Divine Emperor of Death

In the distance, Lereza turned her back to Wicked Tamer Jaxon Harrow as she gazed into the distance after sending Davis a soul transmission. She couldn't see his expression but knew he got her sincere plea, causing her to smile lightly.

'Selfish as it may be, perhaps, I'll earn your forgiveness in this way…'

She turned around, turning to look at Wicked Tamer Jaxon Harrow, who blinked at her with shock.

"You're telling me to… choose you?"

"Hardly…" Lereza smirked playfully as she raised both her hands, crossed, and threw her middle finger over the index finger as she clenched them, "I'm saying that I might not be the one to die today."

This time, huge and thick vines emerged along with sharp thorn ivy blades like they could simply drill their way into a High-Level Immortal Emperor Grade Ore Deposit like nothing. Her Level One Immortal Emperor Stage undulations reverberated, but her aura was dense and heavy, her prowess climbing as high as Level Eight Immortal Emperor Stage.

"Certainly." Wicked Tamer Jaxon Harrow chuckled in response, "I can see how an Everlasting Ivyblade Thorn Spirit like you would manage to endure a battle of this level, but unfortunately for you, you are a lifeform made out of flesh. Still, you have misunderstood my intentions. I won't ever kill you, but please spare me the dread of hurting you. I'd love it if you just gave up and allowed me to take care of you with love and care, my dear pet."

His voice echoed sincere and full of pleading, but Lereza's body shook with all the rejection she could ever bring out from her soul, causing her eyes to flash and bosoms to bounce as she slashed with her fingers.

"Die!"

*Rippp!~*

With a ferocious cry, she unleashed her attack. The sound of ripping echoed through the air as her fingers tore through the fabric of reality. The vines and thorn blades, propelled by her formidable energy, surged toward Wicked Tamer Jaxon Harrow with deadly intent.

However, Wicked Tamer Jaxon Harrow, undeterred by the imminent danger, didn't even use the Vacuous Beasts at his command. Instead, his body moved with uncanny agility as he evaded the onslaught of thorns and vines, his dark eyes gleaming with an eerie intensity.

Lereza's attack left a trail of devastation in its wake, spatial fissures seething almost everywhere around him. The ground trembled beneath the force, and the air crackled with residual energy. But as the space settled, it became clear that Wicked Tamer Jaxon Harrow had managed to evade the full brunt of her assault, a malevolent smirk appearing on his lips as though he looked at Lereza with a mixture of arrogance and fascination.

He extended a hand towards her as if inviting her to surrender to his twisted desires.

Lereza's eyes burned with a fire that refused to be extinguished. She saw through the insidious intentions behind Wicked Tamer Jaxon Harrow's words, realizing that his offer of love and care masked a malevolent desire to control and dominate, robbing her of her will.

She detested such frivolous and wicked nature, causing her to lash out with her vines again. They were like a flurry of whips, creating a storm of lacerating with barbed blades that ripped everything in its wake.

"Didn't you see that it was useless against me?"

Wicked Tamer Jaxon Harrow laughed, easily dodging before his expression turned into a frown.

"You won't submit? That's not good… you need to be disciplined…"

*Ripp!~*

Crimson vines extended out from Wicked Tamer Jaxon Harrow. However, Lereza saw that they weren't wood but blood, out to lacerate his enemies. He firmly caught its end in his grasp and flailed at her with arrogance, causing her vines to break.

Lereza clenched her fingers firmer in response. Her energy soared, and her vines quickly rejuvenated, stitching themselves back as they grew new deadly thorns. The pink shade of the thorns didn't appear comical but gave the aura of resilience, making Wicked Tamer Jaxon Harrow smile.

"…!"

But suddenly, her pupils dilated as she instantly retreated from the scene, appearing ten thousand kilometers away in an instant.

"Oh? You could see my Karmablood threads?"

Wicked Tamer Jaxon Harrow's eyes gleamed as he controlled the bloody crimson threads that he sneakily sent to attach them to Lereza. Even though it was invisible, she seemed to have sensed it and retreated, causing him to cackle lightly.

"A pity… if only you were a bit stronger, you would've been able to thwart me."

He joined his hands and clasped his fingers, suddenly causing the area to turn into a bloody translucent zone, causing Lereza's expression to change as she saw that his domain had covered a distance of a hundred thousand kilometers.

At that moment, she knew it was over as she could feel a sudden prickly sensation in her soul. Her expression went pale. It was like she was being stabbed, pried open. Although it didn't contain pain, it made her feel dread, one that made her feel like she was going to lose her self.

"Heavens… your everlasting attribute is truly marvelous. I think I need to focus more to penetrate into your soul essence..."

Wicked Tamer Jaxon Harrow exclaimed. He had just closed his eyes as though he was truly focusing before suddenly opening his eyes with a frown.

*Rip!~*

Suddenly, a spatial vortex opened near Lereza as Davis walked out, his figure still bloodied.

"You!-"

Lereza was dumbfounded and furious, looking at him step out with an indifferent expression. She had gone to great lengths to ensure that he would be able to escape, sending him about half a million kilometers away as she slingshot him into the skies, but here he was, having taken a shortcut back here as seemed to have used a spatial talisman to return to this bloody madman who was hunting him.

"…"

But suddenly, she found that she couldn't speak. There was no aura coming from Davis. Not even his undulations were present. It was as though he was one with the heaven and earth that she felt like if her eyes and soul connection with him didn't register him, she would believe that it was an illusion.

Davis heaved a gentle sigh as he saw that he was caught in Wicked Tamer Jaxon Harrow's grasp the moment he stepped here. The latter's expression also appeared as though he was going to cry joyful tears as he saw his return.

Regardless, Davis remained indifferent to the situation. He opened his mouth.

"I won't hesitate anymore if you continue this madness. I only need an instant to end this, just like you do to cause me to implode."

"Oh? And you think you can do something against me?"

Wicked Tamer Jaxon Harrow seemed amused, causing Davis to be unmoving.

"I don't like to brag, but even among Anarchic Divergents, I've encountered twelve Paragon Magical Beasts in my heavenly tribulation. Do you really want to try me?"

Wicked Tamer Jaxon Harrow's brows narrowed. He really didn't bother with gathering information about things that disinterested him, so he didn't know the full extent of the anarchic nature of the Emperor of Death.

Now that he heard it, there was a layer of hesitation in his eyes before he smiled widely.

"Then let's see who comes out as the winner. Then, your Nadia and Lereza will finally belong to me in the truest sense."

Wicked Tamer Jaxon Harrow raised his hand when blood coagulated around him, forming a bloody yet karmic defense around him.

Davis's expression finally changed as he had a mocking expression on his face. As if that would do any good from what he was about to unleash. However, a hint of sorrow emerged in his eyes as he heard Nadia and Elder screaming in his mind from two hundred and fifty thousand kilometers away, not to mention his messaging talismans constantly reverberating in his spatial ring.

"Fine."

He uttered, pulling Fallen Heaven's scroll form out of his soul.
