Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 302 More Hunting

"Well, as times change, people do as well... Besides, didn’t the middle-eastern countries already have the concept of polygamy legal?" Davis shrugged as it was fine if the other party didn’t believe him.

Drake took a deep breath again, "Re-advent, huh? True, polygamy was widespread in the 19th century before it was abolished. It was only a matter of time before it resurfaced..."

"By 2029, few people were interested in marriages but with the addition of contracts, everyone no longer held themself back. The world became a shit-hole in terms of sincerity and values..." Davis added as he shook his head, "But still, as always, there were people who still hold on to true love, although they were in the extreme minority."

Drake shut his mouth, no longer in the mood to talk about these topics.

Davis looked at Drake’s reaction and suddenly opened his mouth, "You know, even slavery was on the verge of being legalized."

"What!?" Drake grew shocked.

Davis smirked and shook his head, "I’m not kidding. It’s the truth..."

Drake had his mouth agape, and a moment later he spoke with disbelief, "I can understand polygamy being legalized, but slavery? Are you for real!?"

Davis simply nodded.

"How can it be? Human Rights were something that was unshakeable in modern society! Even if war takes place, war prisoners would still be taken care of politely!"

Davis wasn’t fazed by his disbelief, so he explained, "You know about contracts, don’t you? Even in your decade, there were still some contracts that dabbed on the edge of borderline slavery. As years passed by, the contracts and the terms got worse, and it became harder for the common populace to make wealth, even to survive."

"Almost everyone started to sell their lives to the contracts in exchange for money and this movement was also supported by certain people and organizations in the name of being progressive. In the latter years, it was especially worse for women as they would have to..."

"Say no more... I understand..." Drake waved his hands as he closed his eyes. He couldn’t help but lament.

If what Davis said was true... the beautiful life on Earth had been degraded to such a level.

"Of course, the words I spoke only applies to certain countries and not all, so relatively speaking, you don’t need to worry about much..." Davis said as he looked at Drake’s anxious expression but he understood why when the latter spoke, "My parents and my elder sister are alive in Earth... I hope things haven’t gotten difficult for them..."

"It won’t..." Davis could only console.

....

Davis walked on the emerald yet rocky terrain. In his hands were the Dark Crimson Scythe swaying around in a circular arc.

An enormous fireball that had a 15-meter diameter came hurling at him at an incredible speed.

Once the fireball arrived in front of him, it didn’t even get past the Dark Crimson Scythe before it was neutralized.

He slowly continued his walk while the other two, Kara and Drake simultaneously launched fire and ice laws at the large magical beast.

The magical beast looked like a bear yet its belly looked like it had been made out of flowing lava, as it glowed from time to time while it released fire-based laws at them.

It was nothing but a Low-Level Grand Beast Stage Beast, so they relatively had an easier time battling it when compared to a Mid-Level Grand Beast Stage Magical Beast.

Soon enough, as it was bombarded by the two of them, Davis came near enough to sever the head from its body.

*Ripp!~*

The Fire-Bellied Bear’s head flew and a fountain of blood started to sprinkle but was instantly coated over by an ice layer.

The ice layer turned red, and the bear slowly fell as it kicked off the dust in the ground.

The blood didn’t flow out as it was sealed by Kara’s Ice Laws.

Kara took a deep breath and commented, "I can feel that I’m nearing Level One Intent..."

Hearing it, Drake widened his eyes in ecstasy, "Fantastic! You’ve been in at the Law Seed Stage for quite a while, so it is about time!"

Kara narrowed her eyes, "You meant that I should have comprehended long ago?"

Drake animatedly shook his head, "No! I just said that it is expected... It’s a compliment..."

Kara stared at Drake before a grin lit up her face, a teasing curve was on her lips.

Davis didn’t even bother to see them flirting with each other anymore.

He took the magical beast corpse for himself and said, "There’s a Mid-Level Grand Beast Stage Magical Beast nearby, are you guys interested in hunting it?"

"Of course!" Drake replied.

Davis nodded and flew in a direction as the two followed behind him.

....

"Ice Empress Lance!"

A sharp and thick ice lance formed above a dainty hand, emitting a sharp vibe that induced a feeling of chillness in one’s spine.

*Whoosh!~*

The ice lance flew across the trees, its target flying away from the mountainous forest.

*Pierce!~*

"Awoo!!!~~"

The Ice Empress Lance stabbed the magical beast and it gave off a painful cry as it swung in the air while it flapped its wings.

In an instant, the ice lance which was embedded in the chest of the magical beast bird melted and spread to the other areas of its body, immobilizing it in a flash.

The bird-like magical beast lost control of its body and dived down the to the mountainous range, crashing on a large tree and rolled over on the ground.

The next moment, Davis, Drake, and Kara stood a few meters away from it.

The bird-like magical beast spoke with a fearful voice as it shivered from the freeze-inducing ice that encased it, "Mercy... Please... I don’t want to die!"

Drake slowly walked towards its head, not afraid of its retaliation, "You can hold it against us in the afterlife..."

A sharp-edged kingly sword appeared in his hand and he swung it over the frosted bird, slicing its head off.

No blood was spilled because its blood froze steadily but surely from the melted ice lance.
