Chapter 1711 - Collective Strength

"You magical beasts sure do show some fine hospitality that I didn"t expect."

Davis"s lips curved into one of satisfaction.

Compared to dealing with the righteous leaders, he found the magical beast women, who seemed to know how to speak surprisingly much more polite to talk to, which in turn increased his likeability towards them and removed his bad mood from hunting down these cowards.

Everlight merely nodded with a pleasant smile before she commanded one of her clan wolves to bring the Sultry Midnight Tree Fruit that"s at Mid-Level Emperor Grade, but its value was at High-Level Emperor Grade due to its effects and rarity, meaning that it could be as much as a hundred million Peak-Level Spirit Stones!

Such a fruit was gifted to Davis without even wanting him to pay a spirit stone for it, and that spoke volumes about his current influence and striking reputation.

At the moment, even Isabella was looking at him with pa.s.sionate eyes before her expression turned cold as she returned her gaze to the bound Grand Elder.

"Ragnar Zlatan, I killed your brother who escaped to the Scarlet Tyrant Hawk Abode Territory. He was caught, just like you."

Isabella raised her hands as a spatial ring appeared above her index finger as she swirled it for him to see..

"..."

Ragnar Zlatan"s eyes shook before he shook his head.

"Please... please spare me... I can"t die... I will become an immortal..."

"Oh? An immortal slave?" Isabella"s lips curved, "That seems tempting..."

Ragnar Zlatan"s body shuddered as his expression became frightened.

Was he going to be enslaved just like this?

The vines restricting him had their paralyzing poison injected in him, rendering him paralyzed that he could only use his soul to escape. However, the moment he left his soul, he knew he was a goner from the Emperor of Death"s soul force or the plethora of magical beasts who blocked his path from nowhere, surrounded him, and tied him up after a minute-long struggle.

Therefore, the only way for him to survive was to become a slave!

"He"s faking his terrified appearance. He"s actually happy to become your slave..."

Davis spoke at this moment, causing Isabella to smile further.

"That much is visible as I see the light in his eyes still hasn"t lost hope..."

"...!?"

Ragnar Zlatan"s eyes widened as he panicked, "No...! Please! I"m willing to become your slave. Please don"t kill- Ahhh!!!"

*Crack!~*

At this moment, a cracking sound echoed as Isabella stepped on his chest and fractured his ribs, forcing him to lie down as he spat out a mouthful of blood from the organs rocking in his body.

"Let me join too."

Davis flew right above them before he landed right beside Ragnar Zlatan and stomped his left hand.

*Splat!~*

"Ahhhh!!!"

Ragnar Zlatan released a miserable cry as he shook his head in pain. The bones on his left hand cracked and shredded the flesh as they ricocheted out from his hand as blood splattered the ground. His left hand was essentially stomped to death as only a b.l.o.o.d.y silhouette of it remained.

"Say, do you Dragon Family Powerhouses enjoying taking other"s wives? I was curious and merely asked the All-Seeing Emperor before I came to know that you have twelve women outside your clan, and five of them are actually wives to other men, cuckolding actual powerhouses. What great clandestine affairs you have there..."

"No... I... Those are lies..."

"Maybe I should ask Maroon Breeze Abode"s Abode Master and his fourth wife, no? They"re nearby..." Davis forced a smile, "I mean, if we go back a little bit and turn west, we can see them, and your little lover you meet in the woods every few years should also be there too. If not, you can always call her out like you always do."

"...!?"

Ragnar Zlatan shuddered as he heard these words from Davis.

How the h.e.l.l did he know!? n.o.body should"ve been aware of his affairs! Could it be that he was really caught by someone who then sold that information to the All-Seeing Tower?

The only ones he could think of were those d.a.m.n wicked path a.s.sa.s.sins lurking around almost everywhere.

*Bang!~*

"Ahhhh!!!"

