Divine Emperor of Death

"Master, the clear sky is so beautiful..." Nadia voiced out with a bit of emotion as he watched the empty day sky. The smell of the ocean further stirred her senses, making her take a deep breath of the ocean air.

"Right?" Davis lightly smiled.

Nadia nodded her head before she turned to look at Davis, an aggrieved light flashing past her eyes, "Master, why didn't you let me out to kill that impudent magical sea-beast? There was no need for master to have wasted precious energy on it."

"Ahahaha~" Davis laughed, "Nadia, I need to train myself. If I let you out to take care of a mere Seventh Stage Magical Beast, then there is no point in me sneaking out to train..."

"Oh..." Nadia became taken aback, appearing abnormally cute as she had her mouth slightly agape.

Davis blinked before he turned to look towards the sea as he steered the boat in the right direction, taking a detour.

"As I said, Nadia. I have sneaked out, so I didn't let you out for a while since your aura... uh... your beauty is conspicuous, but after coming this far, I muse that there would only be a few who could recognize us."

"Although the destination we are heading towards remains occupied by the Alstreim Family and regularly frequented by these young elites and Elders to gain resources, I doubt that they would come out at this time. After all, most of the young elites, Elders and Grand Elders of the Alstreim Family have fortified themselves in the Grand Alstreim City and other cities."

"So in the Grand Alstreim Ocean, only a few scouts must exist, and even if there are a few spies from the Yantra Family, we can probably spot them before they spot us with our sharp senses."

"Don't worry, Master! Whoever bares their fangs against us, I'll kill them without making a sound!" Nadia raised her fists and clenched her teeth as if baring her fangs.

"Haha..." Davis chuckled as he reached out his hand and patted her head, "With you here, it's more reassuring..."

"Hehe..." Nadia chuckled as she lowered her head. However, her smile slowly faded before turning into a rueful smile.

'Perhaps, I won't be needed after this so-called training session... Master grows too soon in cultivation for a human...'

"That's right, Nadia. Your cultivation had also stagnated for a while in the Low-Level King Beast Stage. Take this spatial ring and use it..." Davis uttered as he passed a Low-Level King Grade Spatial Ring to her.

Nadia blinked, her eyes fluttering as she tilted her head in curiosity. She didn't take it, "What is this, Master?"

"Just a few thousand Peak-Level Spirit Stones..." Davis smiled and pushed it towards her, "Don't be shy. I'm strengthening you for my own safety as well..."

Nadia blinked once again as she pursed her lips.

Peak-Level Spirit Stones were useful for her, for all magical beasts. Absorbing the energy in them will allow their bodies to grow. Furthermore, it is better if the Spirit Stone's attribute coincided with their own as there would be benefits like having their innate laws improved and sharpened.

Thinking like this, Nadia lightly nodded her head and took the spatial ring from her master's hand and bound it to herself. When she sent her senses into it, she narrowed her eyes.

"A few thousand...? There's at least ten thousand.... no, it amounts to a hundred thousand Peak-Level Spirit Stones!" Nadia was taken aback before she shrieked.

Nadia's fingers trembled as she had the spatial ring worn on her index finger. She had never seen a huge amount of High-Level Spirit Stones before, much less a hundred thousand Peak-Level Spirit Stones. However, with that King-Tier arrogance of hers, she was quickly able to calm down.

Davis chuckled on watching her reaction.

He possessed only about ninety-two Peak-Level Spirit Stones with him, but after his grandfather obtained half the portion of Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim and Grand Elder Elise Alstreim's wealth, his family quickly became rich.

The value of the assets amounted to thirty-five million Peak-Level Spirit Stones, but only ten percent of it was available in the form of Spirit Stones, and in that, only two million was in Peak-Level Spirit Stones while the remaining one and a half million Peak-Level Spirit Stones were in the denomination of millions of High-Level Spirit Stones, billions of Mid-Level Spirit Stones and trillions of Low-Level Spirit Stones!

This amount made him dizzy when he first received it in his palm and made him think that it was worth it to follow his mother to the Alstreim Family. He had helped his mother obtain revenge and gained allies, but he didn't know if they are all trustworthy. Nevertheless, they were slowly proving that they could be trusted with their actions.

Edgar Alstreim seemed to have given all the Spirit Stones all to Claire, who then gave it all to him. Davis didn't object, but he left them with one million Peak-Level Spirit Stones to run the businesses and organizations that now belonged to them.

