Divine Emperor of Death

Evelynn's eyes brewed with killing intent against this arachnid's remnant soul.

But at the same time, her mind became clouded with pessimistic thoughts.

Judging by Misteltae's words, only immortals would be capable of helping Davis? And that too only at the level of those who mastered or possessed Life Laws? Obviously, the Panacea Soul Fruit was an Immortal Grade Fruit, and the only one who she knew could use Life Laws was her husband.

She knew his prowess with it and would even dare to claim or boast that he was at their level if he ever made it to the immortal level. However, he was unconscious, so how could he heal himself?

"Is there any other way? Specifically in Emperor Grade." She clenched her teeth and asked again.

"You ask too many questions." Misteltae shook its head, "I'm not a physician or an apothecary. I only know some general knowledge the world had at that time, and even I would be hard-pressed to meet Saintess Lunaria or the Nine Lives Gracious Fox since I was not an immortal. If I could meet them, perhaps even I would've been saved from near-death after failing the tribulation..."

Misteltae hissed with annoyance.

"It's a pity, don't you think?"

Evelynn's shoulders hung in dejection as she heard Misteltae's speech.

It was pretty much hopeless.

But since Misteltae did not know about Emperor Grade Treasures that could possibly heal Davis, she was not about to give up. She could not give up.

'What should I do...? Should I consume its blood essence...?'

Evelynn began to think. She felt that she could call Isabella to make this decision. However, she knew that Isabella and even the others would stop her from pursuing this endeavor. Even she understood that she was preposterous to be even considering this, and a part of her really wanted to stop this nonsense.

But the rage in her heart made her want to drink it in one fell swoop!

"In any case, you're free to keep it and consume it later as well. Do as you wish, oh lucky on- eh...! You drank it already...?"

Evelynn's throat gulped as she consumed the entirety of Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid's Blood Essence.

*THUMP!~*

A sharp and clear sound rang out from Evelynn's heart as it palpitated.

*Thud!~*

The jade bottle fell on the floor while Evelynn's eyes shook severely. Her body began to tremble before she suddenly grabbed her throat with both her hands as she felt it burning. Her stomach churned, making her want to spit out all those blood essences while her muscles began to severely spasm.

"Uck!!~"

Her clear eyes became bloodshot as they rolled back. However, she refused to lose consciousness and bit down on her teeth as hard as she could. Blood splattered out of her mouth. She moved her hands away from her neck, leaving two heavy palm-prints, and brought out a vial as she drank again.

*Thud!~*

Her knees went limp as she knelt down, her bosoms heaving heavily for gasps of breath while intense pain took over her body as the raging spasms continued. She could feel the blood essence spread everywhere to her body, continuously changing the structure within.

"Hnghh!!!"

Evelynn felt like screaming from the immense pain, but she kept her mouth tightly closed.

'Davis... Davis...! Davis!!!~'

She kept biting her tongue, but that was merely an illusion as her severed tongue was already out on the floor. There was nothing to bite, but she merely kept it doing it, chanting Davis's name in her mind, wanting him to give her more courage to face this life and death state.

Tears emerged from her glazed yet bloodshot eyes as they fell like a waterfall. However, it was already too late to back down, and she did all she could. She was aware that she could only wait for the result as her entire body kept trembling heavily, making her feel like she was burning in flames.

At this moment, her body was already beginning to show a different shade. A purplish hue took over, making her appear as if she was poisoned deeply. If one were to look at her, they might think that she really drank poison instead of blood essence.

Abruptly, a mysterious perception descended on Evelynn. Her bloodshot eyes suddenly went wide to the limit before she suddenly moved!

*Bang!~*

Evelynn banged her head on the floor!

Not because she had gone insane, but the tumultuous pain that enveloped her entire body grew even more intense, especially on the forehead.

*Bang!~*

*Bang!~*

*Bang!~*

She hit her head multiple times on the surface as if trying to break the floor tiles that were of Emperor Grade. Blood splashed from her forehead in copious amounts that it could be seen that she almost split her skull apart.

*Bang!~*

The last headbutt cracked open her skull that she could no longer suppress her voice.

"AHHHH!!!"

