Chapter 42

Davis learned a few Battle Techniques before, that uses his Soul Cultivation . They were known as Dark Concealing Shroud Art, Soul Suppression Art, Sacred Mark Art, and Unholy Brand Art .

Dark Concealing Shroud Art is a Low Level Sky Grade Battle Technique . It is used to conceal a person"s presence, energy and soul aura using soul energy . It"s power exhaustion is minimum, especially in the night . Davis would have been only able to use this Battle Technique if he had cultivated in a dark attributed Soul Cultivation method, and fortunately, he had his Death Note which emits dark and evil energy .

Soul Suppression Art, is a Peak Level Earth Grade Technique . It suppresses the target"s soul . If the target is weaker than the user, then the target will not be able to move at all . If the target is stronger than the user, then it will provide a suppression effect depending on the target"s cultivation level .

When Davis found these two Battle Techniques, the Sacred Mark Art and the Unholy Brand Art, he was shocked . This was a technique that can be used to brand a person"s soul, making that person into a Soul Slave .

Even though the name Sacred Mark Art sounds righteous, it was no different than Unholy Brand Art . These two Battle Techniques needs a person to cultivate either light attributed or dark attributed Soul Cultivation Technique respectively .

Davis decided to train in both since he has both the light and dark attributes .

… . . .

"There are many other Battle Techniques as well, but once you learn all these by yourself, even if you learn other techniques, it may not be much useful . "

"So what you are doing when you are in my study is, secretly practice it . Now memorize these techniques . I"ll stay here looking around . "

"Is it truly ok? If I get caught, you will be the one facing trouble…while I might possibly die . "

"It"s really fine . Even if someone got a complaint, it will have to go through my father . My father is the only problem though . Well, I"ll handle it at that time . " Davis casually replied .

"Is he thinking that he is above everyone else in the Empire?" Though she was really happy and thankful towards Davis, she couldn"t help but think that if he is an idiot .

Davis would vomit blood if he knew what she was thinking right now .

They stayed at the Library for a few hours .

Davis saw many miscellaneous Battle Techniques . He took liking to some of them and memorized for training in them later . For example, the Family Disabling Palm, which is aimed at one"s kidney . It immediately ruins a person"s ability to use his ding dong and renders it useless .

Another one is Meridian Crippling Palm, which cripples the Essence Gathering Cultivation of the target if one is able to successfully sever the meridians .

Davis got really interested as he thought of using the Family Disabling Palm on his father, but after a moment of contemplation, he thought that it was too cruel to his mother so he let go his evil idea .

But still, he decided to learn this techniques as it might be quite useful in this world .

As he just finished memorizing those Battle Techniques, he went to look for Ellia .

Just as he saw Ellia, he was surprised .

"Davis told you learn here you say?" A little kid about 5 years old with a cold gaze questioned .

"Yes, Prince Davis told me to learn Battle Techniques which he recommended personally . " Ellia looked left and right, waiting for the arrival of Davis .

Once she caught sight of him, she shouted .

"Prince Davis!" "Brother!"

They then both looked at each other .

"Haha, Clara, I was just about to visit you . "

"Hmph, you didn"t visit me for a week . "

"How could I? Didn"t mother take you to tour around the Royal Capital for a week?"

"Yes!" Clara"s face brightened up .

After that event, the relations.h.i.+p between Clara and her parents got normal again . The true reason they brought her out was to not let Clara find out about Davis"s punishment or else things would rather turn awkward between them again .

Davis also didn"t tell about that to Clara as he had a tacit understanding with his mother . He didn"t want to create problems either .

"Good! Come, let me introduce you to my personal maid, Ellia . " Davis patted her head .

"Ellia, this is the First Princess, Clara Loret, my little sister . "

"Ellia pays her respects to the First Princess . " She bowed down gracefully and smiled .

"Personal Maid? No wonder she would say that you told her to learn here . " Clara nodded her head in understanding .

"But that doesn"t warrant a maid learning our Sky Grade Battle Techniques, let alone stepping into the Castle Library . And the way she calls you Prince Davis, it"s almost as if she is acting . " Clara narrowed her eyes and gazed at Ellia like a hawk eyeing it"s prey .

Ellia"s smile froze and looked at Davis for help .

"Such accuracy! Scary!" Davis thought . She only heard a single time but managed to see the deceit in it .

"Haha, that"s my sister, honestly you have the potential to become a detective but I won"t talk about that right now . You see, Ellia is my friend and she calls me Davis . "

"A friend? Not a maid?"

"Both…"

"What!? Which is first?" Clara looked at Ellia and asked with anger .

"Huh… I am a maid, then a friend . " Ellia answered truthfully . She had no idea but thought that she should not lie to this person .

"Brother! She seduced you!" Clara shouted, stood in front of Davis and blocked him from Ellia .

"Eh? Isn"t that the opposite?" Ellia cried mentally .

Davis facepalmed .

"This is gonna be an headache . "

"Erm… Clara, it was I who told Ellia to call me Davis . I wanted her to become my friend you see…"

"How can a royalty lower oneself to be friends with a maid? Brother, this is atrocious and disgraceful!" Clara looked at Davis and shouted furiously .

Ellia put her head down in shame . Her official ident.i.ty still was a maid .

"Ah my life as a personal maid is going to end, probably even my life . " Ellia thought ruefully and was a little scared of separating away from Davis .
