Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 58

Logan, who returned with his entourage, floated above the Royal Castle .

The first thing he did was not return but extended his Soul Sense to scan around the Royal Castle for any abnormalities .

He saw Claire together with Diana and Edward in her room, Clara cultivating alone in her room and Davis in his Study with Ellia .

Seeing that there were no abnormalities, he removed his Soul Sense and relaxed but frowned .

"Hmm? The Cultivation Technique that Davis's maid trains in resembles the Extinction Lightning Judgement . *sigh* What on earth is he thinking?" But he soon sighed .

Then he entered the Royal Castle through the entrance as many greeted him as he walked past them like an Emperor .

He straight away headed for the Throne Hall as the master of ceremonies announced the return of the Emperor . It echoed throughout the Royal Castle like thunder .

Claire, Clara, Davis and all who heard that, headed to the Throne Hall .

Seeing that his family and his subordinates all came to pay respects to him, he nodded his head .

The Royal family can be cosy all they want in an informal occasion, but in a formal occasion such as this, they have to give their respects and be formal to their Emperor .

Logan exchanged a few pleasantries with his subordinates as few minutes passed by . Suddenly, a guard came running in the Throne Hall with hurried steps .

The guard then hurriedly reported .

"Emperor! A black-robed man with unknown origins claims to know where the traitors of the rebellion are! He currently is in front of the entrance of our Royal Castle awaiting your majesty's permission!"

"Hmm? Let him in!" Logan's eyes glowed . He couldn't wait to finish off those two bastards .

"Yes!" The guard hurriedly relayed to the people below .

After a few minutes, a black-robed man walked into the throne room with calm steps, he then bowed .

"Who are you? And do you know the whereabouts of those two traitors?" Hendrickson asked the black-robed man with an interrogative expression .

The black robed man didn't say anything but just waved his hand .

*Thud*

A corpse with a hole in its chest suddenly fell on the floor of the Royal Castle .

Immediately, everyone was alarmed and extended their perception to the corpse .

Logan also extended his perception over to the corpse but refrained from probing the black-robed man as it would be considered rude .

"This . . this is Cooper Hawkwood!" Hendrickson shouted . Everyone's eyes went wide including Logan .

Hendrickson was just about to ask a few questions when suddenly Davis approached the black-robed man .

Seeing Davis approach the black-robed man, he immediately probed the black-robed man with his Soul Sense as he couldn't care less about being rude anymore .

Just when he probed, the black-robed man suddenly moved and rushed to where Davis was .

Davis who saw that quickly moved back as guards near him hurriedly rushed to defend him .

"Case! You bastard! You dare?" Logan's eyes went wide as he shouted in fury and hurriedly cast a soul attack .

Swirling currents of bright ocean quickly submerged Case as he shouted in agony . His soul was ground by swirling currents of sharp needles as he collapsed . It didn't even take a few seconds for him to die .

What Logan used was the Fourth Layer Technique of the Sacred Luminance Mist, Celestial Needle Ocean . It is a highly destructive technique which can even pierce through soul defences to attack the soul of a person . It is also used as an area of effect attack, used to attack multiple opponents at the same time .

But it was slower than the Second Layer Technique of the Sacred Luminance Mist, Sacred Piercing Lance .

Although it was slow, Logan wasn't sure if his Sacred Piercing Lance can kill him in one hit, so he used the Celestial Needle Ocean for a sure hit kill . And fortunately, it was successful since the distance between the two of them was small .

Logan heaved a sigh of relief .

"I can't believe that he used his own comrade as a means to delay our reaction as he planned to abduct or kill Davis . " Claire who was beside Davis said with a serious expression . She felt as if she had failed her duties to protect her children .

"Fortunately, he failed . " Logan sighed .

"Davis, why did you go closer to him? Didn't you think that it could be dangerous?" Logan asked with a questioning gaze .

"Hmm? I felt his gaze on me after he took out the corpse, so I moved closer to investigate him . He suddenly attacked me but don't worry, I was cautious the whole time, that's why I quickly pulled back . "

"I know, don't try to do something so stupid later!" Claire said as she berated Davis .

"Alright, Mom . "

Logan and Claire then moved to take care of the matter of those two corpses .

Clara who was there, couldn't detect any lies from her brother, so she gazed at those two corpses curiously .

Davis who was alone slowly looked down and grinned secretly .

'Just as planned!'

This whole scenario was orchestrated by him but he didn't think it would go this well .

Before Davis returned to the Royal Castle, he instructed Case to do as he said and it worked without a hitch . He ordered him to come to the Royal Castle seeking an audience with the Emperor using a certain information when he notices the Emperor return to the Royal Castle .

Case Farnwen, who was on the lookout the whole time, noticed the commotion in the Royal Castle and made his move . He then did what Davis instructed him to do one by one .

When arriving at the entrance of the Royal Castle, he was ordered to say that he had information on those two traitors and request an audience with the Emperor . Then he was ordered to wait for the permission of the Emperor to go inside the Royal Castle . Next, when he was in the Throne Room, he was ordered to throw out Cooper's corpse and gaze at a little boy when someone asked him a question . Finally, he was then ordered to attack the little boy when he sees one approaching him, which ultimately led to his death .

Davis did all this because he wanted his father to be the one to avenge his deceased family so that his father could let go of a burden in his heart .
