Chapter 2754: Eldia's True Intent

Chapter 1420 – Eldia’s True Intent

Davis smiled, but he suddenly became confused amidst Eldia's excitement.

"You know about heavenly tribulation lightning?"

Could it be that she had seen a heavenly tribulation before in her lifetime?

"No…! But I can sense this lightning is otherworldly!!! It's comprised of the purest form of lightning that I have ever seen! Only a bolt of lightning from the purest energy of the heavens can be like this!"

Davis didn't really understand, but she meant that the strand was a heavenly lightning instead of heavenly tribulation lightning. The two may be one or different, or it may just be a play on words. He really couldn't say which one with the little information he possessed but felt that it might be the former.

Still, he couldn't help but ask.

"You say that this strand is a heavenly lightning… Can you give me some examples? Like, have you seen it before?"

"Yes! I think the reason why we are birthed by heaven and earth energy is because of the existence of a strand of heavenly lightning nurturing our Will for many years, allowing us to become sentient if we reach the required level. I watched a Lightning Elemental grow through this process and watched another Lightning Elemental in its initial stages of birthing before I decided to devour it. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to devour the strand of heavenly lightning, but this…"

Eldia sounded as if she was staring at a delicious meal, her n.a.k.e.d black-lightning silhouette body trembling with d.e.s.i.r.e.

"The heaven and earth…"

Davis couldn't help but mutter, feeling like he had grasped onto something.

Could it be that there are all sorts of Heavenly Laws out there?

For example, Heavenly Fire…?

A wisp of heavenly fire gives birth to a Fire Elemental, but after its Will has been nurtured and the heavenly fire disappears while the Elemental itself is now considered an Earthly Fire?

The heaven gives birth to the earth; earthly beings…?

Davis blinked again, feeling like his head hurt for no reason.

Nevertheless…

'My Lightning Elemental is a researcher?'

Davis's brows twitched as he felt he could write a novel of his own. Exactly what was she doing watching other Lightning Elementals? As she said, he could only infer that all beings were curious of all matters and things, even the reason for their birth.

He looked at her, drooling at the strand of tribulation lightning. At least, her stare looked as if she was drooling, making him content as this reaction was the one he expected her to have.

How could a Lightning Elemental that fed on lightning not know the purity of this lightning?

Otherwise, he would lack the ability to completely make her submit to him.

"What do you think?"

"Master, this…" Eldia sounded hesitant, "This strand is so pure and powerful. If I absorb this, I might be able to gain numerous benefits…"

"Mhm? You want it? But you haven't done anything for me yet..?"

Davis sounded confused as if he couldn't understand why she would want it, while Eldia's body trembled again as she lowered her head.

"If I remember correctly, I only said that I would provide you with twenty percent of my soul force every week, and twice a week if you forgave that three people who trapped you and you said that you want to come here instead of wanting energy twice a week. And now you say that you want this invaluable heavenly lightning?"

"Did you know how difficult it was for me to plunder it from the heavenly tribulation?"

"…!?"

Eldia trembled more than ever while the gaze she directed at Davis was full of reverence. She had never seen but heard of heavenly tribulations before, at least, from the red-robed people who could use red-colored lightning. She had always hidden from them before being finally caught by that damned fox-human but nevertheless…

Plundering it from the heavenly tribulation? What kind of human had she got stuck to? She couldn't help but feel that this was insane.

"I don't even know if you will harm me after absorbing this heavenly lightning. One more breakthrough, and you'll enter the Ninth Stage, far more than something I am capable of handling. Do you expect me to be subjected to your whims while I entertain you?"

"Master, I…"

Eldia was at a loss for words. She didn't know how to convince them that she wasn't a threat, that she wouldn't harm him, but he never seemed to believe her, making her rather feel aggrieved. He had saved her yet was now looking at her with suspicion, making her confused.

However, contrary to her thoughts, Davis knew what she felt with his Heart Intent reading her feelings. His soul prowess was capable of vaguely feeling it because she was already n.a.k.e.d, no protection in terms of defense.

But…!

