Divine Emperor of Death-Novel

Chapter 2359 Third Pact?

"What? You haven't left yet?" Davis chuckled.

His amused voice caused Katherine Hilltail to come out of her reverie.

"Ma-master, did you cure me?"

Davis's expression became confused, "Why would you think that?"

"That… that's because… there is no way I could've regained my blood vitality in such a short amount of time or have my tailbone reconstructed, allowing me to control over my tail!"

Katherine Hilltail screamed out as tears ran down her face.

"What? Your tailbone is healed!? Your blood essence has rejuvenated? Looks like I have gained an immense benefit by purchasing you. The heavens have blessed me!"

"Wha-"Katherine Hilltail saw Davis stand up and act dumb that anger surged in her crying eyes, "Master, I know it's you. You asked me if my tail was not crippled, would I be able to make a better decision? I still remember those kind words. It cannot be a mistake! You are the one who healed me!"

Davis's wide smile receded once he saw anger appear on her face.

'Looks like her pride as a Rumbling Earthtail Lion has been restored a bit...' He couldn't help but chuckle before he waved his sleeve.

"Alright, you can think properly now. Since you didn't leave upon waking up but came back here, I'll ask you once again. Are you willing to participate in an experiment that has a fifty percent chance of survival? If you survived, perhaps you'll become strong as my Nadia over here."p

Davis gently smiled as he caressed Nadia's small puppy face. She also gently stroked her head against him, wanting to be caressed more.

"…"

Meanwhile, Katherine Hilltail's panic receded, replaced with some calm as she thought about his words. Her gaze stayed on Nadia, wondering just how strong she was, but even at such a close range, she couldn't tell her cultivation.

Moreover, she still didn't know how Davis had healed her, but she imagined that he treated her with some heavenly resource that restored her blood vitality and also caused her body to heal. There were some heavenly resources like that in her inherited memories. However, obtaining them was extremely difficult, causing her to feel indebted to him.

She couldn't understand head or tail about the situation. After all, what use did she have for him to use such a grand resource on her? But clenching her teeth and fists, she decided.

"Master, I want to become strong and serve you for saving me. If I die in the process, I'll just consider myself unlucky."

"Fine determination."

Davis's black eyes flashed as he could tell that her determination wasn't faked. She really was prepared to die, adopting a do-or-die attitude. Perhaps, healing her was the right decision, after all. Now, he can say to himself that he didn't force her as opposed to his conscience.

"Come here. Let's form a beast pact."

"…" Katherine Hilltail blinked before she recalled that the slave seal on her really was destroyed.

She had been freed. But with this, she would once again belong to him. Taking a deep breath, she walked towards him with her dainty steps like a cat, making as little noise as possible before hesitantly taking his hand.

Davis cast the Transitory Beast Taming Pact he had with Nadia and Everlight.

Instantly, Katherine Hilltail could feel a burst of closeness with Davis. However, her expression turned shocked.

"This… this is an equal soul pact?"

It didn't take a genius to tell that she wasn't restricted in this soul pact. If she wanted, she could break it and leave, causing her to become dumbfounded.

"What did you expect?" Davis's lips curved, "That I would force you to sleep with me today using the slave seal or tyrannical soul pact?"

"…"

Having her thoughts laid out, Katherine Hilltail was not only speechless but also ashamed. Was she the only one thinking about how she would be conquered by some stranger today?

Nonetheless, the Transitory Beast Taming Pact was a success, but at the same time, she felt a terrible shock as she turned to look at Nadia.

"A Level One Immortal Beast…"

To think that her Master had tamed such a beast while still being a mortal, she was truly in awe.

"…!"

However, upon feeling another aura that made her soul quiver, she took her hand off Davis's palm as she flinched, falling to her butt as she saw Nadia's purplish-golden eyes staring down at her.

"Emp-Emperor Tier!!!"The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novelenglish.net . Firᴇ.nᴇt

Katherine Hilltail was mortified. Her copper pupils were dilated in fear. After all, even if the Emperor-Tier Immortal Beast wasn't from her species, it still had her reeling in shock and apprehension because this beast's prowess was six levels higher!

How come such a terrifying beast also possessed a beast pact with her Master!?

'Wait…! How come I possess a beast pact with such a master!?' Her mind was in chaos, causing her to be unable to think properly.

"What a good reaction you've shown me. It makes me satisfied, Katherine. Now, take my hand."

Davis chuckled as he reached out his hand, causing the adorable Katherine Hilltail to subconsciously rely on him. She appeared to have reacted to the well-known defense of hiding behind the Master so that the fellow beast wouldn't bite her, but the moment she held his hand, she transformed into a ray of reddish-brown light and entered his soul sea.

Suddenly finding herself in a vast oasis that was tinged with black and white, Katherine Hilltail didn't know what to think. Her senses suddenly became clear, and the surroundings seemed mysterious, revolving with mysteries she had never seen in her life, unable to even recognize what kind of energy it was.

Slowly, she felt Davis's soul interact with her being, making her feel that he was everywhere. But soon enough, she understood that she was in a space where she could stay safe.

"How is it? Your new temporary home for ten years."

Boomed an amused voice around, causing Katherine Hilltail to smile lightly, "Master, is this your soul sea? It feels warm and cozy."

"Oh, that's the experiment."

"Eh?"

Katherine Hilltail's smile froze. Was she already being subjected to the so-called experiment?

"Don't be worried. Although I said that there's a fifty percent chance for you to die, I won't let that happen to the best of my ability. Just rest assured and allow the fog of strange energy to enter your body."

"… Okay…"

Katherine Hilltail crouched a bit as she looked around at the empty shelter. She found herself in a comfortable corner and sat, swinging her tail back and forth as she felt that nostalgic feeling fill her heart with confidence and warmth. A few minutes later, her head started to ache, but she ignored it, still playing with her tail like a little cat.

Meanwhile, Davis's expression was solemn.

Katherine Hilltail's presence in his soul sea didn't elicit a response from the Transitory Beast Taming Pact.

Did it have anything to do with Everlight still receiving the fog of life energy from Fallen Heaven? However, he didn't think so, as Fallen Heaven was capable of doing multiple tasks at once. Then was it a limit on Transitory Beast Taming Pact Technique?

To find out, he manually sent the fog of life energy from Fallen Heaven towards Katherine Hilltail since sending death energy was more dangerous. Surprisingly, it worked.

It formed a connection and was now automatically sending the fog of life energy towards Katherine Hilltail without his help.

'Good, it works...'

Davis sighed, knowing that this meant that there wasn't a limit, at least not for two, but he still kept monitoring Katherine Hilltail.

A few more minutes later, Davis noticed an abnormality.

Katherine Hilltail's teeth began clattering. Her body seemed to be quivering from chills, causing Davis to feel that something was wrong. When he checked, he found that she was experiencing immense pain from their soul connection.

'What the…? Both Nadia and Everlight displayed no pain when receiving the essence fog from Fallen Heaven… Is Katherine Hilltail incompatible because Earth is not directly related to Life and Death as I initially thought…?'
