Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 367: I'm Leaving

"Snap out of it! Claire!!!" Logan shouted and sent a Soul Transmission at the same time, awakening her from the depths of her abyss; from wherever she hid while not daring to come out.Claire's soul force that impeded him from communicating with her was slapped to the void, and because of that, she was able to hear him.Claire's moist yet crazed eyes which were glazed slowly became clear. When she came out of it, all she could do was stupidly look at the surroundings before concentrating her gaze on the half-burned Logan.Claire opened her mouth yet no sound came out. The atmosphere around the outside of the Royal Capital was silent as no sound could be heard other than the surface being slowly scorched by the remnant flames.A few seconds later, Claire spoke, "Did I do this?"Logan was bewildered when he saw her ask this question. However, he instantly realized and calmed down, 'So she truly wasn't herself...'Whether it was a heart demon or entirely something else, he heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that she finally snapped out of that crazed state.In truth, Claire did indeed snap out of the control of a heart demon. It was only possible because the heart demon hadn't entirely possessed her due to the doubt she had; whether if Logan wanted to truly leave her or not. If it was the former, the rate of possession would've been multiplied by a tremendous degree, making her unable to snap out of it anytime soon.If the possession had gotten worse, she could've only snapped out of it after she had killed Logan and his other women; the entire reason for her crazed state."Why? Don't you want me no more?" Claire let out a wry chuckle as she asked, her expression displaying grief.Logan was still grasping her hands tightly, afraid that she would enter that crazed state again.When he heard her speak, he was again confused, "When did I ever say something like that?"Claire's eyes shook fiercely, even so, she grasped his robe's collar with her free hand and uttered in disbelief, "You! Weren't you the one who asked for a divorce?""Divorce? When did I say anything like that!?" Logan quickly replied as he shouted with a dumbfounded expression on his face.His mind turned to make sense of this situation but before he could, he heard Claire speak again once more."You're lying, otherwise..." Claire's eyes trembled, "Evelynn woul...""He's not..." Suddenly a voice echoed beside them, cutting Claire's speech short."It was I who told Evelynn to relay that Father wants to divorce you..."Davis slowly turned visible and his calm yet apathetic figure came into their view as if he was a villain; the mastermind."You! Davis! What is the meaning of this!?" Logan turned angry as his eyes flashed with confusion.While he was angry, he was truly confused as well. Follow current on novelenglish.net

What was exactly happening here? Could it be that Davis was the one who was behind this mess as he truly told it to be? He didn't want to believe it.Claire touched her churning cheeks which were crimson red from the slap and took in a deep breath, "Why did you do this?""Why you ask?" Davis wryly smiled, "Take a look..."Suddenly, three more silhouettes appeared beside him while both of them were stunned.While Logan and Claire were stunned, two of the three silhouettes hurriedly ran and fell in their embraces."Father! Mother!"Edward cried like a baby once he pounced on his mother. He held her tightly as if he would never let go.On the other hand, Diana wrapped her arms around her father and let out silent tears as if she endured immense pain."Father! Please don't fight anymore!""Please don't insult Father anymore, Mother...."Once Logan and Claire looked at their children's heartfelt feelings and realized what had happened, they got a vague feeling of why Davis acted like that.Claire bent a little and kissed Edward's forehead as she placated him while Logan patted Diana's back, managing to calm her down.Clara stood by Davis, her eyes slightly moist. She was glad that they stopped fighting and even realized how much she cared for them when she thought one of them was about to die. She certainly felt a huge pain in her heart at that time.Thankfully, nothing of that sort happened.By this time, Evelynn had also appeared behind Davis and her figure was quite visible to the duo.Truth be told, she was she scared as she was the one who told Claire the 'news'.Of course, Davis wouldn't let anything happen to her as he would take all the blame by himself. After all, it was his plan.Although his means were crude, he couldn't see anything that would induce a powerful and dominant effect such as this in a short amount of time.Whether if it was good or bad, and for a quicker conclusion, this was the only method he could use since they didn't seem to heed his words.A few minutes passed, Claire and Logan, the two stood together and looked at Davis with complex emotions in their eyes. They were angry, disoriented, provoked and even felt betrayed.Yet when they understood why he did those things when they looked at their children, they more or less understood that it was for their sake.They couldn't help but think if they should thank him or turn aggressive against him.Other than destroying the Royal Castle's infrastructure which they couldn't care any less about, no casualties happened and even words that couldn't be taken back once said weren't let go.

