Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-533

The beast-like man thrashed around the battle platform in a frenzy, destroying all he could before he saw the spectators.

*Boom!~*

With a resounding bang, his legs propelled him forwards as he instantly shot towards the spectators' seats in the location where Davis sat along with Evelynn.

Looking at the beast-like man targeting the people in his direction through pure coincidence, Davis just sat, not at all fazed. Only an item was summoned into his hand. 

On the other hand, Evelynn turned aghast while all the people reacted in a similar manner.

Some people froze while some others shot to the back. Some of them even threw the people near them to the beast-like man, creating chaos in the spectator seats.

With the beast-like man running with all four of his limbs faced towards the ground, he pounced out of the edge of the battle platform and tried to claw the spectators with a jolt!

*Boom!~*

The beast-like man suddenly hit face-first on a transparent barrier that reacted upon contact, throwing him towards the rear.

*Rawrrr!~*

With a furious yet painful roar, the beast-like man flew behind and crashed towards the platform.

The spectators in the seats were all quelled once the fear and the adrenaline left them. They all realized that the barrier erected here was a Low-Level Emperor Grade Defensive Formation, so they all displayed awe at the barrier before proceeding to watch the ongoing spectacle.

This told them that the beast-like man had lost all semblance of sanity as he couldn't even recognize the presence of the translucent barrier.

Some even cast a derisive glance at the beast-like man before they saw that the barrier slightly shook, still reverberating from the impact. They then all didn't dare to provoke the beast-like man anymore!

The beast-like man's crazy eyes finally caught sight of a lone female figure who was on the battle platform, watching him with scrutiny.

Princess Isabella stiffened when she realized that a hungry gaze landed on her. At the same moment, she felt constricted as if she were trapped behind a cage, waiting to be devoured by a crouching tiger intent on snapping her neck.

However, she knew that sense of feeling was only an illusion of her own mind, telling her to be alert.

When the beast-like man went berserk and no longer had any semblance of consciousness, she was left confused.

According to the Earth Dragon Immortal, shouldn't he die after ingesting plenty of blood essence like that without reserve?

'Did Earth Dragon Immortal say like that because it's an Immortal Level existence and could not be compared with a magical beast that is at the Eighth Stage?' Princess Isabella thought as she saw the beast-like man run towards her with an intent to rip off her head into pieces.

She didn't cower but stood her ground with a highly focused expression on her face.

"This! She's going to die! Royal Protectors, let's name a move!" Crown Prince Hadre shouted as felt his opportunity arise!

A chance!

If he could successfully save the damsel in distress and win her heart or perhaps even her gratitude, he could at least try to get benefits like cultivation resources. That said, he was not going to make a move alone only to possibly get injured.

He invited the two Royal Protectors beside him to make a move so that they could work together and quell the monstrosity born in their capital!

Unlike that Emperor's younger brother who had acted without considering his own lowly status, he felt that he should keep a distance and instead gain benefits!

He quickly formulated a plan in his mind and intended to execute it but the words Royal Protector Aleron said left him anxious.

"Let's wait for a few seconds before making a move. She should have life-saving talismans capable of protecting her for a short period of time."

"Yes, if we make a move at the right time and manage to save her, our Empire will successfully gain a backer!" Royal Protector Freed said with excitement.

Of course, they spoke with Soul Transmission, so no one other than them had heard the conversation.

The beast-like man had closed the distance with his insane speed. With his cultivation base hovering at the Eighth Stage, he extended his violent claws and pounced on Princess Isabella with his mouth wide, intending to bite her neck while holding her down like how a tiger would do!

Princess Isabella hardened her long legs as she braced herself for the impact. She then raised one of her hand and a big yellowish golden scale became visible, hardening the capacities of her defense.

*Clang!~*

At the same time, a claw clashed on the scale causing a heavy metal-like sound and she instantly maneuvered her body to the side, evading the other claw that was aimed at her shoulder.

Taking a back step, she maneuvered to the gap between the arms of the beast-like man and swung her hand directly from below his head.

*Whoosh!~*

A slicing sound could be heard echo around the battle platform, making people confused about what had happened.

They just heard the air slicing sound and a few moments later, the head of the beast-like man separated from his neck. The transformed head of the beast-like man collapsed to Princess Isabella's back while the blood spurted from the neck coating her figure into a bloody warrior holding a sharp-edged sword in her hand.

The sharp-edged sword had dragon patterns all over the blade, and above the hilt was a dragon's maw that loomed to let out an angry roar at the place where the edge of the sword was pointing at!

Davis's pupils experienced a change as he recognized the sword! 

'Earth Dragon's Destructive Sword!'

This was the sword that he saw as a projection in the King Grade Treasury of the Earth Dragon Immortal's Inheritance! 

The sword had severed the beast-like man head from his neck, giving a shock to the ones over in the VIP platform. They didn't think the battle would've ended in an instant!

'What is this!???'

Crown Prince Hadre shouted in his mind in disbelief!

Then the beast-like man's body collapsed and the sword emitting tremendous undulations became exposed to his eyes.

"P-Peak-Level King Grade Sword!?" He inadvertently blurted out.

Even he didn't have a sword of that caliber as only his father, the Emperor possessed one!

As for the Royal Protectors, even they had their eyes widen in shock.

Although they had King Grade Weapons, it was only at High-Level in terms of sturdiness and strength, even dropping to the Mid-Level if not used and taken care of properly.

Among the 29 Royal Protectors, only a few were in the possession of a Peak-Level King Grade Weapons, but even then they would treat it like a treasure!

They would polish it from time to time, treating the blade and the spirit inside with utmost care as if they were feeding their own baby.

Crown Prince Hadre looked at Princess Isabella's bloody figure with a slight tremble as if experiencing her valor firsthand.

This woman quickly took a sword out and used it with a swing of her hands as if the beast-like man's ferocity and pressure counted for nothing, beheading him!

The two Royal Protectors also realized this point. They belatedly understood that she wasn't even scared when faced with that hulking monstrosity that had turned berserk! This woman possessed so much guts than them or even the Crown Prince who sought their help to quell the monstrosity!
