"Legion Master~"
Yotan called out as she went on one knee upon noticing Davis's return, cupping her hands.
"Welcome back to your small empire. We have kept Young Mistress Tia in an isolated space within the island and well guarded by our Reaper Soul Legion. Mistress Ellia is also monitoring her, trying to help as much as she could." She reported, but her usual smile wasn't on her face, her voice resounding with solemness.
"Well done."
Davis nodded at her as he paused. He appeared like he wanted to say something with his mouth slightly parted but eventually shook his head.
"Keep her safe and protected for the time being. Even if she is possessed, don't harm her as much as you can. I'll go see what happened to Clara first as she seems to be relentlessly awake, unlike Tia…"
"As you please, Legion Master."
Yotan stood back up, dropping her respectful posture as she watched him leave. A faint layer of sorrow remained in her eyes as she saw his expressionless face, wondering why he must be faced with this kind of return when she knew this news should be hurting him inside.
She wanted to do something, but there was nothing she could help with other than protecting Tia's life.
Eventually, Davis and the others moved out of her gaze, causing her to close the island. There was no one else who could enter now, not even the Elders who were looking at them from afar as the island's defenses had been improved by Saintess Lunaria's command, although the command was publicly known to be given by Elder Aradiel Furiose.
There was also the matter of Evelynn and Clara.
The de facto leader of the island was Evelynn, but like Davis trusting her with the island's security, that trust was also directly placed on her by Evelynn, causing her to firmly protect the ones she cared about, that she would defend this island with her life no matter what.142.93.60.102
"Reapers, even if you were to lose your life this day, protect the Legion Master's Family at all costs!"
"Yes!"
Roared Threelotus, Praezen, Lightsky, Starlily, and the entire divisions of the Reaper Soul Legion, their loud and ardent voices practically brewing a storm as it extended out in all directions of the floating island. Surprisingly, all their undulations were at the Late Immortal King Stage, only a few levels away from reaching the Immortal Emperor Stage.
Naturally, they had double the manpower due to all of them using the Solitary Soul Avatar technique, so their main bodies were mostly in cultivation all day long, sometimes even using time chambers that increased the speed of time by two or three times, although it took a lot of immortal crystals to buy small abodes embedded with time formations that maintain a faster rate of time, making them expend thousands of Mid-Level Immortal Crystals by the hour for them to be able to actually use it.
One could say that they even overthrew the ridiculous spending rate of alchemists who were buying ingredients to fund their alchemy practice. But of course, the entire Reaper Soul Legion were also disciples of the Aurora Cloud Gate by this time, so their high earnings matched their expenditure as they completed missions in groups, not burdening their Legion Master's Family at all other than for some special resources reserved for the three Captains, Vice Commander Threelotus and Commander Yotan.
"…!"
Davis stood there stunned, not expecting his father to have become so passionate. However, he saw his father suddenly become self-aware and pointed at him.
"Fuck! I got old! You better not let me say something this embarrassing ever again, so get it together and go cure your precious little sister!"
"Why don't you go do it!?" Davis swiftly retorted.
"I believe the only one who can do it… is my son!"
Logan spoke ardently, the both of them staring at each other before Davis clenched his fist.
"Go die!"
Davis punched out, causing Logan to fly out like a kite that had its strings cut. He flew a few hundred meters down the hallway and crashed into the wall, sliding down as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Aha! As I expected… you're truly powerful!"
Logan couldn't help but delightfully roar at Davis despite him feeling his organs shake. He rushed his cultivation, but he was still a Peak-Level Immortal King character who could take on an average Level One Immortal Emperor at the very least with his comprehension that had yet to catch up to the Immortal King Grade, so his son's casual force was truly eye-opening for him.
After all, no one bothered to fight or even spar with him in respect for his affiliation as the father of the Emperor of Death, making him feel frustrated.
But with this, he finally felt that his efforts had been rewarded. His son was still alive and probably came back even stronger than when he left.
Honestly, Logan felt a lot of burden coming off his shoulders the moment he saw Davis. It was like he was carefree again, making a part of his gloomy mood disappear while even making his thoughts clear. Now, with this punch, he knew what he should do, causing him to stand up and appear before his son.
"Davis… did you know that little lass asked Saintess Lunaria to kill her if she ever dares to harm any other, much less if she completely loses her mind?"
"…"
Davis's gaze flickered, causing Logan to nod.
"Don't you ever mistake that your little sister gave up because she didn't, and Evelynn didn't fail on the treatment according to herself, you understand? I highly speculate that there's something deep hidden along the lines, but I nor Ellia could see what truly transpired. Perhaps… you might be able to figure it out with your otherworldly senses."
Logan solemnly warned, causing Davis to heave a breath before he nodded.
"I understand."
The father patted the son on his shoulder before the son turned around and pushed the door open, stepping into the chamber with a heavy heart.