She threw her head up, screaming atop of her lungs when a vertical split emerged on her forehead as an eye popped out. It had the same hex-like symbol on Misteltae's third eye.

However, the next moment...

*Splat!~*

Evelynn's entire lower body exploded into a mangled mess of flesh before abruptly reforming into what seemed to be a spider's back. The fleshy mess assimilated together as they started resembling a spider's posterior, growing in length and breadth while eight legs began to sprout freshly anew, the ends adorned with the nascent form of sickles.

However, no screams could be heard from her mouth.

It could be seen that Evelynn became unconscious. Perhaps, she already died.

Looking at this scene, Misteltae's eyes were unamused as she became silent instead of the sliver of contempt that gleamed in her eyes and the string of laughter she released from her mouth.

"What a waste of my blood... Ugh, this makes me sadder than I thought it would. I should've made multiple tombs and segregated my blood essences instead of combining them into one complete blood essence. I can't bear to look at this mess..."

In Misteltae's two eyes, one could see the reflection of Evelynn's lower body turning into one of a spider's, a Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid's to be exact. Her upper body also adopted the color palette of its body, becoming darkish purple.

In all this transformation, Evelynn remained unconscious.

But suddenly, her eyes shot wide open along with her third eye!

Her black pupils that kept severely shaking, abruptly shone with golden light before her lower body suddenly exploded again!

Blood splashed all over the floor anew, but the mangled mess of flesh began to reform like before. However, instead of reforming a spider's back, the two legs of a human sprouted from Evelynn's back. They quickly reconstructed Evelynn's legs, but it took the color palette of her upper body at this moment. Moreover, her bare skin was starting to become covered in tiny scales.

"Tch..! A dragon's blood...? No wonder. Moreover, this aura... immortal level?"

Misteltae could sense the Earth Dragon's Blood Essence brewing inside Evelynn, trying to dominate its arachnid blood from becoming lethal to the host. But since the Earth Dragon's Blood Essence aura was at the immortal level, Misteltae knew that it could more or less dominate its complete blood essence.

Nevertheless, a smirk appeared on Misteltae's spider face.

"However, the ability to mate with almost every magical beast and mix their blood seamlessly with the other race comes with the price of difficulty to bear the next generation. The heavens do balance things quite neatly. Oh well, looks like my lucky successor is truly lucky to have a treasure like that, and my blood hadn't gone to waste. In the end, I won..."

Misteltae's lips curved as it displayed two rows of jagged teeth and fangs. However, the next moment, Misteltae began fading out into smoke as its remnant soul dispersed.

Evelynn witnessed this scene and heard Misteltae's words.

However, her expression had gone stiff from her muscles still spasming. Her fair skin had already turned into poisonous purple, with some places shaded with the brownish-golden tone of the Earth Dragon. Four sickles sprouted from the back, over the end of her spine before it extended into additional four legs.

With the support of those four additional spider lances stabbing onto the surface, she used her hands and feet to stand up on the bloodied ground. Her eyes were no longer of a human's but resembled a dragon's, glowing with a purplish-golden glint that began to radiate with an immense might!

*Bang!~*

"Evelynn!"

Isabella crashed the door open and entered the room, only to see an unfamiliar figure with her big sister's face, turning to look at her with a frigid gaze with her purplish-golden pupils.

"Why...?"

Isabella bit her lips while tears fell down her eyes. She instinctively knew what Evelynn had done as she was no stranger to the transformation to fey as she also faced the risk of becoming one.

"I apologize, Isabella. I'm truly sorry for making you worry, but this had to be done..."

An ice-cold voice echoed from Evelynn, causing Isabella to feel the chills as she cried even more.

Was she their same Evelynn, who was so soft and gentle?

=======

In the Tripartite Alliance Territory, a figure appeared out of nowhere, but if one had capable eyes, they could see a spatial gate behind the figure disappearing slowly.

"Brother, I am a day late, but I am still able to make it to the after celebrations~"

Clara's melodious voice echoed as she gazed into the horizon.

She was finally here in the Fifty-Two Territories, waiting to see the wider part of the world along with her brother like she dreamed of!
