Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 678 Still Alive

Davis chuckled, "Besides if the Third Prince is what they say he is... Then he will undoubtedly protect your family without having the need for me to step in..."

Inwardly, he felt that this could be an excellent opportunity to see if he could hand over Old Man Garvin’s Inheritance, the spatial ring to Alexi Ethren.

That’s right! When he switched places with the avatar and hid his main body when he first met Alexi Ethren in Agis Stirlander’s residence, the pendant he made sure to wear on him whenever he went out reacted as it glowed!

It meant that Alexi Ethren, the Third Prince could be a descendant of Old Man Garvin! At least, there was more than a ninety percent chance that he should be one.

Fortunately, no one sensed the undulations the pendant gave off as he was using his Dark Concealing Shroud Art at that time!

But Davis felt that he should still be cautious, after all, anyone could wear that necklace which made his pendant glow. He could even be mistaken and misidentify them as Old Man Garvin’s descendants, so he felt that he should rather confirm and verify his bloodline and character before handing over that precious spatial ring.

The next moment, a streak of light shot out from his glabella.

Another Davis appeared in Evelynn’s and Natalya’s view.

’Avatar?’ Evelynn thought but it seemed somewhat different. Then she realized that it could be his normal soul body since she knew that this avatar was already outside, guarding the residence.

Davis let them go from his grasp and flew above a bit. From there, he looked towards the central district to see if there were any kind of hostile forces heading towards them.

He decided that no matter who might come from the Ethren Royal Family, if they had ill intentions against them, then they’ll be met with a death sentence!

======

At the third level, Ethren City.

A flaming plume of cylindrical cloud blazed and swirled around as if it were a mini purgatory. Nevertheless, it was suppressed by the cloud formation.

Alexi Ethren had his eyes wide as he looked at the destruction looming over one of Royal Palaces that should have supposed to have existed but didn’t, its structure nowhere to be seen.

Beside him, his subordinate Alchemist Yen looked at the explosion with an aghast expression on his face. If it were not for that cloud formation that suppressed the self-destruction of an Eight Stage Expert, he would’ve died as well.

He had just left the premises of the Second Prince’s Royal Palace for the fifth time after being rejected, hence, he increasingly felt that something was wrong as they were told before.

He felt that the Second Prince should be the one who had framed them!

However, when he was almost halfway back to the Third Prince who was on standby, waiting for the two vice envoys to make a move, the entire Royal Palace of the Second Prince was caught up in a flaming hell that threatened to burn anything in its range.

Fortunately, the cloud formation that had a dense and spongy defensive prowess equalling to Mid-Level Emperor Grade Expert’s power existed and safeguarded the third level from being blasted into the heavens. Otherwise, he, along with the others would have been long but engulfed in that burning purgatory!

"What is this!?" A trembling voice echoed beside them.

Alexi Ethren turned to look at the two vice envoys. They had almost ended up dead, so he could understand their angry expressions.

Nevertheless, he too would have died if he went near, so his anger wasn’t any less than him.

Just when he was about to reply, they all simultaneously turned their heads, only to see a black shadow escape from that scorching hell!

"That’s him, that’s the person who had escaped along with the impostor!" Alchemist Yen pointed at the shadow person and screamed.

"He’s still alive!?" The two vice envoys simultaneously echoed in shock.

A Low-Level Law Sea Stage Expert’s self-destruction should at least be able to take an equal level expert but looking at the shadow person now, it was clear that he was way stronger than they imagined!

"No, that’s his soul body!" Alexi Ethren who had keen senses quickly identified the discrepancy of the shadow person.

The shadow person did not have darkness clad over him anymore, instead, some parts of his features are visible as he turned to run.

"Quick, capture him!" The two vice envoys yelled.

Alexi Ethren shook his head.

"What!? You don’t dare to follow our orders?" The two vice envoys naturally thought that the Third Prince was afraid of fighting with the shadow figure.

"No, that shadow figure is trapped in the cloud formation as far as I know. Once the cloud formation senses danger and activates, it curbs all damages within the soft, spongy clouds and wouldn’t retract if the owner of the formation doesn’t retract the clouds..."

"In other words, that shadow has no way to leave unless otherwise Royal Father let the shadow figure escape..."

Keith Ethren stated with a victory smile on his voice but then his expression froze as he inwardly facepalmed.

’Did I just feel proud of my Ethren Empire for the first time in my life?’

He wryly shook his head and when he inclined his head, he caught sight of the Emperor, coming with an entourage of more than ten Royal Protectors behind hum.

His wry smile widened even more, ’What a coward... Only showing his face after getting his protectors to gather around him...’

However, with this, he knew that the shadow figure who dared to orchestrate his framing was as good as captured!

======

Davis looked at the central region with apt attention but even after an hour had passed, there was no sign of people coming to invade his residence.

Feeling irked, he almost decided to return to his house while giving into temptation.

Two beauties were waiting for him!

Nevertheless, thinking that could something could happen with his cautious nature, he stayed. Another hour later, two figures blatantly flew above the city as they arrived in his direction from the central region.

Davis recognized that they were none other than the two vice envoys, the subordinates of Havle Alstreim. He disappeared as he used Dark Concealing Shroud Art and decided to use his avatar to confront them like before.

In any case, due to the Illusion Formation blocking their view of the happenings in the residence, they didn’t see him at all.

They quickly approached the residence but slowed down once they neared it. Their feets touched the ground and stopped for a moment before they looked at each other as if urging to go knock the door.

The hesitated for a while before the door suddenly opened, startling them.

The Solitary Soul Avatar with a mask over its face flew out of the residence. Davis stared at them for a while the other two froze, their bodies stiffened like a hardened shell.

A few seconds later, one of the two men finally reacted and stepped forward as he clasped his hand, "Senior!

"We need your help!"

"For what reason?" Davis languidly asked in a deep voice.

"We have apprehended the culprit responsible for the harm caused by the Second Prince."

Davis inwardly became shocked, ’That shadow can even survive such a self-destructive blast at such a close range!?’

"Oh? Is that person the one who dared to interfere with the matters of my Young Mistress back then?"