Therefore, he was now more or less in possession of a million Peak-Level Spirit Stones, five hundred million High-Level Spirit Stones, five hundred billion High-Level Spirit Stones, and five hundred trillion Low-Level Spirit Stone!

To put it into numbers... he held around 1,000,000 Peak-Level Spirit Stones, 500,000,000 High-Level Spirit Stones, 500,000,000,000 Mid-Level Spirit Stones, and 500,000,000,000,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones!

The previous amount he held seemed so small that he didn't even want it to take into account when counting anymore, so he gave it all to Evelynn and Natalya, telling them to spend however they wanted to right before he left. He felt that he was the least he could do as a wealthy man.

And at this moment, Davis gave a hundred thousand Peak-Level Spirit Stones to Nadia, wanting her to refine the energy in them to grow into a Peak-Level King Beast Stage Beast!

Magical Beasts can grow fast to their innate peak as long as they possess resources, hence the term 'magical' in their race name. Unlike humans and their talents, the magical beasts only needed a bit of time to cross their bottlenecks because their bloodline allows them to bypass any bottlenecks. However, the same bloodline also causes them to stagnate after reaching their innate peak.

It helped them quickly grow, inherently learn techniques but screwed them over at the last if they are unable to mutate. It swiftly helped them grow but also limited their growth. Their bloodline was like a double-edged sword that they were born with, but that is what the magical beasts are proud of, at least until they meet their superior bloodline of the same species!

In terms of bloodline and mutation, Nadia was born a Sunset Mountain Wolf and had already mutated twice. Her first mutation was to the Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolf, which changed her body to darkness-attribute. Her second mutation was when the nectar's effects helped her mutate into a Dark-Winged Twilight Wolf upon her breakthrough into the King Beast Stage.

Nadia was thankful and deeply grateful to Davis for helping her become strong, but she had already lost hope that she would have any more chances to mutate. After all, she had already mutated twice, which unmistakably appeared like a miracle to her.

She was originally an ordinary Earth Rank Species Magical Beast, but not only did she mutate twice, becoming a King Rank Species Magical Beast, but she also managed to become a King-Tier Magical Beast!

That is why...

"I will serve till there is no longer a breath left in me, Master!" Nadia's melodious voice echoed while she clenched her fist, and a determined glint shone in her eyes.

"No need to mention that, Nadia. I know your loyalty towards me." Davis uttered before he saw a stormy region in the sea again. He steered away with the flying boat and took a detour again.

Fortunately, it appeared in front of his sight before it formed with him around the center.

Nadia curiously watched the stormy region as they flew past it. She didn't hide her King Beast Stage undulations, so no magical sea-beast tried to attack them, knowing that there was a higher existence that they could not hope to offend.

"Master, what is happening to the weather around this ocean...?"

"How am I supposed to know? Ask the heavens..." Davis smirked as he sat back on the deck.

"You too be seated, Nadia..."

"Yes, Master!" Nadia obediently sat down. She didn't fold her legs into a lotus position but sat down casually with her long legs stretched out to the side with one of her hands on the ground for support.

Davis blinked.

If she lied down and rested her hand on the ground while supporting her chin, it would be an open and inviting pose, like a model lying on the ground to take a sexy photo.

'Damn, I'm becoming strangely conscious of her beauty...'

'But oh well... I would not be a man if I were not conscious of such a beautiful woman who keeps calling me master, master...' He inwardly sighed.

The two then stayed silent as the flying boat seamlessly traveled in the safe airstream zone.

Many times, Davis was impeded by the arising storms, but no magical beasts attacked him due to Nadia's presence. An hour later, he finally arrived at the destination.

Nadia's pupils dilated while Davis's eyes widened.

*Rumble!~~~~*

*Rumble!~~~~*

The entire atmosphere turned gloomy as dark clouds covered the skies. Thunder reverberated like crazy, and lightning crashed down on the high-ground, low-ground, and the sea without a visible stop!

"Is that a bunch of islands below the sea of thunder and lightning...?" Nadia's lips quivered as she looked at the scenery before glancing down. She had already stood up, standing on the edge of the boat.

"That's right." Davis stood up and walked towards her, "These islands are one of the many natural training areas of the Alstreim Family. These islands have individual names, but collectively, they are known as the..."

Davis's lips curved into a satisfied smirk, "The Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago! One of the two great danger zones of the Alstreim Family Territory!"
