Chapter 1420: Eldias True Intent (1/2)

Davis smiled, but he suddenly became confused amidst Eldia's excitement.

”You know about heavenly tribulation lightning?”

Could it be that she had seen a heavenly tribulation before in her lifetime?

”No...! But I can sense this lightning is otherworldly!!! It's comprised of the purest form of lightning that I have ever seen! Only a bolt of lightning from the purest energy of the heavens can be like this!”

Davis didn't really understand, but she meant that the strand was a heavenly lightning instead of heavenly tribulation lightning. The two may be one or different, or it may just be a play on words. He really couldn't say which one with the little information he possessed but felt that it might be the former.

Still, he couldn't help but ask.

”You say that this strand is a heavenly lightning... Can you give me some examples? Like, have you seen it before?”

”Yes! I think the reason why we are birthed by heaven and earth energy is because of the existence of a strand of heavenly lightning nurturing our Will for many years, allowing us to become sentient if we reach the required level. I watched a Lightning Elemental grow through this process and watched another Lightning Elemental in its initial stages of birthing before I decided to devour it. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to devour the strand of heavenly lightning, but this...”

Eldia sounded as if she was staring at a delicious meal, her naked black-lightning silhouette body trembling with desire.

”The heaven and earth...”

Davis couldn't help but mutter, feeling like he had grasped onto something.

Could it be that there are all sorts of Heavenly Laws out there?

For example, Heavenly Fire...?

A wisp of heavenly fire gives birth to a Fire Elemental, but after its Will has been nurtured and the heavenly fire disappears while the Elemental itself is now considered an Earthly Fire?

The heaven gives birth to the earth; earthly beings...?

Davis blinked again, feeling like his head hurt for no reason.

Nevertheless...

'My Lightning Elemental is a researcher?'

Davis's brows twitched as he felt he could write a novel of his own. Exactly what was she doing watching other Lightning Elementals? As she said, he could only infer that all beings were curious of all matters and things, even the reason for their birth.

He looked at her, drooling at the strand of tribulation lightning. At least, her stare looked as if she was drooling, making him content as this reaction was the one he expected her to have.

How could a Lightning Elemental that fed on lightning not know the purity of this lightning?

Otherwise, he would lack the ability to completely make her submit to him.

”What do you think?”

”Master, this...” Eldia sounded hesitant, ”This strand is so pure and powerful. If I absorb this, I might be able to gain numerous benefits...”

”Mhm? You want it? But you haven't done anything for me yet..?”

Davis sounded confused as if he couldn't understand why she would want it, while Eldia's body trembled again as she lowered her head.

”If I remember correctly, I only said that I would provide you with twenty percent of my soul force every week, and twice a week if you forgave that three people who trapped you and you said that you want to come here instead of wanting energy twice a week. And now you say that you want this invaluable heavenly lightning?”

”Did you know how difficult it was for me to plunder it from the heavenly tribulation?”

”...!?”

Eldia trembled more than ever while the gaze she directed at Davis was full of reverence. She had never seen but heard of heavenly tribulations before, at least, from the red-robed people who could use red-colored lightning. She had always hidden from them before being finally caught by that damned fox-human but nevertheless...

Plundering it from the heavenly tribulation? What kind of human had she got stuck to? She couldn't help but feel that this was insane.

”I don't even know if you will harm me after absorbing this heavenly lightning. One more breakthrough, and you'll enter the Ninth Stage, far more than something I am capable of handling. Do you expect me to be subjected to your whims while I entertain you?”

”Master, I...”

Eldia was at a loss for words. She didn't know how to convince them that she wasn't a threat, that she wouldn't harm him, but he never seemed to believe her, making her rather feel aggrieved. He had saved her yet was now looking at her with suspicion, making her confused.

However, contrary to her thoughts, Davis knew what she felt with his Heart Intent reading her feelings. His soul prowess was capable of vaguely feeling it because she was already naked, no protection in terms of defense.

But...!

He had a tough time believing that this thousands of-year-old Lightning Elemental could become attached to him just for saving her. Of course, his overbearing death energy might've also played a role in suppressing her thoughts of freedom, but he hadn't done anything worthy of such feelings that he couldn't help but probe her, and sensing that she was feeling aggrieved, he finally understood that she had really submitted long ago.

”Say, if I were to give it to you, what would you do for me?”
