Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 1261 - The Silverwinds

Chapter 1261 - The Silverwinds

While Nero Alstreim had gone stiff in nervousness and shock while witnessing Davis's brazen attitude towards the Mival Silverwind, the latter faintly smiled.
"You are making it worthwhile for me to accept your proposition..." Mival Silverwind shook his head when suddenly Nadia moved away from the spot she stood in.
*BZzzzzz!!!~~~*
A viridian-colored fox clad in viridian lightning land behind Mival Silverwind, causing Davis to widen his eyes as he saw its beautiful three long tails enveloping Mival Silverwind as if it would not allow him to come into harm.
"Rude!!! Is this how the Alstreim Family treats its guest?" The beautiful viridian fox's voice echoed in a high-pitched tone, causing Nero Alstreim's eyes to narrow sharply!
'Another Ninth Stage Powerhouse!!! An Emperor Beast Stage Magical Beast!' He practically felt that he was dead at this moment. However...
"Huh? Alstreim Family's guests...?" He blinked in confusion.
Davis also smiled, "Since I'm weak, I just wanted to protect myself from opportunists, but since you have seemed to have accepted the deal long before when going by Zanna Silverwind's words, can I take it that you are still agreeable with the deal after this?"
Nadia appeared beside Davis, twisting her tail around his body as if protecting him the same way Zanna Silverwind did. Mival Silverwind laughed, "Ahaha! Brat, I don't know if you are brave or stupid. If it's the latter, I'm satisfied, but if it's the former, I will come to regret accepting this deal of yours, so don't disappoint me."
Davis deeply smiled, "You won't be disappointed, and you'll come to realize that sooner than you think."
"Big words..."
Mival Silverwind laughingly scoffed, but he couldn't help like this attitude. If Davis's attitude was even a bit subservient, he would've not even considered even if there was a place for them to live because when the time comes for them to face discrimination sooner or later, the party who invited them would cave under pressure and start treating them with discrimination to get along with the other discriminating people.
They had experienced it many times, and he had enough of that. So without a daring and courageous attitude like arrogantly talking to a Ninth Stage Powerhouse, jumping into the terrifying Lightning Sea before walking out without a semblance of an injury, treating the King-Tier Magical Beast as his own while being able to command flawlessly through loyalty, he wouldn't have deigned to accept this deal.
They had common points where they both treated their magical beast companion well, although he mused that they hadn't reached that much of an intimate level like him and Zanna yet.
"I see you have obtained many benefits inside to become more confident..." Mival Silverwind laughed in recognition, and at this moment, Alia Silverwind arrived beside them, her expression bright while her beauty made the men's eyes nod a bit in approval.
Nero Alstreim finally heaved a sigh, realizing that this beauty was not a Ninth Stage Powerhouse. If she were, he would've been shocked to the core again. He couldn't finally help but ask on seeing a fellow human.
"Who are you all esteemed cultivators? Why are you all here waiting for Davis?"
"We?" Alia Silverwind gently smiled, "We came to this island to bury me, but Davis here who followed us stealthily helped us, helped me live in exchange for a few favors, and he made a deal for us wanderers, proposing if we could become Alstreim Family's Protectors for which in turn, he said that we would be given a home and treated with respect regardless of the rules imposed by the so-called righteous powers. You understand?"
From the start to the end, Alia Silverwind kept her smile before she raised her brows, "You are...?"
"I see... Excuse my rude manners..." Nero Alstreim gave a classic clasp of his hands and slightly bowed, "I'm Nero Alstreim, an Alstreim Family Elder who got trapped inside this Lightning Sea for more than a century and was brought out by Davis, but I don't know if he saved me or has something planned for me... Hehe..."
He awkwardly laughed while Davis imperceptibly smiled on hearing his words.
'Diverting the topic from inside the Lightning Sea to me, huh... Smart...'
"Oh, you're an Alstreim Family Elder." Alia Silverwind giggled, "Well, that brings more credibility to Davis, but it seems like you don't know how to appropriate him. As far as I know, Alchemist Davis did save me, but it remains to be seen if he would treat us well like he says he would..."
"So it remains to be seen what he has in store for both of us." Nero Alstreim gawked as he looked at Davis.
How could a Law Manifestation Stage be so capable? Reasoning told him that it was because of that King-Tier Magical Beast, but was it just that? His instincts told him that it was different.
