Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 72: Killing Without Blinking An Eye

Ellia, who heard that managed to calm down as their intent wasn't to kill her but only rob.

The eight youths were clad in different armours and had different weapons which made them look like a group of ragtag.

Ellia narrowed her eyes and shouted in a brave voice as she steadied herself, "If you want it, then come and take it from me!"

"Haha, I admire your courage but it wouldn't be wise to let go of our offer."

"Leave it, everyone, who participates here have their own backbone. You can't just expect them to hand it over."

"Then, I'll take care of her…"

A youth with a spear on his back approached Ellia.

'I can do this!' Ellia thought as she readied herself.

"Bullying a little kid isn't my hobby, but we are fighting with our lives on the line here. You can only blame yourself for stepping on this land!" That youth who had a spear charged at her with open fists. It seemed like he had cultivation but no fist skills as he was clearly clumsy with his fists.

'A spear user? He went easy on me?' Ellia thought as she jumped out of the branch. She aimed her fists at him and collided with each other.

*Bam*

"Argh!" That youth was sent flying as he felt his bones crack in his arms.

"H… Hand over your token… now that you have been defeated.!" Ellia threatened in a not so threatening tone.

"Heh, little miss, did you forget that there were 7 of us left?" A voice echoed at the back of her head which startled her greatly.

She ducked her head down as suddenly a black sword cut the top of her hair a little while she hurriedly moved away from her position.

Ellia who was almost killed was greatly angered as she looked at the scrawny youth who sneak attacked her.

"Hawk, what are you doing?" A youth with a sword shouted.

"She's just a little girl, why are you aiming to kill her for?" Even the guy who had his fists broken shouted at him.

"Hmph! You guys should just give up and go back to the ship. If you don't have enough resolve, just go back to your hometown!" That scrawny youth who was called Hawk sneered in derision.

A short handling of the little girl led to a confusion in the newly formed random team. They exchanged back arguments as they decided what to do with her.

After all, every team here was either formed way before or after this preliminary started.

"He's right! If you don't have enough resolve then you guys should just hand over your tokens and leave!"

"That's right!…"

The situation went out of hand as an internal fight broke out among them while they argued whether to kill her or not.

Out of the eight individuals who pursued them, it was only that youth who had a sword and the youth who had a spear outright denied to kill her.

Ellia who watched that felt an emotion wash over her as she laughed at herself in derision as she thought.

'How lamentable! They're fighting over whether to kill me or not as if I am a savage beast. So this is what Davis, my prince, meant by that he is weak, even when he is so strong.'

'Heh, this is why he told me to make myself stronger, so that there will be none who could control my fate by then!'

*Stab*

"…You!" The scrawny youth who argued with the youth with the sword suddenly had his heart pierced as electricity ran through him like a snake that was bent on devouring the innards of its prey.

Ellia looked up at him in indifference as she thought of him as an ant.

That scrawny youth's eyes went red as he collapsed while his heart corroded as it let out a charred smell.

"Kill her!!" The two youths who supported her froze, while the other five youths who were clad in different armours surrounded as they charged at her in all directions.

Ellia looked at her surrounding calmly as if she weren't the one who was targeted anymore. She looked like a bystander who was calmly watching an ongoing battle. Her eyes looked indifferent to her surroundings as she cast a technique.

"Lightning Storm…" She lightly muttered to herself as she looked at those two youths who shielded in a different light.

Suddenly. thick lines of lightning tinged with a light black colour erupted from her body as it flew to the youths who charged at her in a zig-zag motion.

"Hurry dodge!" A youth shouted in horror as he saw that lightning approach him like a snake.

But alas, the lightning discharged by Ellia was faster than them, resulting in the black lightning hitting them with a crackling sound.

Lightning covered them as they were burnt like a pig while a charred smell wafted in the air.

The two youths who supported Ellia, froze in fear as if they saw a ghost, their face pale as snow.

"Hand over the tokens and leave…"

Those two youths who heard that threw over their tokens hurriedly and ran away with their lives pathetically as if they were granted an amnesty for a great crime they had committed before.

"Davis! I won! Look!" Ellia shouted as she turned jubilant while she collected the tokens from their tokens as if nothing of importance happened a moment ago.

Just when she collected the last of the eight tokens, she collapsed on the grass as if she was exhausted.

But just when she was going to fall on the grass, a hand extended around her waist and supported her from falling.

…

A few minutes ago.

Davis looked at the confrontation in utter concentration as he couldn't let Ellia die in front of him so easily, no matter what.

'Eight youths, let's see how she would handle this…' Davis thought.

He was on the branch were Ellia had supposedly stood on before, watching the battle below with eyes wide open. He used his Dark Concealing Shroud Art to make himself invisible to the people below.

In fact, even all the people in this preliminary couldn't see through his cloaking. Even if he stood beside them and acted like a clown, they wouldn't be able to notice.
