Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-720

*Bzz!~*

Black lightning arced around the area and made the adjacent walls charcoaled. Davis felt that if he let it run rampant, it would soon destroy the building even if it was sealed.

There was a third function to completely release the Lightning Elemental from the energy chains that locked it. He obviously wasn't going to use it, so he kept the formation plate back into the spatial ring.

Davis mused how he should communicate with it when he suddenly realized. He facepalmed himself before his eyes flashed red, and the moment it did, although he expected it, he became astonished to discern its name and lifespan.

'Lightning Avidre... Less than an hour...'

Davis's lips twitched.

Its name was just normal, and not something incomprehensible. He had no idea who named it and how it was named, or whether if it should be even written in the Sky Word Language.

He had no idea what Avidre meant.

'Did the heavens name it, or did it name itself?' Davis mused for a few seconds before his attention went to its lifespan.

The Lightning Elemental was going to die soon, and it didn't take him much to understand that he should be the killer.

'So the communication fails? I even thought of using Fallen Heaven's death-like energy to try taming it...'

Feeling a little complicated, he turned to look at Princess Isabella, "Let's wait for an hour..."

Princess Isabella nodded her head without asking why in a compliant manner.

Davis wanted to see what would happen to the Derelict Extinction Lightning if he waited for an hour.

Would it still die?

That said, he couldn't just let it destroy the building with its black arcs of lightning, could he?

He walked forwards and raised his hand but was abruptly stopped by Princess Isabella.

"Let me do it..." With her arm blocking his way, she uttered and walked towards the front nearing the arcs of black lightning that swirled around its body like dragons and snaked, forming an intimidating posture.

"Careful... The black lighting possesses the property of extinction, so don't let it continuously attack you at the same place."

Davis was extremely familiar with the extinction property of the lightning attribute. On top of causing additional destruction, and disintegration, it is more than two times difficult to cancel it out with an attack of an equal level.

The extinction property makes the lightning almost inextinguishable! That's why it requires more energy to cancel it out in a battle, and also one of the reasons he chose this Lightning Elemental rather than the High-Level Lightning Elemental which held a differed property, perhaps becoming incompatible with him.

Hearing his reminder, Princess Isabella nodded her head and raised her hand.

Her yellowish-golden martial energy flowed out of her palms and fingertips as it surrounded the entire container, completely locking the Lightning Elemental in the container.

The numerous arcs of black lightning danced as if they found their target and all the black arcs of lightning transformed into an enormous bolt and struck a single place made out of martial energy!

*Bang!~*

The primitive martial energy barrier did not even experience a tremble as the black lightning bolt exploded.

Princess Isabella curved her lips. A few more black lightning bolts formed continuously hit the same spot, but it failed to make any difference, not even leaving a hint of a blemish on the yellowish-golden barrier.

Davis's lips twitched as he forgot to include the difference in level between Princess Isabella and the Derelict Extinction Lightning in his worry.

"I didn't think you would fail to compare... Perhaps, were you deeply worried about me?" Princess Isabella teasingly smiled back at him.

"Yes..." Davis didn't hesitate as he shamelessly replied.

Princess Isabella momentarily blinked before she turned away, looking at the struggling Lightning Elemental. Her teasing expression faded, replaced with panic as her pupils shook!

Right now to her, even the explosive sounds of the black lightning bolts paled in comparison to her heartbeat!

Although she knew that he would be worried about her, when he said it to her face just like that, her cheeks couldn't help but blush.

Princess Isabella turned disappointed at herself! She, a Martial Master, failing to control her bodily functions and expressions!

'What Martial Master?' She almost felt like punching herself on the face from embarrassment.

'In the end, I'm also another woman who hopelessly fell for a man...'

Princess Isabella thought that she would never become like this in the past. As she mused and subconsciously dealt with the Lightning Elemental's attack with her instincts, she kept it in check for a minute.

*Crack!~*

However, a crack suddenly appeared on her barrier!

Princess Isabella instantly noticed it and was about to repair it when the lightning bolt abruptly overwhelmed her defenses and pierced out of the crack that it created!

*Crack!~* *Crack!~* *Crack!~*

Numerous cracks started to appear spread on her barrier and Princess Isabella momentarily became confused as she saw her defenses be wrecked apart so easily.

Davis looked at Princess Isabella's confused gaze and glanced at the part where the Lightning Elemental was still attacking but was unable to do anything to the barrier.

He creased his brows before it widened, "Careful! It has probably dragged you into an illusion!"

He sent her a Soul Transmission, causing her to blink in realization. She instantly understood what was happening.

Due to her extreme physical senses, she knew that her barrier was still up without any damages but what she saw was an entirely different scene.

She finally understood that it was just an illusion and related it with the description she read about the Derelict Extinction Lightning. She failed to consider that the Lightning Elemental might drag her into an illusion and it really did, taking advantage of her while she was immersed in her thoughts.

Princess Isabella became unamused as her brows creased. She no longer gave it any leeway and concentrated her senses on it.

The black body of the Lightning Elemental abruptly trembled and dragons and snakes swirled out from its body, the air vibrating in its wake. It looked like calamitous dragons causing havoc from above the heavens, descending to create destruction upon the surface!

Its power increasingly grew, climbing to the next level, Mid-Level King Grade!

It didn't stop! Its power continuously grew, almost if it were unstoppable!

High-Level King Grade!

Peak-Level King Grade!

Its power neared the very limit of King Grade, trying to break through to Emperor Grade!

However, Princess Isabella and Davis looked unfazed. They knew that it was just an illusion. They might've believed it if its power stopped at Mid-Level King Grade as it was logical for it to increase its strength in danger but to increase it by three and even four levels...

Ridiculous!

The black dragons and snaked burst towards the barrier and scattered it into pieces as it shattered, destroying the whole chamber!

However, its two opponents didn't even bat an eye.

Feeling that the previous illusion didn't confuse the opponent, the Derelict Extinction Lightning knew that it could not lead her alone into an illusion, so it cast its illusion on its surroundings, not specifically catered to a single entity but the whole area; this chamber.

Even then, it failed to do anything.

*Shrreee!~*

It gave off an aggressive shriek and continued its illusions, creating chaos, making one of them grievously injured, however, it was all to no avail as they just didn't let it out!

Time passed... It abandoned the usage of illusions, and focused on attacks to break out of this sealing!

In the ten minute range, the black lightning bolt finally cracked the martial energy barrier but Princess Isabella just made it recover with a snap of her finger.

In the fifteen-minute mark, the Derelict Extinction Lightning went berserk and started attacking the same spot with thousand arcs of black lightning, giving off the terrible vibes of quickly destroying it.

But Princess Isabella just spun the barrier and instantly replenished the cracked places before it got struck again by the black arcs of lightning but in the end, it was all useless!

As if realizing that it is useless, the Derelict Extinction Lightning stopped its rapid attacks and started to slowly attack, raining down only small lightning bolts that weren't even comparable to the attacks that it launched before.

At that point, it was the fortieth minute!

However, Davis increasingly felt that there was something wrong.

Another five minutes passed as he saw its attacking interval was almost as long as a minute! He finally couldn't help but realize that he might've misinterpreted the situation!
