Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 3826  Twice The Restriction?

”A slave hex?”

Evelynn pursed her lips before she nodded, ”I do have but itʼs more deadly because itʼs prone to quickly activating upon the slaveʼs mistake. Itʼs more of a passive hex, meaning if I were to imbue some runes in the hex to restrict a movement like walking forward and if the slave dares walk forward despite the impossibility of it, then one of the three hexes, Collapse Hex, Sealing Hex or Poison Hex would befall them.”

”So you used Sealing Hex as a base to seal Claraʼs physique and disallow her from being influenced…”

”Precisely.”

Evelynn nodded to Davis, causing him to be intrigued.

He knew the three hexes, Collapsing Hex, Sealing Hex and Poison Hex were the innate hexes of the Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid. Evelynn learned many other hexes in her pursuit to cure Clara and in those moments, she had the idea of using her primary hexes as a base to build on the strength of her other hexes.

After all, most other hex techniques available on the hidden market or in the library of the Aurora Cloud Gate were pretty weak.

It was difficult to hex someone, so the intricacies involving hexes were always harder to comprehend but Evelynn had surpassed that advanced level and entered the expert level, now becoming able to mix a lot of hexes together in order to procure the effect she desired.

However, some hexes were faster and some were slower.

To cure Clara took so much research and a long surgery consisting of decaying her soul physique and reattaching it to a hex. In essence, Evelynn could control Clara but she also cut her connection to the hex. Hence, Clara had become a free soul devoid of influence.

But after coming here, the heavensʼ authority was too strong, so Claraʼs physique became connected to the heavens again. However, it seemed like she was still sane.

Regardless, he was glad that his beauties were all growing up powerful in their fields.

Davis chuckled, ”Thatʼs great. We can shut his mouth this way. I donʼt want to just rely on using my Judgment Laws on an Autarch, not knowing if it would take effect on such an entity.”

”So weʼre casting both? What if it interfered with each other and caused the hex to activate earlier?”

Evelynn asked with a frown.

She doubted his Judgment Laws and her Hex Laws were compatible.

One was a fusion of Karma Laws and Death Laws and the other was a fusion of Poison Laws and Karma Laws. Even if they were compatible, they couldnʼt just superimpose and needed to train together in order to become compatible.

”Donʼt we have the finest test subject here?” Davis winked.

”…”

It made Evelynn blink, not knowing what to say as it could make the Metenoa Familyʼs Autarch a retard. It went against their plans. However, she also agreed that there wasnʼt any easier way to improve their powers.

Besides, an Autarchʼs soul wasnʼt going to easily collapse. As long as they kept their powers to a minimum and tried to make their powers compatible, she felt it was definitely achievable.

Only, she didnʼt know if the Metenoa Familyʼs Autarch truly warranted such torture from them as it was going to be painful at the very least.

ʼWell… he did look like he was going to kill us if we werenʼt able to provide an explanation…ʼ

It didnʼt take much for Evelynn to shrug and nod her head at Davis.

”Very well. That settles it.”

Davis looked down, looking for a place to a secluded place to land on.

They couldnʼt just float in the air and risk further eyes peeping on them. Fortunately, he didnʼt sense any other presence other than feral beasts although those feral beasts were long gone since they were scared of the Autarchʼs presence.

Below them was a valley where a river ran. They descended and hid the flying boat behind a mountain, further descending to enter deep into the valley before they carved out a cave and entered.

The cave wasnʼt small but huge.

They surrounded the Metenoa Familyʼs Autarch.

Lereza floated above, sealing the surroundings with her vines while Evelynn, Isabella, Myria and Davis stayed inside the vines.

Myria stood behind Davis and placed her hand on Davisʼs naked back as he had removed his upper robe. It wasnʼt necessary that they hold hands but have direct contact, skin-to-skin contact for their souls to resonate.

On the other side, Evelynn sat opposite Davis. Between them was the Metenoa Familyʼs Autarch whose cultivation couldnʼt be sealed anymore. In fact, he was covered in an icy layer now, appearing to be frozen by Tanyaʼs sword attack.

If they left him alone and he didnʼt wake up, he would die in a few days.

Davis and Evelynn nodded and began casting their hex and judgment energy as they reached out their hands.

One exuded a dreadful and sinister sensation and the other was full of authoritative and condescending might.

Evelynn cast the Slave Hex. Her purplish-gray energy transformed into a crimson rube, holding the Collapse Hex as its base. She cast a weak hex to test the waters and pushed it towards the Metenoa Family Autarchʼs soul sea. Without much of a resistance, it latched on to the latterʼs soul sea, embedding itself in the soul essence.

It didnʼt matter if Metenoa Familyʼs Autarch went as far as to erase his memories. The hex would still activate if he broke the karmic condition imposed upon him.

The same goes for Davisʼs Judgment Laws. The only difference was that he couldnʼt actively control the personʼs movements while Evelynn can but the damage he could inflict was way worse than what Evelynn could inflict even if she used her Collapse Hex.

After all, this kind of hex could only be cast slowly while his Judgment Laws techniques were basically instant as long as he could reap the karmic nature of the opponent.

Davis had already collected the other partyʼs karmic nature.

He cast judgment energy on the Metenoa Familyʼs Autarch and imbued it with Evelynn.

”Ahh!”

As expected, Evelynnʼs hex seal broke as it came into contact with his judgment energy. As a result, the Metenoa Familyʼs Autarch woke up, his soul throbbing with immense pain as the Collapse Hex was inflicted on him as the remnant energy struck him.

At this moment, Isabella unleashed her dragon soul.

A dragon cry resounded in the Metenoa Family Autarchʼs soul, causing him to be struck with overwhelming might that collapsed his consciousness. It smashed his soul into reverberation and caused him to faint again from being unable to put up much of a resistance against the overwhelming pressure.

”No need to worry. Letʼs try again.”

Davis smiled like he was a benevolent physician treating a patient but his actions couldnʼt be any more ruthless.

He and Evelynn repeatedly cast their energy, trying to assimilate their hex and judgment energy. It wasnʼt a fusion but just superimposed on layers so that the energies donʼt interfere with each otherʼs effects.

After every try, they stopped to discuss what went wrong and so it took them three more hours. Myria also gave many inputs since she had mastered the fusion of many Primary Laws at a basic level.

After five more tries, the two of them smiled.

They finally discovered a method to allow the two powers to exist together, so they dispersed it and began creating anew, this time far more powerful and far more effective.

”…!”

Abruptly, the Metenoa Familyʼs Autarch woke up. He reached out his hand towards Davis, intending to kill him but unfortunately, his arm was nowhere to be found. His movements were also slow with him covered in ice and his cultivation sealed.

Davis and Evelynn didnʼt bother to react and cast their judgment energy and Slave Hex on him. By this time, they already knew what he was capable of and what he wasnʼt as they had him in their grasp.
