Chapter 1582 – Nadia's Transfomation

Everyone called out her name at the same time before Isabella waved her hands.

"No, he is alive. At least, we're trying to keep him alive...!"

Nadia gazed at Davis, her dark purple eyes gleaming with an otherworldly light before she whimpered, tears flowing down her eyes.

"Master... I'm sorry that I wasn't able to protect you..."

Her words resounded in their hearts, causing them to lower their heads. They all equally felt guilty of weighing him down, unable to protect him, especially Isabella, as the strongest, felt more responsibility than anyone else in being unable to protect him.

Nadia kept whimpering.

In truth, she had been trying to break out like crazy since she couldn't feel the soul connection anymore. It made her truly scared and woke her up out of her slumber. The mutation wasn't complete, but she scrambled to break free, wanting to know what happened to her master as the connection was forcefully severed from his side.

And looking at his unmoving figure, tears ran down her wolf face.

However, instead of moving to the front to near Davis, she took a few steps back, instinctively knowing that her current aura would do more harm than good.

She couldn't even near her master in this state, making her feel worse before she turned around and flew off, whimpering as she left his side. Her dark silhouette caused Evelynn and the others to feel more pain, while Isabella went limp as she knelt down.

If Nadia had taken one step closer, she would've truly needed to take action since Nadia's deathly aura would be disastrous to Davis and also the life-attribute tree that's radiating a life aura.

Fortunately, it appeared like Nadia knew that herself in an instinctive manner and left, but that just made her feel even worse.

She knew that Nadia loved Davis.

How can she not be together with him at this moment?

"Davis... please wake up..."

Isabella's lips quivered as she said her wish out loud, causing the hearts of others to resonate as well.

Nadia flew out of the Purple Guest Palace, just whimpering as she aimlessly flew away, as far from Davis as possible.

In the sunset, her appearance was rather accentuated. It had drastically changed as her height was now no more than a meter tall. However, she still had her wings, twin tails, and horn, which now looked dull and colorless rather than having that regal golden tone.

Still, she looked gorgeous even as a wolf. A coat of dark purple fur surrounded her neck. The pitch-black gaseous aura that surrounded her made her look extremely mysterious.

Many people noticed her, their hearts trembling as they felt their aura while she herself looked at them, a strange light gleaming in her eyes.

Sometime after her departure, she started to feel intense hunger. It made her eyes blurry and her mind muddled, making her feel rather funny and terrible at the same time.

The people seemed to be running away from her, shouting all sorts of words that foretold calamity. However, it didn't bother her. No, it couldn't bother her because she could understand nothing.

The only thing she cared about now was food!

In truth, Nadia's mutation half-a.s.sedly ended as she forced herself out of the chrysalis, making her feel she lacked something. The hunger was perhaps a manifestation of that something, but it just made her feel worse. The only thing that was suppressing this ravenous feeling inside her stomach was her concern for her master's state, but once she left his side, she saw so much 'food' sprawling and escaping once they saw her.

Their running and retreating backs stimulated her predator instincts, even making her drool.

But her eyes abruptly narrowed, recalling that her master did not allow to eat any humans but only the ones that stood against them. She tried hard not to see them as food despite the terrifying hunger making her almost go mad.

However, she suddenly noticed those delicious food lying on the ground and sensing their dead auras, which she felt extremely sensitive towards; it didn't matter if she ate it, right? Because they're dead, it didn't matter, right?

Her thought processes weren't coherent nor clear.

She kept inwardly asking herself, and before she knew it, she was naturally attracted to the most delicious food she could smell in this place, munching on Zlatan Family Patriarch's corpse. Her fangs sank while her rough, sharp tongue practically tore the tough piece of flesh from his body as she tasted the juicy meat and swallowed.

'Mhm~ Very tasty~'

That was what she thought as she munched, swallowed, and devoured his whole body in a few dozen seconds despite encountering trouble in the middle.

At this time, Honorable Elder Julian Kruse and Honorable Elder Mihangel Evans, who were talking with their peers, were dumbfounded. They naturally noticed the mysterious dark-purple-furred wolf long ago, but the moment they saw her munching on Zlatan Family's Patriarch's corpse, their scalps turned numb.

"Halt!!!"

The two newcomers bellowed, especially the new Heaven Mandate Temple Elder who used his Mandate Laws. However, the strange wolf trembled for a moment before it continued eating.

"It... It withstood my Mandate Laws?" That new Heaven Mandate Temple Elder couldn't help but feel disbelief.

He, a High-Level Law Rune Stage Powerhouse, can't suppress a Low-Level Emperor Beast Stage Magical Beast with mere words filled with power!?

"Let's attack and kill it!"

He advised the others, causing them to solemnly nod.

"Stop! She belongs to us!"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim bellowed, causing the four of them to be stunned. He recognized Nadia even though she was a far cry from her previous self. Her twin tails gave it away for him.

"Yours...!?" Honorable Elder Julian Kruse looked dumbfounded as he pointed at Nadia.

"But... but she has the aura of death!!!"

"d.a.m.n it! If I'm saying that she belongs to us, then she belongs to us!"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim had no chill.

So what if it was Death Laws!? His Davis possessed it too!

The fact that he was t.i.tled Emperor of Death after his death should've already given some people some idea!

