Divine Emperor of Death-Novel

Chapter 2261 Extinguishing The Curseᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ (ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt

An arm flew in the skies, plunging towards the ground. It spun heavily but leaked no blood, not to mention that it was covered in an ominous glow.

Iridescent black and white strands of energy rushed towards that arm and practically erased it from existence, not even leaving some ashes behind.

Myria waved her hand as she retrieved her reincarnation energy, turning to look at Davis with a worried gaze. She saw the layer of reincarnation energy she put over him the moment she severed his arm. The severed end of the arm glowed with black and white energy, seemingly churning as an ominous air circulated over it.

Davis's own reincarnation energy surged belatedly and targeted that ominous air, trying to eradicate it with utter concentration while Myria also raised her two hands and kept over his severed arm, providing her reincarnation energy in order to extinguish the ominous energy haunting him.

Their different reincarnation energy bombarded the ominous energy from all sides, causing it to shrivel once, twice, and many times before it became tiny while Davis and Myria couldn't believe how tenacious it was, taking them five whole seconds for them to extinguish it.

The moment the ominous energy disappeared, their foreheads were covered in sweat, especially Davis whose purple robe became drenched because of the pain stemming from his severed arm as well as the realization that he was close to being cursed beyond redemption.

Raising his head, he wryly smiled at Myria while she also possessed a hint of guilt as she looked away.

"…"

There was a moment of awkward silence between them.

Davis didn't blame Myria for misleading or mistaken that she killed that bastard.

Lereza's scream was the only thing that caused him to instantly catch that skeletal head as both he and Myria obviously didn't sense that bastard until he neared ten meters within them but by that time, it was already over for them at their level.

If it weren't for Lereza's warning, he wouldn't have been able to react in time but even though he managed to react, he was only able to move his hand and summon reincarnation energy through that hand but Fraser Herrion's strange energy had overwhelmed him.

If Myria hadn't severed his arm, even if he hadn't been completely cursed like Fraser Herrion wickedly cackled, the battlefield would be in his soul sea, which would be more terrifying than stopping it at shoulder's length. After all, he was considerably weaker with forty percent of his soul essence missing at the moment which made it so counterattack was impossible.

In some way, he saved Myria and Myria saved him. Moreover, it could be said that they stopped the curse from activating, together.

"Thank… you~" A cracking voice emerged as Myria thanked Davis.

She knew that Fraser Herrion targeted her at the last moment but Davis had captured the possessed skeletal head abruptly, causing him to become the recipient of the curse. She felt like she had to thank him, her cheeks becoming red ever so slightly from the admission of vulnerability.

"Don't mention it as we're in an alliance. It was inevitable but I'm more interested in learning what kind of Laws he used."

Davis looked up and saw the Fire Phoenix Mistress and Ice Phoenix Mistress ignite the Immortal King Vacuous Beast. The Ice Phoenix's ice was also flaming wisps, after all.

Back then, he heard them mention that they were stronger than King-Tier Immortal Beasts, remaining skeptical until he saw them now going toe to toe with the Immortal King Vacuous Beast, seemingly having the upper hand as they ignited their ice and flames, he couldn't help but admit that Icefire Laws truly deserved their spot in being a top-tier Supreme Law.

Myria also turned to look above, her expression becoming tinged with complexity.

"A fusion between Darkness and Karma Laws, Curse Laws. It's a low tier Supreme Law like Hex Laws but when combined with Illusion Laws, it becomes a top tier Supreme Law like Reincarnation Laws, called Malediction Laws."

Davis's brows widened, "A fusion of three Laws…?"

"Precisely…"

'No wonder she has a hard time against him in the past…' Davis had the urge to look back at Myria and scrutinize the expression behind her veil but decided against it.

She was powerful herself but there was a bastard who was powerful as her and also…

'Scheming without end…' Davis thought in irritation before his brows narrowed.

"What's his name?"

