Chapter 1808: Evernight s.p.a.ce

"You two…"

Iesha witnessed them cuddling and couldn"t help but pout, "You two didn"t do anything indecent, did you?"

"Of course not." Davis chuckled before he raised his brows, "So, did you find anything?"

Iesha nodded with a smile as she pointed in a direction, "One of them could be a few thousand kilometers that way."

"Woah, the Spirit Ancestral Ground had this information and didn"t go kill whoever it was?"

Iesha couldn"t help but blink at Davis"s question.

"Davis, it"s difficult to kill spirits at that level as you did. Most of the time, they just sneak away or flee and cause wanton destruction to the surroundings in order to stop the ones pursuing them. The Spirit Ancestral Ground wouldn"t confront those kinds of spirits unless they were actively harming people."

"Alright, what kind of spirit are we going to deal with now?"

"A female darkness spirit going by the t.i.tle Nightveil. She is a Dynastic Evernight Phantasm who came from the Hades Sp.a.w.n Abyss and has ma.s.sacred plenty of spirits in her dark veil world that she summons and actively hunts down light-attributed spirits. She also has a group of fanatical followers who follows her commands to the end of the sentence."

Davis"s eyes widened, "Look at that. We found resources for Mo Mingzhi and me already."

"Dynastic Evernight Phantasm Wisp? Isn"t that ranked fourth in Emperor Grade Darkness Elemental Charts?"

Natalya asked in surprise, to which Davis nodded.

"Indeed, she"s probably more powerful than Zen Ravager, who"s ranked sixth in Fire Essence Charts."

"It was said that the Dynastic Evernight Phantasm Spirits were once the ruler of the Hades Sp.a.w.n Abyss. However, I don"t know much about it..."

Iesha shrugged before Davis smiled, "It doesn"t matter if she is an imperial spirit like Iesha. Take me to her."

She nodded before she led the way.

They traveled in a straight direction, but they had already traveled around seventy thousand kilometers. When they almost got to the last seen spot of their target, Davis made them stop before he spoke.

"You two should go hide somewhere."

Natalya and Iesha nodded before they rapidly left. 

On the other hand, Davis used the Waning Twilight Phantasm Steps and disappeared in a ghastly manner. He flew towards the distance for a thousand kilometers before arriving in front of a cave that led to the underground.

Davis entered it without hesitation and flew into the tunnels. He had to maneuver so many tunnels that led deep into the underground before he discovered a s.p.a.ce covered in pitch-black darkness.

The eerie silence was blaring, and even with his eyes, he couldn"t see anything beyond a few meters, making him wonder if her ultimate spirit technique was already active or it was just her aura that oozed out and created this dark s.p.a.ce. However, if she did this on purpose, he felt that it was ingenious of her to use the dark underground environment to her advantage, although it might just be natural for her to stay in dark places.

Still, he braved the danger and went inside to find the Dynastic Evernight Phantasm Spirit.

After entering the dark s.p.a.ce, his eyes slightly adjusted, and he began to see the edges and outlines of the cave. He didn"t use his soul sense because he wanted to kill the spirit in one move and be done with it. Otherwise, it was entirely possible that the darkness spirit would be able to find him as Zen Ravager did.

With his cautious eyes gleaming in search, he slowly treaded forwards for some time, coming to know that this underground cave was quite long, perhaps even wide. Suddenly, it became narrow, making him feel like he was going to find her inside.

Without making even the slightest sound or movements that caused undulations to spread, he went past the narrow entrance and arrived inside as the sensation of narrowness died, leaving him feeling that it was a wide cave again.

"Is there multiple complexes or something?"

Davis was getting impatient as he was already slow in his pace. It appeared more like an underground highway than a simple base at the moment to him.

"…!"

However, his scalp turned numb when he quickly sensed something behind approaching his way.

*Ripp!~*

Davis flipped his body towards the back. His hand was almost caught between a curved blade that pa.s.sed through him as it phased out with his eerie movement technique. He saw that it was a black scythe that attacked him, but with a twist of his legs, he rushed towards the sides and disappeared again.

