Chapter 118
"You! I'm not a scumbag!" Davis tried to stand up but was inadvertently suppressed by her vigorous soul energy .
"I assume that your silence in this matter means a vivid yes . Then I hope you don't regret it later on . Hmm? What, you ask? About the fact that you missed the perfect opportunity to kill me!"
Davis finally stood up, but the moment he looked in her direction, he stared at an empty space .
"She disappeared . . . " Narrowing his eyes, he looked left and right and realised the pressure on him had disappeared . It left a bad taste in his mind, as he was totally ignored and one-sidedly crushed to the ground .
"Davis!" At that moment, Logan who had been suppressed by the soul energy quickly made his way to him .
Davis looked at his father who had a solemn face .
Logan stood beside him as he held his shoulders, "What exactly happened!?"
Shaking his head, Davis replied, "I don't know, Ellia suddenly turned into a nonsense-spewing white witch and disappeared . "
Logan then hurriedly checked his injuries, "Are you injured?"
"I'm fine, but my soul is injured . I'll go back to the study to recuperate . " He replied and felt saddened at her disappearance . He still had no idea of what had happened to Ellia .
"Alright, make sure to heal yourself completely . . . " Logan uttered as he checked his surroundings, but if one carefully looked at him, they could see that he was trembling slightly .
Davis could tell that he was quite shaken from the events that had happened just now . He couldn't blame him because the pressure he experienced had frightened the shit out of him as well . The pressure that snow white girl let out was quite intimidating .
"Father, there's no need to worry . She left, and didn't cause any causalities . "
Logan looked at him and finally heaved a sigh of relief before widening his eyes incredulously, "You're right . . . But how did she? Wait! Did you say Ellia? How did she gain that much power!?"
"I don't know, it might be because she was possessed by something . The only matter I'm sure of is that body is undoubtedly Ellia's!" Davis said as he gritted his teeth .
Anger surged in his eyes as he thought of Ellia's innocent smile and tender eyes turning into a cold one .
Walking away silently, he headed to the study while Claire arrived at the scene before she started to investigate .
. . .
A day passed before things turned calm, but at that moment a certain news exploded in the Royal Capital .
"The High Line Slave Traders had been exterminated?" Davis questioned as his eyes flickered .
Claire nodded her head, "More than ten thousand people who belong to it are dead . Witnesses say that they saw a little girl with black and white hair flying around the headquarters of the High Line Slave Traders . "
He narrowed his eyes as he thought, 'Weird, isn't the headquarters of High Line Slave Traders the place where Ellia grew up?'
"They were the ones who auctioned off Ellia . " Seeing his expression, Claire confirmed his thoughts .
"But it doesn't make any sense! Don't tell me that the one who possessed Ellia wanted to help her get revenge? If that is so, then why did she try to kill me?" David had a frustrated look on his face .
Yesterday, after he had returned to the study, he questioned the death note but it was not at all willing to answer . It only asked for him to come to ask questions when he had successfully reached the next level in Soul Forging Cultivation .
On top of that, even if he had wanted to confront with the possessed Ellia, it was not possible as he was overwhelmingly weak in front of her Soul Cultivation .
"What if it turns out to be the same case as you?" Claire suddenly asked with a concerned expression on her face .
"Same case as me?" Instantly, he thought of his origin and how he came to this world, 'A transmigrator?'
He quickly erased the thought and looked at her .
Claire was also looking back at him as they came to an understanding and said at the same time, "A reincarnator!"
Davis instantly stood up as he banged the table, "It all freaking makes sense! All the weird and suspicious actions that Ellia did before was undoubtedly under the influence of her previous incarnation!" His eyes glowed, he was fifty percent sure of his speculation .
He then widened his eyes as he clutched his head, "Ellia mentioned that she had been experiencing nightmares for about a month! I am an idiot! If I had just listened to her problems, then I should've been able to do something about it!"
Paah!
Claire slapped him with an angry face, bringing him out of his self-blame session, "Don't be so arrogant! Your master might have noticed but didn't do anything to stop her previous incarnation from taking over her body! What makes you think you could have done something about it?"
Davis went silent, he couldn't rebuke his mom's statement .
"Leave her!" Her face was serious .
"But mom! No way!" Davis instantly rejected as he shook his head and stepped back .
Claire also shook her head hurriedly, "I'm not asking you to leave her permanently, I'm asking you to become strong with the help of your master . Once you have enough strength, you can save her then if it is possible!"
Davis nodded blankly he heard his mother, "Alright, I'll do as mother says . . . "
Claire then hurriedly embraced him, "Good child . . . "
Claire looked at his calm face, but she knew that he must have taken a huge blow by not being able to save Ellia .
She had been not able to save her father all this time, so she knew the pain of not being able to save their loved ones .
Claire caressed his head as she tried to comfort him . Davis stayed silent as he thought about what he could have done in that scenario but nothing came to his mind .
The death note won't provide him with any help unless he broke through, but to breakthrough, he needed to kill the emperors who had a good relationship with him .
At that moment, he got a sudden urge to kill them to make himself powerful, but feeling the warmth from his mother's embrace, he slightly shook his head as he dissolved that thought .
It felt like he was stranded in an island all alone by himself without any help, except he was bathing in the warm sunlight which mended his soul to an extent .
Suddenly he felt his soul and heart beating in resonance, it was as if they were sinking in harmony, he felt as if he were floating in the warm sky .
He saw a golden light, floating in the airspace above him . He felt like he had to grab it no matter what, but when he tried, he couldn't move his body .
The feeling of harmony disappeared and he was back in his mother's embrace . He removed her hands and looked at her in confusion .
"What?" Claire asked as he looked at his confused face .
Davis then explained it to her on what he had felt like just now .
As he was explaining, Claire's expression changed midway into astonishment before later turning into excitement .
