Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 1365 Zephya

"What... What is this energy...?"

Sultry Cloudburst Tempest Wisp’s hazy body turned hazier as her melodious voice echoed out as if she was fearful of the unknown.

Natalya and Fiora also felt a tremble in their hearts that they did not dare to turn to look at Davis. Instead, they saw pitch-black energy surround them before it stopped advancing but waving in the air without a single ripple in its undulations.

The sound of gulping could be heard from the two women while the man spoke.

"Zephya, are we clear?"

"..."

"Human... I..." The Sultry Cloudburst Tempest Wisp seemed to be a loss for words as it kept trembling. She did not understand how the human could’ve possibly known her name and demanded that she was to be called Zephya from now on when it was already her name.

She felt that this person with lipstick marks all over his face was extremely mysterious and terrifying!

"Zephya, I will give you two choices since you’re still hesitating. This is a cruel world, and you possess a resource that I desire, so I’m going to forcefully plunder it from you by erasing your Will if you refuse."

Davis’s voice resounded coldly.

"In other words, I’m going to kill you."

"...!"

The Sultry Cloudburst Tempest Wisp kept trembling on hearing each word of his, even appearing afraid to retreat or attack even while she was absolutely free from bounds.

"However, we can come to an agreement. You help Fiora here comprehend Wind Laws while serving her purpose while she helps you grow into an Emperor Grade Wind Elemental, or perhaps, even higher. We both tend to gain out of this agreement, or you can lose your life by choosing to refuse."

"Now, choose..."

Hearing Davis’s words, the Sultry Cloudburst Tempest Wisp stopped shaking, seemingly looking at the human as her cloudy eyes that did not truly have a form watched him in scrutiny.

"Human, I do not fear death..."

After what seemed to be a long while, but only four seconds had passed, Zephya replied, causing Davis to smile in interest. His lips moved, wanting to reply. However...

"But, I also do not want to die. I am willing to accept the agreement under one condition, and that is for you to all treat me with respect!"

Zephya’s melodious voice boomed out, seemingly seething with a sign of majestic charm.

However, while looking at her trembling movements instead of the previous, carefree movements of her hazy body, Davis couldn’t help but find her amusing, knowing that she was trying to hide her fear.

"You seem to be misunderstanding something..." He replied in a laughing tone, "I told you to take Fiora as your master, and that would mean that you would give respect to her, not the other way around. It seems like... you want to die?"

Davis’s pitch-black death-like energy abruptly shot forwards, making Zephya’s hazy body scatter before it formed a few meters away.

"Wait...!"

Her voice echoed with panic, causing Davis to stop as his death-like energy stopped halfway.

The trembling Zephya’s expression was not clear as there were no features on her face except those greenish cloudy eyes, shapely nose, and visible lips. Only her wide eyes and agape lips made it capable of knowing that she was struck with fear again.

The soul force undulations that were almost at the Peak-Level King Soul Stage left her reeling in vertigo as she knew that she would be erased with a single strike from this man. He literally had her by her smoky green throat!

"Fine... I accept..." Zephya finally relented, but she still sounded reluctant.

Davis’s cold expression faded, replaced with a satisfied smile.

"Don’t worry. You’ll have your due respect if you keep helping Fiora comprehend while listening to her words. You also have nothing to lose by staying with us as humans will not try to kill you haphazardly for the danger you pose to us or try to trap you and kill you for taking advantage of the wind attribute source in your body."

"I see... Then, I’m relieved..."

Zephya nodded, her hazy yet curvy body shrinking into a miniature-sized wisp. Her actions showed that she had no intent to fight as she revealed her main energy body.

Davis waved his hand lightly, and the pitch-black energy receded into his body as the ominous atmosphere faded. Only then could the breathing sounds be heard along with Zephya’s breeze, whooshing throughout the room.

Natalya and Fiora had their smiles frozen even though they had regained their composure.

What was this conversation?

Threatening? Coercion? Placation?

Was this too high-level for them to understand, or was this too much of a low-level that they could understand what was happening, but they did not dare to believe that it happened!?

If something like the stick and the carrot worked against Spirit Attribute Sources, they wouldn’t have so much trouble in taming one!

However, they did understand one thing, that is, this pitch-black energy that struck fear in their hearts had also struck fear in this Wind Elemental, perhaps even more deeply because it was directed at her and not them.

While they slowly realized the hint of prowess their husband held, Zephya slowly neared Davis as she kept an eye on him. However, her focus was on the dumbfounded human.

