Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-1082

While Evelynn was quite stunned by the sudden call for a battle exchange with her, Davis's lips suddenly yet slightly widened into a smile the next second as if he was amused.

In reality, his mood did dramatically improve!

'Someone finally challenged Evelynn to a battle exchange!!!' He became overjoyed.

In truth, Evelynn didn't catch him descending the floors, but he timed it so that she would accompany him by herself. After all that breakthroughs in both cultivation base and law comprehension, he felt that it would be a bit of waste if he didn't showcase his prized treasure's ability.

'Oh... Is this how Isabella felt when she said that she wanted me to shine like a bright star...?'

Davis felt like he could finally relate to her feelings.

He also recalled how he wanted Ellia to grow along with him in the Grand Sea Continent.

'Yes, a surpassing ability is meant to be flaunted!'

Nevertheless, a bit of acting was in need.

"You want to battle my wife?"

Diamanda Alstreim reacted, "Yes! If I have over-reached my authority and acted presumptuously, I ask for your esteemed self's forgiveness. I wanted to see what kind of woman ended up being actually worthy of your esteemed self, and I merely want to accept the fact through my own strength."

Davis chuckled a bit, "Your meaning is that you don't accept Evelynn being at my side..."

"I don't dare!!!" Diamanda Alstreim's expression fell as she lowered her head.

In fact, she truly did think that way, but she knew that she would be courting death to say that. Also, she knew that it wasn't just her, but many were dissatisfied with Evelynn sitting beside him.

How can a poison cultivator be beside him but not them...? Ugh!!!

This thought was clearly visible in their eyes but not their mouths.

"Why not?" Evelynn abruptly stood up in a gentle manner, "I accept your challenge but... how are we going to decide the winner?"

Diamanda Alstreim giggled, "Don't worry, I'll be suppressing my cultivation to your stage and level."

"If you're battling me, then you must be aware that it is difficult to cure poison, and I recently had a 'major' breakthrough in my cultivation, so I dare say that there's a good bit of chance for you to die..." Evelynn amicably smiled.

Diamanda Alstreim's expression twitched.

What gall!!!

A High-Level Law Manifestation Stage Cultivator is arrogant towards a Mid-Level Law Dominion Stage Cultivator!? And that too when the Law Manifestation Stage Cultivator's foundation is quite unstable with a bit of their essence energy leaking every second!?

It was rather obvious to her, and everyone present, that this woman was relying on pills to quickly breakthrough with her foundation being this weak!

She was utterly pissed off, but she didn't lose her calm.

"I am indeed aware that battling with a poison cultivator is dangerous, but it is only a problem when the poison invades my body, right? Do you really think that-"

"Don't say that I didn't warn you after you lose, and also, I don't need you to suppress your cultivation base to my level..." Evelynn cut her short while still having a faint smile on her face.

Diamanda Alstreim coldly smiled, her gaze becoming chilling, "You are too arrogant!"

"Very well! Don't blame me that I was bullying you with a higher cultivation base when you lose!"

"As for how we are going to decide the winner..."

"This will be a battle exchange using only one's Essence Gathering Cultivation."

"One person would attack, and the other would defend in a single exchange, and the one who successfully injured the opponent or defended against the opponent's attack will win that particular exchange and earn one point."

"We'll have an odd number of exchanges, and the first to lead by two points would become the winner!"

"Are we clear on that?" Diamanda Alstreim's voice resounded in the hall.

"Where should we start?" Evelynn looked around, "Surely, it can't be here as I don't want to accidentally poison other people."

"That won't be a problem!" Kayan Alstreim suddenly stood up before he looked towards Alchemist Davis.

"I have a Peak-Level King Grade Defensive Formation with me that can cover an area of a square kilometer. Do I have the permission to set it up in this hall?"

"Go ahead..." Davis shrugged before he pointed far back, "You can set it over there..."

"I understand..." Kayan Alstreim acknowledged before he flew to set up the formation.

Soon after the formation was promptly set up, Evelynn and Diamanda Alstreim walked into the defensive formation and stood over both ends, maintaining a distance of five hundred meters.

Since the defensive formation covered an area of a single square kilometer, they still had plenty of space to maneuver, but with their current speed and attack range, the area was small, to say the least.

Everyone was of the thought that the battle exchange would end soon.

"You attack first, and I'll defend..." Evelynn still wore a faint smile on her face.

She glanced to the left and saw that Davis was watching her.

However, Diamanda Alstreim also had a faint smile on her lips.

'Acting so confident... If I don't rip apart that facade of yours, I am not a woman of the Alstreim Family!'

She was intent on humiliating Evelynn by never winning the battle exchange!

She would torture Evelynn every round and feign injury the next! This way, the battle exchange would never end, and she could keep on harassing Evelynn with this method until Evelynn became miserable, accepted defeat, or begged for forgiveness!

Of course, she knew that she could not go overboard with Alchemist Davis watching, so she was planning to do this until they reached the count of ten exchanges.

Evelynn would win in the end. She would end up losing the exchange, but she would come out satisfied since she would make Evelynn suffer for a while. Perhaps, this would also make everyone feel good.

Diamanda Alstreim walked a bit forwards as flames suddenly rose behind her back. Her Law Dominion Stage essence energy turned into a massive emergence of flames that instantly tried to take shape into something as it kept blazing!

*Sizzle!~* *Sizzle!~*

The air instantly became hotter than a volcanic atmosphere inside the hall!

She steadied herself, slightly twisted her hips, and joined her palms into a snake-shaped creature before she threw her hands at Evelynn.

"Careful!"

*Sizzle!~* *Sizzle!~*

The air let out searing sounds as it was passed by these intense crimson flames.

Evelynn lifted up her arms without missing a beat. Her essence energy rushed out like a tide out of her body, intending to clash with the snake-head flame that rushed at her with its jaws open in a frenzy.

*Rumble!~*

Both of their attacks clashed!

The snake-head crimson flames came to a stop as Evelynn's pure essence energy held it in bay!

She slightly narrowed her eyes as she felt the heat brush her face. It was quite intimidating as it was the first time she was facing a Law Dominion Stage Cultivator, but her lips turned into a curve, knowing that she can easily suppress this attack.

She clasped her palms together, and suddenly the essence energy that connected with her body turned into an orange-colored essence energy attack!

*Sizzle!~* *Sizzle!~*

The crimson snake-head that tried to swallow her essence energy suddenly started to tremble before it crumbled into thin air!
