Chapter 105

"This is child"s play for me! Merely with my restricted power level, it will take a long time to erase those chains . " The crisp voice echoed as if it was dissatisfied, "As for side effects, there are none!"

"How long will it take?" Davis got excited for a moment before he gritted his teeth and asked . If it took a year, then he was determined to reveal his secret to his mother so that he could continue to remove the seal without making her go unconscious .

No matter what, he felt that his mother would in no way betray him .

After a moment, it replied, "A day . . . "

"A day? I got it . . . " Davis nodded his head for a moment, then suddenly felt that something was not right .

"Hmm? A day!? Only a day?" His eyes widened in disbelief .

"More or less! Hmph! If my powers weren"t sealed, then it wouldn"t even take me a millisecond to erase this seal!"

Davis floated there stunned . He couldn"t fathom what kind of existence this Death Note was in this universe .

"Didn"t you say that you unsealed yourself after a billion years of being sealed in that mini world?" Davis couldn"t help but ask . His voice tinged with curiosity towards this anomaly .

"Kid, what I managed to unseal was the seal that restricted my freedom . My powers are still sealed, and it is difficult to unseal it by myself . Luckily, I merged with your soul . The stronger your soul becomes, the weaker my seal gets . "

"Is this why you stayed with me?" Davis narrowed his eyes .

"Hehe, you could say that!" It replied as it laughed .

Davis heaved a sigh of relief . Now that he knew that both were benefiting from this partners.h.i.+p, he could stop doubting it all the time . He believed as long as he could provide it with some benefits, it will continue to be with him .

"Then let"s get started!"

Suddenly, the soul strand he inserted into Claire"s soul sea, turned incredibly dark as if it turned malicious .

Black gaseous substance oozed out from the soul strand as it approached the seal in an eerie manner .

Davis who watched that couldn"t help but feel cold .

"Are you evil?" He involuntarily asked .

There was a moment of silence, "Evil? I don"t know . But if you were to judge me by your human standards, then I have to say that I"m incomparably evil than any existence in the universe . After all, people only used me to kill, kill and kill . " A reply sounded out in his mind, causing Davis to enter into a moment of contemplation .

He quickly shook his head and concentrated on eradicating that seal . The Death Note provided him with dark evil energy while he guided it to the seal slowly .

The dark gaseous substance made contact with the seal and started to corrode it as it spread around the chains evenly . Sizzling sounds sounded out as the chains started to melt and disappear .

"Hmm? Boy, l forgot to include your soul prowess in my calculations . Looks like it won"t even take half a day to erase this seal . " It was just a few seconds, but it was able to immediately notice the difference in the speed of erasing that seal .

Hearing that, Davis smirked, feeling proud of himself .

Time pa.s.sed as he concentrated hard to melt the chains surrounding the blob of light .

Just when he melted the last connecting chain, the white blob of light trembled for a moment before scattering around the soul sea .

The chains that extended to the horizons disappeared as if it was never there in the first place .

"Is this a success?" Davis asked as he looked around the empty s.p.a.ce .

"Should be . . . " It replied .

He nodded his head and disappeared from the soul sea .

. . .

Davis shuddered as he opened his eyes . He removed his finger from his mother"s glabella and hurriedly checked her state .

Claire was drenched in sweat, and her eyebrows were narrowed while her breathing was rapid .

Davis hurriedly grabbed her hands and woke her up, "Mom! Wake up! It"s me! Davis!"

Claire still had her eyes closed, not at all responding to his call .

"Use your soul to startle her awake . " The crisp voice echoed in his mind .

Davis quickly used his soul to shout into her mind, "Mom!"

Claire opened her eyes as she immediately woke up and tried to catch her breath in a hurried manner .

"Mom, what had happened?" Davis asked worriedly . Even though it said that there will be no side-effects, he couldn"t help but be worried .

After catching her breath, Claire looked at her son and tried to smile, "Nothing happened, it"s just I was stuck in a nightmare . " Claire replied and looked at her clothes which was drenched by her sweat .

"Wait here, mom will clean up in a few minutes . " She caressed his cheeks, stood up and headed to the bath .

"Hmm . " Davis acknowledged and saw her heading to the bath .

Claire opened the door to the bath and went inside as she closed the door .

"Hey!" Davis shouted furiously in his mind .

"That is not a side-effect of the removal of the seal . It is merely the side-effect of using my powers in her soul sea . Didn"t she tell you that she had a nightmare? Calm down . " It replied, causing him to make sense of the situation .

"Using your powers on someone"s soul can cause nightmares?" He asked doubtfully,

"My power is aligned with death . Why don"t you think about it? Besides, the soul is a miraculous ent.i.ty . Even if anything untoward were to happen to it, you wouldn"t be able to find a reason for it unless you are well versed in the understanding of the soul!"

Davis took in its words as he got tired . There were simply too many things that he didn"t know about or couldn"t understand in this world .

He stood up and went towards the cradle . He stood in front of it and whispered, "Compared to your sisters, I spent very little time with you . Hope you don"t hate me for it, little brother . "

He warmly touched Edward"s cheeks as he caressed it .

"Big brother is sorry, by the time you are self-aware, big-brother would have already left for a different place . In those times, I hope that you will take care of our parents and sisters . "

"Uwuu . . . "

A cute noise sounded out as if the baby was acknowledging his words .

As of now, Edward Loret, the second prince of the Loret Empire, was just a year old .
