Divine Emperor of Death-Novel

Schleya returned to the Alstreim Family's seating area, but this time, she didn't go see Davis or even glance at his face but returned to her usual corner, standing alone. A bloody light emerged, shrouding her before her battered black robe became as good as new.

She then simply sat and began recuperating her injuries and popped a pill into her mouth, recovering her blood energy for the next battle.

Not only Davis but everyone glanced at her actions before Davis used this chance to clasp Evelynn's hand, causing her to turn to look at him.

A gentle smile appeared behind her veil as she clasped his warm hand tightly, saying nothing.

In the northern hemisphere, the Mandate Emperor's expression was a bit frosty as he looked at his son's return.

He felt that his son's guts were too small even though his skill was exemplary. If he had used his Mandate Laws to break the chains, he would've been able to break those crimson chains before using his fire energy to counterattack her.

But because he invoked his fire energy first to burn the chains, it became a burden for him to use Mandate Laws.

There was no way to make up for this mistake, but it also couldn't be said to be a mistake as no one expected Schleya to send herself flying using the shockwave created by Jeras Orcha using his true cultivation.

Truly, the wicked path experts have experienced more life and death battler than their experts, who only knew how to maneuver and see the opponent's move before attacking in accordance to their level. There was no way around it as this was an instinct created through competitions and battling as their elders gave them pointers.

That's why they had to regularly send these young experts to train to battle the wicked path, but even then, it would be rare for them to meet with life and death battles as their elders would accompany them. After all, battling with the wicked path who had many tricks and lethal weapons in their sleeves was difficult to battle.

The Mandate Emperor knew of this point and so couldn't help but lament that they followed righteousness as a cause but possessed less killing power.

Nevertheless, Welch Regalanius could've fought until Schleya neared him, but he gave up easily once he sensed mortal danger.

Looks like he would have to discipline him later.

On the other hand, Jeras Orcha returned to his family's seating area, which was unlike the hegemons. They sat on the lower stratum as they didn't have a Territory to themselves, but their prowess could match a Mid-Sized Territory's Hegemon with no problem.

The Patriarch of the Orcha Family, Allecti Orcha, scolded Jeras Orcha for a while before dismissing him.

It would've been fine if he lost to that woman called Natalya as the Emperor of Death has already beaten them, but to have lost against Schleya, a wicked path woman who was obviously in the same realm as him, no, weaker than him, Allecti Orcha became furious!

But what could he do? Jeras Orcha is the Young Patriarch of their family and also his youngest son, so he could only clench his teeth and continue to pour resources into him.

Jeras Orcha returned to someone else, seeking some words of consolement but what greeted him was a look of derision from a gorgeous blue-veiled beauty with the same kind of robe he wore.

"Hmph, even after obtaining me, you're still trash."

"You…!"

Jeras Orcha trembled and clenched his teeth at his elder sister, no, beloved wife, Giselle Orcha, becoming disheartened and angry that she would say such words to him. However, he didn't say anything and walked away, knowing that it was his fault that he screwed up the battle.

Giselle Orcha's eyes were frigid as she watched him leave.

When she was bedded, she felt no primal desire, much less overwhelming pleasure or even love. Once he took her primal yin essence, she pushed him away, but he didn't even bother and continued to refine it. Once he was done, he came back to her like a toad, craving her body, but she kicked him away. Now, only anger remained in her heart, and that anger was turning into one of irritation ever since she arrived here because of a particular reason.

She couldn't help but shoot a glance towards the Alstreim Family's seating area and become even more irritated.

Why the hell was the Zestria Domitian and Bylai Zlatan smiling and talking to their enslaver with such enthusiasm and a kind of adoration that she sought but couldn't obtain.

She had heard the possibility of the Emperor of Death having pure dragon blood. Was this why they were all over him?

'Sluts. If I meet one of you two in battle, I'm going to prove once and for all that I'm stronger...' Rage and envy filled Giselle Orcha's heart.

By all right, they should've fallen into ruin as they were enslaved, but why were they looking so happy and content while she ended up with this trash who could not even defeat a weaker opponent!?

