Davis's eyes flashed with a crimson hue, witnessing that he could not see through Araz's lifespan or name with his Death God Eyes.

'As expected, his Soul Essence compares to an Eighth Stage existence...'

From this, he could also confirm that his own Soul Forging Cultivation was two levels stronger than his current level.

Nevertheless, not knowing whether Araz would die soon or turn in a greater existence which seeks revenge in the future, Davis seriously considered ending Araz's life.

Suddenly, sounds of footsteps pressing on the grassy soil rang out as a few magical beasts approached Araz. With cautious steps, they neared their King while casting glances at them. Their yellowish pupils flickered with reflection as he could see that their eyes were moist.

The Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolves all neared Araz, and it was mostly because they saw that the human and the Queen weren't hostile anymore. They used their muzzles and paws to nudge Araz to wake up. They licked his wounds that were oozing out before they all let out saddened whimpers and howls, telling their King something Davis couldn't understand.

When he glanced at Nadia, he could see her eyes trembling before her body shivered.

Davis narrowed his eyes, "Did you remember your father?"

Nadia's golden pupils dilated as she fiercely swiveled her head away from him, her tear, plummeting to the ground.

In the past, Nadia lost her father to the Crowned Violet-Winged Condor. At that time, she grieved his loss.

Davis cast his glance back to Araz, and the other wolves before he nodded his head in understanding, "So they're his direct line..."

A bunch Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolves, consisting of female wolves, grown wolves, and little wolves. Davis perceived that they all might be Araz's women, grown children, and growing children.

He could see that perhaps Nadia recognized herself as one of those little female wolves, letting out sorrowful howls for her own father to wake up after the Crowned Violet-Winged Condor ended his life.

Furthermore, when he heard those sorrowful howls of those infant Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolves, it triggered a memory that made him recall Little Mo Mingzhi, and the time he killed her father with the Death Book. At that time, Little Mo Mingzhi also despairingly cried beside her father's corpse.

"L-Let's go, master..." Nadia stuttered as she unknowingly suppressed her voice.

Davis didn't reply, berate, or tease her. He just narrowed his eyes in contemplation for a few seconds before he descended.

The Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolves all became alarmed as they ran away and hid behind trees. They didn't move far away so that they could come back to their father, their King, once the human left.

*Awoo~*

Sounds of pleading echoed at the same time, however, Davis neared Araz and stood before the motionless and fainted body.

However, his gaze stayed on the three-meter tall wolf that stood by his side, refusing to move. Their stature was contrasting, with Davis being the shorter one and the wolf being the taller one.

Nevertheless, Davis knew the this Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolf was nothing more than an innocent cub, perhaps, recently born. Even then, it possessed the strength of a Third Stage existence. It barred its fangs at him but didn't dare to attack. Instead, it even shivered as if it was deeply afraid.

Many wolves by the side let out sorrowful howls, telling the cub to return, and only after a few seconds of stare contest did it lower its head and whimpered in a helpless tone, indicating that it submitted.

Davis didn't do anything. Instead, he looked at the other wolves, wondering why they didn't speak to him in the Sky Word Language to engage in communication, but in any case, he lost interest in them and cast a look at Araz's battered body.

He extended his hand, and a pure white and gentle energy flowed out of his palm.

The numerous Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolves were instantly stunned!

Didn't the King apologize? Why is that human attacking again!?

"Human! Don't!"...

"Please! Let our father go!"

"Human! I'll become your Magical Beast Mount! Let our King live!"

Many voices abruptly echoed as they desperately tried to convince Davis. They all pleaded, but none of them dared to attack.

Davis knew why since Nadia appeared behind him, but he inwardly sneered at them because only now did they remember that they could talk.

'What a farce... Is this why it is said in the cultivation world that communicating instead of attacking means that you have already lost the battle?'

"Is master going to kill him?" Nadia asked without a change in her expression.

Davis didn't reply and sank the pure white healing energy into the large wolf's body. It sank into his deep gash for a moment before Davis pulled it back.

An astonished expression painted his face before his lips widened in glee. He ignored all the pleas echoing around him and shouted, "I have a secret technique that will allow your King to wake up recovered, but that needs a High-Level Lord Beast Stage Magical Beast to sacrifice its soul..."

"Is there anyone at the High-Level Lord Beast Stage who is willing to lay their lives for this so-called King?"

Davis shouted, and a wolf abruptly walked out from one of the trees before looking at him with moist eyes, "Human, what you are saying, is it true?"

Davis just nodded his head at this Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolf with a female voice.

Of course, he lied about the sacrifice part.

He just discovered that the energy invoked from the white tendrils from Fallen Heaven, the pure white healing energy healed the wounds of this King-Tier Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolf!

Initially, he figured that darkness attributed magical beast like the Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolf will experience corrosion when subjected to the pure white healing energy, but contrary to his assumptions, it actually healed.

If Araz recovered, then he gets to live healthily and protect his clan while also ending up grateful to him for saving him! The hatred and humiliation will also be erased by a great degree.

If Araz died like he initially assumed, then Davis would gain anyway in the form of his soul essence. It was a win-win situation for Davis.

Nevertheless...

Wasn't darkness attributed magical beasts usually aversed to light attributed healing? Light attributed healing would only make them miserable instead of making them recover from injuries.

This completely made him believe and cleared the vague amount of doubt he possessed, that the pure white healing energy wasn't light attributed but something greater!

Just like the death-like energy that wasn't darkness attributed, this pure white healing energy also wasn't light attributed energy but something greater, like the origin of vibrancy, life!

And this also finally helped him lay down his inhibitions in healing an injured Nadia with this pure white healing energy since he was initially afraid that it would hurt her because of her darkness attributed body.

As for the reason why he needed a sacrifice... He just wasn't going to heal the King-Tier Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolf Araz for free! Especially when they were at odds with each other and had a score to settle!

He initially thought that he could gain the Peak-Level Seventh Stage Soul Essence that could be comparable to an Eighth Stage Soul Essence, but if he couldn't get it, why not just settle for a High-Level Seventh Stage Soul Essence?

Besides...

In the deafening silence that lasted for three seconds, the wolf with the female voice finally spoke again, "I'll give my soul for the sacrifice... but what you're saying, it'd better be true..."

Bestowing a little bit of hope... Clutching unstable straws to save loved ones, even if it comes from the enemy...

Davis narrowed his eyes as he smiled. However, it appeared quite sinister to the Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolves as they felt a chill on their backs while their fur stood up on all ends.
