Divine Emperor of Death

Bylai Zlatan trembled underneath the heavy gazes cast on her before she shot a wide smile.

"When I asked why, the Emperor of Death said: In any case, if you keep following my words and accumulate achievements that negate your family's wrongdoings that you decided to take upon yourself, you will eventually have your freedom. And yes, you can try to do something funny. However, I won't tolerate your existence anymore and extinguish your soul."

She tried to imitate his voice, sounding solemn and rough. However, a faint smile appeared on her face after she finished.

"Like, how kind one must be to tolerate the things my Zlatan Family had tried to do them?"

She shook her head, "I waited, and waited, believing that it was all a farce, but the punishments never came, nor was I humiliated. More than anything, why am I still a virgin!?"

Bylai Zlatan spread her hands as if being exasperated, but abruptly, her golden robe began to glow with a resplendent light, shining white, radiating a pure aura that caused the people to feel her innocence.

"The Karmic Robe of Purity?"

Some people couldn't help but become shocked as they recognized the robe.

It was used in marriages, designed to check the chastity of the bride and groom, although it was used for the former more.

From the pure light radiated by the Karmic Robe of Purity, they could see that Bylai Zlatan was still chaste.

"Hehe…"

Bylai Zlatan's wry laughter rang out at this moment.

"The Emperor of Death's a hopeless womanizer who'll lust after your beauties? He dared to publicly humiliate the Young Palace Master of the Glorious Pill Palace, and he'll come for you next? He brought a wicked path mistress into the competition and is going to bring the entire wicked path here next? No one is safe from this evil scourge?"

"While they stayed silent, such statements went round and round as I listened with my soul sense."

*Clang!~*

Anger was visible on Bylai Zlatan's face as she lashed out, waving her hand as an intense metallic ring rang out as she hit the air.

"Don't be ridiculous! I know for a fact that the Emperor of Death has a way to remove the entrapment hex placed on me and yet doesn't have one bit of lust towards me! Or else, I, the Dragon Queen of the Zlatan Family, would've been taken long back! What else do I need to say to those stupid statements!?"

Bylai Zlatan clenched her fists as her body trembled, her enraged gaze shooting towards a few people who cowered in fear as they knew they had been caught saying those words by her.

"The Emperor of Death is anything but a calamity, yet, you're all trying to make him one!"

She declared, holding her fist from flailing out as she held her hand, even tears somewhat emerging in her limpid golden eyes.

Back then, she had learned that Yotan had been implanted with the same hex, yet it was removed from her by the Emperor of Death. When she had learned about that, she had been so mad, but then, hearing that Yotan was still innocent and hadn't been taken, she was able to let go of that matter.

But still, all this time, she thought the reason why the Emperor of Death didn't touch was because of that entrapment hex but to think that he could remove it with ease. Her sanity had cracked, making her think: was she just not enough? Was she worse than the others, even Zestria?

Her pride had taken a huge hit, almost giving her a heart demon. Perhaps, it had already formed, and that's why she was doing this.

Taking a deep breath, she tried to stop her trembling. Raising her hand, she brazenly pointed towards someone who turned out to be the Emperor of Death.

"To such a kind person, I only have six words to say." Bylai Zlatan's gaze was teary and heartfelt, "I have fallen for you, Davis."

"…!?"

The crowd became shocked by her declaration.

However, Bylai Zlatan's expression became wry as she put her hand down.

"Perhaps, you'll at least punish me for blatantly calling your name, master, and then, I can feel at peace, at least having experienced a solid punishment for the wrongs my family committed against you."

"Return."

Davis's voice was icy, and Bylai Zlatan shuddered on hearing that as she lowered her head. Her lips quivered before she snapped her fingers, causing the chains to break.

However, her four opponents had already fainted, leaving her the sole winner of the battle.

While she had been flailing around, they were the ones to receive the brunt of it as the chains tightened and almost snapped them apart, and most people didn't even notice, busy listening to her declaration.

Bylai Zlatan flew without saying anything and returned to the Alstreim Family's seating area when Zestria appeared and took her to the resting room amidst the gazes of many.

Davis didn't look at them, nor did he command Zestria to take her as he mused that it was something done out of her own will.

His expression was complex as he really did hear vile things about him being passed around, but people were people. What could he do?

He only let out a gentle sigh, unable to understand Bylai Zlatan's true intent with this big dramatic undertaking. No, it was better to say that he didn't want to believe that there could be such a woman, in such a low position, to speak up for him. The next second, he sensed two figures behind him and turned to look at them, gazing at Evelynn and Isabella.

"Did you two put her up to this?" He asked with a soul transmission.

"Well," Isabella pursed her lips with a faint smile on her face, "I won't deny responsibility, but all I said to her was go pour your feeling out and perhaps, that might change something, and then, she requested me that karmic robe, which I more or less thought that she was going to prove that she was innocent and plead to attain your favor but to think that she painted your degrading image in pure white… I didn't think that she would go that far to care about your reputation than care about herself."

"After all, with this, she essentially became a joke…"

Isabella narrowed her eyes as she couldn't help but feel a hint of respect for Bylai Zlatan. Not many prideful women would dare to make a fool out of themselves in public like that.

"A joke?" However, Evelynn seemed to be of a different opinion, "Then why do I sense envy from the eyes of the women gathered in this New Era Battle Arena? Besides, the men are mad with hearing that she was still innocent but wanted to still give it up to Davis, appearing deeply jealous."

It had to be said that there were many suitors for Bylai Zlatan. They have had seen her during competitions, expeditions, or even random outings and such and formally sent marriage requests to the Zlatan Family, but the Zlatan Family remained obstinate and wanted to marry Bylai Zlatan within their own to retain their bloodline.

Most of these men were from other Dragon Families or had other magical beast blood within them. But now, to see their absolute crush give herself up to Davis like that without any shame, their blood was boiling with fury.

Hearing their opinions, Davis's expression became more complex yet moved. Bylai Zlatan's words not only sent waves in his heart but also made many people look at the Emperor of Death in a different light.

Maybe, he wasn't so unscrupulous as they thought he was?