"Now then..." Davis smiled as he affectionately c.a.r.e.s.sed Nadia's furry tail, "Can I have the Lightning Elemental that you owe me?"
"Of course, once we got out of this place, you can have it."
"But you said that you wouldn't say anything if it accepted me of its own will? Mhm...?" Davis raised his brows.
"Ah... You did indeed say that you wanted to hear its answer after some time. Go ahead," Mival Silverwind laughed, "I'm rather curious, wanting to see your new capability with my own eyes!"
As he finished speaking, he waved his hands, and a large triangle-shaped container appeared out of nowhere. It began to flash with lightning as the triangle's face opened on one side before the blue lightning gradually turned pitch black as an orbicular entity flew out of it, seemingly joyous that it was released.
But as soon as it witnessed the people around it, it stopped as if it went stiff.
A smile appeared on Davis's lips as he flew towards it with no defense. Nero Alstreim, who saw him, couldn't help but bellow.
"What are you doing? You will die if you get any closer!"
His warning seems to have fallen on deaf ears while Mival Silverwind and the other two closely watched Davis near the Lightning Elemental. Last time, they had seen Davis managing to somehow frighten the Lightning Elemental. At that time, Davis was shockingly a Peak-Level Supreme Stage Cultivator whose soul force was quite powerful. However, he couldn't even tell what kind of cultivation he had, making him immensely interested in his strength.
From his time as an expert roaming throughout the world with his two wives, he understood that certain people weren't meant to become true experts as if heaven had preordained. Even if they try to plunder someone else, they would simply be met with a tragic fate that leads to their death. However, the same couldn't be said about a few rare characters.
They were blessed with so much luck that they couldn't be defied at all other than by people of similar stature, and he believed that Davis Alstreim was precisely such a character. In actuality, even if he felt a bit of greed for the treasures Davis might possess, he did not let it get into his head because he felt that Davis was blessed by heavens to be at Peak-Level Supreme Soul Stage at a young age.
The soul was practically difficult to cultivate, and it couldn't be easily done without having something special about them.
In truth, he and Alia left this place and bought information on Davis Alstreim from the All-Seeing Towers, but the information was completely limited to his sudden arrival at the Ethren Empire and the feats that he had achieved in the Alstreim Family along with the Dragon Queen. There wasn't much information about his childhood nor his parents, causing him to believe that there was a deep sense of mystery behind him.
Davis was a rising star in his perspective that he had to take a gamble on, and he gambled to protect this lad from latent dangers instead of plundering from him.
That's why he wanted to know at least if his initial decision was right by letting him interact with the Mid-Level Emperor Grade Lightning Elemental! As his viridian eyes shook in eagerness, Davis arrived in front of the Lightning Elemental before his lips moved.
"Well then, I presume that you remember me and my words. So, have you made your decision?"
The Lightning Elemental's spherical body shook before it retracted the least bit of black lightning it was covered in before shooting towards Davis without any manner of hesitation.
"Watch out!" Nero Alstreim and Mival Silverwind's eyes widened by its sudden movement.
Zanna was just about to punish it with the lightning she embedded in it but suddenly saw Davis raising his hand at them. It was as if he was telling him to stay their hand, and that moment of hesitation allowed the Lightning Elemental to zoom in! It neared his abdomen and collided with him, but instead of causing him massive damage while it crackled, it was like water seeping into his flesh.
It entered his abdomen, sprang into his dantian before starting to twist around his revolving core as if it were an ecstatic dragon, eating a few strands of lightning that surrounded it.
Davis sat down in mid-air while lightning began to crackle around him. The moment it retracted its lightning and entered his dantian, he knew that it had agreed to become his Lightning Elemental. It even began to project insights to him as naturally as it could generate, causing him to enter a meditative state instantly upon blending together.
Nero Alstreim and the Silverwinds' jaws dropped as they saw him swallow and accept a Mid-Level Lightning Elemental like it was nothing. What about the negotiation?
What about the possible damage to the soul? Wasn't Davis even caring about that or even feared a bit?
However, looking at him sit down with a calm expression on his face, what else could it be other than taming the Lightning Elemental in an instant? But, they couldn't even believe that he had tamed it, much less began to comprehend insights into Lightning Laws as soon as it entered his dantian!
"Wha- What kind of potential does this genius have...?"
Mival Silverwind's viridian eyes swelled with emotions as he felt that the decision he had taken couldn't be wrong! At least, not for a hundred years!
