Divine Emperor of Death

"Then I will take my leave everyone!" Davis clasped his hands as he bowed perfunctorily. The pressure he was facing was offset by the two emperors who shielded him from Emperor Tritor.

"Hmph, thinking of running right after you picked a fight with me? Coward!" Emperor Tritor wasn't ready to take this lying down.

"I wonder who was it that honestly got scared and turned tail after blatantly coming to destroy our Empire?" Davis asked as he questioned mockingly.

"You!" Just when Emperor Tritor was going to make a move. A majestic aura spread as it surrounded the arena.

"Emperor Tritor, are you not going to show me some face? I've already said to stop, and you're still not stopping?" Emperor Ruth said as he released his majestic aura. He was dressed in golden imperial robes which had flood dragon patterns.

"Hmph!" Emperor Tritor said nothing as he sat down, he felt like torturing Davis for what he had done.

One thing he couldn't understand was why Emperor Ruth would help the little kid.

"Let's go," Davis said as he left the arena with Ellia.

A lone girl with fiery red robes sat in exactly 6m away from Davis. Her face was covered by a veil but her eyes were fiery hot as she blinked, Her long hair was blazing red as she tied it up in a ponytail, the left half of her face was covered by bangs as she blew it upwards with her mouth. From the moment she saw him, she was analyzing him with scrutinizing eyes.

'What guts! Doesn't he understand that he will get killed silently somewhere down the road?"

Some youths were looking at her weirdly. She felt as if their looks were asking, 'Is that kid your future husband?'

"What are you looking at? Scram!" Shirley shouted as she felt embarrassed by Davis. The other youths hurriedly turned their heads as they were somewhat afraid of her.

"Alright lads, you should learn from him. Look at his disposition, even daring go toe to toe with an emperor. A person of such calibre said that he is going to broaden his horizons. What are you all doing? Go participate in the preliminaries!" Emperor Ashton sent a Soul Transmission to all who came with him to participate in the tournament.

"Ehh... that's a drag"

"No way, we are not going!"

"It will be a massacre if we go!"

"Those plebians won't even be able to stand before us! Hmph!"

The replies he got almost burst his head.

'These kids!' He thought as he sighed.

Shifting his Soul Transmission to a lone girl who wore fiery red robes, he said, "Shirley, what do you think of him?"

"What broaden his horizons? Won't he get killed before even he reaches his adulthood!?" Shirley Ashton said as she fumed.

"Emperor Loret was with him, but Prince's Davis confidence doesn't clearly come from him..." Emperor Ashton said as his face changed. He thought of a certain possibility but didn't dare to make sure of it.

"Isn't he a little too overbearing for his age?" She asked in confusion.

"I think he has the power to back it up, although I'm not sure of it..."

"Then we will see it when the competition ends!" Shirley said as she looked forward to it. She was confident that she will get the first place during this Grand Sea Continent Meet.

Her temper is fiery when she speaks but when she contemplates, her personality changes to a calm disposition.

You could say that she just couldn't control her mouth, but could control her thoughts to a certain degree.

After this, the emperors chatted as they spent their time leisurely.

The young elites exchanged some pleasantries and then went back to being silent as if it were none of their business. But there were some youths who actively went around greeting and making acquaintances with everyone.

This arena was full of people with Sky Grade powers on the north side. Even various Sect Masters, Organisation Heads were present but they chose not to interfere with the emperors. Instead, they either talked or argued with the people as same as them.

...

A silhouette was running to the east of the Island in a relaxed manner, albeit that silhouette was extremely fast.

"Davis! Wait for me!" A girlish silhouette, which was frantically running with all it got, shouted atop of its lungs.

Hearing that, the silhouette, who was Davis, slowed down and maintained a pace which matched Ellia.

"Why do you run so fast! Don't leave me behind!"

"Haha, sorry. This place is so fun to run freely, I couldn't help but loosen my constraints."

These two were currently going through a forest. It was greenish with its calm and peaceful scenery which was filled with life.

"What if something happens? Then I won't be able to report to the Emperor. Don't go running without me!" Ellia said as she tried to berate him.

Davis who was running in front of her, turned his body towards her as he kept moving behind, "Yes, my queen!" He said as he bowed with one hand on his chest.

Ellia who heard that was stunned as her face blushed.

He pretended to not notice her blush and turned front. He felt good to bully her but didn't know that he was acting shamelessly, as a result, which only made Ellia like him even more and more.

After a moment passed, she calmed herself down and asked Davis as she was curious about that matter.

"Why didn't you let me fight that person. Even though I was kinda scared, I was sure that with my cultivation level that I could've taken him down."

"You could've taken him down but the consequences would have been different as that Emperor Tritor would've straight away killed you without giving any reason, as your status isn't high. So I had no choice but to make a move as he can't kill me that easily."

Hearing that, her face went pale but she quickly calmed down as she shouted at him.

"I swear that I'll get reliable like you... So please just help me grow stronger Davis!"

Davis smiled and nodded at her. This was the first time she asked anything of herself to him.
