Chapter 2009: Come Out
Davis directly activated his Emperor Sigil fueled by Fallen Heaven’s reincarnation energy, causing it to undergo a temporary yet powerful change before his mouth opened!
"Die!"
Davis and Myria both bellowed simultaneously, unleashing dreadful and fearsome reincarnation energy at each other.
*Ripp!!!~*
Space massively collapsed in their surroundings, but they were constantly on the move while iridescent waves kept tearing everything apart.
Nadia was in the distance, shocked to see this scene. They were sundering this world, creating spatial rifts and fractures in the spatial zone everywhere they passed.
"...!"
The entire fur on her body stood on end as they were heading towards her. Instantly, she leaped and disappeared, arriving far away from them. However, spatial storms kept billowing as though they were the end of the world and, in the midst, constantly fought two figures as though they didn’t exist in that space.
"Who are you!? How did you obtain that damned treasure!?"
Myria had gone fully hostile, hurling furious attacks filled with reincarnation energy at him. Killing intent was seeping out of her eyes as though she completely viewed him as his enemy.
Layers and layers of reincarnation energy surrounded Davis. At this moment, not having the ability to restore soul force became a catastrophe to Myria. She was unable to reduce the expenditure of her soul force, and her attacks were becoming weaker by the second.
Abruptly, she took out a fruit that appeared conical-shaped, possessing immense power. Without even bothering to know what it was, Davis waved the blade of reincarnation energy and directly attacked her hand, cutting off her arm. Myria’s arm was torn apart from her wrist, her palm holding the fruit before it got engulfed by the spatial storm, probably disappearing forever.
Myria’s eyes became bloodshot, her reincarnation energy surging in droves out of her body when a hand suddenly grasped her neck and shot towards the ground.
*Bang!~*
An icy white light erupted out of Myria, causing Davis’s hand to be pushed back as he was forced to let go of Myria.
"Scram!"
Davis struck the icy white-light, which was the Ice Phoenix, with a backhand, causing the Ice Phoenix to let out a miserable cry, blood spurting out from its body as it was sent flying to the side; its true body manifesting a second later.
At the same time, Nadia appeared beside the Ice Phoenix, her purple eyes gleaming with intensity as she directly launched her species technique which was a soul attack, causing the Ice Phoenix to tremble and shriek before it collapsed to the ground.
It had fainted, unable to take the pain as it had never experienced before under Myria’s wings.
Davis quickly looked for Myria with his soul sense and found that she was rapidly retreating to the edge of the spatial cracks. His eyes sharply narrowed, his body automatically moving as he moved with extreme speed!
He waved his hand, and instead of attacking Myria, he directly attacked the space in front of her, causing the reincarnation energy to explode.
*Boom!~*
Spatial tears appeared all over as Myria was sent flying again, and the direction she was flying was none other than to him.
Davis quickly arrived in front of her, but his brows narrowed as he struck out. At the same time, Myria, who was hiding a reincarnation law technique, jumped up into a leaping posture and struck Davis.
The two of their clash was instantly met with disaster as space rent.
However, Davis directly crossed the disaster, his body becoming filled with bloody tears as he appeared in front of Myria and captured her neck.
*Bang!~*
This time, there was no escape for Myria. He directly forced her to the ground, his reincarnation energy shrouding her body, forcing her to become suppressed under his power.
*Gasp!~*
Davis took a deep breath, his breathing heavy. Just now, he almost expended all his soul force and came across death, all to not let Myria escape. Getting a bit of reprieve, he looked down at her closely, checking her state.
Davis ruminated that only a few strands of soul force were left in her soul while his own soul force was almost emptying but not as it kept filling up. At this moment, the fact that he kept a few powerful soul essences or rather spirit essences, including the Unrestrained Lightning Heir Spirit’s soul essence, became the decisive point between them.
Perhaps, the fruit that Myria took out was capable of restoring her soul force or maybe more than that.
However, it wasn’t his concern at this moment as he deeply suppressed Myria.
"You-!" Myria struggled with her arm bleeding, her neck held down on the ground while Davis was on top of her, also holding her other hand.
Her eyes were bloodshot, full of rage. She used her severed arm to attack his head, blood splattering all over Davis’s face. It was without any energy, even martial energy or essence energy. It wasn’t that she couldn’t summon those energies but that her soul force had already dropped so much that she was on the verge of fainting, barely being awake.
Davis didn’t make a move, getting hit by her severed arm. As he saw her flailing and hitting his face powerlessly, a sense of sadness crept into his heart.