He had a tough time believing that this thousands of-year-old Lightning Elemental could become attached to him just for saving her. Of course, his overbearing death energy might've also played a role in suppressing her thoughts of freedom, but he hadn't done anything worthy of such feelings that he couldn't help but probe her, and sensing that she was feeling aggrieved, he finally understood that she had really submitted long ago.

"Say, if I were to give it to you, what would you do for me?"

He suddenly asked, his voice sounding curious.

Eldia's trembling stopped before she simply bowed in her humanoid form.

"I'm already under master's command. I will do anything master requires me to…"

Davis frowned.

Perhaps, there was no need to doubt her loyalty at all?

'Was I too overcautious…?'

Davis couldn't help but feel that he was taking it too far with checking her integrity, but since he could be in potential danger, he couldn't afford to relax. He had already taken his death energy away from her but still surrounded her with normal lightning attribute soul force.

Perhaps, deep suspicion would only carve a hole in their bond that was just beginning to take shape.

He certainly couldn't allow that to happen if they were to co-exist.

To maintain trust with his wives, he always had or mostly been honest with his actions and way of doing things. He hadn't lied unless it concerned Fallen Heaven, and even then, he just avoided the question or faked an action instead of directly lying to them.

'Eldia's feelings are much more sophisticated than simple like a yes or no statement. Sigh, I better stop manipulating her…'

Davis made up his mind.

"I'll be straightforward with you. I want to use this heavenly lightning for myself but couldn't at my current body's level. However, you, on the other hand, can precisely digest this heavenly lightning, making you gain immense benefits. All I ask is for your loyalty, and that might-"

"I am loyal to you, master. You brought me out of captivity, and I enjoyed my time in my birthplace more than I thought I could've…"

Eldia interrupted, causing Davis's eyes to blink.

"It's fine if I don't get to devour this strand of heavenly lightning. It's rightfully master's, so I'll try not to look at it…"

She sounded sad, but even as she said, it was like she struggled to keep her head from turning around.

Davis's brows twitched. It was rather obvious to him how Eldia's instincts were screaming for her to devour the heavenly lightning that was just near to her. To control one's instincts when something tempts is a difficult and daunting task.

For one, when one is hungry, and a lavish meal is placed in front of them, it would be extremely difficult for them to say no to partaking in it!

Yet, as a Lightning Elemental, she stayed her hand and even said that she would try to keep her eyes off of it.

Davis's respect towards her grew as he really didn't think some beings were capable of suppressing their l.u.s.t and d.e.s.i.r.e, with him being a fine example that he had become now. It was especially the case when he and Eldia hadn't bonded much, but she was still capable of holding herself back.

He was starting to like her more and more, that he couldn't help but smirk.

"You can have it…"

Eldia was wallowing in sadness and had difficulty holding herself back, but when abruptly hearing Davis say something that sounded stimulating, her expression lit up as black-lightning crackled.

"Master…?"

She sounded as if wanting to confirm that Davis couldn't help but laugh out again.

"Hehe, I said that you could have the heavenly lightning… After we return from that secret space that you once led us from, that is…"

*Whoosh!~*

Eldia, who had just entered his dantian, shot outside of his body as her energy body was summoned again.

"Master, let's go!!!"

She danced around the skies, looking incredibly excited as lightning flashed.

"Your enthusiasm has shot through the roof…" Davis chuckled at Eldia.

Eldia stopped for a moment before her crackling black-lightning receded, almost looking as if she were embarrassed.

Davis blinked before he shook his head, feeling heartened that he had gotten such a Lightning Elemental.

'Well, she had probably lost so much of her pride being imprisoned for thousands of years… Maybe I'll help her become her prideful self, regain her dignity back…'

"Alright, follow me…"

Davis headed back towards the place where he left off Nero Alstreim and Nadia while Eldia followed him back without uttering a word, simply yet happily dancing in the skies. They met up, and from there, they made their way to the hidden island, maneuvering the distorted space with Eldia's help before they managed to reach the familiar withered tree that had the viridian fruit, a fruit that possessed a semblance of Life Laws within it.
