Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 106

As Davis spent the moment whispering to his beloved little brother, a voice sounded beside him .

"Claire Alstreim!"

"Is that your name, mother?" Davis turned back and asked .

"Yes!" Claire said with a huge smile on her face .

Davis could see that she was incredibly happy now that the seal that restricted her from divulging information got removed .

"Good name!" He had never used the Death God Eyes on his parents before, so he really didn't know his mother's real name .

Even he didn't know why he did not use the Death God Eyes on his parents . He just brushed it off as a kind of respect .

"Your master's method of removal is surprisingly bizarre . I didn't think I would get caught up in a nightmare . "

Davis gingerly laughed as he acted spoiled, "I was just clumsy and messed up a step . Other than that, I perfectly managed to remove the seal that had been placed on you, mom!"

"Playing with your mother's soul!? You really have no fear! Good thing that all went well, otherwise, today would've been a tragedy . . . " Claire shuddered as she said .

Davis shut his mouth as he blinked . He had no retort to that statement .

"That said," Claire bent down and kissed his cheeks, "Thanks to you, I now feel that a burden has been taken away from me . No, literally . That seal was restricting me so much that it started to feel suffocating for me after a period of time . Do you know how hard was it for me to not even reveal my real name to you all?" Her eyes started to get misty as if she wanted to pour out all her grievances to him .

"Now I can teach you about the continent I was born in, teach you about higher cultivation states, teach you all I know without hiding anythi . . . "

"Shh," Davis closed her mouth with his hands, "You didn't hide anything from us mom . You were always there for us, and you always taught us anything you could reveal . So there's no need to feel guilty about it as it was all that seal's fault!"

He smirked as he took his hands back, "Why don't mom go visit dad and pour out your feelings to him?"

Claire nodded her head blankly as if she was lost in her own thoughts .

Davis knew that the one to be with his mother now should be his father . He felt that it should not be him nor anybody else for that matter .

He perfectly knew how much she loved him . After all, she even chose to stay behind instead of returning to her realm .

"Go on, I'll take care of Edward!" Davis said as he smiled sweetly .

Claire looked at him proudly and dashed to the exit of the room . In the blink of an eye, she disappeared from his view .

Davis thought as he laughed wryly, 'Heh! My mom's like a maiden in love! She must've really had a lot to say to father . '

. . .

Gradually, time passed as Davis started to play with Edward, who woke up .

After three hours, Edward played until he got tired and went back to sleep again while Davis sat there like a statue, still waiting for his mom .

'Could it be that mom forgot that I was waiting here?' He couldn't help but think because it has already been more than 3 hours since she left the room, plus there was no sign of her returning back .

"Kid . " A voice sounded out just when Davis thought whether if he should leave or not in order to search for her .

Davis frowned, "You should know that I'm not a kid, call me Davis . " Dissatisfied with the way it called him, he spoke outright .

It replied with a faint sneer, "Okay, Tian Long . "

A few moments passed in silence as Davis froze .

"Alright, you can call me whatever you want . " He had no way to win against this existence in a verbal argument .

"Haha, kid, to me, who had lived for over trillions of years, you are still an infant . Within the endless flow of time, I am alone for all eternity . Just be glad that I'm not calling you an infant!"

Davis was silent for a moment before he sneered, "You sure are arrogant!" He was not willing to take this insult without a fight .

"If I can't, then who can?" Came an arrogant reply that resounded like thunder in his mind .

He went speechless, "Okay~ I give up!"

"Come on! You're mine! At least give me some respect . " Davis asked helplessly .

As if it was mad at him, it continued, "You should continue to please me, kid . There's no saying when my mood will turn sour . At that time, you will be cruelly faced with my wrath!"

Davis grunted, "Even if you say that, how can I please you?"

"By devouring more souls!" It replied slowly .

David lifted up his brows, he expected that this was the case and was not surprised, "How many?"

"The quantity doesn't matter! The quality matters!" Thinking that the souls it devoured were not even able to erase five percent of the seal, it said hastily .

"Quality? Just when I thought that could I be free, I am now bound by your whims? This sucks!" He complained as if he was now imprisoned by it .

"You want to be free? Do you want freedom? In this world, death might be the only freedom you could attain . " The crisp voice creepily replied .

"Hey!? Don't jinx me!" He cried out hastily, the last thing he needed was for someone to raise a flag for his death .

"I won't deny that we are both benefiting from it, but there's a difference . The souls I helped you devour before indirectly was of my own will, but now you're asking me to hunt them down for you . It might be the same, but I am quite unwilling to do it for someone else . "

"You humans get attached to the weirdest concerns . . . It doesn't matter if you are going to do it for me or yourself, I just want to devour more souls . If you refuse, I'll simply separate from your soul and devour you . After all, I prefer to keep my existence as a secret!" There was no evilness in its tone, rather, it was as if it was merely stating a fact that was normal to it .

"Oh, I forgot to mention, but if you are devoured by me, you will not be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation . "

Davis gulped and realised that he was unconsciously treating this freak existence as his possession until now .