"Fraser Herrion" Myria shook her head as she sent a soul transmission, "Don't talk about that bastard. The remnant malediction energy will restore upon feeling his presence, even his name…"

"…"

"After all, one's will itself could low-key be said to be a product of illusion, even delusion."

Davis blinked again, not knowing what to say to this regenerative curse energy called malediction.

However, Davis finally felt like he understood the difference between Hex Laws and Curse Laws as it always has been confused over the other. It didn't help that there were no users of Curse Laws in the Fifty-Two Territories, all conceivably dead. Even the Poison Lord was a rare oddity in managing to learn Hex Laws, so he wasn't surprised that users of Curse Laws were also rare but still, he thought that Hex Laws and Curse Laws were synonymous but it seemed like it wasn't the case.

Hex Laws were the fusion of Karma Laws and Poison Laws while Curse Laws were the fusion between Karma Laws and Darkness Laws.

Just as he wondered if Evelynn could master Malediction Laws, his pupils dilated as he saw a Fire Phoenix Mistress get slammed by the Immortal King Vacuous Beast's monstrous horn.

"Flamerose!"

Frostrose flapped her humongous icy-blue wings, her plumage transforming into thousands of icy-blue flames as it engulfed the badly injured Immortal King Vacuous Beast. Its head was already burnt heavily that it had lost the face of a dragon, appearing horrible like a decayed yet crystallized corpse with its bloodthirsty eyes bulging out of its sockets.

They were just in the middle of getting to its blood core when Flamerose got hit, causing Frostrose to blind the Immortal King Vacuous Beast while Flamerose regained her balance, returning to the spatially chaotic airspace.

"Frostrose! I'm alright! We don't have time as you said and our energies have resonated enough, so let's do that…!"

Flamerose and Frostrose could feel the impending doom, communicating through soul transmission. However, they didn't feel the danger from the Immortal King Vacuous Beast but the Fifty-Two Territories Grand Formation that was slowly locking onto them.

*Roar!!!~*

As the Immortal King Vacuous Beast finally broke through the icy-blue flames, it eyed the two phoenixes who were towering above it.

Icy-blue flames and scarlet flames began to conjoin as the two phoenixes flew in a circular motion, forming a sphere of scarlet-white flames in the center of the sphere. The intense pressure surged, filling the space as it caused millions of spatial fissures to appear all over the place.

Flamerose's scarlet flames even boosted her regenerative powers, starting to quickly heal her injuries. However, it was just passive while she began to concentrate her energy on creating a terrifying sphere of ice and fire while Frostrose did the same, throwing concentrated icy-flame wisps at the Immortal King Vacuous Beast while she was at it, defending while preparing.

Clearly, Frostrose was more efficient. However, Flamerose used an extreme amount of energy as she and her twin sister finally made a blazing two-meter tall sphere of scarlet-white flame, burning like the sun in the very distance.

The burning scarlet-white sphere was extremely concentrated, causing Davis and Myria's scalp to turn numb at the sheer sight of it even though it appeared like a mere dot to them.

Just at the time, their technique was completed, the Immortal King Vacuous Beast bravely approached, or rather dumbly approached them without feeling a single hint of fear or panic, completely intent on devouring them.

The moment the Immortal King Vacuous Beast reached them, Frostrose and Flamerose appeared at the scarlet-white sphere's opposite end, sending it flying against the monstrous dragon as they clashed. The sphere unexpectedly didn't explode but rushed through the Immortal King Vacuous Beast, simply causing its flesh to disintegrate.

The Immortal King Vacuous Beast instantly lost all luster as its blood core was taken away but the scarlet-white flames shook at this moment, simply spreading to every nook and cranny of the Immortal King Vacuous Beast's body, eradicating a seven-kilometer-long dragon into nothingness.

"Beautiful…"

Myria's eyes shone with twisted pleasure as well as admiration for Icefire Laws while Davis looked quite similar, taken aback by the silent killing power that Icefire Laws should truly be capable of.
