Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 1228 Suppressing The Urge

In a place where there were buildings built like a small town or a village yet, palaces were floating as they maintained a distance above the ground. While people who wore red robes could be seen roaming in the skies, in contrast, the ones with the other robes could only be seen walking or hovering over the ground under a certain limit.

In a luxurious crimson-colored palace that seemed to have to take a hit like the others but still standing tall, a few people were present inside the structure, kneeling down to a handsome black-haired man draped in deep crimson robes that possessed the symbol of lightning over his chest.

He currently seemed to enjoy caressing two beauties in his arms as they sat on his two laps. However, once these people came to report him about something, he harrumphed before he kissed the beauties goodbye deeply.

The half-naked ladies left the throne hall under the glances of the people who were kneeling, seemingly having their throats go dry as if they couldn’t help but think when they would have a chance to sleep with these high-class beauties.

Furthermore, one of them seemed to be the man who attacked Davis on sight!

"Infernal Lord Hellstorm, my soul senses picked up an anomaly in the eastern region of the Lightning Sea, and I identified it to be a brat of the Alstreim Family."

"Hahaha! Well done!" Infernal Lord Hellstorm instantly stood up, "Did you capture him or kill him? I’d reward you with a fine beauty if it were the former, but if it was the latter, I don’t mind praising you. Wait, you look... injured...?"

He narrowed his eyes before his eyes went wide, "Don’t tell me it’s that bastard again!?"

That man lowered his head even more as he completely kneeled, "Infernal Lord Hellstorm, I failed to capture or kill that brat since Ezekiel Alstreim that bastard, caused my attacks to dissipate in an instant. It took me most of my blood essence to escape from his grasp. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even be able to report this matter to you, my lord."

"Sigh..." Infernal Lord Hellstorm let out an annoyed sigh as he raised his head, "You’ve gotta be kidding me... It was a rare chance to make them pay for what they’ve done to us, and yet you managed to let that kid get away like the last time you let that injured man and woman escape from our grasp around sixty years ago."

"Thinking back, that Alstreim woman was a voluptuous beauty, making me still dream of her once in a while..."

The man trembled as he kneeled, "Infernal Lord Hellstorm! I promise that I would work hard for you! As long as I, Sak- AH!!!!!"

He grabbed his head and began to scream before he trembled and began to hit his face on the hard surface!

Infernal Lord Hellstorm raised his hand toward the man as he smiled in derision, "You failed me twice, and yet you give excuses? Even though I’m magnanimously giving all the people here twice the chance, they all dare to disappoint me, and to those people who disappoint me, they don’t need to live."

"Infernal Lord, please!~~~" The man screamed as he began to roll around on the floor.

However, the Infernal Lord merely smiled before he snapped his fingers. A burst of red lightning erupted from the man’s forehead as it split the head into two while the soul ended up shattering like a star that had exploded! Blood splattered on the ground, making the Infernal Lord heave a moan of satisfaction.

The people behind the dead man began to tremble as they subconsciously began to lower their heads. Their lower body that was standing tall from the earlier scene had gone numb in fear before they shrunk back like the cowards they were, making them aware that they were under a tyrant’s rule after so much time had passed in boredom and monotony.

They were actually higher-ups of the Infernal Lightning Palace among the people present here, but they possessed less authority in front of the Infernal Lord.

In the Infernal Lightning Palace, Infernal Lord was a title given to the characters who were capable of entering the Law Rune Stage in a mere five hundred years. This man known as Varl Hellstorm was precisely given this title around two hundred years ago, where he decided to enter the Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago during the expedition to collect resources but ended up being stranded in this sealed space instead.

Before him, they were ruling in the same authoritative and oppressive manner, but after him, everything changed as he became the sole ruler, the sole Emperor in this sealed space. He was already near to the peak, and since two hundred years have passed, they knew he was at the very peak of the Law Sea Stage, just lacking an impetus to breakthrough.

Nevertheless, they were unable to beat him in the beginning due to his prowess that would even let him withstand a single attack from a Law Rune Stage Powerhouse, so how could they beat him now? Moreover, they were all slave seal’ed like the dead man lying in his own pool of blood, making them unable to retaliate even if they had wanted to!

"We are all slaves, and Infernal Lord Varl Hellstorm is the sole Emperor of this place!"

Abruptly, they chanted as they raised their heads before bowing all the way to the ground in a submissive manner.

"Good, good, very good! This makes my considerate feelings a bit better..."

Infernal Lord Varl Hellstorm sat back on his throne as he lazed around with a satisfied smile on his face while the people kneeling didn’t know what to do as they weren’t permitted to stand up or leave. In the deafening silence, it felt like their lives could be reaped with a snap of Infernal Lord Varl Hellstorm’s fingers. It made them stand on the edge even though they were in a submissive, resting position.

