Divine Emperor of Death

"What happened, Niera? You look like you're feeling down. Did something happen?" Keira Alstreim walked towards them as she asked with a worried expression on her face.

"What is this? Our cute Niera is depressed? For what reason?" Ezekiel Alstreim appeared with a smile on his face, looking presentable without any apparent worry in his life.

Nero Alstreim awkwardly laughed and was just about to reveal that Niera had her heartbroken when a voice suddenly echoed.

"Why are you all acting as if things are okay?" Niera Alstreim trembled.

"Haha, the situation is fine. There's no need for a little girl like you to worry about us..." Ezekiel Alstreim waved his hands.

Niera Alstreim smiled in an eerie manner as she looked at them, "Fine, if it is going to be like this, then I'll have it my way. If any one of you make a foolish decision like sacrificing yourself or a newborn child, then I will commit suicide!"

"What!?"

"What are you saying, Niera!?"

Everyone's expression turned serious and awry, wondering why she would suddenly utter something like this when Nero Alstreim sent them a soul transmission, saying that she had her heartbroken.

"I'm not kidding." Niera Alstreim's expression turned solemn as her eyes.

"The correct answer for the trial is to not sacrifice! If it is something else, then it is the world that is in the wrong! Then it is the heavens that sealed us in this space that is wrong! That's why if I lose anyone one of you or see you betray the person you love, I will kill myself out of disappointment!"

"Niera!" Keira Alstreim bellowed her to stop with wide eyes.

"You're going to stop me? Go ahead! But it isn't like you can stop me from suddenly killing myself on a random day! Niera Alstreim threatened with a rabid look, but her face suddenly turned as a sound echoed.

*Paah!~*

"Insolent child, you have gone too far..." Keira Alstreim's bosoms shook as her eyes became moist. The hand that slapped reached out to wrap Niera Alstreim in their embrace before Keira Alstreim voiced.

"Everything is fine... okay? We talked it out when you left and decided not to sacrifice anyone."

It momentarily became silent before a voice echoed.

"Really...?" Niera Alstreim's voice sobbed as she simply laid her head on her mother's bosoms.

Keira Alstreim looked at the other two and saw them nod their heads with a solemn expression on their faces as if they had only now come to a decision not to make a sacrifice. She nodded her head in return with a satisfied smile and brushed Niera Alstreim's silky blonde hair affectionately as she consoled.

"Yes, we can't choose any other option than refusing to sacrifice. Silly child, I know that you're heartbroken enough to be depressed, but don't say something like you're going to kill yourself, especially when your emotions are muddled."

"Mhmm... I understand..." Niera Alstreim tightly held her mother as she sobbed before she raised her head and shouted, "I believe in you, all of you!"

"Haha, I didn't think this lad would make us determined enough to give an answer. Sigh, even though it was my trial, I placed the burden on all of you by sharing it. It was my mistake... I apologize."

"What are you saying, grandpa?" Nero Alstreim shook his head, "If you didn't say it, we wouldn't have arrived at this point, and a heart demon might've made you think of another decision. If it weren't for Niera suddenly saying something like this, we possibly couldn't have determined ourselves as you said."

"In any case, Niera's shout has attracted attention. We should leave..."

"Yes..."

While they were suddenly all smiles, Davis had his expression taken aback when he heard Niera Alstreim's bellow. It was as if it was directed towards him rather than them. 

'Does she know that I'm listening...?' He blinked but felt that she was wary about the concealed Nadia.

Nadia was in the cave, so there wasn't a worry about that, but she could still muse that he would be hidden somewhere in the woods as he listened to them. Nevertheless, he narrowed his eyes as a strange light could be seen in his purple pupils.

'She's at this precarious situation where she should be unsure of her family's life and death but still has the gall to believe me?' Davis's heart softened as he felt a bit of affection towards her even when he felt that she was a foolish woman.

'I'm starting to feel like I want her, but then, this isn't time for that...'

A soul body appeared in front of him before it erected a sign in front of the cultivation cave that said that he had entered closed-door cultivation relating to his breakthrough and that he was not to be disturbed unless there was an emergency or they wanted to become his enemy.

Now, even if someone came to check on him, they wouldn't suspect anything as he was clear that they could not differentiate if he was a soul-body or not except for Ezekiel Alstreim.

He then flew off from the place as he headed towards the Immortal Inheritance, feeling complicated about Niera Alstreim. She might be smart in some cases and naive in some, but if she can trust him with this, then she can trust him with everything else as well, making him think that she was suitable for him.

