Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1868: It's Right There...



Chapter 1868: It’s Right There…

Esvele’s heart shook as she instantly headed towards Verona Stein to save her and waved her hands against Tanya Frostblight as intense burning phoenix flames emerged from her jade-white palm, threatening to turn her into ashes as she was unguarded.

However, Tanya Frostblight had already retreated into the icy mirror and disappeared before the fiery attack could reach her. She was back beside Dalila Leehan, where she had stayed hidden all this time.

While she hid using Nethersnow Mirage Steps, she had one hand ready for defense and the other hand ready for using the Mirror Crossing Technique. As soon as she summoned the defense to protect Dalila Leehan, she simultaneously used the Mirror Crossing Technique and appeared beside Verona Stein as she summoned her icy sword.

Perhaps people forgot that she was also a sword cultivator; they didn’t expect her to have a sword attribute Supreme Domain, much less Verona Stein, who probably didn’t know of it, allowing Tanya Frostblight to deal heavy damage. However, did she cause fatal damage?

Tanya Frostblight didn’t know as she pursed her lips in worry and waited for Esvele to announce the outcome while Verona Stein was still inside the vines encirclement, protected by her garden of fiery flames.

After Esvele neared Verona Stein and saw the inside from the place where the icy sword cleaved, she saw Verona Stein holding her left shoulder that possessed a deep gash. Perhaps, if the attack had been to the side a bit, her head would’ve been split apart, resulting in her death. However, it was unlikely that Tanya Frostblight would be this ruthless, so she wasn’t angered but frustrated at herself.

“I’m fine…”

Verona Stein’s breathing was a bit strained, “Give me a few seconds, but this is humiliating. I can’t believe that I was caught off-guard by a second domain.”

Esvele stood in front of Verona Stein, blocking the path to her, “Don’t worry. This is not your fault. It’s my miss as I should’ve known that Tanya Frostblight would not have forsaken her sword arts.”

“You talk as though you know her…”

“Yeah, I have some friendship…”

While Esvele guarded and conversed with Verona Stein through soul sense, Tanya Frostblight and Dalila Leehan didn’t show any signs of attacking.

“What to do?” Dalila Leehan turned to look at Tanya Frostblight, asking for her input.

“I know. This is the best time to attack, but this isn’t a life and death battle. Don’t aggravate it. We’ve proved ourselves enough by injuring the other party, and the advantage is still on our side.”

“Right…”

Dalila Leehan remembered that the Alstreim Family had allied with the Burning Phoenix Ridge. As a Falling Snow Sect’s woman, she mused that Tanya Frostblight wouldn’t want to aggravate the relationship. However, the chorus of echoes from the Thousand Pill Palace for her to attack now was annoying for her to hear that she closed her ears.

“Not bad…”

In the Alstreim Family’s seating area, Davis nodded before he turned to look at the blue-robed woman by his side, leaning on him as they sat and relaxed on a luxurious deewan sofa.

“What do you think, Natalya?”

Natalya played using her fingers, drawing her name on his left chest as though she was charming him while she laid her head on his right chest, looking at the misty battle stage. Hearing his question through soul transmission, she couldn’t help but giggle.

“Do you mean her swordplay, her icy prowess, or something else?”

“Whatever you want to speak about. Whatever that is on your mind that cares for your friend.”

Davis intentionally remained ambiguous, appearing to Natalya at her with a faint smile on his face.

In response, Natalya cheerfully smiled.

“I’m the happiest woman here, but unlike me, my friend is not happy although she is getting by well. Only you can make her happy.”

Davis raised his brows.

“How do you know that?”

“I know it, but just so you know, she hadn’t uttered a single word to me about this matter. She’s a strong girl, but when it comes to the matters of love, she’s confused and lacks the courage to ask you because she doesn’t know what she would do if you were to reject her.”

“…”

Seeing that Davis didn’t respond, Natalya raised her head and looked at his handsome face that charmed her.

“You know, if it weren’t for my little sister, I would’ve recommended Tanya to you long ago.”

Hearing her words, Davis couldn’t help but smile.

“Do you want her?” Natalya asked as she placed her ear on his chest, wanting to hear his heartbeat.

“I want you.”

However, Davis’s words caused her heart to skip a beat.

“I’m flattered.”

