Divine Emperor of Death

The wolf woman expressed her disbelief with her agape mouth, watching the human easily sever the head of the Magical Beast which had given them despair for decades. 

She watched the carcass in shock, feeling that she had been liberated from something.

She subconsciously moved her gaze to the male human and his carefree expression became visible to her pupils, turning to look at her with a grin on his lips.

"Well, I guess you all won't stop us from heading towards deep into the valley, will you?" 

Davis asked in a teasing tone.

He felt that if they further blocked him even after this show of force, then perhaps he would have to take ruthless action.

The female wolf leader pursed her lips and her expression possessed ounces of embarrassment and gratitude.

"We won't..."

She replied in a meek voice. Then realizing that she had subconsciously made herself look submissive, she gritted her teeth in further embarrassment.

Davis looked at her tantalizing and hot figure, wondering how a magical beast can be seemingly this desiring than most human women. He inwardly sighed and then looked over to the peak of the mountain before he opened his mouth.

"Do you know why the Crowned Violet-Winged Condor wanted your younglings rather than your aged meat?" 

Davis asked, causing the female wolf leader to frown because she didn't like the term aged meat. She became angered slightly but didn't reveal it, thinking that the human was just assuming.

"I don't see myself as old..." The female wolf leader wrinkled her nose, "Perhaps she has taken a liking to the supple meat of the younglings? It wasn't as if she didn't occasionally catch and ate our Grand Beast Stage Wolves..."

Davis didn't reply. He pondered for a few moments as Evelynn walked to his side. He then looked at the female wolf leader and asked, "Where does that Crowned Violet-Winged Condor usually stay?"

The female wolf leader pointed to the peak of the mountain which had the height of two hundred and fifteen kilometers, "Somewhere there..."

"You all never dared to go check?" Davis became amused.

The female wolf leader shook her head and stared at Davis in a complex light, "We did check once but the ones who went were eaten by her while I was pardoned. From then, the Crowned Violet-Winged Condor doesn't allow us to near her and she isn't the only foe we have to face..."

'Ah right, humans...' Davis recollected and didn't say anything.

There was nowhere for this wolf clan to escape. On one side, there were the humans and on the other, there was a multitude of territorial Magical Beast Species.

He imagined that this female wolf leader was likely afflicted with some type of survivor's guilt and other unstable emotions, making her unable to lead the pack properly. Their sadness became apparent after seeing them howl in sadness when he arrived anyway.

Heaving a sigh inwardly, he shot towards the peak along with Evelynn under the complicated gaze of the wold woman, and in a few minutes, they arrived at the peak but failed to see anything of relation that belonged to the Crowned Violet-Winged Condor other than its nest.

The rest relatively had large branches of trees intertwined, and a lot of soft stuff that formed a cozy bed but Davis nevertheless disliked the stench that came from the half-eaten carcasses and chipped on bones laying alongside the nest.

'Do Condors even form nests?' He inwardly thought but didn't ponder on it too much since he wasn't a zoologist or an avian specialist.

"There is nothing of concern here..." Evelynn too checked but failed to discover anything.

Davis nodded his head but then thought of something as he sent his soul sense towards the nest and it surprisingly passed below the nest after entering a quagmire-like composition that temporarily restricted his soul sense but failed to entirely! 

His soul sense instantly formed the outline of a narrow cave entrance that led into the mountains. He stopped and didn't let it in further, cautious that he would attract some kind of existence.

"There is a cave below." 

Davis grinned and waved his arm causing Evelynn to widen her eyes in surprise. His translucent soul force cleared a large portion of the nest that stretched to five meters in depth her and formed a hole in the middle, giving them space to enter.

"Do you want to stay here or follow me?" He looked at Evelynn and asked.

Evelynn eyed at him as she raised her brows.

"Follow of course..." 

Davis replied with a smile and flew into the mountain cave followed by Evelynn.

They only traveled a kilometer inside the narrow pathway before they finally arrived in a rather spacious environment. The walls over here looked as if they had been carved by claws and there was an unbearable stench that emanated around the corner.

In fact, Davis and Evelynn already smelt the stench when they were hallway into the narrow cave and once the arrived at the spacious environment that rather had a perimeter of five hundred meters, they were rather stumped.

*Squeak~* *Squeak~* *Squeak~*

Evelynn widened her eyes in shock and looked at the little Crowned Violet-Winged Condors squeak. There were over five of those infant Crowned Violet-Winged Condors but one looked like a variant that looked vastly different from the other infants.

Meanwhile, Davis who already had a hunch that it would be like this since the female Crowned Violet-Winged Condor targeted younglings when its appetite should require higher stage Magical Beasts to enrich its growth.

However, he was surprised to find an enormous avian species Magical Beast, lay over the corner in all silence.

It looked nothing like the Crowned Violet-Winged Condor with its wings covered in red and black plumage. It's feathers looked extremely soft but in addition to its natural color, its entire body was bloodied and dry.

Davis instantly found where the stench came from inside the cave. It was from this heavily injured Avian Species Magical Beast which he had no idea about.

Davis walked and moved to the other side to look at the Magical Beast and saw that it was still alive but the moment he looked at its severed wing and its missing beak along with an eye, he knew that it was good as dead.

The Magical Beast seemed to didn't have energy left to move. 

Davis was already sure that it had detected them but he didn't know why it still hadn't made a move. He walked a little bit over to it closer, intending to probe but a male voice echoed, freezing him in his tracks.

"Is she dead?" 

Davis blinked and then before he could answer, the male voice continued.

"The fact that you are here perhaps already means that she is dead..."

"Indeed, if it is the Crowned Violet-Winged Condor you're talking about, then I killed her..." Davis casually answered.

He then saw the Magical Beast incline his head and look at him with one of those sharp eyes, with the other pitch black showcasing empty sockets.

The Magical Beast stared at him for a while as his sharp beaks looked a little curved. He let out a sigh and looked at the younglings that were squeaking all day long, "Can you not kill them?"

Davis laughed.

"Why would I kill those younglings? They will fetch me an enormous price in the Magical Beast Mount markets if I sold them..."

The Magical Beast became silent. Then he sighed again after a few moments, "At least, they get to live..."

'Interesting...' Davis inwardly mused as he looked at the condor-like Magical Beast in curiosity.