"It’s kinda boring here... and I really lack the motivation to breakthrough since we haven’t found a way to exit this damned space, so can anyone entertain me?" Infernal Lord Varl Hellstorm voiced out his thoughts as he lay listlessly on his chair, "If not, I’m going back to pleasure my harem..."

He stood up and cracked his neck with his palms, "I’m a caring man, indeed..."

Just when he took the first step...

*Booom!~~*

*Booom!~~*

*Booom!~~*

A multitude of explosions rang out throughout the city, causing him and everyone present to be taken aback while a scream rang out from outside.

"What’s happening!? Don’t tell me that bastard is here!?" Infernal Lord Varl Hellstorm screamed while a faint amount of fear was present in his eyes.

"Impossible, we have scouts at all places!" One of the slaves stood up and echoed, "It is probably those rebellious bastards who can no longer bear to live under Infernal Lord Varl Hellstorm’s magnanimous rule and decided to self-destruct out of jealousy in retaliation!"

The Infernal Lord Varl Hellstorm seemed visibly taken aback before he gave a lukewarm smile, "You know what? You’ll be given a beauty from my harem for you to enjoy tonight since you’re so considerate..."

The slave who heard that couldn’t help but tremble as he deeply bowed, "Thank you, my lord!"

"But before that, get down to it. See who dares to make trouble for me and execute the people who belong to their faction mercilessly and publically..." Infernal Lord Varl Hellstorm’s eyes flashed with a cold light.

"Understood!" The slave’s nose was high as he stood in an attentive manner, but suddenly, a man came dashing into the throne hall, his face etched with horror and fear.

"Infernal Lord! Help, there’s a strange magical beast attacking us!!!"

"Magical Beast?" Infernal Lord Varl Hellstorm couldn’t help but scoff, "Do you think we’re all fools? We all don’t sense a single magical beast and yet-"

His voice suddenly caught in his throat as he saw that person’s head disappear while blood began to splash like a fountain from the neck.

At that moment, everyone had a single thought echoing in their minds.

’Where’s the head?’

"The magical beast!!!"

Infernal Lord Varl Hellstorm screamed and shot above as he penetrated the roof as his Law Sea Stage red lightning blazed into existence as it put a hole on the roof. It allowed him and many others to escape in an instant, but some of them seemed to not make it as screams of fear could be heard inside the strangely red, crimson palace.

"What was that...?" Infernal Lord Varl Hellstorm had just uttered when he suddenly noticed that there was a black-robed and hooded man standing before him.

"Greetings, my lord. I’ve heard that you were tired of living, so I came to relieve you of your boredom by doing the wonderful deed of taking your life away from you."

"Who are you?-" The Infernal Lord Varl Hellstorm asked, his hand cautiously moved as he made his move to kill this strange person.

Red lightning blazed out of fingers in a secretive manner, but then he suddenly felt like he had lost sight of everything before his train of thought completely stopped.

His body simply fell amidst the bunch of slaves looking at the black-robed man in horror before their eyes also simultaneously appeared dull before they began to fall towards the ground as if they were puppets that had their strings cut.

A magical beast momentarily manifested out of the void as a dark light flashed.

"Master, I only managed to kill eighty of them... You’re too fast..." Nadia uttered as she turned to her human form, her bosoms shaking as she breathed hard.

’I’m basically cheating...’ Was what Davis would like to say, but he confidently uttered, "Remember who your master is..."

Nadia’s golden eyes flashed as she echoed, "Master is the strongest human in the world!"

"I would like you to add ’will be the strongest’ there..." Davis couldn’t help but laugh, "I’m not to that point yet..."

"Even so, to kill thousands of eighth stage experts while using that powerful and untraceable technique of yours, it’s the very peak of dark prowess I could imagine...!" Nadia’s eyes couldn’t help but glow with the fervor that she couldn’t help but feel strange in her lower body.

Last time, she had seen him take down many Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apes, but this time, it was utterly incomprehensible as he took them down one by one, second by second that left her completely out of breath in order to compete till the last second.

They didn’t plan for it, but it had become like that, causing her to run out of breath!

Davis couldn’t help but laugh as he patted her head in satisfaction. He couldn’t help but agree that she looked like a kid who had found its new toy, her eyes sparkling in fervor while looking at him. However, he didn’t know that a strange desire, an urge, was trying to take over her at this moment.

Nadia clenched her fists as if suppressing something before she smilingly relaxed without a change in expression.

"Come on, help me loot so many spatial rings..." Davis uttered as he flew down to the dots of dead bodies all over the place.
