Divine Emperor of Death

Davis patted Nadia's back, indicating that she should continue to fly into the city, but she just stood there for a while as she stared at the head guard.

A few seconds passed in utter silence as no one made a sound under the presence of the ten-meter tall, imposing magical beast. In reality, they had seen even bigger magical beasts, but they all were weaker than the dark and golden-horned magical beast in front of them.

"This human also cultivates darkness laws?" She uttered before removing her gaze and walked past the head guard, entering the city.

Meanwhile, the head guard who heard the magical beast's words had his eyes tremble while his pupils dilated. His whole body underwent a severe shiver that made him almost lost his cool.

After the unknown Lord Beast Stage Magical Beast left, he could feel the scornful and discriminating gazes cast at him. He didn't dare look at them and concentrated on doing his duties as the head guard.

Cultivating Darkness Laws were frowned upon in almost every place since cultivators who cultivate Darkness Laws were mostly inclined to do evil and heinous deeds. Nevertheless, this wasn't an established and absolute fact, so people only cast a disapproving glance at him before doing their own jobs.

However, the head guard knew that they would start to treat him with indifference and discrimination in the future if he was weaker than them.

His expression further became ugly, but he also knew that his secret would be founded out in the future. It was just that he didn't expect it to be found out by a damn Magical Beast that was also probably inclined towards Darkness Laws.

Nadia ruined the lucrative and resourceful life of a head guard. She did that before she even stepped into the city.

Davis didn't know that because he didn't pay attention and just urged Nadia to fly faster. His thoughts were on someone else.

He also told Nadia to conceal her undulations and magical beast aura to the maximum so that he could see the shocked expression on a certain woman's face.

Even in the face of an equivalent Soul Forging Cultivator, her deep concealment remained undetected only due to her innate species alignment towards darkness, and darkness concealment technique but the fact that she was a King-Tier Magical Beast took her to a further level in where she was even able to avoid the senses of a Low-Level Eighth Stage Soul Forging Cultivator to a certain degree.

Nadia glanced around while gliding through the air, looking at the innumerable amount of humans walking to and fro below her on the streets, entering a few buildings, and shouting on top of their lungs of something about wares.

She had never seen this many humans at the same time. Still, when she had gone hunting during the period of magical beast tides, she had similarly met a considerable number of humans. However, they all possessed hostile expressions and exuded killing intent against them as if they couldn't live under the same sky.

Nadia could understand that they, the magical beasts were intruding the human territories not only to eat them but also to reduce their own population due to territorial struggles and the concept of the survival of the fittest within the countless clans. This was a cruel yet logical way to temper themselves and also strengthen their own clans.

In any case, since they were also equally hunted by humans, they saw humans as their natural enemies and didn't hesitate to devour them during magical beast tides. It didn't matter if it was a human baby or an old woman; not one of them would escape the wrath of the magical beasts.

Now that Nadia saw an ocean of humans in her sight, she felt it to be surreal.

Furthermore, there were magical beasts present in the streets as well, but most of them were chained to carriages by their necks and further equipped with saddles to be mounted. It made her blink and think of her potential future, but when she saw that there were also an extreme few who treated their magical beasts with care like pets, she became confused.

Wasn't it said that humans were extremely hostile to magical beasts and made them their slaves?

"Master, do humans treat their magical beast mounts well?"

Hearing her suddenly drop this doubt on him, Davis became startled for a moment before answering, "It all depends on a person's attitude towards magical beasts, Nadia."

"What does that mean?" Nadia became confused.

"You might not know, but humans are experts in backstabbing their own, so they tend to treat other races such as magical beasts as either mounts or meat, but there are certainly a few who are capable of bonding with them like you and I, perhaps to a higher level..."

"A higher level...?"

"Yes, there is the Beast Tamer profession, but I don't know much about it. Nevertheless, I know that those Beast Tamers can either control magical beasts like their slaves or befriend them by bonding through some methods such as feeding them and taking care of them."

"Is master a Beast Tamer?"

"No, I'm not..." Davis swiftly replied.

He knew about Beast Tamers in bits and pieces, and just because he made Nadia his magical beast mount, how could he claim himself to be a Beast Tamer.

Beast Tamer not only was about taming magical beasts, but it was a profound occupation that dealt with magical beasts, knowing their weaknesses, strong points, and their internal body and cultivation system. He knew nothing and couldn't claim he knew about Nadia's likes, dislikes, and every other matter concerning her.

Besides, he severely lacked in the general knowledge of magical beasts.

Nadia could somewhat understand and perceive that there were only a few humans who were similar to her master. However, she possessed no idea if they had the same integrity as her master. After all, it was widely known within the magical beast world that humans were seasoned liars and veterans in deceiving them for greater benefits.

At this time, Davis didn't notice that the city level above him was going through some empire shattering events!

He obliviously directed Nadia's course above the clouds of the first level and finally reached the second level's city in the skies before reaching his estate shortly.

He slid down from Nadia's smooth black fur and gestured for her to transform into a human, but just before she could, the door opened, and a woman with a cheerful expression ran out before throwing herself to the obscure wolf!

"Evelynn..." Nadia echoed as she nudged her face towards Evelynn, smelling her familiar and friendly fragrance. She couldn't help but let out meek howls and whimpers of yearning. Needless to say, her concealment naturally came off.

Davis blinked before he recalled the fact that Evelynn knew about his whereabouts since they had placed soul marks on each other. He temporarily forgot this fact and thought that he could surprise Evelynn by showing off Nadia's majestic, magical beast form and a slightly different human form.

In any case, Evelynn knew that he would bring back Nadia, so she was, perhaps, eagerly expecting him to come back. It just took a week, after all.

Evelynn cheerfully held Nadia's big face before she slightly got licked on her face.

"Ahh~!" Evelynn stepped back and wiped her face with her sleeves, "Bad wolf."

Her gaze fell on Nadia's figure before noticing the difference that she failed to perceive in the beginning!

"You... Nadia, you've changed!?"
