Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 105 - Eradicating the Soul Seal



Chapter 105: Eradicating the Soul Seal

"This is child's play for me! Merely with my restricted power level, it will take a long time to erase those chains." The crisp voice echoed as if it was dissatisfied, "As for side effects, there are none!"

"How long will it take?" Davis got excited for a moment before he gritted his teeth and asked. If it took a year, then he was determined to reveal his secret to his mother so that he could continue to remove the seal without making her go unconscious.

No matter what, he felt that his mother would in no way betray him.

After a moment, it replied, "A day..."

"A day? I got it..." Davis nodded his head for a moment, then suddenly felt that something was not right.

"Hmm? A day!? Only a day?" His eyes widened in disbelief.

"More or less! Hmph! If my powers weren't sealed, then it wouldn't even take me a millisecond to erase this seal!"

Davis floated there stunned. He couldn't fathom what kind of existence this Death Note was in this universe.

"Didn't you say that you unsealed yourself after a billion years of being sealed in that mini world?" Davis couldn't help but ask. His voice tinged with curiosity towards this anomaly.

"Kid, what I managed to unseal was the seal that restricted my freedom. My powers are still sealed, and it is difficult to unseal it by myself. Luckily, I merged with your soul. The stronger your soul becomes, the weaker my seal gets."

"Is this why you stayed with me?" Davis narrowed his eyes.

"Hehe, you could say that!" It replied as it laughed.

Davis heaved a sigh of relief. Now that he knew that both were benefiting from this partnership, he could stop doubting it all the time. He believed as long as he could provide it with some benefits, it will continue to be with him.

"Then let's get started!"

Suddenly, the soul strand he inserted into Claire's soul sea, turned incredibly dark as if it turned malicious.

Black gaseous substance oozed out from the soul strand as it approached the seal in an eerie manner.

Davis who watched that couldn't help but feel cold.

"Are you evil?" He involuntarily asked.

There was a moment of silence, "Evil? I don't know. But if you were to judge me by your human standards, then I have to say that I'm incomparably evil than any existence in the universe. After all, people only used me to kill, kill and kill." A reply sounded out in his mind, causing Davis to enter into a moment of contemplation.

He quickly shook his head and concentrated on eradicating that seal. The Death Note provided him with dark evil energy while he guided it to the seal slowly.

The dark gaseous substance made contact with the seal and started to corrode it as it spread around the chains evenly. Sizzling sounds sounded out as the chains started to melt and disappear.

"Hmm? Boy, l forgot to include your soul prowess in my calculations. Looks like it won't even take half a day to erase this seal." It was just a few seconds, but it was able to immediately notice the difference in the speed of erasing that seal.

Hearing that, Davis smirked, feeling proud of himself.

Time passed as he concentrated hard to melt the chains surrounding the blob of light.

Just when he melted the last connecting chain, the white blob of light trembled for a moment before scattering around the soul sea.

The chains that extended to the horizons disappeared as if it was never there in the first place.

"Is this a success?" Davis asked as he looked around the empty space.

"Should be..." It replied.

He nodded his head and disappeared from the soul sea.

...

Davis shuddered as he opened his eyes. He removed his finger from his mother's glabella and hurriedly checked her state.

Claire was drenched in sweat, and her eyebrows were narrowed while her breathing was rapid.

Davis hurriedly grabbed her hands and woke her up, "Mom! Wake up! It's me! Davis!"

Claire still had her eyes closed, not at all responding to his call.

"Use your soul to startle her awake." The crisp voice echoed in his mind.

Davis quickly used his soul to shout into her mind, "Mom!"

Claire opened her eyes as she immediately woke up and tried to catch her breath in a hurried manner.

"Mom, what had happened?" Davis asked worriedly. Even though it said that there will be no side-effects, he couldn't help but be worried.

After catching her breath, Claire looked at her son and tried to smile, "Nothing happened, it's just I was stuck in a nightmare." Claire replied and looked at her clothes which was drenched by her sweat.

"Wait here, mom will clean up in a few minutes." She caressed his cheeks, stood up and headed to the bath.

"Hmm." Davis acknowledged and saw her heading to the bath.

Claire opened the door to the bath and went inside as she closed the door.

"Hey!" Davis shouted furiously in his mind.

"That is not a side-effect of the removal of the seal. It is merely the side-effect of using my powers in her soul sea. Didn't she tell you that she had a nightmare? Calm down." It replied, causing him to make sense of the situation.

"Using your powers on someone's soul can cause nightmares?" He asked doubtfully,

"My power is aligned with death. Why don't you think about it? Besides, the soul is a miraculous entity. Even if anything untoward were to happen to it, you wouldn't be able to find a reason for it unless you are well versed in the understanding of the soul!"

Davis took in its words as he got tired. There were simply too many things that he didn't know about or couldn't understand in this world.

He stood up and went towards the cradle. He stood in front of it and whispered, "Compared to your sisters, I spent very little time with you. Hope you don't hate me for it, little brother."

He warmly touched Edward's cheeks as he caressed it.

"Big brother is sorry, by the time you are self-aware, big-brother would have already left for a different place. In those times, I hope that you will take care of our parents and sisters."

"Uwuu..."

A cute noise sounded out as if the baby was acknowledging his words.

As of now, Edward Loret, the second prince of the Loret Empire, was just a year old.