Natalya softly smiled with satisfaction as she knew from the beating of his heart that he spoke the truth.

“No, really, I want you.”

“…?” Natalya raised her head, wondering if she heard it right.

“The resting room is just over there.” Davis glanced to the side and smirked, causing her heart to skip a beat again.

“Davis…?”

“Are you up for it?”

“I… I am.”

Looking at Natalya appear genuinely excited, Davis couldn’t help but reveal a satisfied smile, “Then wait for me. As soon as I deal with Dalila Leehan’s problem, I’ll come to see you there. We don’t want to be seen heading there together, right?”

“Mhm~”

Natalya’s cheeks heavily blushed. An intimate outside session with her husband? It sounded freaking hot as well as taboo, even though it wasn’t as it was her rightful husband she’s going to do it with!

“Natalya, what about me?”

Iesha, who was connected with Natalya’s soul, naturally heard everything and asked, blushing like Natalya.

“Are you prepared to lose your innocence to him?”

“…” Iesha went silent.

“See, you’re still scared a bit even though you already love him. If you want, I could have him take you by force. Trust me. It feels so good that you would find your soul leaving your body every now and then.”

“Ahh~ It sounds scarier than I imagined…”

“…”

Natalya didn’t know what to say.

Did she make a mistake? Where could she find a book on how to talk with spirits about the matters of love, especially love to another race such as humans?

“Sigh, when the time comes, just leave yourself vulnerable to him. It’ll feel immensely good. I promise.”

“Mhmm~”

Natalya could only state this way while Iesha nodded. She was brave enough for a kiss but not ahead of that as she knew she was going to break the horizons she learned growing up as an imperial spirit who believed spirits were supreme while thinking humans were not to be treated like cattle or slaves differently than other spirits but now that she was going to finally make love with a human, she had the feeling that her entire life was going to change once she does the deed and that was scary to the current her.

*Boom!~*

Fire, ice, and sword intent blew all over the battle stage in copious amounts, threatening to destroy the fabric of space in a small area as cracks emerged.

“That’s enough. The battle’s over.”

However, Honorable Elder Julian Kruse’s voice resounded while Natalya’s gaze focused back to the battle stage and saw that Tanya Frostblight and Dalila Leehan’s battle had finally come to an end.

Tanya Frostblight seemed to take deep gasps of breath, her ample bosoms heaving along with her. She had fought hard along with Dalila Leehan to defeat Esvele and Verona Stein but couldn’t achieve the favored result in the end. Still…

“The winners of this battle are Tanya Frostblight and Dalila Leehan.”

They managed to keep the advantage to the end while Esvele and Verona Stein refused to stab each other in the back and got eliminated together because of their smaller domain size. They all looked equally exhausted while having their robes torn apart in a few locations, but it wasn’t extensive enough to be termed as inappropriate.

The crowd enjoyed the match and cheered for them, creating a boisterous atmosphere.

Natalya smiled at them before she raised her head and pecked Davis’s cheek with a soft kiss, and stood up, sighing as she held her forehead with her frail-looking pale palm.

“Sigh, I feel some headache after trying to comprehend Ice Laws from Iesha. What a brain freeze… Ah, this does not feel good as my head keeps hurting. I’ll go take some rest.”

“Alright.”

Davis simply nodded as he also stood up, getting ready to make trouble while Natalya left.

He approached the edge of the seating area, appearing to take a step in the air to fly out when he suddenly stopped.

“What did you do to piss off Natalya?”

Evelynn sounded concerned as she appeared beside him, looking solemn. Her tone made Davis become flabbergasted.

Was Natalya’s acting that credible? It didn’t seem like that to him!

Nevertheless, looking at the big sister care for the sister she first made a bond with, he couldn’t help but reach out his hand and caress her lush purplish-green hair with fondness.

“It’s just an act. I’m going to smother her with my love in the resting room soon enough, so don’t let anyone enter.”

Evelynn blinked before she couldn’t help but silently giggle, watching him leave.

“???”

Meanwhile, the others had no idea what was going on as Davis and the others mostly spoke in soul transmission, not that they were curious enough to interfere in everything. However, looking at his figure head towards the Thousand Pill Palace’s seating area, they all couldn’t help but instinctively turn look at Dalila Leehan.
