Chapter 3001 Unyielding
"Damn... the Saintess is so understanding... she even allowed me to visit my family one last time... I might turn into a pious worshiper..."
Davis was back on the mountain peak where he had been previously standing with Elder Aradiel Furiose, though the latter was not here anymore. He had been sent back to the place where Guardian Elysian Veritas picked him up by the person himself.
Now, he was looking at the skies, imagining Saintess Lunaria's celestial looks and voice that soothed one's heart.
Besides, just by standing beside her, he could sense karmic virtue in her. It wasn't like he had the ability to sense karmic virtue without using his karmic powers, but the fact that he could sense it from her meant that she was in possession of a third or even fourth-tier karmic virtue, something he had never laid his eyes upon.
He felt that it was no wonder that everyone looked at her with pious gazes, really deserving of her reputation.
More than anything, the way she called him Divine Emperor of Death was still resounding in his mind as though she cast a charm on him, although he knew that it was just the way she behaved, not strict enough back then and not now.
Even to leave, she didn't say that he should leave, but that she approved of his decision.
"Hmph!"
But suddenly, Davis gawked as his leg was attacked by a wild foot, causing him to turn and look at Myria, who pointed at him.
"You're a womanizer. I bet you're thinking about how to make her yours already..."
Myria accused, causing Davis to wonder if she was jealous or something to kick him on the leg before he shook his head innocently.
"What are you saying? I only have eyes for one Saintess, and that's you..."
Myria's glare became pronounced, "If you have nothing to talk about, then I'm leaving."
"Don't be so hasty."
Davis chuckled as he raised both hands to stop her, "Do you want the method to create Chaotic Genesis Physique? I have obtained the method to allow me to create it."
Myria's eyes narrowed, "Isn't that specifically restricted to you?"
"Is that so?" Davis looked away, "It's not like I can just leave it on some table and someone managed to chance upon it, right?"
"You're playing with fire."
Myria warned, but her gaze warmed up to him, "I don't need it. I'm closer to perfecting my own physique with a supporting Body Tempering Physique."
Davis nodded, "I've heard about it since you claimed that you could beat me if you created that physique. Do you need help? I'll be roaming outside in search of treasures for improving my Grand Chaos Body Art and a few other things, so I can search the resources you require while I'm at it."
He offered with a smile, causing Myria to become silent all of a sudden. She turned to look into the distance, a bizarre light appearing in her eyes.
"If you're intending to do it because you want to court me, then forget it."
"Rather than courting, I would say that I want to see you smile brightly. Be more cheerful like our Ellia. You're extremely beautiful, Myria."
Davis's voice echoed with sincerity, "But your beauty doesn't shine if you keep a stiff face all the time."
"What is it to you if I smile or not?"
However, Myria still shot a glare at him, causing Davis to smile wryly.
"I know you're just afraid to be hurt because of your experiences, but I-"
"Just what do you know about me?"
Myria let out a low growl as she raised her hand and pointed her finger at his forehead, touching him.
"If you continue this foolishness, then don't blame me for making you and Ellia hate me."
"..."
Davis blinked as he could sense reincarnation energy gather within the tip of her finger, ready to be unleashed. Her Peak Immortal King Soul undulations were heavy and dense, appearing to be more than his current prowess.
However, Davis still possessed a smile, appearing unafraid as he whatnot, you still chose not to harm the innocents. That's what I liked about you. You didn't harm the people closest to me and went moved his lips.
"This feels nostalgic. Back then, I still remember how you tried to enslave me, only to be thwarted by the thing that brought us together. Even in that rude awakening state, calling me a scum and whatnot, you still chose not to harm the innocents. That's what I liked about you. You didn't harm the people closest to me and went on to obtain revenge for Ellia, killing those who groomed her to be a slave and sold her to me."
"From that moment, I knew you were a caring person in essence and not a mindless killing machine that only exists to survive and devour, allowing me to look at you for who you are."
Davis's smile became brighter, "I dare you to harm me, Myria. I'm hundred percent sure your reincarnation energy won't leave your finger because even without Ellia between us, I know that I'm important to you."
He took a step forward, causing Myria to not know what to say. Her finger pressed on his forehead more, causing her gaze to flicker as she came out of her reverie.
"You just won't accept it."
"You-"
He took another step forward, causing Myria to take a step backward. Her face flared as killing intent emerged in her eyes. The edges of the peak began cracking, looking like it was about to collapse.
"You don't learn!"
However, Myria took her hand back, intending to leave as she turned around. However, she was stunned as she felt her wrist being grabbed. Her eyes were wide as she turned to look at him.
"You want to die?"
"But that's fine. I'll wait for the day when you can finally place your trust in me and share your burdens. After all, my feelings for you are true and not fleeting clouds that I can get rid of."
"...!"
Davis leaned and placed a kiss on the tip of her finger. However, it caused Myria to feel electrified as she took her hand back with lightning speed, quickly reappearing a few meters away from him before she looked at him with disbelief.
"You-"
"..."
She pointed at him again, her arm trembling.
"You, you... you-"
"..."
Davis became speechless as he saw her go speechless, her expression churning with all kinds of emotions as she uttered, but the killing intent she directed at him was not present. But at this moment, something snapped in his mind.
'Oh no... she's cute...'
Looking at her become teary-eyed, and her voice quiver, Davis was dumbfounded. Never having heard her feminine voice that lacked firmness but came to possess a celestial charm that had his heart pounding, he took two steps forward.
*Whoosh!~*
"Scoundrel~"
A low, squeaky voice emerged from the void as Myria completely disappeared.
'What the... she mastered hiding with Death Laws...?'
Davis froze as he couldn't sense Myria anymore. He was astounded by her ability to learn quickly.
However, he remained defenseless, wondering if he could bait Myria into showing up, but even after ten seconds, he couldn't sense her.
'Well, the fact that I didn't have my head blown up could only mean she likes me...'
He scratched his head, feeling like he had accidentally hastened things a bit. He didn't intend to kiss her finger, but that was just the way it was. He went along with the flow, following his heart. However, he was more heartened about the fact that she didn't use her reincarnation energy to attack him, allowing him to somewhat understand she was only acting aggressively to shoo him away.
Shaking his head, Davis left to see his family.
But unbeknownst to him, Myria was still present, her bosoms still heaving while she looked at him leave with numerous emotions flashing past her eyes. She had her hand on her heart, feeling it pound loudly. She was unable to stop, unable to control these raging emotions swelling inside her soul, making her feel go crazy.
She bit her lips, looking at his silhouette disappear before she turned to look away, crouching as she held her head.
"There will be a time when a man will finally melt your heart and take you away from me. At that time, will you still remember this old man...?"
Amidst her teary eyes and blurred vision, she could see the silhouette of a white-robed man smiling wryly.
"Father..."
Myria felt her heart ache as tears fell from her eyes as she remembered numerous memories about him but also the one where she killed him, causing her to gasp for breath. Her body began to tremble as the memories she sealed, ignored, sealed, ignored, sealed began to break.
"No... I didn't... I didn't do it... You... you were the one... who..."
*Gasp~*
But suddenly, Myria let out a gasp as she felt a hand on her shoulder, causing her trembling body to come to a stop as she was pulled out of her reverie.
"You don't need to say anything. Let's recollect ourselves first, shall we?"
Davis's voice was solemn.
Myria lightly breathed out. She did that a few times soundlessly, forcefully calming herself before she finally stood up.
