Chapter 1578 – Despairing
*Whoosh!~*
Ancestor Dian Alstreim and the others also reacted and flew towards Davis, but they didn't go too close and kept the others from nearing Davis while his women all rushed towards him.
They quickly arrived with their speeds and looked at Isabella tightly hold him as she tears, clenching her teeth so hard that blood was running down from her lips.
"Quick! Feed him a Peak-Level Emperor Grade Healing Pill!!! Now!!!"
Evelynn trembled as she lashed out at Isabella, looking at Davis's empty yet bloodies eye sockets.
To what end did he need to sacrifice his soul essence to have his eyes explode? Even have his forehead ripped apart?
However, Isabella merely raised her head and looked extremely guilty.
"I... already... did..."
Evelynn became stunned for a second while her body started to shake ceaselessly. Natalya remained stunned, unable to say anything as she felt hard-pressed to breathe while Fiora grabbed her elder sister's hand tightly, ceaselessly trembling like Evelynn.
Sophie's expression appeared hideous as he trembled heavily than anyone present. Her nails even sunk into her palms, seemingly showing her hatred as she turned to look at the fallen corpses of the enemies who pushed Davis to this state while Niera appeared aghast, not able to believe the sight in front of her.
But on the other hand, Mo Mingzhi appeared clueless as she looked at Davis's unmoving body. No thoughts appeared in her mind as if they ceased to exist. For her, time almost stopped moving while the sounds around her couldn't be anything but muffled.
"You're kidding... right?"
Evelynn tried to force out a smile even as her lips kept quivering.
Davis's eyes completely reformed at this moment. His split forehead at the glabella also rejoined. They were expecting for his eyes to quiver ever so lightly so that they could be assured, but there were no movements whatsoever. However...
Suddenly, a low muffle echoed before numerous things popped out.
A four-meter tall black-colored cocoon emerged out of nowhere along with a tiny dot that began to sparkle with fire and lightning.
"Master!!!"
Extensive black lightning arcs erupted as Eldia also came out, her globular black lightning body ceaselessly trembling as she looked at Davis's motionless body.
Isabella and the others became stunned as they saw Eldia and the other two peculiarities.
They were aware that this cocoon was Nadia and the spark that burned with fire and lightning was the key to going into the sealed lightning space in the isolated island of the Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago.
However, if it was the case, then that meant...
"No... no... no..."
Isabella kept shaking her head as she mindlessly chanted. Tears flowed down her eyes at a faster rate that she even tried to separate herself from Davis, not wanting to confirm her hypothesis. Despite trying to pull herself back, her hands just wouldn't let Davis's body go.
She could practically feel his warm body turning chiller by the second.
Evelynn subconsciously walked towards the place where Isabella held him tight, planting her face on his chest. Evelynn reached out her trembling hand and placed her finger on his forehead.
Intensely burning... was what she could feel.
However, her knees gave out as she collapsed on the surface. She incredulously looked at Davis's smiling expression that remained, seemingly convinced that he had killed all the enemies before he fainted in tiredness.
But the reality wasn't like that. She, who shared her body and soul in dual cultivation, couldn't sense his soul at the moment. Moreover...
"His soul sea collapsed..."
Ancestor Tirea Snow, who came beside Davis to check on him with her soul sense, had her expression turn unsightly, even feeling her heart tremble with intense pain. In the distance, Ancestor Dian Alstreim, who was watching out for unspecified enemies, had his expression turn hideous as his body started to massively tremble.
How could it be like this!?
Ancestor Tirea Snow's words were like a declaration of a death certificate.
Suppose a soul is in a dormant state, but the soul sea collapsed. That person would undoubtedly die with the soul being inwardly crushed.
If a house crumbled, would a mortal living in it be able to survive?
Evelynn looked at Ancestor Tirea Snow in incredulity, her eyes glancing at Davis's still body before she again looked at Ancestor Tirea Snow, but looking at her, not contradicting her statement, Evelynn abruptly pounced on Davis and embraced as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Hhhii~"
She squealed, tears dropping from her eyes as she clenched him hard as if she would never let him go.
