Chapter 3249 Berated
'What the…'
Davis stood on his feet back again. He was still in his soul sea, glaring at Fallen Heaven as it dared to attack him with a screech.
But he didn't overreact.
Was that even an attack? He didn't know, but considering he broke one of its taboos, he could understand that it was angered. However, how should he know not to use it when it didn't hide itself like it usually did, even for Heavenly Tribulations?
Could it be that it never encountered a divine punishment and, subsequently, didn't hide because it didn't sense Heaven's Will?
Besides, he only knew that he didn't want to lose those soul essences, and he tried to bring them to him for various reasons he couldn't understand. Therefore, he wanted to ask Fallen Heaven, but it lashed out at him for breaking its taboo.
He hurriedly calmed himself, not wanting to fight or bicker with his buddy who had saved him numerous times.
"Fine. I was wrong for using you at that time, but next time, you could just… not let me use you."
"That would be a breach of our trust."
"…"
Fallen Heaven grumbled, causing Davis to be unable to retort.
"Alright, I understand."
"What do you know? I felt like if I was found out, it would be game over for the both of us! You may not be able to feel heaven's wrath, but I can. At the very least, I'll get thrown out of the universe like that little apocalyptic spirit endured, but it could be worse, like getting hit with that same thing that black-robed woman and three others got hit with!"
"…"
Davis became stumped on hearing its ardent voice filled with complaint. He wanted to apologize but swiftly continued on track with it mentioning them.
"That's right… who were those four? And why did they mention Evelynn?"
"Hmph! I'm not speaking to you anymore!"
"What- wait! You can't be like this…"
Davis couldn't believe that it was grumpy about this matter. He did fully understand now that he did something that would cause the both of them to die, but if it was risking one's life, wasn't he doing that equally?
He didn't expect Fallen Heaven to understand that and wanted to move on to know more, but it now refused to answer, acting like a tsundere- no, completely shut off communications as it hid itself in him again, leaving him quite stumped.
"…"
Eventually, he could only come out of his reverie and look at Tanya's face, which was full of worry. It had been only a few seconds since he lost his footing from being muddled by Fallen Heaven's furious shout, so he could see that she was intensely worried.
"I'm fine…"
He patted her head, lightly smiling.
The others also gathered around him, wondering if he was deeply hurt, but it didn't seem like that.
"So both Clara and Tia are sleeping, but Tia could be possessed while Clara is influenced by the heavens, making her aggressive to us. Not bad for a start, but you mentioned that Evelynn received father's permission to start…? Did father ascend?"
Davis folded his hands as he nodded before questioning Tanya. He knew things could've gone way bad in his absence, but since they contained it, he felt like he could mostly take care of it.
"Yes~"
Tanya pursed her lips, carefully articulating her words as she spoke about how Logan ascended, but it was a trap contrived by Accursed Warlock Fraser Herrion to make the denizens of the Grand Beginnings Continent that the world was going to end, leaving most with no choice but ascend and as a result, Logan arrived but was caught by Accursed Warlock Fraser Herrion.
With allies like the Obsidian Crystal Turtle Clan sending their army division and an Ancestor to save his father, Davis was shocked to hear that they suffered many casualties. He wanted to head there as soon as he could to extend his condolences, but subsequently, he also learned that Accursed Warlock Fraser Herrion was dealt a severe blow with the full force of Master Deathseeker's faction in the Ghost Tear Hall.
Davis was moved that his master made a move when his family was in danger, even following his plan to the letter.
Hopefully, they didn't try to corner Accursed Warlock Fraser Herrion, or they would've met a bad end.
However, hearing things about his father suffered a lot when he was a captive and was even cursed by the Accursed Warlock before Evelynn made the decision to bring Logan to Saintess Lunaria in order to remove the curse, he couldn't help but feel thankful to her.
"Husband… please don't say hurtful words to Evelynn… she… she's still pregnant…"
Tanya pleaded while holding his hands, causing Davis to blink.
These words coming out of Tanya were slightly painful to him as he had said harsh words to her when acting to bait Accursed Warlock Fraser Herrion out of a possible spy, who turned out to be Mystic Diviner Hailac.
He couldn't help but rub Tanya's cheek as though consoling her.
"Don't worry. If Evelynn was confident enough to free Clara of her curse, then I have nothing to say other than to believe her. After all, I was the one who told her to research a way to cure Clara of the foreign influence."
"…"
Davis's words stunned Tanya, not expecting him to understand as the little sister he adored possibly could've just had her life ruined. Even if he punished Evelynn for it, they wouldn't be able to say anything other than plead for forgiveness in Evelynn's stead.
"Ar-are you not angered…?'
"Not at all." Davis firmly shook his head.
Although he felt Evelynn might've been hasty and could've waited for his return or at least given birth before curing Clara, he knew to trust her, not to mention Clara was silently suffering every single day because she was afraid that she might harm others.
He was a bit frustrated that this happened, but other than that, he could understand their hastiness.
Hearing Davis's firm voice, Tanya inwardly heaved a sigh of relief.
Isabella even thought of not letting him near Evelynn at this time since it was crucial that Evelynn's emotions don't destabilize or else it would badly affect her child. But now, it didn't seem like they had to worry,
Quickly, she led him to the Aurora Cloud Gate.
"Wait… I'm exiled."
"We already got permission."
Tanya uttered and went on to further say that this permission was obtained through using millions of contribution points to revoke the ban on him from entering. Apparently, this rule was introduced hundreds and thousands of years ago but was rarely known due to its controversy as there were internal factions against this rule, although it could be only used for visiting a single time and could only be specifically used by those who didn't commit unreasonable slaughter or violent crimes.
By taking advantage of the loophole, Tanya brought Davis into the Aurora Cloud Gate openly instead of having to hide like the last time.
Naturally, he was seen by every disciple present on the way, bringing with him a storm of controversial opinions, although they were let out in hushed voices, spoken through soul transmissions for fear of offending him.
He parted ways with the Cyclonis Blizzara, Niel Bladeheart, and the others, finally appearing on the island that he had self-exiled from.
