Divine Emperor of Death

The Amberal-Armored Armadillo flew far before it crashed on the wet rainy-soil, rolling on it before dragging the dirt along with its body as it came to a stop, creating a ditch in the process. The two legs that pointed towards the sky fell on the ground as a thud echoed, its body remaining unmoving.

However, its limbs suddenly shook and trembled, appearing to be still alive.

While the other Amberal-Armored Armadillos were dumbfounded, unable to react, Davis narrowed his eyes as he clicked his tongue, "I failed to kill it..."

He disappeared from his location and directly appeared above the place where the vicious-looking, no, the battered and bloodied Amberal-Armored Armadillo fell and unleashed an ordinary punch right towards its face.

The Amberal-Armored Armadillo just opened its eyes in utter pain when it suddenly saw a fist heading towards its forehead.

"No-WRYYYY!!!"

Only a scream managed to leave its body before its armadillo head burst apart, its blood splashing to the surroundings, even painting Davis's entire figure in crimson blood, but it disappeared as the martial energy barrier he set up was retracted before being stimulated again, letting him appear unstained.

He pulled back his fist and absorbed its soul essence before taking its body into his spatial ring. He turned back as his lips moved.

"Then... does anyone care to reveal the hideout of your boss?"

"Damn you!~" Another Amberal-Armored Armadillo instantly pounced towards him with its sharp nails leaving a trail as if it were a sword.

"What the..." Davis became flabbergasted.

The Amberal-Armored Armadillo arrived in front of him as it jumped and slashed with its long nail, sending an energy wave flying at him. Davis dodged the amber-colored slash and retreated a kilometer in an instant. If he had received that attack with his arms, he knew that he would be injured because it was the other High-Level Lord Beast Stage Magical Beast in the group.

Judging by how it reacted, he assumed that he probably killed its lover or its kin. However, he didn't expect that these Amberal-Armored Armadillos would use their long nails as swords.

"All of you! Tear this human into pieces and devour him!!!" Tears fell from its eyes as it pointed at Davis.

*WRYYYY!!!~~*

A resounding bellow erupted from the numerous Amberal-Armored Armadillos in front of him. The Lord Beast Stage Amberal-Armored Armadillos used their legs, some flew, and some curled into balls as they came at him.

"This is a bit problematic..." Davis uttered as he saw the first one shoot at him in a frenzy, its long nails gleaming with an amber light.

The thought of using Fallen Heaven or his soul force flashed past in his mind, but he quickly removed it and readied himself.

It arrived right before him as it lifted up its arms before slashing down at him. Davis didn't bother to block and moved forward to enter its blind spot below when it suddenly retracted its attack and turned around, showing its back to him.

Davis was about to land a punch on its armor when he was suddenly attacked by a long-sharp nail that came from both sides!

His eyes went wide as he didn't think that these Amberal-Armored Armadillos could cooperate! He instantly ducked to avoid his upper body being skewered by two long-sharp nails, but his pupils dilated as he instantly erected a martial barrier in front of him! 

*Boom!~*

A thick leg with long-sharp nails ruthlessly struck the martial barrier in front of him, but it failed to shatter and sent him flying instead. However, Davis intentionally borrowed its momentum to retreat three kilometers. When he regained balance and floated above the wet ground, he appeared unharmed.

However, there was a rabid excitement painted on his expression as he looked at the three Mid-Level Amberal-Armored Armadillos work in combination to kill him. 

"Hehehe... It has no tail, so it used a back kick to catch me off-guard...? These Amberal-Armored Armadillos knows how to make their attacks count..." Davis murmured as he saw the one in the center. 

It seemed to be leading the other two, but nevertheless, he was still astonished. Their entire backs were covered in armor, so he found it difficult to see what kind of attack would come next. 

If he didn't have his sense of danger with him... Davis felt a chill on his back! That was a certain hit to the face, but he reacted before it even moved its armor to let out a lethal back kick! Otherwise, he could've been critically injured!

Davis suddenly narrowed his brows. There were eight of them remaining, but he could only see six of them. Two of them quickly arrived above him as they flew and curled into a ball before launching towards him like cannons from the momentum they created.

"You Low-Level Lord Beast Stage Amberal-Armored Armadillos are getting on your high horses!" Davis chuckled and readied his fist to unleash a punch. However, his sense of danger suddenly tingled him as his pupils looked down on the wet ground.

'The other two are below me?'

A slight curve appeared on his lips as he placed his palm on the ground and uttered, "Earth Dragon Shatters the Earth!"

