Divine Emperor of Death

Fiora knew that if one tried, then that lone person would be crushed by the numerous members of the said family.

That's why most men form a family, prioritizing quantity over quality once they reach the top of their strength and visible potential.

The four men walked past the gates and got closer to Fiora when suddenly a black-robed figure stood in front of her.

Fiora got startled, wasn't this the masked woman that she spoke with?

"What's the meaning of this?" Milos furrowed his brows as he asked, the energy revolving around his body creating a thin form of a shield. The others also followed suit and increased their defenses.

Davis sighed again as he spoke, "I would've preferred them to get closer but this does as well..."

'Soul Suppression Art!' Davis thought in his mind as he cast the technique.

*Boom!~*

The pressure from his soul force immediately took the four men off-guard, causing them to lose their balance as they all plummeted to the ground. 

Their energies dispersed as they were all unable to muster any form of resistance and had an expression of horror on their faces.

The pressure utterly caused them to be unable to move, and lose all hope. They weren't even able to let out a voice as they tried their best to not lose consciousness.

Such is the power of a soul when it has far outclassed the souls it is facing. It was literally an example of an higher being bringing a lower being under its control.

Davis glanced at Fiora as he asked, "If I remember correctly, didn't the city rules state that one can kill outsiders in their residence for trespassing?"

Fiora had already been frozen stiff. Even without having faced with the brunt of the pressure, she could sense it all the same.

In her fear, she tremblingly thought before she answered, "Yes..."

Davis smiled lightly when she saw her tremble in fear. Actually, he had already learned of the city rules two weeks ago. After all, he had faced an assassination at that time.

The four men on hearing what he said, trembled like pigs that were about to get butchered!

"Shall I kill them?" Davis questioned once again, his voice resounding to both the sisters.

Fiora nodded her head without the slightest hesitation, there was only hate in her eyes as she failed to consider them as blood relatives.

Natalya also nodded her head after a moment of hesitation.

Davis was surprised by both the sisters.

One was ruthless in her decision while the other, even though soft, was resolute.

He was most surprised at Natalya because he knew that she was a pushover, basically a softy.

He could see that the drastic changes that happened in these two months in her life had changed her a lot from the first time they met. After all, she had pissed herself from fear when Davis released his battle aura at that time.

Now, she could even nod her head at the prospect of killing her own blood relatives.

Davis looked at her in satisfaction. If his blood relatives were like this, then he wouldn't mind killing them off either.

He didn't do anything other than turning back and walking off into the residence.

Seeing that, the two sisters were perplexed.

'Did he decide not to kill?' Such thoughts were running in their heads.

A few seconds passed but they suddenly realized that the people who were struggling to get up, suddenly go stiff as they stopped trembling.

Both of them opened their mouths in fright as they had no idea of how he killed them. They looked in the direction of the residence and found that he was nowhere to be seen.

They realized that his killing methods were related to his Soul Forging Cultivation and their reverence and fear towards him only increased when they assumed that it was the case.

It was especially so for Natalya. She now held utmost respect and reverence for him.

After all, he had saved his sister without even asking anything of her. She felt so immensely grateful for his help.

Davis directly dispersed their souls with Fallen Heaven as he was disinclined to use any more effort to kill them.

As he went back into the residence, he thought of continuing with his cultivation but remembered that there were corpses in the courtyard.

He was partially worried that the guards might somehow realize but when he extended his Soul Sense, he saw Natalya storing up their corpses in her spatial ring.

Davis satisfactorily nodded at her action and looked at the injured Fiora.

"Invite her to the house if you want to treat her injuries. If your identity is found out then I will ask you to leave." Davis sent Natalya a Soul Transmission.

When Natalya heard it, her face turned complicated, thinking that the person known to her as Scythe was nice to her.

When she heard the latter part of the Soul Transmission, she felt that it was only right as she was the one who was imposing herself on his kindness.

Davis simply returned to restoring his half-empty soul force. Actually, he wanted to hear Fiora's part of the story to unravel what had happened to Natalya and this seemed like the best circumstance to naturally ask about it from her.

He asked Natalya to treat her so that he could later listen to her part of the story.

"Stand up and follow me, we'll treat your injuries inside the house since the master has recognized you as a guest..." Natalya coldly uttered after she finished calming down her emotions.

She wanted to let Fiora know that her elder sister was here, standing right in front of her with the flow of things, but Davis's latter half of the message made her change her mind.

Additionally, she once again remembered what Davis said to her long ago, that something was wrong with what had happened to her. To this, she had her own doubts as well after pondering on it over a lot this month.
