Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-52

"Haha, this was just a test. If you had failed, then the heavens had commanded me to kill you!" Davis laughed in a hoarse voice.

"Then.. Did I pass?" Harman asked doubtfully.

"What do you think?" Davis approached closer to him.

"Since I was chosen and have successfully dodged your move, then I can say that I have at least passed." Harman deduced but still took a step back seeing Davis near him. He was still a little fearful of the pain.

"Yes, you have successfully passed!" Davis smiled. He was now in front of Harman.

"Really? Yes!" Harman clenched his fists in elation. He felt that his strength was going to leap soon in a short amount of time starting from now.

"But I don't think the heaven requires your help anymore, so could you please die by killing yourself?" Davis tried to see how far the effect of the Death Note can influence him.

"Eh?" Harman who heard that felt that he was thrown into a pit of despair. He couldn't believe his ears. This lasted just for a moment before he tried to escape.

'I see, it doesn't affect his personality if I don't write about that specifically huh?' Davis thought.

"Harman, sadly.. You cannot defy the will of the heavens. You will be paralyzed."

Harman who tried to fly away with his Revolving Core Stage Cultivation, plummeted down the alley as he crashed.

"What? What have you done to me?" He tried to shout but only incomprehensible words came out of his mouth. Then he sent him a Soul Transmission.

"Oh that, I said that you cannot defy the will of the heaven. So you will obviously have to die." Davis casually replied.

"Spare.. Spare me!"

Davis stood in front of him and lifted him up.

"Huh? Spare you? Why didn't you do that when you massacred a whole village? When you massacred a dozen of villages? They should have said the same.."

"No way, even If I massacred, the heavens chose me so how could I die!?" Harman shouted with rage.

'Ahh, now I get it. This person is twisted and probably broken somewhere. That kind of explains his massacring hobby.' Davis thought.

But hearing his self confident delusional statement, Davis snapped.

"I don't know how trash like you can think of the heavens helping you! Even if the heavens are neutral, they surely won't side with a scum like you who kills for no reason!"

*Stab*

Davis used the Silent Erupting Finger once more in conjunction with the First Layer of Extinction Lightning Jugement, Lightning Amplification.

His finger pierced into Harman's chest before exploding with the power of Extinction Lightning. The Extinction Lightning started to corrode and burn his heart as well as all his internal organs. His body convulsed on being electrocuted.

"Ahhhhh!!!" Harman shouted in pain, but wasn't able to move. He tried to escape using his soul but before he could do that, a bright lance stabbed at his soul.

"Your fate is sealed." Davis said as he held him up.

That bright lance was the technique he had gotten from the Second Layer of Sacred Luminance Mist, the Piercing Sacred Lance. It even has the power to exorcise ghosts effectively.

Harman's eye went wide and froze. He died. Davis then absorbed his deceased soul and refined it using the Death Note.

He felt his soul being rejuvenated.

'This amount… Two more Peak Level Infant Soul Stage souls and I could probably break into Young Soul Stage quickly.' His face had a look of excitement before he calmed down.

Davis then stored his corpse casually with a calm and indifferent face.

He activated the Dark Concealing Shroud Art and made his way out of the alley.

Just when he was traversing the streets, he suddenly detected two more presences heading to the place where he was before.

Davis narrowed his eyes.

'These two… aren't they the two Sky Grade Assassins from before? Why are they here?'

'Could it be that they're going to kill a target in that direction or are they leaving the Royal Capital through the South Gate?' Davis was curious so he followed them stealthily.

But after following those two, he saw that they stopped at the alley where he was before, investigated for a time before returning in the direction of the Dark Earth Organization Branch.

Davis contemplated for a moment, he had a vague doubt on his Death Note.

'Could it be because I wrote 'He waits there till a certain person shows up to end his life' in the Death Note? So even if I hadn't made a move, he would've already died from getting killed by some other person? So in this case, the Death Note somehow attracted those two assassins to get him killed? If that is so then the Death Note is truly interesting.' Davis grinned at the thought but quickly calmed down.

'Then I will have to be extra careful on what I write in the Death Note, lest I bring trouble to myself.' He sighed, thinking that this Death Note can even act as a double edged sword.

Davis then left the area, heading towards the Dark Earth Organization Branch.

Once he reached that place, he deactivated the Dark Concealing Shroud Art.

He used the Dark Organization Badge to temporarily deactivate the Illusion formation in the underground cellar. He then used the badge again to open the door to the Hall.

...

In the Dark Earth Organization Branch, Main Hall.

Yellow who was wallowing in sadness suddenly saw Davis. He suddenly had a look of fear.

"Senior Dead End!" He shouted and hurriedly ran to him.

Davis heard that and headed towards him calmly with hands behind his back.

"Is senior here to withdraw from the mission? It might take a long time to find and kill him but there is no need to withdraw for that reason is there? I can wait for a long time for senior to complete the mission, I can even wait…." Afraid that Davis might withdraw from this mission, Yellow tried to come up with various kinds of reason to not make him withdraw, but before he could bullshit, Davis stopped him.

"Senior, please… If you backout then I will be punished as a result." Yellow anxiously pleaded.

"I have completed the mission." Davis said calmly.

"Senior, please don't withdraw from this mission, my life depends on it." Yellow looked like he was going to cry soon.

Davis snapped his fingers, it made Yellow come out of his reverie and consequently turn the attention of the crowd towards him.

"I said that I have completed the Peak Level Earth Grade mission." This time, Davis said it slowly.

"Eh?"
