escape.
Seeing this, Myria sighed at this suicidal man. To go to such lengths to 'save' Ellia from her, she didn't know what to think other than feeling that he was a fool, although she felt complex since he was doing it for Ellia.
However, if he was going to run in the first place, why waste his potential in the first place?
"You're going to regret giving me a handicap and not attacking me at this moment."
Abruptly, Davis sneered from the safe zone, causing Myria to quiver ever so lightly.
"Hmph, it's already a miracle that you have not fainted when you're so-"
Myria didn't look impressed as she spoke when her tongue suddenly got stuck as she saw the sight underneath her.
Pure white light shone from Davis's forehead as well as his heart before it engulfed his entire body, causing Myria's eyes to fiercely dilate.
"You... you possess the Eternal Life Soul Physique...!?"
"...!?"
Myria screamed as she heavily shook her head, losing her cool for the first time that she caused Davis to startle because she showed more reaction than he expected.
