Chapter 5172: What Are You Doing Here?
"What am I doing here?"
Fairy Runalise wore a white veil and was clad in a blue robe. Her white eyes made her look like a fantastical being, making her shine like a true immortal fairy from the legends. She hovered in the air as she soared across the abyss, her black hair flailing in the wind.
"I should ask what you are doing here. Why come back to this place when it’s so dangerous for you outside, much less here? Do you want to get sealed so badly?" She asked as she came to a stop in front of them a few meters away.
Laphria Rinmei and Jaiyan looked clueless as they turned and shot a side-eye at Davis.
He was acquaintances with a Heaven’s Warrior?
Then it suddenly clicked for them. They had heard about this Heaven’s Warrior. Karyot mentioned that such a person had lived in the Davis Family’s sanctuary for a while in an effort to keep an eye on them.
Fairy Qiyra Darkstar raised her hand, but Davis stopped her by raising his own before her.
Davis narrowed his eyes at Fairy Runalise.
For a moment, he failed to recognize her. Her gaze was sharper than before and contained confidence as well as fearlessness. She appeared as though she couldn’t sense any danger from him.
Was it someone else?
Davis’s lips curled, "Stop acting, Celestial Transcendent. You’re the senior. You really shouldn’t be using my own methods against me, much less a junior. I can’t fall for this even if you-"
"Celestial Transcendent?"
Fairy Runalise placed her hand over the space beside her waist, and a white sword magically appeared, exuding Primarch Grade undulations. The moment her palm touched the hilt of the sword, it made the eyes of Davis and the others flicker.
"Is the Celestial Transcendent known to have comprehended this?"
Fairy Runalise revealed her Level Nine Autarch undulations as she surged with a powerful Will. It instantly encompassed the space around them, making her opponents feel like the blade was right over their neck.
However, none of them flinched, although surprise was visible on their faces.
What they were witnessing was none other than Level Two Obscure intent of Imposing Sword Laws-
"Sword Heart..." Fairy Qiyra Darkstar uttered with some surprise.
Fairy Divinacia also said with some doubt, "It’s the third realm of Imposing Sword Laws. This isn’t a realm that’s easy to reach. The Celestial Transcendent isn’t known to have comprehended Imposing Sword Laws, although his Sword Laws are quite high due to the number of years he has lived and practiced all kinds of martial arts and armament arts..."
Davis also paused with some doubt.
The other party wasn’t the Celestial Transcendent?
He knew from Anastasia Archus’s memories that her grandfather vaguely knew a superior transformation art. She had visited this memory at that time because she was searching for ways to find the Divine Emperor of Death, thinking he was around Jiayi Crystalveil in a disguise, which couldn’t be anymore true.
For now, he didn’t use Enigmatic Heart Laws lest his Will be sundered by the Celestial Transcendent’s Will.
He could in no way compare to the other party’s Will. Even if the Celestial Transcendent was in his avatar, the Will would surely be above the layer limit, even if it couldn’t compare to the original.
Even if Davis could match it somehow, it was unwise to get his Will cracked from a backlash.
Davis nodded, "Looks like monitoring a Divergent Family and battling my snow-white Tanya day and night gave you immense insights into Imposing Sword Laws and tempering your Will. Hmm, I didn’t know it would be a great opportunity for a Heaven’s Warrior to spar with a Divergent and learn more. Maybe you all shouldn’t kill them outright. You should learn more about them and their techniques. Their physiques are all out of this world, so there is so much to gain, and-"
"You’re here to break the Desolate Era and restore the balance?" Fairy Runalise interrupted him with a vague tone.
"..." Davis went silent.
What’s going on?
Why was Fairy Runalise here?
How did she predict he would come here?
Just observing him from afar wouldn’t make anyone feel that he would come here to reverse the Desolate Era, as it was an undertaking no sane or even insane person would take, for that matter, much less understand. If it weren’t her own smarts-
’The coin toss... did it actually work...?’ Davis couldn’t help but blink.
His fate-changing bet worked at that time, even though he didn’t fully understand what he was doing. After all, he partly did it to experiment on how to increase or decrease luck, which later came in handy when he pulled out the Will of the Supremes from Zenova.
"You leaked this plan to her?" Fairy Qiyra Darkstar asked as she turned to look at him coldly.
Davis went speechless.
Even the others felt that it was impossible for someone to guess what they were doing, much less Heaven’s Warriors.
Really, who would be in their right fucking mind to overturn what the heavens decided!?
"Heh! No freaking way!" Davis denied with a cold snort, "There’s no way someone from my family leaked it either. She is-"
Fairy Runalise interrupted, "I guessed. Besides, I won’t deny that the Celestial Transcendent could be here since I sent a letter to Venerable Knight Lussandra saying that you could come here. I don’t know if they would believe my anonymous letter, but if they did- mhm, I presume they got tired of waiting and left, but now that you’re here, I suppose I will send them the information."
"Go- go ahead." Davis scoffed as he pointed in a direction, "I’ve already made a scene in a city in that direction. They could be right on my tail, minutes away from us."
Fairy Runalise cupped her hands, "Then I shall not impose on you any longer since I’ve confirmed your intent with my own eyes and your words. Do what you came here to do. I’ll hold off the others until then."
"..."
Laphria Rinmei and Jaiyan looked at each other, seriously not understanding what was going on.
When did Heaven’s Warriors become so understanding?
Davis was also dumbfounded, but he felt a sense of deja vu.
It was always like this with Fairy Runalise. She would boldly stand before him, make silly threats, point her sword at him, and then leave without attacking him during the time she lived in his sanctuary after they got to know each other somewhat.
She would still kill him even after admitting he was a good person. He didn’t doubt that.
Her Imposing Sword Laws only grew her Will more firmly.
She was way better than the last time he had seen her.
For a moment, he wondered if he could corrupt her Will- only interested if it would work or not. He instantly shot down the fleeting thought as he turned to look at Fairy Qiyra Darkstar.
"I’m so trusting of you, but you can’t even trust me this bit?"
He displayed a ’small’ gesture with his fingers and asked. But he waved his sleeve before she could respond, "Forget it. Let’s not delve into this matter as time is of the essence. Let’s quickly do it and leave before things get messier."
"Right..." Jaiyan nodded.
He suppressed his killing intent against Fairy Runalise before looking up. He then lowered his head.
The others also calmed.
Davis also readied himself as he removed his Temporal Voidplane Ring and other rings before he gave it to Fairy Qiyra Darkstar.
Fairy Qiyra Darkstar accepted it without a change in her expression.
"Alright then..."
Davis rubbed his hands, stretching and flailing them as he jumped a few times before turning to look at Fairy Qiyra Darkstar.
"Time to-"
His words had just left his mouth when everyone’s scalp went numb.
A terrifying grayish-black giant palm descended from the side as reflected by Fairy Qiyra Darkstar’s pupils. It was unbelievably fast, but she still perceived it with ease. She even saw Davis raising both his hands as he turned around to block it.
"-die~"
A calm, amused voice continued Davis’s words as it smacked him right by the shoulder, no, his arms, and then his entire body, all dismantling at a rapid rate.
*Bang!~*
Blood exploded as though a bloody mountain had been detonated with Davis’s entire body splattering, his flesh and bones flying everywhere to the other side.
"...!"
Fairy Runalise turned to look back, her heart nearly dropping as she saw the Celestial Transcendent hover above them while the other Divergents hurriedly retreated. Her lips parted in shock, and her pupils even dilated as she saw Davis explode into a mass of blood.