"You think you"re capable of being sneaky in front of me?"

"s.h.i.+t… Nightveil almost severed my hands..."

Davis did not retreat as he came to understand that it was useless to use his Waning Twilight Phantasm Steps but regained his balance as he looked at the figure in front of him who cornered him as she smiled. 

Long black hair flowed down till her waist, and some strands even laid freely on her shoulders. She possessed pale-gray skin like an undead but still managed to look extremely beautiful to Davis, wearing black robes that partly revealed a bit of cleavage. One of her long grayish-pale legs was also visible through the edge of her skirt, exuding boundless charm as well as a regal look as Iesha even though she didn"t possess a crown on her head.

"A human…?" Suddenly, Nightveil uttered in confusion as her melodious voice entered his ears. 

Davis was absolutely dumbstruck but not because of her voice or anything but at the fact that her karmic sin was not even half a meter tall.

"Whatever, since you came, leave your life behind."

Nightveil"s voice sounded out with part anger and part exasperation.

"Wait… it"s a misunderstanding."

Davis felt embarra.s.sed to use this line twice, but as usual, it wasn"t heeded.

*Whoos.h.!.+~*

Darkness swept towards before that turned into a sharp sweep, making it look as if almost cut s.p.a.ce in half.

*Boom!~*

The s.p.a.ce really did cave as the underground complex she used to stay in was destroyed.

Davis was fortunate enough to phase through her attack like before. He clenched his teeth and turned to look at her shadow hiding behind a shattered rock to make her next attack.

"You make your next move, and I"ll swear I"ll kill you like I killed Zen Ravager."

Fallen Heaven"s death energy began to drip out from his figure, causing Nightveil to feel a chill in her spine that made her shudder.

"…"

However, Davis instantly took that back along with his killing intent, which made Nightveil not understand what she just experienced just now.

Was that an illusion? A pure manifestation of killing intent.

On the other hand, Davis saw that she didn"t attack. In the silence, s.p.a.ce had begun to st.i.tch back itself, and the destroyed underground didn"t seem to collapse anymore. 

"You killed that vile spirit?" 

A few moments later, Nightveil finally spoke, ending the silence.

But Davis narrowed his eyes. What was this woman saying?

"You speak as if you don"t consider yourself vile."

"Ridiculous." Nightveil spat out through her teeth, "I merely obtained revenge on the sanctimonious villain who brutally vaporized my father and violated my mother, killing them in the end, the last of my Dynastic Evernight Phantasm Spirit Tribe. I had to make sure his tribe was wiped off the face of this spirit lands, so what do you want?"

Davis"s eyes were narrowed as he looked at her. He thought for a moment before he asked.

"Is there someone in the Spirit Ancestral Ground a part of that tri-"

"Yes!"

Nightveil"s voice was hateful. Her eyes glowed with a golden light, while there was also a starry abyss inside those beautiful pupils, making him feel relieved.

"I"ll take your word for it now." 

Davis nodded before he turned around, walking towards the exit.

"Heh, you"ll believe me?"

Hearing the tone in her voice, Davis turned his head to look at her smile and smirked.

"Your extremely low karmic sin, unlike the b.a.s.t.a.r.d whose karmic sin was humongous, certainly tells the difference."

Nightveil blinked as her golden eyes shone, not understanding what he was saying. However, her cherry lips moved.

"What did you come here for? Are you a Wicked Spirit Hunter?"

"Oh, there are professions for this?" Davis wondered in amus.e.m.e.nt before he nodded.

"Something like that..."

"If that"s the case, protect me, and I"ll reward you with resources you couldn"t find easily."

"Huh? You"re kidding..." Davis stopped as he turned his body entirely as though his attention had been caught, "You"re so powerful enough that you can sense me even while I"m concealed. No one could a.s.sa.s.sinate you as I don"t think anyone"s better than me in concealment, considering the current age and day. Who do you need to protect yourself from?"

Nightveil"s lips curved as she smirked in response.

"I can protect myself but not while I undergo the heavenly tribulation..."

"…!?"

Davis"s pupils dilated.