Golden light erupted from his palm before it entered the wet ground! Two muffled cries could be heard as cracks appeared on the soil while Davis chose to be pushed back from the impact as he flew above, dodging the two air assailants.

The two air assailants crashed on the ground Davis stood, and the whole surrounding kilometer caved in like a swamp, and among the rocks and sand, what appeared to be falling below further were two bloodied forms of Low-Level Lord Beast Stage Amberal-Armored Armadillos. 

The other Amberal-Armored Armadillos red eyes shrunk as they saw the aftermath. Those two who tried to attack from the ground were dead!

Instantly, numerous gazes filled with killing intent seemed to target Davis again as he flew in the air.

By now, he already discovered that by covering their bodies with earth-attribute as he does, they make their bodies more resilient, their armors more enduring, and their long-sharp nails sharper!

He knew that it wouldn't go easy as the first Amberal-Armored Armadillo that died from his didn't seem to use its energy to cover its armor, enabling him to shatter it into bits easily. The other Amberal-Armored Armadillos were not fools and realized that he had taken advantage of its underestimation. Hence, they instantly launched an all-out attack on him without hesitation!

"Don't look at me like that... I already told you magical beasts to call your boss, but you all didn't, and considering that your boss still hasn't appeared..." Davis wryly smiled, "It must be a cowardly magical beast..."

"Bastard~!!!" The High-Level Lord Beast Stage Amberal-Armored Armadillo became enraged and shot towards him with frenzy, its twenty-meter tall silhouette making the ground shake in its wake.

Davis shook his head and walked towards the enraged Amberal-Armored Armadillo in a calm manner. He appeared calm, but a cold glint shone in his sapphire eyes. 

The Amberal-Armored Armadillo arrived and pounced on him, its long-sharp nails held together in a deadly manner! If it pierced, he would be split into two!

However, Davis disappeared from where he stood, causing the Amberal-Armored Armadillo's eyes to widen. It came to a stop and looked around with its pupils, but when it tried to move its body, it found that it was unable to move.

Davis reappeared again, but he was behind the Amberal-Armored Armadillo with his back facing its back. His demeanor was as if he considered the Amberal-Armored Armadillo behind him to be no longer living but dead.

The Amberal-Armored Armadillo sensed him, but its pupils started visibly shaking in fear before its whole body split apart into two from the head to its non-existent tail. Even the armor was clearly split apart from head to toe, making it cleanly sever into two without a spill of blood.

Only after both parts of its body fell did the blood stain the wet ground, mixing with the gentle drizzle.

Davis raised his head, and his two sapphire pupils reflected an emerald gleam as he looked at the long shimmering blade he held. The dark clouds and the flashes of lightning made it additionally seem magnificent!

"It is remarkably exquisite, sharp, and stunning! As expected of Sophie Alstreim's and Krax Alstreim's King Grade forging skills!"

"Marvelous!" Davis couldn't help but praise as he held the Grieving Emerald Scythe!

He gave a glance to the back and saw that the dead Amberal-Armored Armadillo lay on its own pool of blood. So what if it was a High-Level Lord Beast Stage Amberal-Armored Armadillo? Could it block the sharpness of a Peak-Level King Grade Armament!?

He had jumped and only needed a single swirl with the Grieving Emerald Scythe to slice the Amberal-Armored Armadillo apart. Even its amberal-armor couldn't impede it! It was like cutting tofu, seamless as he experienced no resistance. 

He was completely enamored with the Grieving Emerald Scythe than the Low-Level Emperor Grade Spear he possessed!

"Stop!" An angry voice echoed in the surroundings as an Amberal-Armored Armadillo suddenly burrowed out of the wet ground. It possessed the same features as the other Lord Beast Stage Amberal-Armored Armadillos, but it possessed a commanding presence and a heavy aura that instantly suppressed all other Amberal-Armored Armadillos.

'Huh? A King-Tier Amberal-Armored Armadillo...?' Davis narrowed his eyes before he shook his head a moment later, 'A baleful aura... It rules the others in its clan through fear, huh?'

It became apparent as soon as he saw the other Amberal-Armored Armadillos kowtowing towards it as their bodies shook. Well, in the magical beast world, this was extremely common, so he didn't mind it. He was going to kill it anyway.

The Peak-Level Lord Beast Stage Amberal-Armored Armadillo saw the aftermath and pointed at him as it bellowed.

"WRYYY!~ You went too far, you Alstreim Family brat! Isn't the yearly offerings my clan provides enough for you!?"

"Offerings...?" Davis became taken aback as he revealed a confused expression.

Offerings? What offerings?
