Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 216

Chapter 216
"Stop!"
After quite a few minutes had passed, they all reached a passageway that led into two separate tunnels .
With the command of Elder Severin, the entourage split up into two and entered both the tunnels .
One team was led by Elder Severin while the other was led by his trusted subordinate .
Mulia and her uncle also were together with Elder Severin, so Davis was also stuck with them since he followed Mulia .
Surprisingly, after that event, Elder Severin didn't come to bother him at all . It was like that he didn't even bother about his existence anymore .
To this, Davis was very satisfied instead of being irritated .
He understood that by only through his enemies underestimation of him could he possibly survive this ordeal .
So far, there weren't any opportunities available for him to make his escape, so he could only grit his teeth and follow them to this wretched place .
Of course, if he had so wished, other than Elder Severin, he could kill all of them with Fallen Heaven but didn't do so as he would invite suspicion and besides, he was looking for an opportune moment to escape as well as use Fallen Heaven .
After a few hours of travel, walking in a snail's pace, the two teams regrouped at the exit of the two separate tunnels .
When the other team came out, they laughed and wondered why there were two ways to the same exit .
After discussing the strange structure of the tomb a bit, they continued their tomb-raiding work, heading deep into the narrow pathway .
It was unknown if they were moving horizontally or even vertically from a normal perspective .
Right now, the only thing Davis got from this tomb was a peculiar sense of danger . It suddenly appeared and disappeared for no reason, or it could be just his misconception .
Sadly, he could only use his senses to feel around .
Not taking any chances, he made his move .
"Miss Mulia, it could be my imagination but I think we are in danger . . . " Davis whispered as he came close behind her . After all, he certainly owed her his life .
The sudden information was enough to make her stop in her tracks, yet she kept moving as if this wasn't enough for her to be fazed .
"Relax, Elder Severin has already informed us that there's something wrong with the team that had returned from the other tunnel . Probably, they're not the same anymore . . . "
Davis was startled but not surprised at hearing her reply . . . After all, they were all higher stage cultivators than him .
Mulia took a faint glance at him, feeling quite surprised by his senses . It was her uncle who had informed of the danger to her first, followed by Elder Severin .
It was out of her expectations for Davis to sense the danger when even she couldn't sense as a Law Seed Stage Expert .
And though Elder Severin warned her, she didn't feel one bit thankful because she knew that he was stronger than her uncle, yet didn't inform her about the danger straight away .
He informed her only after he saw her uncle warned her of the danger .
She could guess that he was trying to play the 'save the damsel in distress' when she was truly in danger, hence she felt disgusted with his actions .
The more she thought about this, the more she felt that her decision to lose her innocence to Hadian was extremely correct .
Her cold expression slowly faded out, replaced by a longing look .
Suddenly, a flash of light reflected through her eyes!
It was a light attributed attack!
Her expression turned serious yet it was already too late .
Just when she thought she was going to lose her life in this place, her uncle stepped in front of her and erected a barrier .
'They made the first move?' Elder Severin thought and commanded his subordinates, "Kill the group who came from the other tunnel!"
His subordinates echoed in agreement before moving off to massacre as if they have possessed prior information .
Elder Severin turned and looked at the leader he sent off to the other tunnel . His expression was quite ugly as he would have to kill one of his trusted subordinates, "Whoever's pulling the strings will have to pay the price later!"
Muttering in a deep tone, he stepped towards his subordinate and grabbed the thin air beside him .
A solid sword manifested out from his spatial ring which was on one of his fingers . !
"Zzzzzzz!" The sword gave off a low cry as it trembled, seemingly capable of possessing its own consciousness!
A Low-Level King Grade Weapon!
In an instant, the head of the subordinate flew above while seemingly at the same time, quite a few heads also fell to the ground .
Elder Severin floated off the ground while he looked at his subordinates with interest, who had just started battling the other group .
His killing speed was off the charts!
If Davis witnessed his speed, he would be flabbergasted because, with his current cultivation base, he wouldn't even be able to catch his silhouette with his eyes .
Elder Severin was capable of moving even breaking past the sound barrier! Except his speed was even more terrifying because he could move 10 kilometers in a single second!
Actually, even Law Seed Stage Experts could travel at the speed of sound, to even say much less of Law Dominion Stage Experts like Elder Severin who is two stages above their cultivation .
Looking at the slow battling speed of his subordinates, Elder Severin took the matter in his hands and swept the other team with a swing of his sword .
Finally, there was only a single one who was left alive from the other team . Elder Severin questioned him but the man would only respond to him with gibberish .
Later on, Elder Severin sighed as he didn't know what to make of this even after using his Soul Sense to probe that man .
"Mulia, it's useless . I couldn't even make sense of the situation with my Mid-Level Elder Soul Stage Cultivation . . . " Elder Severin explained when he saw Mulia getting close to that man, scrutinizing .
Mulia nodded expressionlessly and backed off, seemingly not able to find any clues .
"Is this what they meant by turning crazy?"
"He doesn't even recognize us anymore . . . "
"Damn, now how do we answer to their families?"
The surrounding men spoke in hushed voices .
Elder Severin glanced at them arrogantly and said, "Keep him alive and close! We shall see what other tricks this tomb has to show off!"
The men nodded and followed their leader into the depths of the tomb .
Davis stayed close to Mulia and didn't take part in the battle but he was able to measure through his bare eyes that they were being controlled through their souls, or even deranged .
Originally, he thought of controlling them with Fallen Heaven after regrouping, but it looks like someone beat him to it .
'Was it that soul body that they were talking about?' He mused in trepidation as even he couldn't find any traces of the soul control .
Even so, their deaths brought him happiness, to say the least .
Quickly, they could see an entrance to a hall as it was written on the door .
When they pushed open the door to the hall, they actually started to hear voices! Human voices!
Elder Severin's expression turned heavy before becoming ugly .
