Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1246: Niera Alstreim

Davis was shocked by the presence of an aphrodisiac's aroma in this nowhere.

His soul sense quickly approached the exit and looked around before he saw the source. Incense stick was burning as it was fixed on a tree branch, and the wind naturally took the aroma to their cave, making him instantly conclude that someone intentionally did this cause him trouble!

Nevertheless, the aphrodisiac was a low-level one that he believed could not possibly affect his body tempered by Martial Master Stage Cultivation, and for Niera Alstreim, he felt that it would have a bit of effect but not much of a problem to clear it.

However, when he turned to look at her to assure her that it wasn't anything dangerous, she was already close to him!!! 

"It doesn't matter because it's already too late..." Niera Alstreim began to breathe heavily as her bosoms heaved along with her movements.

"You... You were the one who placed the aphrodisiac incense outside!?" Davis became shocked at her actions!

He instantly retreated and appeared meters back, looking at her in caution.

"What is the meaning of this?"

Niera Alstreim stood up as she walked towards him, her face covered with a sensual blush as her rosy lips moved.

"Fulfill my last wish, and I'll happily become the sacrifice you all require to exit this sealed space. When that happens, I'll finally become useful to everyone as the princess they respect and especially useful to you, the person I wanted to live my life with..."

She arrived in front of him and wrapped her arms around his neck while he looked dumbfounded.

"You can finally go back to the women you love after this, no?" Moist covered Niera's eyes as her cheeks blushed with charm, "This is something you cannot refuse as this would also be your wish to get out of this so-called damned space...!"

"That's why... let me beco-"

She appeared extremely beautiful and seductive that even without the aphrodisiac, Davis became hard. An intense impulse to take her innocence enveloped his mind but using his soul force as a catalyst to cut off his thoughts, he quickly used the back of his hand as he hit her nape and knocked her out.

Nora Alstreim's eyes shut as she lost consciousness. Although she may be a Law Manifestation Stage genius with a Superior Law Manifestation, her Body Tempering Cultivation and Soul Forging Cultivation hadn't developed that much, both remaining in the low-level of the third stage, the Iron Stage and Young Soul Stage. Such a simple maneuver that caught her off-guard turned her unconscious.

As she clung to him as her body plunged while her bosoms pressed on him, he held her waists, not letting her fall down as he carried her to one corner before letting her down on the cold floor.

He stood up and used his soul force to destroy the aphrodisiac incense outside as he looked at her with narrowed eyes.

"You're wrong because I can refuse..."

An exasperated sigh escaped from his mouth as he couldn't help but shake his head, feeling that this naive woman almost seduced him with her innocent charm. He didn't find the action of drugging him offensive somehow because she had also drugged herself with that aphrodisiac incense. 

Furthermore, judging by what she said, it was almost like double suicide, but it wasn't with him receiving the advantages of having a taste of her while she ends up jumping off the cliff by sacrificing herself.

'Just why...? These sisters were extremely nice yet selfish and brazen...' He couldn't help but wryly think.

Nora Alstreim had boldly confessed to his father when she felt love, not even bothering to check if the other party had loved her not. On the other hand, Niera Alstreim recklessly tried to drug him and herself, knowing that she would lose her innocence to him.

'Last wish, huh?' Davis looked at her in a complex light.

Only after this moment did he realize that he not only forced Ezekiel Alstreim to make a decision, but he also forced the 'sacrifices' to make a decision, and this 'sacrifice', Niera Alstreim, had arbitrarily made her decision to experience bliss with him before offering herself up to the guardian magical beast.

It made him so mad that he didn't expect this woman to keep thwarting his plans.

'Damn it...! It wasn't a trial for you but Ezekiel Alstreim!' He couldn't help but inwardly scream in frustration.

However, he also felt helpless in what to do with her. If she was like Immeth Alstreim, purely trying to obtain him for his seed or just because he was strong, he would've at least made her crippled even if he had not granted her death, but with his Heart Intent, he knew that Niera's feelings towards him were genuine as it could be, making him reluctant to harm her.

However, at this moment, he was moved by her selfish actions, that he became speechless. Her determination to sacrifice herself was true, and her intent when she uttered that he was the person she wanted to live with was also real.

Likely, she didn't want to see her grandpa suffering to make a decision, or was it that they had already made a decision to sacrifice her that she came here to feel like a woman before she sacrificed herself? 

Davis couldn't tell which one it was, but he could tell that it was most likely the former.

Nevertheless, if she determined herself to make a hasty decision like this, what did the other sacrifice, Nero Alstreim, decided? 

Considering that no one came to see how things were here, did they tacitly allow him to take Niera as his woman?