Her body kept trembling ever so lightly, and even the night she spent with Jeras Orcha and the little feelings she had for him were turning into disgust. She felt that giving her priceless body to him was an absolute waste. If it weren't for the forced arranged marriage, she wouldn't have even deigned to look at him.

In the Alstreim Family's seating area, Zestria was smiling with delight, talking to her big sisters, who were actually her little sisters in terms of age, imparting them with her knowledge. It could be seen that she was talkative and fiery, sometimes bragging, sometimes exaggerating.

However, she suddenly sensed a burst of hostility, causing her to narrow her eyes.

She and Bylai looked towards a direction the same time before they faced each other and smirked, knowing who it was.

"Natalya, if you meet that bitch Giselle in the upcoming battles, make sure to trample on that two-faced schemer."

Zestria suddenly turned to Natalya and caught her hands, imploring her while Bylai was already in the mood to beat Giselle Orcha down. However, Zestria hurriedly covered her mouth, thinking that she had been crass just now, and turned to look at Davis.

However, he didn't seem to have found that disgusting, listening to them with a faint smile on his face as he held Evelynn's hand, seated together with her.

"Two-faced schemer?" Natalya blinked, bringing the conversation back before Zestria awkwardly nodded.

"Yes. Back then, because she could not defeat us, she used other despicable means to provoke and defeat us, but she could not accomplish her goals even then. It was said that the previous Water Dragon Queens possessed warm and amicable personalities, but she's just a loser who lost her heart to jealousy. After losing to all three of us so many times, she dropped her act and revealed her hate, so we don't even bother with her when all four of us Dragon Queens meet."

By the end, her voice became full of disdain.

Natalya took in this information before she unhesitatingly nodded.

"Aha~ Thanks, second sister." Zestria grinned, feeling like she had become closer.

This was a simple matter for Natalya as she had absolute confidence in defeating anyone other than Davis and Ellia. Although she had grown extremely strong, her ego hadn't inflated, nor did she overestimate herself, thinking that she could win against a reincarnator who could have been actually an immortal in their previous life, at least, according to Davis.

"What about the Wind Dragon Queen?" Fiora asked. She was extremely curious when it came to the wind.

"Zura Ike?" A complex look appeared on Zestria's face, "She is a solitary soul bound by nothing and has a calm and composed personality. Unfortunately, she is now married to her half-sibling Itaran Ike, bound by her duties as the Dragon Queen. She lamented it before, and I bet she still laments it but, she's a kind woman… actually the kindest among us, so she'll adhere to her expectations placed upon her by her family and do her best to fulfill them."

As she finished, Zestria's expression crumbled into one of sorrow.

The explosive speed of her movement technique was intrinsic, but without the insights that Zura Ike shared with her about her movement technique during one of their joint expeditions, she wouldn't have gotten that fast.

"Woah, just the opposite of Giselle Orcha..." Fiora giggled.

Zestria nodded.

The Dragon Queens shared rivalry, but that didn't mean that they didn't know each other well. At normal times, they would be competing, but when faced with outsiders, they would join forces, and that's what the alliance of the Dragon Families is there for, but the jealous Giselle Orcha broke that kind of unity, and after they grew up and reached the Eighth Stage, they only got distant, rarely meeting.

Both Zestria and Bylai spoke about their life while the others listened. The battles below were boring for them as their members still weren't called, but occasionally, they would look at the battles and comment, displaying disdain or approval for the other geniuses and their techniques.

Zestria and Bylai didn't seem impressed much, but the others were like country bumpkins, witnessing so many flashy and colorful techniques that broadened their horizons. For one, those moves were spectacular, but for the other, they lacked killing prowess, causing them to have a good laugh.

However, the Emperor Sword Sect's topmost disciple: Rayn Shard, the Wind Dragon Queen: Zura Ike, Vast Sky Emperor's most talented son: Wayn Skycloud, and the dark horse all dominated their battles, stunning them and the crowd.

It wasn't long before the next battle's competitors were called out.

[Ivy Aries]

[Natalya Alstreim]

[Threelotus]

The crowd became stunned as they saw the competitors.. Unexpectedly, it was a battle between three outstanding women.