'I wonder if Evelynn and the others would get mad or accept if I bring Niera back home...'

======

Soon, with all the intermittent thoughts he had about Niera Alstreim, he quickly reached the dark barrier and penetrated it with his death-like energy as he got inside.

*Whoosh!~*

"Master!"

A dark figure flashed and manifested in front of him as it wrapped its arm around his neck.

Davis's eyes went wide as he felt Nadia's bosoms pressed against his chest, making him feel both horny and strange as she was such beauty yet magical beast. Nevertheless, he maintained his calm and asked.

"What's wrong, Nadia?" He realized that she had never embraced him like this before.

"Master, I missed you..."

Nadia separated and uttered with an entrancing red expression that made Davis dumbfounded. Realization suddenly dawned on him that she had never left his side ever since becoming his magical beast mount, so of course, she would be feeling lonely on not seeing him for an entire week.

He felt apologetic about forgetting such a simple fact.

"Nadia, I- Mhmm-"

His mouth suddenly felt a succulent feel of a sweet lip as it pressed on him, making his eyes widen into two saucers! Nadia held his head as she passionately kissed him with lips while her tongue instantly sought to enter his mouth.

A light was lit up in his nether region that Davis simultaneously grabbed her waist as he began to passionately respond to her kiss while letting her tongue enter his before he pushed her back with his own lips.

Delectable... was what Davis felt as they passionately responded, feeling each other's taste as if they wanted to savor it for a long time before they somehow fell on the floor, feeling the cold surface.

Davis felt like he could no longer endure as he breathed heavily while looking at the extreme beauty in front of him. Her face was covered with a red hue that she looked like a lovely apple. His rod had grown and hit her nether region through their clothes, causing him to feel her intimate warmth. 

However, it was as if a splash of water poured on Nadia that her starstruck eyes suddenly had a semblance of panic. With her magical beast's physical strength, she abruptly pushed Davis away and disappeared into the void.

Davis rolled on the floor for two, three meters away as the lustful light in his eyes faded before it came to reality, slowly feeling his heart pounding like crazy before the thought of disbelief popped up in his mind.

'What did I do just now...!?'

It wasn't like he wasn't aware, but he could not believe that he did it just now!

But... why, why did she kiss him right now but yet become panicked once he was about to take her? He felt like he had to know!

"Nadia, come out and explain yourself..." He spoke as he stood up.

"..."

However, even after waiting for a while, she didn't appear, causing him to narrow his eyes before he looked towards the exit. The soul connection they possessed told him that she had gone out of the cave and kept moving far away from him as possible before she stopped.

"She escaped?" He uttered, feeling awkward all of a sudden. Nevertheless, he took a step forward and walked towards the exit and saw that she retreated the same distance, causing him to stop.

"You don't want to talk about why you did that?" Davis shook his head as he ultimately calmed down, feeling that she would be feeling awkward as well, "Fine, take your time."

However, what was the reason for this sudden kiss? Was it because she felt lonely?

Davis's expression suddenly brightened and found an answer as to why he had strange thoughts on Nadia now. 

'It's because of Mival and Zanna's existence... I should've known...' Davis thought in exasperation, feeling that it might be the same for Nadia. 

No, he definitely felt that it might've put in strange thoughts in Nadia as it did for him.

These few months, he was overly conscious of Nadia that he began to see her as a woman the more she was with him. It was impossible for him not to hold any kind of feelings for her that he didn't even bother to think and jumped on her after passionately sharing a kiss.

Perhaps, he was too hasty, but he calmed himself down with a few deep breaths before he turned around and walked towards the narrow passageway, entering the underground cave.

After some time passed, the dark barrier rippled, and a dark light manifested into a gorgeous woman with a golden crescent on her forehead. She had her finger placed on her lips as she licked it.

"Master's kiss... I have finally gotten my reward..." Nadia uttered with a faint red hue of satisfaction on her face. However, the hue on her cheeks became even more crimson when she felt that they were almost about to dual cultivate!

The abrupt feeling of his thing penetrating her made her scared and confused that she instantly escaped from his grasp! Even though this was her first time almost doing it, she had seen many of the other wolves mate back in the Sunset Tear Mountain, but this was different. They were of different races that she couldn't help but think if what she did was right.

'Would Master come to hate me now...?'

However, Nadia shook her head, feeling that might not be the case because she felt the desire he had for her. It only took a moment for her to relax before she disappeared into the void again.

'Whatever it may be, I must go protect Master now!'
