Chapter 314 Wooden Structure
Davis nodded his head, "I always kept thinking why you needed names to kill someone even though you can just target them directly, but now I finally can say that it is because of Karma Laws!"
From Old Man Garvin's Teachings, he learned that Karma Laws were formless and seamless but were able to be harnessed by those who comprehend it.
Karma Laws were used to indirectly bind people with contracts, just like a Blood Soul Contract which uses Karma Laws to establish a rigid connection between two parties.
They were also used in inscriptions and formations.
"Are you sure?" Fallen Heaven asked in a doubtful tone.
"Damn! What kind of spirit are you? You don't even recognize your own powers? Did you even really stay with Immortals??" Davis couldn't help but doubt its authenticity at this moment.
Was it really the spirit of the Death Book?
"Don't look at me like that! I can only talk about what is within my memories! I feel a close relationship with this newly released power just like the dark energy, yet I can't be sure of what it is... This is more frustrating than not being able to devour souls!"
"Alright, alright, we'll talk about this later..." Davis brushed it off and shifted his attention to the waterfall.
The raging waterfalls parted, and Isabella with a ravishing figure which was almost on par with Evelynn floated out.
"Follow me..." Her sweet yet mature voice echoed in his ears.
He quickly flew behind her and followed.
As they went out of the misty area, Davis started to talk, "So you are the one who Young Master Arashi was after?"
Isabella turned startled but her lips moved, "Yes.."
With his senses, Davis discovered the bloodstains which weren't there when he first arrived, and although there weren't any corpses, it remained obvious to guess what had happened here when combining with Isabella's question at the beginning.
"I take it that you have killed them already?"
"Of course! Those bastards deserved it!" Isabella replied as if it was a matter of fact.
Davis pondered for a second before opening his mouth again, "There were 9 of them, did you take them all out? Leaving even one of them alive could be dangerous!"
"I killed all nine of them, you don't have to worried about me, Prince Davis..."
She turned her face and smiled at him, "But the way you said it... 'So you were the one they were looking for' almost seems like you knew it beforehand that they would attack someone..."
Davis nodded and didn't deliberately hide it, "Yes, I sneaked near them and listened."
With this, he decided to sugarcoat it with a few harmless lies, "Since there were Sixth Stage Experts, I can only choose to act cautiously, so I came to breakthrough. My master wouldn't help unless I was in absolute danger..."
"So you had the thought to help that poor soul who was being targeted..." Isabella laughed gently.
"Not necessarily, I would've only helped if that person was innocent and truly a victim."
Davis smiled back at her, "Of course, If I knew that it was an acquaintance like you, I would've helped regardless if you were in the wrong or not."
Isabella widened her eyes slightly as she looked at him.
"But still, it would depend whether if I can deal with the enemy or not though..." He awkwardly chuckled.
Isabella rolled her eyes and looked straight as they continued to fly.
While they chatted for some time, they arrived at the place where she led him.
It was deep into the night because when they met, it had already been past evening.
Davis looked around and saw a small residence made out of wood, placed on top of a giant tree branch.
"Did you build this?" He turned to look at her and asked.
Isabella smiled, "No, I just took it and stayed for months. It was not used prior anyway..."
Davis turned confused, "No way, this area is close to the core region, you would've been attacked the night you stayed here."
Humans weren't welcomed here in Magical Beasts Territory, and this fact was quite obvious to him even without someone reminding him.
Even so, this woman says that she had stayed here for months.
Who was she kidding? Unless...
She gently laughed, "That would be the case but unfortunately, the circumstances are different, so I get a free stay here..."
Davis looked confused but nodded his head to her explanation with a whisper, "As long it is safe..."
He didn't know the circumstance, so he could only find out by interacting with her later.
The two of them flew above and entered the wooden residence which had 4 small rooms, with each small room wide enough to fit 3 people at the same time with ample space.
Isabella stepped into a room and gestured him to follow her in with her finger,
Davis slightly felt funny as he thought, 'This woman isn't seeing me as a man, is she?'
What he didn't know was that he was exactly right. It was true for Isabella because, in her view, he was nothing more than a junior whom she should take care of as they were from the same place, the Grand Sea Continent.
Besides, in her eyes, he still seemed like a kid even though he had grown up to be a man.
Although she didn't know about him, she subconsciously felt that she was close since she had seen him when he was little.
In truth, if it weren't for that, she wouldn't have let any man enter her residence, even if it was a temporary one.
Davis shook his head and once he entered her room, he found a place and obediently sat down.
In front of him was a wooden table, filled with half-eaten delicacies with bite marks left all over it.
Isabella waved her hands and the dishes that were there disappeared as she proceeded to sit down.
Once the delicacies disappeared, only a single smell was left and he knew that it was undoubtedly her fragrance!