'How could it be...?' Davis shook his head as he inwardly denied.

He knew with his soul sense that they had only come to check on him the first and the third day when Niera visited him, and after that, they became busy enough to stop considering him as the matter of 'sacrifice' heavily weighed on them.

Likely, they all had their own thoughts on that matter.

Davis felt like the villain trying to make a close-knitted family fight against each other.

'Wait a minute... I definitely am...' He rubbed his chin, feeling awkward about his own thoughts as a sense of deja vu encroached on his mind. However, he did not decide to back out.

He used his soul sense to survey the surroundings, confirming that no one was present before he placed his hand on her abdomen, beginning to clear out the aphrodisiac's effects.

======

Half an hour passed just like that.

Eyelids fluttered as a person slowly opened their eyes. The chill of the floor slowly became apparent to their skin as they sat up, feeling giddy. That person's eyes slowly swiveled to the side and saw that another person stood before them.

"Davis... what happened?"

"I stopped you, of course..." Davis nonchalantly spoke.

"Stopped...?" Niera Alstreim narrowed her eyes in confusion for a moment before the actions that she had committed flashed through her mind, making her widen her eyes! 

Her body began to tremble. However, there wasn't even a tremor of remorse in her expression or eyes, but deep sadness was present.

"Why...?" Niera Alstreim seemed to be in deep disbelief, "Why did you stop me...?"

"Why shouldn't I stop your foolish decision?" Davis scoffed.

"Foolish...? You don't know...!" Niera Alstreim shook her head, "Why? You should've just taken me and let me die instead of knocking me out!"

Davis narrowed his eyes, wondering how this woman could spout such nonsense.

"Do you realize the hastiness and recklessness of your decision?"

"So what if it is reckless!?" Niera Alstreim lashed out at him, "We don't have time, and if I don't do it, they will do something stupid!!!"

"Then are you saying what you are doing isn't something stupid?"

"At least it is not stupid than their decision!!!"

"What do you mean?" Davis blinked.

Niera Alstreim bit her lips as it quivered. She looked away and held her head as her eyes turned moist.

"Father stupidly uttered that if the time came, that he would unhesitatingly sacrifice himself... In response to his foolishness, Mother told him to impregnate her so that they could sacrifice the child she would bear in the future...!"

"What the..." Davis uttered in utter disbelief.

However, Niera Alstreim didn't stop.

"Father angrily refused, and then, Grandpa, who was secretly listening to their conversation, revealed that he was thinking of taking another wife in this place so as to birth a descendant to sacrifice, declaring that he didn't need us to sacrifice ourselves. How can grandpa do that when he thought of grandma Elise all these years!???"

"However, after hearing that, father determined to sacrifice himself! If I don't make a move, my father will die... I don't want that!!!"

Tears fell out of her eyes as her eyes went red.

'This... This is all messed up!'

Davis aversed his gaze as he couldn't look at her. He suddenly felt a guilty feeling sprang up within him, which instantly made him feel pity and compassion towards her that he no longer bothered with the matter of drugging him. After all, it was no different than him indirectly manipulating her into doing it.

He couldn't help but hesitantly ask as he returned his gaze, "Why wouldn't you think that your grandpa would decline to offer the sacrifices. Isn't that a way too?"

Niera Alstreim turned to look at him, her stare revealing her wish that she hoped it to be the case, "No one knows... With the unknown time limit, we don't know if we even have time to think of anything else, but everyone thinks that a week's time may be the limit." 

"Grandpa deeply wishes to see grandma Elise and my parents are the same, wishing to see how my elder sister has grown up... I don't have an ambition or a wish other than wanting to fulfill their wishes..."

"Didn't you say that you just wanted to live with me?" Davis couldn't help but add softly, "Isn't that a wish?"

"It's not possible with the way things are..." Niera Alstreim wryly smiled as she wiped her tears, "But at the very least, I wanted to experience this so-called bliss with you, but I realize that I was just selfish and delusional, thinking that I can force this to happen with an aphrodisiac even if you were a little hesitant about me."

"I apologize for forcing myself upon you..."

Niera Alstreim stood up with a sad smile on her face, her legs floating as she made her way to the exit. It was as if she no longer wished to stay here as she felt shame, but she suddenly stopped with her back facing him. Her body trembled as her voice echoed.

"I envy your wives for having someone like you who would not take advantage of me when I was half-hearted. Nevertheless, even though my last selfish wish was left unfulfilled, my determination hasn't changed. I ask that you keep quiet about my determination to sacr-"

"I was the one who set up all this..." Davis suddenly uttered.

"..."

Momentary silence revolved around in the cave before Niera Alstreim suddenly turned to look at him, her expression confused.

"What...?"
