Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 41: Battle Techniques

After that, Claire and Logan apologized to Clara for their irresponsible actions and behavior. They assured her that they would never lie or deceive her again while also indirectly mentioning that they would not act inappropriately in front of them.

Davis also watched this comical sight as he thought that it served them right. However, for the latter, he doubted that intimacy was something people could control whenever they faced their beloved.

'This horny couple…' Davis shook his head, but in truth, he was just jealous.

After all, he might be a child physically but not mentally. It would be a lie if he said that he wasn't pent up mentally. His immature body didn't rather let him be intimate with women.

This was undoubtedly a curse in his perspective.

After this situation concluded, he bid farewell to Clara. He then made his way to his Study. Just when he was halfway there, he got blocked by two fierce and aggrieved silhouettes.

He suddenly grew to have a bad feeling about this when he looked at their two faces.

"Mhm? Why are you two here for?" His tone carried nervousness.

Logan cracked his fists, "Claire, I think there's this one calf over here who doesn't understand his position."

"That rascal! How courageous of him to insult the Emperor and the Empress?" Claire piped in, actually not knowing how to act unrefined.

Davis took a step back as he felt something's about to happen.

"What do you think we should do about this brat who thinks that he is so smart?"

"I am thinking of…" Just before Claire could answer, Davis ran away!

Davis tried to run, and when he was hallway at the end of the corridor, Logan captured him over his neck.

"Claire, can I…" Logan grinned.

"Permission granted!"

'Sh*t!'

Davis shouted inwardly. At that moment, he knew that his life became forfeit.

*Bang!~* *Bang!~* *Bang!~*

*Bang!~* *Bang!~* *Bang!~*

After some time, Davis could be seen battered while being carried by Ellia to his Study with severe external injuries. Rumors spread about that one night in the Royal Castle, about how a lonely ghost screaming miserably can be heard at that time.

=======

A week passed slowly, and Davis's external injuries healed gradually.

Today, he healed completely. His parents didn't let him heal quickly and grounded him for a week. They also made these as his punishment.

"One day, I'll teach that horny couple what it means to suffer…" Davis muttered as he blew his long blonde hair.

He didn't quite think that they would injure him, although it wasn't anything severe as it did not leave any consequences. Claire just watched with a determined gaze while Logan gave all the beatings.

Of course, he didn't mean what he said either, as he knew that he had rather gone overboard when he humiliated them in front of Clara.

Who knows? They might have actually felt mortified to stand like a guilty convict in front of Clara.

"Davis, since you are fully healed now, why don't we stroll around the Royal Castle," Ellia said with a sweet voice.

She pretty much knew how he got injured, but she only laughed when he heard his plight. She truly became a friend, and only friends would laugh when their friends get injured over a silly matter.

"Seems like a good idea." Davis stretched and stood up. He exercised his body and warmed up.

He stayed in the Study while recuperating his injuries and didn't go anywhere out since he was grounded, and that caused his body to be a little rusted.

Only Ellia was there for him at this time, mostly taking care of his injuries.

"Alright, let's go." Davis then held her hands as he dragged her out of the Study. He then made his way to the Imperial Library with Ellia in tow, wanting to get her some Battle Techniques that might suit her.

Just when they arrived in front of the Library, he saw Librarian Oxford.

They both greeted each other, and just when he passed by, he was stopped by Librarian Oxford.

"Prince, bringing a maid into the Imperial Library is forbidden," Oxford said with a straight face and then added, "Even if it is your personal maid."

In the past of the Loret Empire, the maids obtain favor from the royal members and sometimes cause chaos, and for this reason, their entrance to the Imperial Library was completely revoked. Other than this, there was also the matter of status to consider, so the maids had no say and were completely suppressed existences.

Davis narrowed his eyes. He had a good impression of the Librarian before, and he still did have, but the next words he heard irritated him.

"You are just a maid, don't bite off more than you can chew." Librarian Oxford berated Ellia with a cold gaze.

