Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 109: Claire's Origin

"Leave that matter for now! It is too soon for us to discuss that! Claire, do you know where that immortal inheritance is located?" Logan asked in an excited manner.

Claire giggled and said, "The ancient records mentioned that the inheritance resides in the centre of the realm, where the elements of fire and ice are in abundance! I have no idea where it is though."

Suddenly, Davis stood up and shouted as he widened his eyes, "Dad! The Firzen Island!"

"Firzen Island!? Yes, those two elements are in abundance in that place! It must be that place." Logan also trembled as he shouted in excitement for a moment.

"Firzen Island? The place where Davis participated during the Grand Sea Continent Meet?" Claire asked doubtfully.

"Yes. Davis, did you notice anything strange about that place?" Logan turned solemn as he asked. His eyes had a glow to it that Davis identified it as desire.

Davis slowly laughed and said, "I didn't fully explore the Island as I only hunted in the west direction, near the volcano mountains."

Logan nodded and stated, "The Guardian Alliance cleared out any Spirt Stage Magical Beasts they could find on the island for the competition! How is it that even they couldn't find anything strange about the Island?

Hearing that, Claire sneered, "If it were that easy to find the location of the Immortal Inheritance by some fifth stage experts, then it could be said that they had some incredible luck!"

"Makes sense. Dad, we should find the location of the inheritance by ourselves."

Logan nodded while Claire smiled with a satisfied expression on her face, but her expression looked like she had something else to say.

Time passed as Claire spoke of many matters of her realm. The three of them listened to her with exceptional interest.

…

Half a day later.

"Alright, this is enough! I've spoken too much about my realm, let's leave it at that!"

"But mom, you still haven't said anything about your family!" Clara pouted with a cute expression on her face,

Hearing that Claire sighed, "My family? Can I even call them my family?"

"What do you mean?" Logan asked as he raised his brows.

"Logan, you could guess easily what had happened with the events that you witnessed in the secret entrance," Claire said with a casual expression on her face.

"Could it be that your family wants you dead!?" Logan asked as he stood up, confusion was visible on his face.

"Yes, on top of it, it was because of some trivial competition." Claire sighed as she continued, "I am one of the promising candidates for the position of Young Mistress in the Alstreim Family. It's clear that I had the upper advantage in gaining that position, and some of the elders and the participants clearly didn't like my growing capability just because I was the Illegitimate child of the Alstriem Family."

All three of them listened carefully without interrupting her speech.

"My mother was a servant who originally served at my father's residence, and my father fell in love with her during that time. The Alstreim Family found out that my mother was pregnant and my father gave his all to protect her from his family." Claire went silent for a while as she looked at the table. She bit her lips and continued, "My mother was killed after I was born, and my father pleaded with the family to spare me. The family decided to spare me on one condition…" Claire's voice went incomparably cold at this point.

"My… my father crippled himself to save me and… and he… he was the revered Young Master of the family at that time!" Tears dropped from her eyes as it fell down on the table, "After crippling himself, he endured the countless amount of insults thrown upon him, just to make me grow up stronger. He used whatever connections remaining he had to develop my cultivation."

"Just imagine! In a world that thrives on violence, how it must have been for my father to live as a weakling for more than thirty years!" She clenched her fists in agony.

Suddenly her face went extremely cold, "I'm not giving up until I get my revenge on whoever forced my father to cripple himself. Furthermore, mark my words, for I will mince the flesh out of the person who killed my mother!" Hatred flashed through her eyes, which she had kept hidden all this time.

Logan hurriedly embraced and comforted her, "Don't worry, our life has just started. Our cultivation will increase by leaps and bounds as time passes by, no matter how long it takes. It goes without saying that I will help you kill those bastards who hurt your parents!"

Claire bit her lips as she nodded. She directed her gaze to Davis and said, "Davis, I know that you will grow stronger than us as time passes by, but mother forbids you to not interfere in the matters of my Alstreim Family!"

"Why!?" Davis shouted atop his lungs. He was in extreme anger when he heard the suffering of his mother.

"Because mom wants to kill those bastards by myself and bring glory to my father and honour my mother!" Claire shouted back with determination.

"Mom!" Davis had a helpless expression on his face. Suddenly he pointed at Logan, "What about Dad? Why can he help you and not me!?"

"Because he is my husband!"

Davis was stunned, "I am your son!"

"That and this are different! You are not to interfere with this matter!" Claire calmly replied.

"I will help!" Clara shouted beside them.

"Oh, sweetheart. Mom appreciates your feelings, but this is a matter for myself to put an end to!" Claire caressed Clara's cheeks as she answered.

"Oh…" Clara turned sad as she was rejected.

"Mom, it will take longer for your cultivation to increase! What if… what if someone plotted to kill your father in the meantime!?" Davis couldn't help but ask. He was in confusion all this time as he couldn't understand why his mother would not want his help to eradicate those fiends.

"Hmph, save that sentence when you get stronger than me! As for whether my father will die or not, I am not worried!" Stating that, Claire revealed her cultivation.

"How!??" Davis shouted in astonishment and extreme confusion.

Claire released her gracious silvery aura from her body and emitted an energy that one would emit when one reached the Body Transformation Stage.