"That can't be..." Honorable Elder Julian Kruse didn't believe him.

How can they tame such a monster?

"Any being that possesses Death Laws are deemed evil. It should be disposed of now!"

"Of course not!"

"Dian, you should stay out of this..."

Honorable Elder Julian Kruse respectfully warned before they moved out.

However, their paths were suddenly barred!

"What is the meaning of this?"

Honorable Elder Julian Kruse narrowed his eyes.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim, Ancestor Tirea Snow, and Mival Silverwind blocked their paths. The latter recognized that it was Davis's magical beast mount as well, going by the name Nadia.

At the very least, he felt like he should protect her since he failed to protect Davis.

"You're not attacking her. She is ours and means no harm. If you do attack her, it means you're making an enemy out of us."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim coldly spoke, displaying his intentions to three High-Level Law Rune Stage Powerhouses, knowing that he was completely outcla.s.sed and overpowered.

They were just going to lash out when Honorable Elder Julian Kruse raised his hand to the side, stopping the matter from escalating. They simply watched, staring at each other while no one looked as if they wanted to make a move.

"...!?"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim belatedly noticed that the new Heaven Gazing Sect Honorable Elder was missing after his figure and aura slowly disappeared.

"A light mirage!?"

His expression became unsightly as he turned around, catching a glimpse of Nadia's tails and no sign of that elder.

Indeed, Nadia still had her remarkable and iconic twin tails. While they were shaking in delight from eating all those juicy and energizing meat, they suddenly stopped shaking, and one of her tails whipped behind.

A wave of pitch-black energy rushed at the powerhouse, who tried to ambush her from behind!

That powerhouse became surprised as he hadn't even revealed his undulations yet but looking at the tail that whipped at him, he scoffed, knowing that it was merely a Low-Level Emperor Beast Stage attack that rarely had a chance to harm him.

'So what if this magical beast uses Death Laws? Its aura is actually so weak... Many think Heaven Gazing Sect's Elders can't fight properly. I will show them that it isn't the case and regain the dignity and reputation junior elder Julian Kruse lost for our sect today...'

"Watch my light suppress the darkness!"

He casually waved his hand, light descending to erase the death that everyone was so afraid of, and he did so confidently and callously, intending to get his might through the people present.

However, his expression froze as he saw the pitch-black gloom engulf his light in an instant. Before he could even retreat, it shot right by his face, missing by a margin from his cheeks, but when he turned to look, he found the arm and shoulder he used to attack was missing, crumbled into black ashes.

"Ah... Ah!?"

He trembled while not even feeling pain, rapidly realizing the consequences when suddenly his expression froze.

The ominous wolf was right in front of his face before its jaws suddenly opened agape!

"Nadia, no!"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim bellowed, but Nadia just growled at that Honorable Elder.

Looking at the wolf's menacing face and ominous aura, he instantly rushed back, feeling his heart pound in trepidation.

Nadia closed her mouth, looking at that powerhouse who dared to attack her retreat out of her sight.

At this moment, every powerhouse present became taken aback as they saw Nadia's changes.

The dull horn on her forehead without any color abruptly shone with a hazy purple light, becoming clear. The horn possessed a dark purple tone and a black edge at the tip, radiating an otherworldly ominous might!

Her prowess with her death energy that hovered instantly grew from Mid-Level Ninth Stage to the peak of High-Level Ninth Stage, perhaps almost entering the Peak-Level when she was still nothing but a Low-Level Emperor Beast Stage Magical Beast!

She didn't enter the Mid-Level Emperor Beast Stage but clearly, eating the Zlatan Family's Patriarch managed to give her a ma.s.sive energy boost that satiated her hunger, reasonably restoring her health from the self-botched mutation on top of reigniting her acquired King-Tier state.

Moreover, there were still a few more corpses for her that could very well make her reach the Mid-Level Emperor Beast Stage!

After that, who could possibly be her match in this world!?

When Honorable Elder Julian Kruse realized this, his scalp turned numb in fright!

This ominous and unidentified wolf was almost at the level of the Calamity Light in his eyes!

In truth, Nadia was on the brink of death a few moments ago due to breaking out of her chrysalis. She might've died from over-exhaustion if she hadn't consumed nutritious meat like the Zlatan Family's Patriarch. Not just from simple over-exhaustion, but exhaustion from the mutation taking a ma.s.sive toll on her body, still changing the structure of her body.

Once she consumed that Peak-Level Martial Overlord Stage meat, she no longer felt muddled. Her mind was clear, and she no longer felt as exhausted as before, meaning that she had perhaps fully adapted to the mutation that her body went through.

However, sorrow managed to sweep into her heart as she recalled her master's unmoving figure. A burst of hatred rushed to her head as she realized that these corpses were none other than what her master used his life to kill, like that time when he fainted after killing those fiery apes.

"AWOOOO!~~~~"

She threw her head above as she howled at the rising moon, voicing out her reluctance and hatred to the world!

However, her howl brought tumultuous waves of terror into the hearts of numerous people, making them cry out in fright as they all started to escape!

Even the three Honorable Elders from the Heaven Gazing Sect and Heaven Mandate Temple who remained felt their hearts tremble in trepidation as they retreated!
