Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 198: Five-Clawed Rat Elder

"Boss Vass, we've neared the tunnel..." A man muttered deeply with a heavy voice.This man was called Kron, and he was a devout follower of Vass or at least that was how Vass saw it in his eyes.Vass smiled and nodded. Naturally, his name was fake but no one other than his father knew about his disguise.They approached the tunnel and went inside it."Boss, it looks like someone had already entered here, killing their way inside..."A few seconds into the underground tunnel and they could tell that someone had been here."Look, this is the blood of the Five-Clawed Rats. Judging by the remnant aura and energy, the person must be a Silver Stage Body Cultivator!" Vass investigated the various bloodstains that was already dried. As a Peak-Level Body Transformation cultivator, he could distinguish the battle aura left behind by Davis."Let's go!" Vass commanded as he ran and they quickly started to follow....Lightning crackled while traveling to multiple directions, striking down the Five-Clawed Rats.*Boom!* Follow current on novelenglish.net

Davis kicked a rat into the wall with his leg, then jumped on top of it as he stabbed the spear in his hand into its head, dealing death to its life.He was surrounded by six Spirit Beast Stage Five-Clawed Rats, each one slightly paralyzed by the powers of the Fallen Extinction Lightning.With his Energy Condensation Cultivation, he simply couldn't deal damage to the Spirit Beast Stage Five-Clawed Rats, only managing to slightly paralyze them for a few seconds.Jumping off to the side, he hurriedly thrust another Five-Clawed Rat, causing it to give out a shrill scream before dying in its own pool of blood.He quickly retrieved his spear, managing to block the claw attack of another Five-Clawed Rat that almost got his head.His eyes suddenly narrowed as bent his body at an unbelievable angle.*Slash!*Blood splattered on the ground while a piece of flesh fell from his left arm. He nimbly backed off and stood his ground, keenly staring at the 5 Five-Clawed Rats.'Hehe... I finally got injured...' Davis slightly laughed and glanced at his clothes which were torn and bloodied in various places.Many tears in his clothes were mostly made by the Sky Beast Stage Five-Clawed Rats but they were unable to injure him in the slightest due to him being at Silver Stage of Body Tempering Cultivation.He was almost near the underground cave while his senses scoured all over and was gradually closing on it all this time.By this time, he had already managed to kill many Sky Beast Stage Five-Clawed Rats and a few Spirit Beast Stage Five-Clawed Rats.There were only these 5 left, except for a Peak-Level Spirit Beast Stage Five-Clawed Rat which was in the underground cave, seemingly posing to be their head.

He looked at their eyes, each one bloodshot to the extreme. He could understand that their eyes emitted killing intent against him.His uniform was bloodied with their blood, and of course, they would feel hatred against him like any living creature for slaughtering their kind.Davis frowned but curbed his sympathy inside from coming out.Are all these rats free of wrong? No. They killed and ate countless town's people above, sowing the seed of demise that will come to them eventually, exterminating them in the process.Davis wasn't going to stop, and even if he stopped, mercenaries above will eventually come down and kill them.If they couldn't, then the army from the Empire will eventually arrive, albeit quite late with their slow advance.'Absolute Enhancement!' Davis chanted in his mind. His aura grew stronger a few notches while his physique slightly enlarged, veins gradually popping out.He gripped the spear tightly causing his bones to emit sounds of cracking.With his Low-Level Sky Grade Spear, he charged ahead, his feet clad in lightning as he activated the Thunder Cloud Movement Technique.Closing in on them, he slashed their eyes one by one while nimbly maneuvering between their bodies which were at the size of a normal horse.The Five-Clawed Rats emitted shrill cries but were silenced one by one in the narrow yet wide dark tunnel.Davis relaxed and released a short breath after killing those Five-Clawed Rats. He then collected the Magical Cores and stored their corpses in his spatial ring while also managing to collect their Soul Essences. Follow current on storynovel.net

A while ago, he discovered that he could absorb the soul essence of a Magical Beast when he casually tried out. He figured that it should be the ability he gained from entering Adult Soul Stage. When he asked the Death Book about it, it gave off a sound of displeasure and explained that he would be able to absorb a Soul Essence of a living creature as long as it belongs in this universe.Its answer put a smile on his face because it gave him more diverse options to get Soul Essences from, while he didn't have to target humans on purpose anymore.In total, he had gained about 1473 Magical Beast Cores, 18 comprising from the Spirit Beast Stage Magical Beasts.'The last remaining Five-Clawed Rat.' Davis thought as he looked to the front. It was the entrance to the underground cave.Before going in, applied some medicinal paste to the wound to make it stop bleeding. After checking the injuries, he walked towards the wide entrance and jumped inside.Gliding down in slowly, he surveyed the landscape.To the south, there was a pool of dirty water that emitted a foul stench. To the north, there were many holes on the walls, probably leading to the wilderness and other parts of the space around the underground tunnel.To the east, he saw the remaining Five-Clawed Rat glancing menacingly at him, yet it was aged and old.Compared to the seven Spirit Beast Stage Five-Clawed Rats before, its bright eyes told him that it was more sentient."Do you understand me?" Davis asked out of curiosity.The Horned Wyvern could understand him to a degree, so he thought that it might be able to understand human speech as well.The Peak-Level Spirit Beast Stage Five-Clawed Rat kept staring at him as it couldn't understand him."Can you even hear?" Davis's eyes narrowed as he voiced out his thought.This time, its eyes flashed as it nodded its head."So you do understand me? Huh. Why did you slaughter the town's people above?" Davis pointed above and asked, entirely curious of their rampage.
