Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-1215

Alia took a deep breath as she appeared weak, "The spatial distortion in this region makes it nearly impossible for people like us who know nothing about Space Laws difficult to traverse. It would be fine if the spatial distortion was a bit unstable as we could use the discrepancies in some spaces to escape after a searching our way out long time, but it remains stable as if the heaven and earth energy naturally support it."

She pointed at the Mid-Level Emperor Grade Lightning Elemental, "Only that seems to know the way in and way out. Or else, do you think we would need something like that?"

"Nevertheless, you should not be here. Go somewhere else until I die, and then, you can follow them out the way seem to have followed us he- Cough, cough..." She began to cough hoarsely.

"Alia, enough..." Mival held her dear, appearing as if he was afraid to lose her as he stared at Davis. It could be still seen that he couldn't just let this chance slip away from his fingers.

"You heard her! Move...!" Zanna's viridian eyes shone as she gritted her teeth while staring at Davis and Nadia. It could be seen that she was the same in wanting to capture him.

Davis remained expressionless, like he was trying to hide his nervousness, but he was absolutely relaxed in truth! He couldn't believe that two Ninth Stage Powerhouses refused to make a move on him despite having the absolute advantage on the surface. They appeared to stare at him like he was prey, but they seem to listen to the old lady's words despite that he felt hesitant to use Fallen Heaven on them.

'Are they trying to honor her death or something...?' Davis felt he was lucky this time too as the scenario was playing out as he thought it would.

This weak, old lady seemed to have the most say at this moment because of her last vulnerable moments. Since she said to let him go, they had no choice but to let him go. Otherwise, they would be trampling on her feelings and hope at this moment.

However, he understood one thing, that they wanted to remain and live together. That was a matter he could take advantage of.

"I have two demands..."

"Say what!? Do you want to die!?" Zanna took a step forward in mid-air as her viridian lightning surged all around her body. Her charming expression appeared extremely volatile at this moment.

"I swear that I can get Alia the nectar if you two comply with it..."

Mival's viridian pupils shrank as he echoed, "Stop!"

Zanna stopped even before Mival screamed, but she didn't retract her lightning as she growled, "You better be telling the truth, or I will make sure that you will follow your words to the end even if you change your mind!"

Mival's eyes were narrowed. For the first time after this long, he gazed at Davis and examined his bearing and expression. After a close look, he noticed that this brat didn't seem to be afraid of them. He frowned before he spoke, "What are your two demands?"

Davis pointed at the viridian fruit, "That and this Lightning Elemental..."

"Brat, do you even know the value of this resource?" Mival pointed at the fruit with a demanding look.

"Oh, believe me, I don't," Davis shook his head with a smile, "But I do know the value of the Million Emerald Calamity Vine's Nectar far exceeds this treasure's value at this moment for you three..."

Mival's expression remained unchanged, but he had to admit that he lost this one. The other party seemed to have listened to their conversation, which made him mad, but it couldn't be helped at this point.

In any case, he didn't want to make Alia use this damned fruit, which had already made her die an excruciating death all three times. He didn't want to watch something like that again as there was finally another way out. He inwardly gave up before he gave the nod to Davis.

"I will comply, but if you dare to break the deal, I promise that I will hunt you down and torture your soul before finally killing you even if I have to offend the Dragon Queen for it." Mival's eyes flashed.

It didn't seem like he was lying, and Davis knew that the other party would do what he said one hundred percent, but in his defense, Mival was incapable of doing that as Davis couldn't help but inwardly scoff instead of getting scared. What did he have to fear when he had Fallen Heaven with him?

"Count me in..." Zanna spoke, her viridian lightning receding into her body.

Davis stiffly smiled as he nodded. Now, he felt the danger that he couldn't feel from Mival, but he still couldn't help but take a jab at them.

"Don't worry. People say that I have the most trustworthy mouth despite having a wickedly handsome yet suspicious face, so I'm sure that after this, you would all thank me until you can thank no more."