Blood splattered as his miserable and painful voice echoed again. He turned to look towards his right and saw the Earth Dragon Queen stomp his right hand to smithereens. Both of his hands were now essentially crippled, leaving him unable to form or shape any battle techniques that use his arms. He could only use his legs to attack and defend, but those looked as if they were going to be crushed at any moment at this rate.

*Bang!~*

Another scream echoed, but contrary to his expectations, this time, his wrists were flattened. However, they did not stop. They squashed his elbows, moved to his muscles, and crushed it, leaving him with a mangled mess that no longer looked like arms but two sticks of sugarcane whose sugar essence was extracted.

Blood seeped out as it stained the surface of the platform before the Territory Gate. The magical beasts did nothing but watch, taking satisfaction in the misery of Ragnar Zlatan for no other reason other than he was a human. Some even drooled as they inhaled the smell of his blood, wanting to drink it.

It wasn"t every day they got to see the blood of a human as rich and nutritional as this, much less get to eat it.

Isabella appeared wrathful as she stomped on Ragnar Zlatan with rage, but unlike her, Davis noticed their hunger. Even he felt like letting those magical beasts devour this coward alive, but due to Isabella"s words of wanting to execute him publically, he flicked his finger, and his soul force covered Ragnar Zlatan, pulling him up to mid-air.

Now, even if he wanted to, he would find it extremely difficult to self-destruct, although it was doubtful to say if he had such courage in the first place.

"No... no... no..."

At the same time as he began to mumble in reluctance and fright, the wolf who went to retrieve an item returned back, giving it to Everlight, who then gave a jade container to Davis as she boldly stood in front of him.

Davis received it from her hand as he reached out both hands.

"I accept this gift. Later, I will send word if I want to buy more."

"We will be waiting." Everlight beamed with a pleasant smile, "After all, establis.h.i.+ng ties with a peak powerhouse like your eminence is what we do to stay relevant and survive in this world."

"You"re quite charismatic. I like it."

"I thank you for your valuable praise, Emperor of Death."

Everlight retreated two steps back as she clasped her hands and bowed.

Davis kept opening the container and saw the football-size blood-red fruit that appeared like an apple. He blinked before he sealed the jade container and stored it inside his spatial ring.

He clenched his hand, making sure to suppress Ragnar Zlatan"s soul to the maximum degree before he re-entered the Territory Gate with Isabella.

The moment their figures disappeared into the Territory Gate, the smiling Everlight"s expression receded as she shuddered ever so lightly.

"That was... oppressive..." She sighed as she placed her hand over her bosoms, "What in the heavens is that? Is that the aura of Death Laws? I"ve never felt so scared in my entire smile that I had to stupidly smile to hide it..."

Perhaps, because she was a light-attributed magical beast, her fear towards Death Laws was more significant than any other magical beast in this place. However, she faced him bravely since they figured he might be kind to wolves since he had a queenly wolf himself.

Now that she had seen the Emperor of Death, the feeling of wanting to see the fabled wicked wolf nearly died. She didn"t want to be near such a wolf as it is possible that she would be completely suppressed.

"The Emperor of Death doesn"t seem like those wicked path people, does he?"

A two-tailed cat appeared beside Everlight and placed its paw on her shoulder.

"Certainly not..."

Everlight shook her head before she turned to look at the others.

"Everyone, what should we do? Truly form ties with this new peak powerhouse, or do we abandon contacting him unless contacted?"

"As always, we"ll follow the words of the kind and benevolent Light Sky Wolf since we owe a huge debt to your ancestors!"

"Yes, we"ll follow Beauty Everlight for an eternity!"

"..."

Everlight pursed her lips before she raised her head, rolling her eyes at the Calamity Light that came to haunt the world and give her more burden as their leader. They always survived by unifying their power, so she mused that it would be the same this time. However, the calamity this time seemed riskier and dangerous, making her heart feel deeply worried.

"Perhaps, teaming up with one of the overbearing hegemons is the only way to survive this ordeal..."

Everlight looked worried as she lowered her gaze.

After all, what did collective power amount to in front of absolute power?
