Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 274

Davis opened his eyes as he felt refreshed . He had slept for 5 days straight and was covered in sweat from the exhaustion .

He took a bath and came out even more refreshed in terms of physical appearance . Right now, he was already 17 years old and this left him a profound impression that he had grown up into a man who was ready to have a family .

Letting out a chuckle, he ruefully smiled at his thoughts . Who was he kidding? He was already mentally older in terms of age .

He looked at the giant square-shaped mirror placed in his room and saw his unkempt figure . He rubbed his chin and looked at his sapphire eyes that shone like a jewel .

His eyes went red after activating the Death God Eyes . He tried to look at his lifespan but couldn't see anything so he blinked and his sapphire eyes were once again in his view .

He ran his fingers over his blonde wavy hair as he found it smooth and silky . His soul force did the work for him as it straightened out the strands of hair on his head .

Looking at his long hair that reached till his waist, sharp energy formed and cut the hair, making it reach till the location of his chest as the remaining hair fell on the ground .

Satisfied, he looked at his slightly broad shoulders and checked out his abs and muscles, quietly appreciating his body tone in the process .

His height reached 5'10" and he was sure that within a few years, he would be more or less 6' as he mused that his growth potential in terms of height was all exhausted by cultivating the Body Tempering Cultivation System .

Davis sighed and eventually thought of the to-do list in his head .

In the upcoming auctions, he was planning on buying a Low-Level Spirit Stone Core and plant it in the Second Layer to bring back the resources of spirit stones again .

At least, that was his plan if it was available in the first place because, half a year ago, he controlled that young man who tried to give him 'VIP service' at the time of the underground auction and poisoned everyone who worked with him .

The young man poisoned those low-level members of the underground auction, even managing to poison the mid-level members through poisoning the banquet that took place secretly for them .

The underground auction found the young man responsible and executed him but wasn't able to find the intent behind his actions .

In the underground network, this became an event that can be considered not so big but not so small either since they couldn't seem to find the perpetrator of the incident .

The underground auction went silent and hadn't made any moves, even now . The others all mused that it wouldn't be opening any time soon .

Other than that, Davis decided it was time he left this place and explored the wilderness in search of Grand Beast Stage Magical Beasts and above .

He could absorb the souls of humans but it would prove to be difficult since there are experts in the capital who are capable of eluding his Soul Sense .

So he took his chances in the wilderness where there might be high-risk of danger but low-risk of being chased to the ends of the world .

Since it was time, he decided to leave this place in Natalya's care .

In the courtyard, he stood in front of her and opened his mouth, "It's time, I'm leaving . . . "

Natalya nodded her head, incomparably sad but suddenly she had a selfish thought, "Mister Scythe, can you help me one last time?"

Davis furrowed his brows, "What help?"

"Since you're leaving tomorrow, I will also leave to the city my little sister mentioned . I need to buy formations and stock up on resources to fortify my parent's new residence . . . "

"What, you need spirit stones?" Davis smiled, momentarily thinking that she was a greedy woman .

"Ah, no . I still have 89,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones out of the 100,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones you gave me . . . "

"Then what?" Davis turned confused .

"It's just that, can I have Mister Scythe accompany me to buy those things I mentioned before . . . It will be helpful a lot since I won't get robbed and killed in the process . " Natalya blushed as she grinned .

Both of them wore the same old masks, so both their expressions were hidden .

Davis thought that he was quite famous around the surrounding areas, so he thought, 'Why not?'

"Alright, since you have helped me the entire year, I'll naturally repay you back . . . "

"Ah no! You've been already generous and gave me 100,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones . If I were to take this to my family, it would help us ensure the survival and growth of ourselves . . . " Natalya uttered in a soft voice with a kind smile on her face .

It was too bad that Davis couldn't see it, otherwise, his heart would have definitely skipped a beat from her sweet and caring attitude .

Although he couldn't see her expression, he could still hear her heartfelt voice .

He became slightly embarrassed as he said, "You already used 11,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones for me, here keep this . "

Saying so, he gave her 11,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones without giving her the chance to refuse .

Natalya hesitated and wanted to decline but when she ultimately thought of her family, she decided to accept it .

'More Spirit Stones are always welcome!' Natalya inwardly said to herself when she thought of her family situation .

Davis smiled, and after some time, they left together towards the various plazas, filled with marketplaces .

They bought various kinds of formations that could be set up in a residence .

Concealment Formations!

Protective Formations!

Offensive Formations!

Soul Sense Deflection Formations!

Almost all of them were Peak-Level Earth Grade Formations and only some were Low-Level Sky Grade Formations .

It was only smooth sailing when the sellers recognized that it was Mister Scythe, the Mid-Level Sky Grade Alchemist .

It didn't cost too much, ending their shopping spree with a bill of 15,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones for Natalya . Of course, it was different for Davis as he too bought some with his own wealth .

Natalya smiled widely when she thought any one of three offensive formations she bought could kill people with strength comparable to her easily .

With this, she was confident that she could help protect her family in case of a crisis .

But at the end of the day, she was so sad that she wanted to cry her heart out, spilling out the feelings that she had stored in her heart for too long .

Ultimately, she didn't .

She knew that she was nowhere near close in terms of talent and status to him . She said that she would have to clear her debt when she mentioned that she would follow him but he shot her down by saying that she already had cleared the debt for helping him for a year .

With all that, plus her inferiority complex, she wasn't able to tell her true feelings even in the final moments as Davis slowly disappeared from her sight after a dinner of farewell .

She could only let go . . .

That was her last memory of this person, at least until the time she . . .