They realized that it was due to his cautious yet watchful eyes; maybe. However, they still couldn't help but feel some resentment.Claire stopped gazing at Davis and turned to look at Logan."I'm sorry, dear..." Claire moved her hand to his cheek as she uttered in an apologetic and tender tone.She could see his burnt robes and skin and it only added to her pain when she realized that he did it all to calm her down without heavily injuring her.Logan shook his head as he held her hand that was on his cheek, "I too apologize. If it weren't for my wrongdoings in the past, none of this would've happened.""Enough is enough, you two have to move on and see the future together. Otherwise, just kill Edward, Diana, Clara and be done with it because they certainly wouldn't stand by and watch seeing you two separate eventually..." Davis suddenly interjected. He gave an ultimatum, forcing them to reconcile. He believed that without a push, it would be quite awkward for them to speak openly.When Edward said that he would rather die than watch them fight to the death, this matter was no longer for the husband and wife to settle but changed into a matter to settle as a family.Logan and Claire looked at Davis once again in a complex light but they suddenly felt the hold on their clothes tighten.They looked down and saw the anxious faces of their two of the four children.Claire took a deep breath as she inclined her chin to look at him and spoke, "Logan, once I breakthrough to the Law Manifestation Stage, I'm leaving to the First Layer."Logan's heart turned heavy. His expression changed as he looked at Claire with disbelief.Was she leaving him?Even Davis's heart delayed a beat but the next sentence of Claire calmed his heart down."At that time, I want you to accompany me..." Claire's gentle voice echoed out.Logan's expression changed as a smile lit up on his face from his previously deadpan expression, "Yes!"Claire bit her lips as she smiled. Their two eyes looked into each other's, communicating with only just their eyes.Diana understood their conversation and pulled in both of them to embrace. Edward joined in once it seemed like all things were fine between his mother and father.As a result, all four of them were in an embrace, slightly crying, weeping and laughing simultaneously.Davis let out a chuckle but at the same time, he let out a sigh of relief.Thankfully, although everything didn't go the way he wanted it to, the end result in reality was extremely close to his expectations. They did indeed reconcile after everything that had happened.All that was left was to take the blame for making them fight and suffer a punishment or two, though he wouldn't comply with it if it was anything harsh.And if they tried to punish Evelynn, well, he would be sad to say that he would be the one going berserk.Evelynn was his apple's eye and no one could harm her without any valid reason, not even his mother or father.

While Davis was thinking all these things, a voice awakened him suddenly."Davis...""Ah, yes..." Davis replied, seeing that it was his mother who called him.Claire's raised her hand in hesitation, however, she sighed.A year later.Davis was pondering on the lightning laws while Evelynn had a separate room to herself beside Davis's.In there, she worked and experimented on her poison laws to varying degrees, even sometimes managing to accidentally poison herself in the process.In the previous year, she did not train in poison laws because she found it difficult to train in poison which she was naturally aversed to from childhood.Davis didn't force her and so, it gradually took a fear for her to throw away her apprehension before she could finally train in poison laws.Davis treated her with antidote after analyzing her poison in detail.Thankfully, her poison was only at the level of Peak-Level Earth Grade, not Sky Grade.This made it easier for him to safeguard and heal her with the concocted antidote at the same time.The more she practiced with his help, the more she became proficient in poison laws.Evelynn became quite engrossed in learning it after she saw how proficient she was in poison laws.Her hope in cultivation was lit up when she realized that her prowess in poison laws was great.The words that her husband said echoed in her mind and she more or less believed that all humans were now naturally attuned to some laws.After eight months of bitter training, she no longer poisoned herself, even controlling the poison in her hands as if she was controlling a part of her body.Her talent in poison laws could be seen from this fact.But during the initial months, Evelynn's actions did garner quite the attention as both Claire and Logan learned about Evelynn's usage of Poison Laws.Logan's face was ashen but after listening to Claire's broad point of view, he convinced himself to let it go.Davis didn't say anything as they argued back and forth about Poison Laws but seeing that Claire managed to convince Logan, he nodded his head in appreciation.After all, preconceived notions in someone's mind were quite difficult to eliminate without facts and logic backing behind it.If his father didn't accept and wanted to curb Evelynn from learning Poison Laws, then he would've been disappointed, even choosing to move to another place to live.However, he understood his father's thoughts of not wanting to train in poison laws.The thought of being secretly poisoned was always scary, and someone who could do it was present beside them? There wouldn't be a good day of sleep if it is like that.Nevertheless, Davis wasn't worried that Evelynn would poison him and even if she did, he had the necessary antidotes with him.Being with an antidote was the same as rendering the poison useless, and unless Evelynn created new poison techniques or increased its quality through law comprehension, her poison is the same as not existing to him.
