Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 199



Chapter 199

Normally, Magical Beast tides wouldn't happen unless they were maddened or being commanded by a higher stage magical beast .

If both of the above weren't true, then there must be a reason for the slaughter they conducted .

The Five-Clawed Rat Elder glanced at a direction causing Davis's head to turn . There, he saw a few rat corpses and half-bitten human corpses .

The rats, one of them being bigger than a horse, while the other the size of a normal horse like the other Five-Clawed Rats . There were also four baby rat corpses beside the former corpses .

Davis's eyes narrowed into two slits . He was astonished to see the six claws on the body of the rat which was bigger than a horse, 'A Six-Clawed Rat! An Earth Rank Magical Beast!'

Different from the Mortal Rank Magical Beasts which were shackled by their bloodlines, the Earth Rank Magical Beasts can take demi-human form once they step into the Spirit Beast Stage .

Not only that but their strength was higher than ordinary Mortal Rank Magical Beasts .

Davis sucked in a cold breath of air .

It was his first time seeing one yet it was already dead .

He glanced at the baby rats and also found six claws on them .

Looking at the sword marks on their lifeless bodies, he understood what had happened .

'That Town Lord sure was the perpetrator!' Davis cursed in his mind .

His mind made an assumption and was subjectively recreating the scene that happened here with the shreds of evidence left here .

Some men waved their swords at the Six-Clawed Rat and its mate, managing to kill them off with heavy injuries while running off with one or two Six-Clawed Rat babies or even none .

Davis closed his eyes, he had a vague idea about what caused this tragedy .

The sad part about this was that this might not even seem like a tragedy to the eyes of the Empire which governed this town .

An Earth Rank Magical Beast child can grow up into an adult, being able to challenge Sixth Stage Cultivators when fully matured .

And to the Empire, it was undoubtedly an accumulation on their part, gaining two Earth Grade Magical Beasts that will eventually grow up to the Sixth Stage .

Two Earth Grade Magical Beasts for a single town? From their viewpoint, although it would be a pity, it would unquestionably be worth it .

The old rat's flashed a gaze of grievance at him before it hatefully charged at him, its eyes clouded with vengeance .

Davis said nothing but took out his spear .

'Humans and you could no longer under the same sky . . . ' Davis let out a sigh as he thought and used an explosive step to near it .

He activated Absolute Enhancement and Tyrant Aura Amplification before engaging in a battle that would undoubtedly end in the death of one or the other .

Spear and the claws clashed, giving off a metal piercing sound that echoed throughout the underground cave .

Davis gritted his teeth as he fought . Each one of its attacks was heavily suppressive and made him fall back . He could see that he was unmistakably outclassed by its Peak-Level Spirit Beast Stage strength .

It frenziedly attacked him, making him use all of his strength to keep it from shredding his body to pieces .

'Berserk Change!'

His aura immediately underwent a qualitative change, making him able to struggle equally without being pushed back .

He didn't try any nimble maneuvers or underhanded attacks as he simply put out with it using his brute force .

Clashing sounds echoed out for a while before the cave was filled with the Five-Clawed Rat Elder's shrieks of despair .

Its claws were utterly ruined and its body was trembling from being stabbed at its throat, held at high ground .

The cries stopped a few moments later, prompting him to remove the spear that was lodged in its throat, its blood leaking as if a tap had been opened .

His eyes narrowed when he caught the chipped yet bloodied spear . It was partially broken but it seemed that it can be still used against Sky Beast Stage Magical Beasts .

'Sigh . . . I have to get a new weapon . ' Thinking of his spear, he collected the remains present in the cave, including the Five-Clawed Rat Elder's Soul Essence .

He once more released his Soul Sense, afraid that he might have missed some Five-Clawed Rats .

'Hmm? Another Cloud Spring Mercenary group is on their way to this place . . . ' He observed before deciding to go back without using his concealing technique .

He flew above the cave surface and went back into the tunnel hole, starting to walk simply in a carefree manner .

He popped an energy recovering pill in his mouth, gradually circulating the contents of the pill in his body . He could feel his diminished energy recovering back at a rather normal pace .

'I'll have to increase my Body Tempering Cultivation . The time I used to remain at this level should be enough and besides, I can feel that my foundation is almost perfect with no or fewer defects . . . ' He closed and opened his palm, relieving the feeling of numbing sensation from his palms .

It was a difficult battle that left his hands numb and his body sore . He certainly didn't want to experience another battle in this short period of time .

Soon, he could hear hurried footsteps coming from the tunnel pathway in front of him .

Not long after, the group arrived before him and scrutinizingly gazed at him .

"You . . . are also a member of our Cloud Spring Mercenaries? Who are you? We have never seen you before . . . " Vass calmly questioned .

Davis glanced at the group consisting of twenty people . His eyes calmly swept over them before he glanced at the peculiar man, Kron .

Kron was the only man who reacted to his soul sense twice . The first time he swept his Soul Sense, he only thought it off as a coincidence but after the second time, he thought otherwise .

The reason he didn't use his concealing technique was because of this man .

He only glanced at him for a second before a shout echoed out which felt jarring to his ears, "Hey! Are you deaf!? My Boss is speaking to you!"

The lackey promptly stood out, eager to lick his boss's ass .

Davis turned his gaze to Vass before throwing a badge to him .

Vass caught it and checked it while a voice echoed out, "Davis, new recruit . . . "

"A warrior already? At this age? Certainly rare . . . " Vass muttered and his eyes glowed with the fervor of wanting to recruit this talent .

"Davis, is it? Become my subordinate, and you'll have access to even greater cultivation resources . . . " Vass casually spoke, confident that he could recruit him .

After all, he was the son of Vice-Leader Jawan; secretly .