Natalya and Fiora both had their palms over their mouths as they suppressed their wailing,
Evelynn, Sophie, and Mo Mingzhi's eyes were wide as they trembled, appearing to have different reactions. One appeared heartbroken as she tightly embraced her dead husband, one seethed with hatred as she lowered her head, and one even resembled a soulless husk while looking at the man who told her that they might get together tonight, only to leave her behind.
Mo Mingzhi...
This was the second time she encountered this situation, but it was even worse than the first because she got to witness Davis die with her own eyes rather than the first one where there was a suspicion of his death because he could not be found. However, there was something common between them as their hearts, no, their colorless souls brewed with a certain kind of energy, becoming black as if they were coated by darkness.
Their eyes also momentarily flashed with intense hatred before it disappeared, replaced with intense sorrow as tears kept ceaselessly falling out like waterfalls.
Quite a few meters away, a woman stopped from nearing Davis. She had just arrived to check up on Davis like everyone else, but hearing Ancestor Tirea Snow's declaration, she felt as if her heart almost stopped beating. She recalled how Davis looked at her at the last second with numerous emotions filling his face before laughing out loud in a crazy manner.
"We caused him to die..."
Natalya's heartbroken voice suddenly echoed out, causing everyone's expression to change. Hearing it, that woman's heart also skipped a beat as she lowered her head, her body trembling with even more intensity. However, different than the others, her body moved towards the front as she fainted and collapsed on the ground, a thud echoing around the place.
A few people looked at that woman, recognizing her to be Tina Roxley from Davis's account. However, their eyes went wide as they saw her strands of hair turning white under the crimson shade of sunset.
What could she have even felt to be saddened to that level?
It was unknown if she was even dead or alive at this moment as her undulations receded.
Looking at that scene, Natalya's lips couldn't help but tremble as a sorrowful smile appeared on her face. A dagger abruptly appeared in her hands as she stabbed right at the center of her own forehead without any hesitation whatsoever when a hand suddenly grabbed her.
"Natalya! What are you doing!?"
Ancestor Tirea Snow raised her voice as she screamed at her student.
"Get your hands off me...!"
Natalya clenched her teeth and angrily glanced at her teacher, her hands trembling as she still tried to kill herself using her cold dagger presented by Sophie.
"Leave... me alone...! I want to die now that he is no longer here...!"
She shrieked as she miserably cried, even beginning to forcefully explode her revolving core.
Fiora could only helplessly watch her suicidal sister as she staggered back, plunging her back to the ground as if she had given up on everything. Tears kept flowing out of her eyes while her mind didn't seem to have stuck in a loop of that scene where Davis last saw them before performing that suicidal move.
It was obvious that he did it to protect them!!!
Even she felt miserable, so how could Natalya, who's been with him for a long while, not?
Ancestor Tirea Snow's expression increasingly trembled as she didn't know what to do. She impulsively swung her hand and knocked out Natalya, causing her to faint before her body relaxed. She took Natalya into her arms as if wanting to comfort her, closing her eyes while she had her back on Davis.
For all the help he did, she didn't have the face to see him either.
Sophie took her teary eyes off of Natalya's short outburst and panned her gaze. She looked at the others who could do nothing but mourn in front of Davis, just like her when she realized it.
Everything was falling apart.
Her world was falling apart as suicidal thoughts also crept into her heart. However, the rage in her heart didn't quell. It couldn't be quelled.
"The Dragon Families and the Poison Lord Villa... I'll never forgive you..."
She spat out in hatred before she went around, intending to collect their spatial rings and give them to third sister Isabella if she intended to accompany her quest for revenge even though she was aware that she herself wasn't up to par.
It could be better said that her mind became clouded entirely in vengeance, intending to die on the battlefield in a different form than Natalya.
In the skies above, a figure floated, simply watching it all happen. It was as if their existence was a mere mirage as none of the people present were capable of sensing, much less perceiving them.
When Davis's soul sea collapsed, no longer capable of holding those things that came out, that person sighed.
"In the end, the Grimoire of Fate's destiny is something you couldn't grasp as well, but I'll give you nothing but respect for owning it for the longest time possible ever."
