Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-51

Davis who had returned to the Royal Castle couldn't wait to see Evelynn alone as he now liked her very much.

In the Study.

"Davis, what happened?" Ellia asked Davis with a weird face.

"Hmm? Nothing happened."

"No matter how I see it, you're smiling creepily from the time you entered the Study. Don't tell me you have been seduced by that vix… your future concubine?" Ellia almost screamed but held back at the last second.

"Eh?"

Davis now then realised that he was smiling like a fool after checking his face.

'Have I been seduced? Or did I fall for her by myself? No way could she have seduced me! My soul is powerful than hers!' Davis thought.

"It's not like that but I think I have started to like her." Davis replied sheepishly.

"You! Didn't you say that you will release her from this marriage if she doesn't like you?"

"I did say that, but now, if she said that she didn't like me, then I will just have to make her like me."

"You're going to use unscrupulous means?" Ellia had her eyes widened.

"Hey! I never said that!" Davis hit her head lightly while Ellia pouted.

"I won't do that, she's not taken as far as I know. I'll try my best to win her heart."

She glared at him as she asked "What if you can't?"

"Only time will tell." Davis said with a profound expression on his face.

'What time will tell? You'll only bully her just like you bullied me!' Ellia thought hatefully.

...

Night came as the day passed by.

Davis sneaked out smoothly as he was pretty used to this now. He made his way to the South Gate hoping to spot Harmon again.

He used his Soul Sense to scan the area around.

"Fuck!" He blurted out loudly as he could see many people fuck in their rooms, bath in their restrooms. His sense was mostly concentrated on women though.

He quickly pulled back his Soul Sense.

"Ah my soul!" He held his glabella.

'What the hell? Why didn't these people setup stronger formations around themselves. I can see them fucking around like dogs! Arghh.. Why didn't the novels I read mention this before?' Davis had every cell of his brain turn hostile to the authors of the webnovels he read.

He took a deep breath to calm himself down.

This time, he used his soul sense to avoid the places where he last saw people acting indecently.

His soul can extend upto extended up to 15 km. Normal Peak Level Infant Soul Cultivators can only extend their Soul Sense upto 3 km. This again proves that Davis had a very powerful soul.

Since he was in the Infant Soul Stage, he can summon his soul out of his body. He tried to summon his soul when he when he was in the Mid Level Infant Soul Stage, and as a matter of fact he was able to summon it smoothly. When he summoned his soul out of his body, he then to his horror, realised that he couldn't control his body. He was horrified for a second before calming down because it made sense that he was unable to control his body with his soul being outside. He then thought that he will be able to control his body after reaching a higher stage in Soul Cultivation.

He then tried performing some techniques in the soul form. Body Tempering Cultivation and it's related techniques were totally useless in that form. He could only unleash his Soul Cultivation and a bit of Essence Gathering Cultivation.

Just when a few seconds passed, Davis's eyes lit up.

'He finally arrived!' Davis was jubilant cause he wouldn't have to waste his time anymore on this target.

There was a shady silhouette in the alley a few kms away from the South Gate. That silhouette looked like it was looking for something or inspecting something.

Davis knew that the silhouette was his target because his Soul Sense could penetrate the silhouette's concealment and disguise without even alerting it.

Harman would only find if Davis's probing was deep, like inspecting his body for a few seconds, otherwise he wouldn't feel a thing. This applies to all cultivators, that's why powerful Soul Cultivators were feared. Who would want their privacy to be invaded?

Davis casually moved and headed to the alley where Harman was.

After a few minutes, he arrived at that place silently.

"What are you searching for?"

Harman who was minding his own business was startled, he quickly stretched his Soul Sense out. To his astonishment he couldn't find anyone with his High Level Infant Soul Stage Cultivation even after probing.

Suddenly he felt his senses telling him to dodge. He quickly dodged sideways.

*Splat*

Blood gushed out of Harman's neck in the side as he felt his neck corrode and burn. He immediately tried to suppress the rampaging energy but to his surprise, he found out that he couldn't stop it even though the energy going berserk inside him was of Energy Condensation Stage.

"What is this? Who are you?" Harman shouted fearfully as he totally lost calm. He could tell that his foe had a powerful Soul Cultivation.

Davis deactivated his Dark Concealing Shroud Art. He still had his disguise on.

"Tch… What is a vermin doing sneaking around the Royal Capital?"

"Senior? Are you one of the cultivators from the Royal Family? I guess we are fated, there is no need to fight." Suddenly Harma's eyes glowed.

'What the hell is this person saying?' Davis was confused but still had an indifferent expression.

"Senior may not believe me but I received word from the heavens to come to this place and wait for something.. Maybe someone. Since senior is here, then it must be related to you." Harman hurriedly explained.

"Ahh!" Davis finally understood.

'As I expected, looks like the Death Note can even really whisper into one's soul and deceive them. Or did he believe himself to be a chosen one and got delusional?'

Since things were like this, Davis decided to play a little with his delusions before killing him for good.
