Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 550 Recovering From The Backlash

But at the time Davis discovered that the person was Lucas, Evelynn had simultaneously poisoned Lucas without even bothering to find out who he was in her anger!

*Thud!~*

It sounded like a body fell flat on the ground without any resistance.

It didn't take Davis much to realize that Lucas had been poisoned to a great degree, making Lucas completely unable to retaliate.

At this time, Evelynn flew towards him in an instant and a pill appeared in her palm. It was none other than one of the antidotes she had for treating her own poison. 

Tears were already flowing down her cheeks, but she didn't dare to waste time and quickly tried to shove the pill into Davis's mouth.

"You! What are you doing?" Davis captured her hands with difficulty as they struggled.

"Trying to cure you!" Evelynn shouted anxiously as she struggled to shove the pill into his mouth. 

Davis became stunned. 

Despite being plagued by numerous afflictions from the backlash, it only took a moment for him to understand her point of view.

"I'm not poisoned!" Davis moved his lips with all seriousness. He then grabbed the pill from her fingers and with all difficulty, flew out of the window before he started to plummet to the ground due to the weakness.

Fortunately, Evelynn who was cautiously and worriedly following him closely caught his back as she embraced him.

Davis groaned as he felt weak. He felt that time was rather short!

However, a solution quickly came across his mind.

A steak of light shot from his glabella and the green pill that was on his palm was taken away by a translucent entity that looked similar to him.

The entity instantly pointed towards Lucas, who was severely twitching at this point. Lucas's entire skin turned ashen grey while some parts of the skin produced blisters and even signs of decay because of over poisoning.

His mouth ejected white froth while blood seeped out from his nose.

The entity which came out from Davis's glabella quickly forced the pill into Lucas's mouth by using soul force.

From the distance, few figures were heading towards in their direction while Princess Isabella was already floating in the sky near the building, looking perplexed as to what had happened.

She had quickly arrived here as soon as she felt Evelynn's essence energy explode but was shocked to see that it was poison. She just stayed there, feeling hesitant to interfere in this matter since she was an outsider and did not understand anything right now.

Soon, the others arrived one by one and Lucas had started showing signs of stability.

When Daniuis saw his son lying on the ground while he felt the remnants of poison laws, he went pale!

"What happened?"

"The situation is under control. For now, I have given him the antidote but let's wait until he wakes up before I give an explanation." The translucent entity replied, which was none other than Davis's Avatar.

The others just felt that it was Davis's soul body and couldn't place their fingers on the difference since they didn't know much about avatar techniques in the first place. They didn't even know of its existence!

Soul Bodies could be conjured by using one's soul force and it was similar to avatars in many ways but unlike a soul body which is a part of a person's soul essence and fleshy body, an avatar can be considered a separate entity even though it has its origins and deep connection with its original.

"Alright..." Daniuis nodded as he saw Davis being held by Evelynn while the former displayed weakness.

'An enemy attack?' He felt confused.

At this point, Su Hualing and the other two sisters showed up as they simultaneously let out cries of worry and agony. Lucia had also shown along with Nina and they were stunned to see Lucas's pale figure.

Nina's stomach looked a little bigger as if she was fat, except she wasn't as a baby was growing inside her. Her face became filled with an aghast expression as she suddenly felt weak.

Fortunately, Lucia supported her flight beside, not letting her fall down to the surface.

Davis's avatar picked Lucas up and took him to one of the many rooms he had in his building. Before further complications can occur, Davis felt that he had to personally look after Lucas, even in his current weakness.

The others all followed him to that room, wanting to confirm Lucas's safety while Evelynn and Davis returned to their room.

In the sky, Princess Isabella shot a look at Daniuis before leaving for her building. She did not worry about Davis's weakness since there was his mysterious master backing him.

The way she felt, it was as if no trouble could possibly make him worry.

However, without even her realizing it, she vaguely felt uneasy.

Logan and Claire looked confused and panic-stricken as they looked at Davis display weakness. They had never seen him like this before, not after he had grown into a man. They too followed him into his building in worry.

In their room, Davis had Evelynn place him on to the bed. In his soul, he shared his senses with his avatar, so he knew what was happening in the other room where Lucas's family was worried about Lucas.

Evelynn had wiped her tears away with her sleeves but those tears of hers still cascaded down her cheeks inadvertently from time to time while watching Davis recuperate while being seated cross-legged.

Logan and Claire too stood in the room but seeing that their son was focused on recuperating, they didn't dare disturb him. They asked Evelynn but she shook her head, not knowing what had happened to Davis.

Davis said to her that he was not poisoned, but then, how exactly was he wounded?

Evelynn felt confused and the thoughts in her mind were chaotically jumbled other than the one wish which stayed clear.

Nothing should happen to him!

She had her hands clasped as if she were praying to the heavens.

After twenty whole minutes, Davis finally opened his eyes and looked at the three people who were still standing in front of him, looking at him with worry, anxiousness and genuine warmth in their eyes.

He pursed his lips and took a deep breath, calming his soul in which the degree of pain had considerably lessened from that time.

The pain still existed, giving him throbbing spasms to his soul, however, he could take the brunt of it without much concentration needed or his expression changing.

He panned his gaze over to them and smiled with a tired expression his face, "Don't worry, I'm fine..."

The pain had resided but sacrificing 30% of his Soul Essence was no joke... He felt tired and sleepy which is quite unusual to a cultivator of his level.

Hearing his statement, the three of them visibly heaved a sigh of relief.

Especially Evelynn as her movements were more exaggerated because she directly collapsed to the ground.

However, before she could plant her back on the surface, Davis caught her and felt that her robes were mostly covered with sweat. He had been concentrating on recuperating that he forgot to reassure her.

So he quickly realized that all this time, she was perhaps constantly on her toes, worrying for him. He could've let out a word that it was not an injury but a backlash but he didn't do so...

He inwardly berated himself and caressed her head.

Evelynn wanted to cry over his chest but instantly realized that it could aggravate his injuries, so she held back her tears, pursed her lips and stood up, not wanting to burden him anymore.

With him telling them that he was fine, her thoughts were no longer chaotic.

"What happened?" 

At this time, Logan asked.