"Y-Yes, I'll just wait here for… Prince Davis," Ellia responded as she put her head down, a little scared.

'Just a maid?' Davis closed his eyes because he felt anger.

He didn't think the Librarian would be this type of person. He reasoned that the other party was just doing his job, but the last sentence he uttered to Ellia that would make her feel humiliated went quite overboard.

"Oxford!" Davis suddenly spoke.

"Prince?" Librarian Oxford trembled when he heard that shout. He had a vague feeling that his soul was suppressed at that moment when Davis shouted.

"I'll say the same, don't bite more than you can chew. Since when did you get the authority to lecture my personal maid?"

"But… Pri…" Librarian Oxford tried to explain.

Davis widened his eyes, "Where is your answer?"

"I dare not anymore." Oxford put his head down.

"This shall be your last warning then…"

Davis nodded and stepped forward, "Ellia, let's go."

"But, my Prince! The rules say…"

Davis shot a look at Librarian Oxford, which ultimately shut him up.

They then walked inside and searched for some Battle Techniques suitable for Ellia.

"Prince, there was no need for that. I could have stayed outside and not cause you any trouble," Ellia remarked dejectedly.

She was happy that he helped her but knew that he would ultimately get into trouble for this event.

'He was just punished by the Emperor. How can he be so protective of me?' She thought, a vague sense of affection filling her heart.

"There's no need to worry about me, Ellia. Worry about yourself." Davis just smiled back at her.

Ellia's expression sprouted a smile back at him as she nodded.

Davis thought that he had revealed her a little too soon, and the situation seemed like he was too protective of her. If word gets out, then trouble will soon follow her naturally, twisting that Ellia, the personal maid, had seduced the little prince for whatever reasons the heavens forbid.

He perfectly understood this but thought, 'Whatever, at that time, I'll just protect her again.'

In any case, he wasn't afraid of trouble, and the only ones who would dare talk against him were his parents. He felt that his parents would rather not make this much of a problem since they gave him free rein, but that too depended on his actions that do not go overboard.

"Ellia, since you just cultivate the same Cultivation Manuals as me, I'll find a suitable version for you as well."

"Mhm…" Ellia nodded obediently, listening to his advice.

Davis then went, brought out some books from the shelves, and returned after a few minutes.

"First of all, these are the copies of all the Battle Techniques I train in but actually, I have already finished training in all these…"

He pointed at each one of these books and explained slowly.

"This is the Devastating Lightning Palm, a Low-Level Sky Grade Battle Technique. It can cause a devastating effect if you manage to hit the opponent's body with your palm by using this technique. They will be in a sorry state as their internal organs will be fried at the targeted place."

Listening to the description, she nodded her head.

"And this one over here is the… cough, Silent Erupting Finger, also a Low-Level Sky Grade Battle Technique. This technique is a little difficult to train in, other than that, it is a powerful technique that concentrates all your Body Tempering Cultivation strength in your finger to erupt with incredible piercing power. This technique is useful for killing someone silently in the shadows."

Hearing that, Ellia's face went pale. She imagined her finger piercing into a person's chest. She restrained herself from retching right there and somehow calmed down.

Davis noticed that something was wrong with her, but he continued anyway. He needed his new friend, Ellia, to become a strong person if she was going to stay with him.

"This is the final one, known as Thunder Cloud Movement. This is the fastest movement technique that our Empire currently possesses. It's a Mid-Level Sky Grade Movement Technique. It creates a little sound that echoes like a clap of thunder when utilized."

"The first step you take while using this technique is an explosive step that you can use to quickly reach people's blind spot even in the Fifth Stage."

"So powerful!" Ellia gasped in astonishment.

Even lower grade battle techniques had more or less the same description, but the power exhibited would obviously be different.

"When used in sync with the First Layer of Extinction Lightning Judgement, it shows an ability that's on par with a Peak-Level Sky Grade Technique, or so I heard…" Davis indifferently pursed his lips.
