Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 104 - Claire’s Soul Seal

"You should be able to see the names of all living beings, regardless of race, species and et cetera." It replied casually.

"Is that true!?" Davis was excited. If that was true, then he will be able to hunt down Magical Beasts easily.

"Yeah, if you concentrate your eyes or soul sense well enough on the target!" The crisp voice replied.

"I see." Davis smiled as his astral form disintegrated within his soul sea.

...

Davis opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

’This was an unreal encounter! I believe that it was the death note’s spirit no matter how I look at it!’

Suddenly, Davis concentrated on the Death Note in his soul sea and said, "Can you hear me?"

"I can." A crisp reply came from his soul.

Davis sighed as he was now sure that it wasn’t a dream, ’Somehow, I feel like I am talking to myself... Anyway, this method of communication is more efficient than entering my soul to communicate with it."

He stood up, walked away from his bed, exiting the study as he closed the door.

He saw a servant nearby and ordered him to repair the damage he caused in the ceiling of his study.

After instructing, he leisurely walked to his mother’s room as he pondered about some things.

Unknowingly, he got to the entrance to his mother’s room and stood in front of it. Coming out of his reverie, he knocked on the door, "Mom!"

"Davis!? Come inside!" A melodious voice echoed outside the door along with some hurried footsteps, putting a smile on his face.

The door opened, and Claire glanced out with a joyous expression on her face. She pulled him inside and hugged him as she smiled.

Davis felt incomparable warmth in his soul so much that a voice sounded out from his soul, "Hey, keep the temperature down, will ya? I prefer cold places!"

Davis ignored it and continued to enjoy the heartwarming hug for a few seconds.

Claire stepped back. She felt gratified and proud to be his mother after hearing about his valiant feat in the Grand Sea Continent Meet.

"Mother, I’m back!" Davis smiled as he said.

Claire pinched his cheek as her face turned cold, "It’s been 14 days since you came back and now you’re telling mom that you’re back! You unfilial son!"

"Mom! It’s not like that, I had some urgent matters to take care of!" Davis shouted back, feeling sorry.

Claire then laughed as she smiled sweetly, "I know, I heard about your master. It’s just that mother is quite jealous that you chose your master over me..." She stroked his head affectionately as she sighed.

Davis awkwardly laughed, but suddenly he got an idea, "No mom! I went to visit my master and asked him to help me destroy that soul seal that was placed on your soul!"

"Really!? You’re the best!" Claire kissed his cheeks and got excited.

Davis nodded his head but didn’t reply. He looked inside the room and saw Edward sleeping inside a big cradle.

"Mom, the process requires you to be unconscious so that it won’t possibly affect your emotions!" Davis made up an excuse as he didn’t want anyone close to him to see that he had dark attributed energy.

Claire narrowed her eyes, there was a slight worry that shone in her eyes, "Is your master going to be the one who treats me?"

"No, it’s me. Mom can rest assured about that!" Davis answered, knowing her concern. If she still wasn’t going to accept that, then he could only come out with his secret.

"Alright, mom trusts you!" Claire smiled resplendently, causing the guilt in his heart to grow.

’Mom, one day, I’ll tell you the truth. Until then, please forgive this unfilial son!’ Davis thought as he smiled back at her.

Claire moved and sat back on her bed, "Is it okay if I become unconscious? Or should I be in another state altogether?"

"Being unconscious is enough," Davis replied. Just when he tried to take out a pill which renders a person unconscious, Claire’s voice sounded out.

"Alright..." Uttering that, Claire placed her finger on her glabella and after a moment, fell unconscious as her head collapsed on the pillow.

’Holy shit! How did she do that?’ Davis’s eyes shot wide open. He hurriedly went in front of her and checked her.

’Did she pound her soul heavily, causing her to fall asleep or unconscious?’ Davis thought as he narrowed his eyes.

"Well, I’ll just ask her about it when she wakes up," Davis muttered and sat beside her.

He placed his finger on her glabella and directed his consciousness into her soul. He did so with the utmost care as if he was handling a frail jar which might break upon the slightest touch.

It took him a minute to successfully enter her Soul Sea.

"This is Mom’s Soul Sea..." He muttered as he looked around the empty bright space. He searched for a while manually and didn’t dare to use too much soul energy in the process, afraid that it might hurt her somehow.

Eventually, he found what he was looking for in this Soul Sea.

"There it is..." Davis uttered while his expression turned incomparably solemn.

A white blob light was surrounded by glowing chains, which trapped and sealed it. The glowing chains were extended to the horizons and faded out in the distance.

Inside the white blob of light, a faint silhouette could be seen.

"Mom!" Davis clenched his fists as he grunted loudly. This scene made him furious for a moment, but he quickly calmed down the next second.

’Death Note! Can you hear me?’ Davis tried to make a connection with the Death Note.

"Loud and clear! No matter where you are, I can hear you as long as I’m bound to your soul." The crisp voice replied calmly.

"That’s good! Now, can you see what’s in front of me?" Davis smirked.

"Wai... Yeah, I can see that now!"

"Marvelous!’ Davis thought as he smiled. He originally decided to use the dark energy of the Death Note to devour those chains, but he didn’t know what side effects will affect her in the future, so he didn’t now dare to do it by himself. That’s why he said to Evelynn that it might take years to complete his ’research’.

"Can you remove those chains restricting that blob of light? If yes, will it cause any damage to her soul?"
