Chapter 105
"This is child's play for me! Merely with my restricted power level, it will take a long time to erase those chains . " The crisp voice echoed as if it was dissatisfied, "As for side effects, there are none!"
"How long will it take?" Davis got excited for a moment before he gritted his teeth and asked . If it took a year, then he was determined to reveal his secret to his mother so that he could continue to remove the seal without making her go unconscious .
No matter what, he felt that his mother would in no way betray him .
After a moment, it replied, "A day . . . "
"A day? I got it . . . " Davis nodded his head for a moment, then suddenly felt that something was not right .
"Hmm? A day!? Only a day?" His eyes widened in disbelief .
"More or less! Hmph! If my powers weren't sealed, then it wouldn't even take me a millisecond to erase this seal!"
Davis floated there stunned . He couldn't fathom what kind of existence this Death Note was in this universe .
"Didn't you say that you unsealed yourself after a billion years of being sealed in that mini world?" Davis couldn't help but ask . His voice tinged with curiosity towards this anomaly .
"Kid, what I managed to unseal was the seal that restricted my freedom . My powers are still sealed, and it is difficult to unseal it by myself . Luckily, I merged with your soul . The stronger your soul becomes, the weaker my seal gets . "
"Is this why you stayed with me?" Davis narrowed his eyes .
"Hehe, you could say that!" It replied as it laughed .
Davis heaved a sigh of relief . Now that he knew that both were benefiting from this partnership, he could stop doubting it all the time . He believed as long as he could provide it with some benefits, it will continue to be with him .
"Then let's get started!"
Suddenly, the soul strand he inserted into Claire's soul sea, turned incredibly dark as if it turned malicious .
Black gaseous substance oozed out from the soul strand as it approached the seal in an eerie manner .
Davis who watched that couldn't help but feel cold .
"Are you evil?" He involuntarily asked .
There was a moment of silence, "Evil? I don't know . But if you were to judge me by your human standards, then I have to say that I'm incomparably evil than any existence in the universe . After all, people only used me to kill, kill and kill . " A reply sounded out in his mind, causing Davis to enter into a moment of contemplation .
He quickly shook his head and concentrated on eradicating that seal . The Death Note provided him with dark evil energy while he guided it to the seal slowly .
The dark gaseous substance made contact with the seal and started to corrode it as it spread around the chains evenly . Sizzling sounds sounded out as the chains started to melt and disappear .
"Hmm? Boy, l forgot to include your soul prowess in my calculations . Looks like it won't even take half a day to erase this seal . " It was just a few seconds, but it was able to immediately notice the difference in the speed of erasing that seal .
Hearing that, Davis smirked, feeling proud of himself .
Time passed as he concentrated hard to melt the chains surrounding the blob of light .
Just when he melted the last connecting chain, the white blob of light trembled for a moment before scattering around the soul sea .
The chains that extended to the horizons disappeared as if it was never there in the first place .
"Is this a success?" Davis asked as he looked around the empty space .
"Should be . . . " It replied .
He nodded his head and disappeared from the soul sea .
. . .
Davis shuddered as he opened his eyes . He removed his finger from his mother's glabella and hurriedly checked her state .
Claire was drenched in sweat, and her eyebrows were narrowed while her breathing was rapid .
Davis hurriedly grabbed her hands and woke her up, "Mom! Wake up! It's me! Davis!"
Claire still had her eyes closed, not at all responding to his call .
"Use your soul to startle her awake . " The crisp voice echoed in his mind .
Davis quickly used his soul to shout into her mind, "Mom!"
Claire opened her eyes as she immediately woke up and tried to catch her breath in a hurried manner .
"Mom, what had happened?" Davis asked worriedly . Even though it said that there will be no side-effects, he couldn't help but be worried .
After catching her breath, Claire looked at her son and tried to smile, "Nothing happened, it's just I was stuck in a nightmare . " Claire replied and looked at her clothes which was drenched by her sweat .
"Wait here, mom will clean up in a few minutes . " She caressed his cheeks, stood up and headed to the bath .
"Hmm . " Davis acknowledged and saw her heading to the bath .
Claire opened the door to the bath and went inside as she closed the door .
"Hey!" Davis shouted furiously in his mind .
"That is not a side-effect of the removal of the seal . It is merely the side-effect of using my powers in her soul sea . Didn't she tell you that she had a nightmare? Calm down . " It replied, causing him to make sense of the situation .
"Using your powers on someone's soul can cause nightmares?" He asked doubtfully,
"My power is aligned with death . Why don't you think about it? Besides, the soul is a miraculous entity . Even if anything untoward were to happen to it, you wouldn't be able to find a reason for it unless you are well versed in the understanding of the soul!"
Davis took in its words as he got tired . There were simply too many things that he didn't know about or couldn't understand in this world .
He stood up and went towards the cradle . He stood in front of it and whispered, "Compared to your sisters, I spent very little time with you . Hope you don't hate me for it, little brother . "
He warmly touched Edward's cheeks as he caressed it .
"Big brother is sorry, by the time you are self-aware, big-brother would have already left for a different place . In those times, I hope that you will take care of our parents and sisters . "
"Uwuu . . . "
A cute noise sounded out as if the baby was acknowledging his words .
As of now, Edward Loret, the second prince of the Loret Empire, was just a year old .