"Stop wasting time and bring the nectar already. You can take the Lightning Elemental away but not the fruit. Zanna will accompany you." Mival looked unamused as he turned to look at Alia and saw her old body tremble that his eyes couldn't help but become soft.

Zanna appeared before Davis, "Let's go... I'll take you to the Alstreim Family. It would be faster this way."

She waved her hand, and the Lightning Elemental's spirit body flashed with a bit of viridian lightning that it couldn't help but tremble.

"Okay... Okay! I'll show the way out!" A melodious yet exhausted voice of a woman echoed.

"Wait..." Davis raised his hand, but he watched Mival and Alia, prompting Zanna to do the same as she turned to look at them. Perhaps, it might be the last time she sees her.

"Alia, what's wrong...?" Mival gently asked as she saw her still tremble.

Alia's eyes shook as it became moist. She shook her head, "Don't give me hope..."

Mival took a deep breath as he calmed down his emotions. He had to see it through to the end since he took this decision, but he had put the burden on Zanna instead because he wanted to remain with her even if things went south.

"Bear with me, Alia. I don't want to lose you one more time, not ever again. Only that nectar can help you reach the Martial Sage Stage, extending your lifespan to twenty thousand years. From then, we will have even more time to consider our future along with Zanna."

He turned to look at Davis as he held her dear and whispered, "I hate to admit it, but he is the only hope we have now. As long as he brings the nectar that revives your fires of vitality, I don't want anything else."

"Mhmm..." A low hum echoed from the old Alia.

"What are you looking at!? Have you never seen a fey love a human before? Quick! We don't have much time as Alia's vitality is decreasing by the second!" Zanna echoed as she pulled on Davis's wrist.

Davis flicked her hand away, causing Zanna's expression to turn awry, "You!"

"Don't be hasty. Haste makes waste..." Davis glared at her, and Zanna could only help but feel stifled even though she looked like she was going to flare up once again. However, she became confused as she couldn't understand how he could just push her hand away like that.

Even if her grasp was light, it should be impossible for a Law Manifestation Stage brat to brush her off like that.

Davis returned his look towards Mival, who also looked at him with narrowed eyes. Davis shook his head as he flashed down to the surface of the trench.

"!!!"

Nadia was about to follow when Zanna blocked her before they both started glaring at each other.

Davis arrived at the surface as he stood before Mival and Alia, but Mival moved Alia to his back as he blocked her from him.

Davis became taken aback before a slight smile hung on his lips, "A Ninth Stage Powerhouse fearing a Sixth Stage brat? That's a first for me..."

Mival didn't seem to fall for this provocation because he believed something was up. Davis's confidence was unnerving to his eyes that he couldn't help but instinctively protect Alia.

Who knew if this fearless-looking brat would somehow self-destruct for no reason. If he had to give up his reputation to protect her, he would gladly give it away, but he was a fey and his second wife was a magical beast. There were few places that they would be taken in the mid and large Territories, and even if they were taken in, it is doubtful if they would let Alia live.

Even if they helped her, it would be more like to possess leverage over them by casting a binding soul technique while healing her. Something like that almost happened at the last iteration that he didn't want to take a chance again.

Humans, magical beasts, and fey. All of them were treacherous without exception. The other races blames and feels hatred towards each other that he didn't want to take any chances. It is the individual he began to see, and what kind of individual was this brat in front of him?

He didn't know.

"I told you to leave and come back soon," Mival uttered.

"You want me to leave?" Davis appeared confused, "But, I thought we could end the deal right here..."

Mival frowned, "What do you mean?"

"We could end the deal right here and right now..." Davis implied his words.

"You want to back out!?"

"No, I already have the nectar with me..." Davis casually brought our a canteen as he held it in front of them.

"What is the meaning of this?" Mival's viridian eyes flashed as killing intent began to appear, "You think I'm a foo-"

His voice fell short while his eyes went wide as he saw Davis remove the lid, and a burst of rich and profound vital aura struck his face. Alia peeked out as she saw it, while even Zanna appeared to be taken aback in the skies.

It appeared to be undoubtedly the nectar they had wanted for a long time!