"Back then, I was unknowingly happy when I came to know that you were a being like me, a reincarnator... but you just had to go ruin it all instead of cooperating with me, your father, HUH!?"
Davis trembled while his clenched fists looked as if it was going to destroy the surrounding space just from its vibrations alone, visible cracks appearing on the surrounding. The instant clenching of his hand caused Myria’s other hand to crack and dislocate with a twist of his palm.
Now, he held her flailing severed arm and held down her neck, closely staring at her while the severe pain caused Myria to come out of her rage as she looked stared at him, rage still clouding her mind, but there was a semblance of sanity in her wide eyes.
Numerous emotions flashed through her eyes.
Helplessness, despair, rage, sympathy, but all that didn’t matter as the little bit of strength in her body finally left. She relaxed, looking at Davis with the same coldness she once did when she emerged from her sleep. It was almost as if she accepted her fate.
"Go ahead and kill me, but a fair word of warning, for I will survive, and Ellia will die."
Davis tried to keep his calm, but her words instantly invoked a furious reaction out of him.
"You dare hide behind Ellia!?"
"Idiot." Myria unceremoniously sneered, "If you can separate her, my daughter, from me, do it. If not, just kill me. I will not die. I will return somewhere in the future. I will hunt you down and seek revenge for my daughter who fell in love with a man she shouldn’t have!"
She clenched her teeth, glaring at him with a venomous look.
"Hmph! Lies! You’re suppressing her, aren’t you? Let her speak!"
*Paah!~*
Davis directly gave her a slap, causing her head to turn. However, she didn’t look back at him, a wry smile hanging on her lips.
"I’m not suppressing her. You know I don’t even have the conscious strength to move. She won’t come out because she knows that you and I are destined to kill each other for this damned treasure and is even willing to die under your arms, willing to forsake even me, although I bet that she selfishly thinks that I can just reincarnate again, no harm done to me when I don’t know if I will ever have someone like my Ellia again!"
As Myria finished, rage and sorrow churned in her eyes and voice as she turned to look at him, a wide smile appearing on her face.
"Moreover, I bet the master of this world is watching us right now, wanting to see who would come victorious. Since I lost, just kill me already!"
Davis felt a chill on his spine. However, the karmic burden wasn’t as great as what he felt when he leaked information to Isabella, perhaps because he already knew that this could be the case.
"I have fate under my control, so you don’t dare talk about having to kill each other while citing nonsensical destiny."
His eyes trembled as he spoke in a cold voice.
"Ahaha! Controlling fate?"
Myria appeared crazy, looking like she had heard the funniest matter in the world.
"You think you can control this damned treasure that even pushed the master of the world to this plight!? Ha! I was right. You are conceited like a fool. I was always wondering how Ellia was different as she managed to awaken me, and it turns out that you have this damned treasure, which allowed her to deceive the eyes of the heavens. Perhaps, did you think it was caused by your actions? What a farce! Wake up to reality! That damned treasure allowed me to wake up so I could kill you and take it! This damned treasure always gives the illusion of indomitability but ruined the lives of many immortals, you brainless idiot!"
Myria screamed at Davis with outrage, causing Davis to become dumbfounded.
If that was the case, why did Fallen Heaven help him scare Myria of its own volition back then? Moreover, it had the choice to leave him when he battled with Myria just moments ago. Surely, it could’ve backstabbed him and left, no?
"Then why do you want this damned treasure?"
When Davis asked with all seriousness, Myria’s eyes turned even more venomous as she furiously spat out.
"For revenge!!!"
At this moment, Davis completely understood that Myria might be a vengeful spirit, not literally, but he finally knew why she looked like she possessed many burdens. It was probably to kill those who wronged her in her previous life, which was understandable.
Thinking of all of this, Davis gulped, having nothing to swallow while his lips appeared dry. He was tired. It may not be a long battle, but it sure was exhausting, and since there was no talking and patching up things with Myria, he could only call out in a serene voice.
"Ellia, I’ll protect you like I always did. That’s why... come out."
Amidst the silent atmosphere of this sealed space, only Nadia was beside him, worriedly looking at his wounded figure that was clenching Myria’s neck, not so tight and not so soft. On the other hand, remnants of reincarnation energy overflowed as it covered the atmosphere, having utterly caused destruction.
It wouldn’t be long before a spatial collapse in this region would occur, causing everything to be engulfed in a spatial void or probably return to its original self before the collapsed pocket space had changed its laws.
