Chapter 3666 A Bloody Saber

Chapter 3666 A Bloody Saber

Davis watched the progression of the Candidacy for some time before he returned his gaze to Stella.

"How come you vultures are not bald but have a ruby crown? Is it obtained, or is it a natural growth?

He saw that she was talking to a female Soul-Devouring Blood Vulture who was at the Immortal King Beast Stage.

Apparently, she was a failed Young Mistress candidate of this clan. She married Harmon.

By all means, he should've killed her but it seems that their marriage was only in-name and not fulfilled. Harmon was recently awoken in the Heavenly Ice Stasis Valley, so it wasn't like they promised to each other. In fact, she was married to Harmon to offset her failure to become a Young Mistress while Harmon himself didn't have time to fulfill the marriage as he trained for the Candidacy.

He confirmed through soul-searching her, so he didn't go as far as to kill her.

His targets here were Immortal Emperors alone. He killed as many as twelve of them, eight at the Early Stage, four at the Mid Stage, and one at the Late Stage. The Late Stage Immortal Emperor was a Soul-Devouring Blood Vulture Fey who barely managed to lock him down but was overpowered by Stella.

Needless to say, he had absorbed all of their soul essences and could comprehend their destructive karmic property through comprehension clouds, so he was rather excited.

Nevertheless, he did end up killing her grandfather, who was a Grand Elder, a Level Three Immortal Emperor Beast. But unexpectedly, she didn't feel any hatred towards him, as though she had welcomed such a result.

Nonetheless, seeing Stella casually talk to that female magical beast, he wanted to warn her not to be too friendly.

Then again, Stella was a good girl. Her natural disposition was she was kind to all life as long as they didn't needlessly provoke her. He wondered if it would be good to interfere in her growth as he didn't want to shape it into a deadly persona like her mother's. He liked her cheerfulness too.

"Your eminence, can you take me with you?"

Noticing his gaze, that female magical beast walked towards him and knelt on the ground, her gaze lowering.

"I'm prepared to be your magical beast mount, even if it means sharing a slave beast contract."

"You think you're worthy?" Davis coldly uttered, causing her to shudder.

She knew full and well how this person, who was on the same level as her, took down all the Immortal Emperors of her clan in a span of fifteen minutes. She guessed it would've been even earlier if the Immortal Emperors hadn't run around or if he hadn't slowly battled with them as though wanting to experience their powers, even their tricks and habits.

From what she had seen, it was a one-sided slaughter.

However, he also knew Schleya was too attached to her blood-attributed curved blades, Crescentblood. He didn't know if she would use this armament even if she accepted it.

In the same way, Davis also felt if Schleya needed the Soul-Devouring Blood Vulture's blood essence, he could use this female magical beast as a source.

He saw that she still didn't reveal any kind of hatred towards him. Even his Heart Intent failed to find any. In fact, there was only gratefulness and fear, making him honestly confused. He guessed that she didn't want that marriage or to be controlled, but if she didn't want to be controlled, it didn't make sense for her to offer herself to him on a silver platter and come under him with a slave beast contract.

'She's after power...?'

Davis guessed before he kept the saber inside his spatial ring and opened his mouth.

"What is your name?" He already knew, but he still asked her.

"My name is Licora Harmon."

Davis couldn't help but smile.

The Harmon didn't come from marrying Harmon but she was part of the Harmon Clan that Harmon created before he went to sleep in the Heavenly Ice Stasis Valley. So in essentiality, Harmon was marrying his own great granddaughter hundreds or thousands of generations down the line, which made them mostly divorced from each other's genetics but still made Davis laugh as the cultivation world was funny with these types of relationships.

He raised his hand, his voice echoing out in a commanding tone, "I may have a need for you in the near future. You may wait for me, and if I don't come within a month, it means I don't need you."

"Understood, your eminence- no, my lord~"

"..."

Davis inwardly shook his head at Licora Harmon's words.

She was going to be hated by her brethren and sisters to death, as what she did was a clear betrayal of her clan. However, it wasn't like they couldn't do anything about it, as she was the strongest person here.

Despite being a magical beast, he could sense her prowess was three levels higher.

Clearly, her soul was mightier than any Saint Magical Beast.

As for the Young Mistress, she had been a Level Two Immortal Emperor whom he carved her bird face with Yama and caused her to screech loudly before he severed her into two. Perhaps Licora Harmon liked that scene and chose to come under him as he saw in her memories that she hated the Young Mistress very much for bullying and torturing her with influence.

It was like her suppressed soul had finally been granted relief by him.
