Chapter 54
Davis then probed the jade crystal with his Soul Sense. His expression changed into one of anger before he hid it quickly.
In the jade crystals, there were also missions to abduct Clara, Diana and even the newly born Edward.
He had the urge to crush those jade crystals but stopped himself from doing that. He could laugh it off when he saw his name in a mission, but he couldn’t take it when he saw his siblings being targeted.
‘Makes sense, if I am a target then they are too. Tch, wait! These are just Low-Level Sky Grade Missions, maybe even Dad and Mom are listed in the higher grade missions. Just who is the mission issuer? It might possibly be that Emperor Tritor or that Emperor Raven for all I know, damn it!’
Davis felt helpless right now. If he had known who was targeting them, then it will make it easier for him to kill whoever it was.
He was not wary of famous people, he was only wary of people who hide their identities.
With the Death Book, he could easily kill off famous people who were within his limits but cannot do the same to people who hide their identities as he would have to discover their identities first which makes it a little difficult for him to kill them.
He took a few seconds to calm himself down before probing into the jade crystals once again.
He found some suitable missions for himself. If he was able to kill those targets then he will be able to reach even the Mid-Level Young Soul Stage sooner.
After accepting multiple missions, he then left the Dark Earth Organization Branch and headed off to kill a target.
This target was a powerful merchant of the Loret Empire who engages in shady business secretly. His age was over 200 years old and his soul cultivation was that of Low-Level Young Soul Stage.
After Davis had used the Death Book to bait and kill him, it was almost dawn.
He absorbed his deceased soul and refined it.
He felt his soul energy increase rapidly as he absorbed the refined soul energy and after a few minutes, he felt his soul energy fill reaching its limit.
Just when he tried to break through, he encountered a bottleneck.
‘Things won’t be that simple, will it?’ Davis sighed.
Seeing that it was late, he made his way to the Royal Castle.
He decided that he would turn in the mission later tonight or tomorrow.
…
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
In these few days, Davis concentrated on his efforts to breakthrough into the Young Soul Stage.
He turned in his target’s corpse on the first day and got the Low-Level Sky Grade Dark Earth Organization’s Badge and 1000 Purple Coins as his reward.
After this, he thought of visiting Evelynn before deciding to concentrate on his Soul Cultivation first.
He felt confident in breaking through, so he stayed in seclusion in the Royal Castle as three days passed.
In the evening.
Davis who was in seclusion finally achieved Low-Level Young Soul Stage.
He could now feel his soul residing in his soul sea weirdly palpitate in resonance with the Death Book.
He felt that his Death Book probably gained a new ability but he wasn’t in a hurry to find out, so he put the matter aside.
He kind of felt immensely proud of himself for breaking through the bottleneck in 3 days before his thoughts quickly moved onto someone else.
‘Yes! Today night, I will finally visit Evelynn no matter what!’
Just as he made his way into the Study, he saw Ellia cultivating there with a peaceful expression on her face. She sat in a lotus position while focusing but it just made her look cute.
It almost made him want to pinch her face but decided not to, since her cultivation might go berserk if he had disturbed her.
He just sat and watched her face with a smile on his face.
He couldn’t help but think her off as a cute animal, it even all the more made him want to pat her head.
He hurriedly shook his head. ‘This isn’t right, I’m acting too close to her. It’s almost as if we are siblings.’ He thought, a little disoriented.
Davis unknowingly moved closer to her.
He then looked at her face again, his face was at arm’s length away from her face. This time his eyes involuntarily stopped at her lips.
He couldn’t help but feel an unknown emotion in his heart.
Ellia who was cultivating suddenly opened her eyes. She caught him staring at her lips as she felt her face burn up.
“Ah” Davis had seen her open her eyes so he involuntarily made a sound.
‘Damn, I got caught…’ Davis had a calm face outside but his heart was beating slightly faster.
He stood up and walked back whistling as if nothing happened. He then calmly left the Study and headed to the Library.
Ellia who was seated there clenched her fists in embarrassment. Her face still didn’t stop burning up.
‘What was that? What was he doing so close to my face? Why did he keep staring at me?’ Thoughts swirled around her head as she entered her own world of delusions.
After that, she couldn’t get into the mood to cultivate no matter how she tried!
……
Davis who was on his way to the library chanted in his head.
‘I’m not a Lolicon, I’m not a Lolicon, I’m not a Lolicon, I’m not a Lolicon.’ He kept chanting it as he noticed a slight problem in the lower part of his body.
‘I’ve hit puberty…’ He thought wryly.
He would’ve been happier at the fact that he had hit puberty but the situation that he had found out in, wanted to made him hide in a hole.
He felt weird since morning, but as he was cultivating his soul, he put the matter at the back of his head which now led to his embarrassment.
‘Anyway, this is bad, and just when I am going to meet Evelynn… I hope I don’t make stupid decisions at her place.’ He felt that someone was playing with his life.
He was determined to not let his lower part of the body influence his thoughts.
Davis then arrived at the library to pass his time.
He read some information on how to use his soul effectively and read about some miscellaneous information which could possibly be useful one day.
