Chapter 1371: Dark Clouds Above The Sky (1/2)

”What!?”

Davis's expression changed as he saw the minute changes in the sky. It was as if the clouds were converging, becoming darker by the second as they clouded the region from the sun.

He didn't stay here any longer as he left the sleeping grandmother in one peace as he quickly headed out of the room and made his way into the hall.

'How could it be!??? This is not possible...! Unless...'

Davis thought as he neared the hall, looking at the two figures in the middle of the hall where one of them seemed o have fainted.

It was none other than Tia Alstreim, who was lying on the lap of her father as he tried to wake her up with an anxious expression on his face.

”Tia...! Wake up...! Tia, please... Don't play pranks on me at a time like this... Be a good child...”

While Edgar Alstreim did not even notice Davis's arrival, Davis's expression was ugly as he muttered.

”It's her fifth Whisper of Fate Phenomenon...”

He experienced an extreme chill in his entire body before he subconsciously moved!

Edgar Alstreim had just heard Davis's voice when he suddenly appeared beside him, forcefully taking Tia out of his grasp. However, he did not resist as he heard Davis's words. Instead, he was struck with a dumbfounded expression on his face.

”Wait! What? It's her fifth whisper!?”

Edgar Alstreim reacted as his body shivered, but his reaction was so late that Davis wasn't even present in the Purple Guest Palace anymore.

======

*Whoosh!~*

In the Grand Alstreim City's skies, Davis flew concealed amidst the darkening skies with Tia in his grasp. He raced towards the south-western direction, where it was relatively sparse in population. His expression was one of solemnness while panic could be seen in his eyes.

'Oh... no, no, no, no...!'

He raised his head, looking at the converging clouds that seemed to center around him, or to be precise, it centered around Tia Alstreim, the girl in his arms who still remained asleep.

”Tia, wake up...” Davis gulped as he looked back at her.

He was princess carrying her, staring at her with a bit of anxiousness.

If Tia did not wake up, he would have no choice but to take on the heavenly tribulation in her stead as he had already resolved himself to protect Tia if she failed to cross the heavenly tribulation.

However, he was perfectly clear that it might spell the end for him!

”Fallen Heaven, do you have any ideas to overcome the tribulation!?”

His mind raced, but he could not come up with anything as he instantly relied on Fallen Heaven.

”...”

”...”

”...”

Three freaking seconds passed, which seemed like a long time as he instantly traveled thousands of kilometers in terms of distance. He had long left the Grand Alstreim City, shot past the outskirts, and made it to the desolate areas of the Alstreim Family's territory.

However, even after waiting for those three seconds in which he could start to feel the aura of the terrifying heavens, Tia didn't wake up, and neither did Fallen Heaven, who seemed to not respond to his calls!

”What the hell!? Fallen Heaven, where are you?”

Davis gulped as he asked again, but he was met with nothing but silence before realizing that it was still alive as he could find only a semblance of intent from it due to their souls being interconnected.

Realization quickly dawned on his mind as he understood why he could not use Fallen Heaven's energy to conceal himself.

'It's hiding from the heavenly tribulation...'

Davis raised his head as he felt a chill surge through his spine!

The converging dark clouds did not even seem to reach twenty meters in radius. It was tiny when seen from the elevation he was flying over, easily misunderstood for a passing storm cloud by the common populace. There were no flashes of lightning from the tribulation clouds, but there was a terrifying aura brewing in the skies.

That terrifying aura descended on him, or Tia, to be precise, making him perspire from his forehead.

As he flew, ten seconds later, he quickly arrived at an optimal location which he deemed was safe from onlooker's eyes. Still, his King Soul Stage soul sense that stretched throughout the land and the skies managed to find less than fifty people camping, hunting magical beasts.

His eyes widened as he quickly suppressed them with his soul, causing them to faint.

Landing on the empty plains that were surrounded by huge mountains, his powerful soul simply scared away all the wild magical beasts present in this place. However, he didn't let them escape either and made them all faint as he cast the Soul Suppression Art on a wide radius.

He didn't even use a bit of his soul force due to his King Soul Stage Cultivation.