"Fiora, was it? I accept you as my master." Zephya’s voice resounded out. However, it was rather commanding, causing Davis to frown as he shot a cold look at her.

"Ah~ Master Fiora, I am your servant. Please look after me..."

Davis nodded his head, feeling that this was more like it. He wanted to be nice, but being nice never seemed to move people, did it?

Fiora’s lips twitched as she saw the scene before her. The little wisp radiated a powerful aura that intimidated her, but under her man’s gaze, it actually cowered. Pride welled up in her heart as she smiled.

"Zephya, was it?"

Fiora placed her hand on her bosoms.

"I accept you as my servant. You shall serve me with Wind Laws Comprehension day and night, whenever I require it and come to my aid whenever I need it. Before all this, you shall promise to not harm me under any circumstances. If you swear to uphold these three conditions, then I will treat you with the respect you deserve."

Davis blinked his eyes at Fiora’s words.

Was she impersonating a hero or a heroine from a book she liked?

Her mannerisms and bearings were totally not childish!

The little wisp’s eyes narrowed as she looked at Fiora before her lips curved into an odd smile.

"You’re not bad, hu- Master. I’ll bestow you with comprehension of three laws if that is what you desire. I obviously will not harm you. Otherwise, I know my life is forfeit as long as this man is alive."

Fiora’s smile became prominent, "I thought that you were pure beings incapable of thought, but who would’ve known you are not only talkative but clever."

"Hmph! It is you humans who are fools!"

"What did you say?"

"Nothing, master..."

Zephya turned her head away, looking rather cute while Fiora looked amused, but inwardly, she was totally bewildered because this wasn’t the image she had imagined if there ever came a time that she interacted with a Wind Elemental.

Davis couldn’t help but chuckle as he sent a soul transmission.

"Fiora, it is said that Wind Elementals are one of the coziest and accomodating towards humans other than Water Essences and Light Elementals. They sometimes blend in with the wind to listen to the world, and that naturally includes humans whom they have taken a good interest in all these years, from ancient times for all we know perhaps. Of course, some are vile, but most of them are just nature lovers where they roam around the world or stay in one place to grow."

"In particular, Zephya had probably listened to the conversations of a lot of humans in her travels before being captured by the Alstreims. Furthermore, it was written in the description that she would not attack unless attacked, so it is unlikely for her to attack now that we have established a relationship."

"Make use of her comprehension bestowal every time you can, but also don’t forget to treat her with respect like you said. In terms of intelligence and emotions, they are not inferior to us, but their thought process can differ, so be careful. If you have trouble, just think that she is your magical beast pet."

Fiora received a few soul transmissions in two seconds, causing her to look at Davis and produce a heavy nod. In summary, she understood that her future was tied to this Wind Elemental.

She looked at Zephya’s tiny face and uttered, "Enter my dantian. I’ll feed you with my wind energy, and although it may be insufficient, I’m confident that I can feed you until your stomach gets full in the near future."

Zephya looked taken aback, not expecting her master to be accomodating to her. She narrowed her eyes as her lips curved at the next moment in interest.

"I’m looking forward to it, Master."

======

Davis walked out of the cultivation chamber after two short hours.

Inside the cultivation chamber, Fiora was cultivating peacefully while being aided by her elder sister Natalya if anything dangerous were to pop up.

Of course, they both were people who could not match the Sultry Cloudburst Tempest Wisp’s prowess, but with Davis completely scaring her to obey his words through fear before managing to make her accept the agreement of words, he felt that it was unlikely a neutral Wind Elemental would harm them.

Nevertheless, he was still cautious and helped Fiora suppress the initial process of integrating the Wind Elemental into Fiora’s dantian. The overwhelming energy almost caused Fiora to spit a mouthful of blood from the circulation speed increasing without her consent. Still, she kept it on hold with Davis’s help while comprehending the very first bestowal of Wind Laws Zephya granted her.

Soon, she directly comprehended Level Two Intent before comprehending Level Three Intent in an hour and a half, causing both Davis and Natalya to rejoice in her stead. Then after half an hour, the intensity was already at a low point as Zephya had used up most of her energy to cause Fiora to also step into the Peak-Level Law Seed Stage, almost reaching the peak.

Feeling that there was no need to fear Zephya at this point while also looking at the three of their long lifespans, Davis nodded in assurance and left.

He made it to Edgar Alstreim’s house in the Purple Guest Palace and reached out his hands to knock on the door, but before his hands could reach, the door opened as a beautiful face with a joyful smile came into his view.

"Big brother, you’re here as you said you would!"
