Chapter 42
Davis learned a few Battle Techniques before, that uses his Soul Cultivation . They were known as Dark Concealing Shroud Art, Soul Suppression Art, Sacred Mark Art, and Unholy Brand Art .
Dark Concealing Shroud Art is a Low Level Sky Grade Battle Technique . It is used to conceal a person's presence, energy and soul aura using soul energy . It's power exhaustion is minimum, especially in the night . Davis would have been only able to use this Battle Technique if he had cultivated in a dark attributed Soul Cultivation method, and fortunately, he had his Death Note which emits dark and evil energy .
Soul Suppression Art, is a Peak Level Earth Grade Technique . It suppresses the target's soul . If the target is weaker than the user, then the target will not be able to move at all . If the target is stronger than the user, then it will provide a suppression effect depending on the target's cultivation level .
When Davis found these two Battle Techniques, the Sacred Mark Art and the Unholy Brand Art, he was shocked . This was a technique that can be used to brand a person's soul, making that person into a Soul Slave .
Even though the name Sacred Mark Art sounds righteous, it was no different than Unholy Brand Art . These two Battle Techniques needs a person to cultivate either light attributed or dark attributed Soul Cultivation Technique respectively .
Davis decided to train in both since he has both the light and dark attributes .
… . . .
"There are many other Battle Techniques as well, but once you learn all these by yourself, even if you learn other techniques, it may not be much useful . "
"So what you are doing when you are in my study is, secretly practice it . Now memorize these techniques . I'll stay here looking around . "
"Is it truly ok? If I get caught, you will be the one facing trouble…while I might possibly die . "
"It's really fine . Even if someone got a complaint, it will have to go through my father . My father is the only problem though . Well, I'll handle it at that time . " Davis casually replied .
'Is he thinking that he is above everyone else in the Empire?' Though she was really happy and thankful towards Davis, she couldn't help but think that if he is an idiot .
Davis would vomit blood if he knew what she was thinking right now .
They stayed at the Library for a few hours .
Davis saw many miscellaneous Battle Techniques . He took liking to some of them and memorized for training in them later . For example, the Family Disabling Palm, which is aimed at one's kidney . It immediately ruins a person's ability to use his ding dong and renders it useless .
Another one is Meridian Crippling Palm, which cripples the Essence Gathering Cultivation of the target if one is able to successfully sever the meridians .
Davis got really interested as he thought of using the Family Disabling Palm on his father, but after a moment of contemplation, he thought that it was too cruel to his mother so he let go his evil idea .
But still, he decided to learn this techniques as it might be quite useful in this world .
As he just finished memorizing those Battle Techniques, he went to look for Ellia .
Just as he saw Ellia, he was surprised .
"Davis told you learn here you say?" A little kid about 5 years old with a cold gaze questioned .
"Yes, Prince Davis told me to learn Battle Techniques which he recommended personally . " Ellia looked left and right, waiting for the arrival of Davis .
Once she caught sight of him, she shouted .
"Prince Davis!" "Brother!"
They then both looked at each other .
"Haha, Clara, I was just about to visit you . "
"Hmph, you didn't visit me for a week . "
"How could I? Didn't mother take you to tour around the Royal Capital for a week?"
"Yes!" Clara's face brightened up .
After that event, the relationship between Clara and her parents got normal again . The true reason they brought her out was to not let Clara find out about Davis's punishment or else things would rather turn awkward between them again .
Davis also didn't tell about that to Clara as he had a tacit understanding with his mother . He didn't want to create problems either .
"Good! Come, let me introduce you to my personal maid, Ellia . " Davis patted her head .
"Ellia, this is the First Princess, Clara Loret, my little sister . "
"Ellia pays her respects to the First Princess . " She bowed down gracefully and smiled .
"Personal Maid? No wonder she would say that you told her to learn here . " Clara nodded her head in understanding .
"But that doesn't warrant a maid learning our Sky Grade Battle Techniques, let alone stepping into the Castle Library . And the way she calls you Prince Davis, it's almost as if she is acting . " Clara narrowed her eyes and gazed at Ellia like a hawk eyeing it's prey .
Ellia's smile froze and looked at Davis for help .
'Such accuracy! Scary!' Davis thought . She only heard a single time but managed to see the deceit in it .
"Haha, that's my sister, honestly you have the potential to become a detective but I won't talk about that right now . You see, Ellia is my friend and she calls me Davis . "
"A friend? Not a maid?"
"Both…"
"What!? Which is first?" Clara looked at Ellia and asked with anger .
"Huh… I am a maid, then a friend . " Ellia answered truthfully . She had no idea but thought that she should not lie to this person .
"Brother! She seduced you!" Clara shouted, stood in front of Davis and blocked him from Ellia .
'Eh? Isn't that the opposite?' Ellia cried mentally .
Davis facepalmed .
'This is gonna be an headache . '
"Erm… Clara, it was I who told Ellia to call me Davis . I wanted her to become my friend you see…"
"How can a royalty lower oneself to be friends with a maid? Brother, this is atrocious and disgraceful!" Clara looked at Davis and shouted furiously .
Ellia put her head down in shame . Her official identity still was a maid .
'Ah my life as a personal maid is going to end, probably even my life . ' Ellia thought ruefully and was a little scared of separating away from Davis .
