Chapter 1909: Picking Individuals (1/2)

Mo Mingzhi's lips curved into a wry smile as she heard Schleya's request, her expression turning bewildered and helpless.

This… she couldn't request Davis even if she wanted to as this could lead to her death if things went south.

People could come here and watch the battle while wearing a mask but not enter the competition while wearing a mask. Even if Schleya wears a veil on the account that she is a woman, people are still going to recognize her and her Blood Laws as she was the famous Young Villa Mistress of the Blood Pledge Villa, especially by the All-Seeing Tower that was hired for today to notice and inform any suspicious individuals as this event was a huge undertaking.

How can they digest the existence of a wicked path mistress walking into their current holy ground? It would be like a slap to their face if they tolerated her existence.

Back then, Davis had made it clear that he wasn't a wicked path person, so things hadn't progressed to the point where no party could digest each other's presence. It was similar values that made them stay their hands, but if Davis had declared himself to be a wicked path character when he first made his reappearance, the righteous path would've all attacked him regardless if he could kill without being present because he hadn't grown to a level of being unkillable, unlike this moment.

Even Evelynn, Lea Weiss, and Nadia agreed to them during the small banquet that they no longer had the confidence to win against Davis in a one-on-one battle, so what could the righteous path do against him now?

If Davis wanted to unite the human race under a single banner, of them doubted his ability to do so, but he already made it clear that his sights were on the immortal world, citing that he had no choice but to do so to in order to grasp his own destiny. They didn't understand much but felt that his ambitions finally rose from dormancy.

After all, having a taste of absolute power causes even the most tolerant and kind man to be drunk in it.

Nevertheless, Mingzhi was sure that Schleya knew of the consequences as the latter was no naive woman.

Davis and the others were also equally confused before his lips curved as he looked to his side.

”Mingzhi, are you bored?”

”…”

Mingzhi blinked, wondering what does that has to do with this situation before her eyes suddenly widened. And then, a sly grin appeared on her lips, a crazed light flashing past her black eyes.

”Yes, I'm quite bored. The competition isn't exciting enough…”

Davis nodded twice before casually looking at the blackish-crimson-haired woman.

”Alright, you can participate, Schleya.”

”…!?”

The others became dumbfounded by Davis's casual answer. It was as though Schleya could just waltz in, and nothing would happen to her. Well, if he did put his mind into it, they were convinced nothing was going to happen to her but did he really need to do that for some random woman who did not belong to him in any manner?

Even Schleya appeared taken aback by his casual answer as she was prepared to do some convincing and even accepted failure as a result. She never thought that she would obtain his permission in a few seconds. She clasped her hand and bowed her head to one's chest level.

”I'm aware that I'm being troublesome and dependent on you, Emperor of Death. If I could, I promise to return this gratitude one day. Also, the reason why I asked to battle is I was becoming complacent with your protection, so I want to experience battles under life and death circumstances, and this… is nothing but what I expect to temper me again.”

Schleya looked towards the battle stage as she spoke with a complicated expression on her face before she added.

”I promise that I wouldn't kill anyone, but I'll have to provoke in order to create an artificial life and death environment.”

”No problem. No matter what happens down there, I'll protect you.”
