Chapter 528-Human Emperor Descendant
Chapter 528
After killing the two archdemons, Dave summoned more of his subordinates to help restore order in the area.
He entrusted the task of managing the situation to Naga, confident in her leadership skills.
During his battle with the archdemon and the emperor, he had already set Naga on a mission to hunt down and eliminate demons hiding among the civilians.
Naga, though strong, faced limitations due to her being a Divine Emperor while their enemies were Transcendental Beings.
Initially, Dave had considered using the opportunity to train her against stronger foes, but the significant power gap made this impractical. Instead, he had her focus on weaker demons.
Despite her lower rank, Naga successfully fought off hundreds of demons that besieged her, showcasing her resilience and combat skills.
As she battled, she witnessed Dave's overwhelming strength and efficiency in dispatching enemies, which left her in awe of his prowess.
Many others also saw Dave's remarkable feats, including his defeat of the emperor and the archdemons.
These displays of power and leadership inspired a sense of reverence and admiration among the people, leading them to begin worshipping him as a formidable protector and leader.
Dave had killed many nobles, but some managed to hide.
He delegated the task of hunting them down to his subordinates, ensuring they wouldn't escape.
With that taken care of, Dave turned his attention to the emperor's treasury.
Entering the treasury, he was amazed at the wealth amassed within.
Gold, jewels, and precious artifacts filled the room.
"This wealth should be enough to support raising an army of humans,"
Dave mused, thinking about the future of the human race.
He decided that Muller would lead the humans, distributing the resources where needed.
Dave only took a few treasures that might help him personally, leaving the rest for Muller and the human army.
As he emptied the treasury, he noticed a formation on the floor.
The formation intrigued him. It was an ancient array, glowing faintly with arcane symbols.
Dave could see the nature of the formation easily and was surprised that such a complex formation was used in this place.
"I can't underestimate people from the celestial plane, huh?"
The formation, difficult to create, was easily analyzed by Dave thanks to his mastery of formations and his Chaotic God eyes. He quickly identified its weakness.
"This is the Blood Extraction Formation," he muttered, recognizing its purpose. It was an evil formation used to extract someone's bloodline.
"Hmm, let's see what's inside."
With a wave of his hand, he created a hole in the formation, manipulating it as if he had created it himself. Without hesitation, Dave entered the formation.
Inside, he was stunned to see a woman in white clothes. Her face was pale, yet she was strikingly beautiful, her looks comparable to Naga.
She had dark blue hair and was chained within the formation, her eyes dull and devoid of hope.
In front of her floated a bottle filled with blood, extracted from her own body.
The woman's apparent age seemed to be between 20 and 30, but she was beginning to look older as her bloodline was drained.
Dave's eyes narrowed with determination. He could sense the strong bloodline within her and knew the extraction process was draining her life force.
"Who did this to you?" he asked softly, approaching her.
Her eyes flickered with a hint of recognition and fear.
"The emperor," she whispered weakly.
She was scared at first and thought that the emperor had appeared, but she saw a handsome human, and she could not help but be amazed, even in this condition.
Despite her fear and weakened state, the woman couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope when she saw the handsome human before her. His presence seemed to calm her, even in her dire condition.
Unbeknownst to her, her lips moved on their own accord, spurred by the hope of rescue.
Deep down, she held onto the belief that someone would come to save her from her torment.
"He wanted my bloodline for his own power."
Dave looked at her calmly and said softly.
"I'll get you out of here," he promised.
With precise movements, he dismantled the formation, breaking the chains that bound her.
The woman collapsed into his arms, too weak to stand. Dave carefully picked her up, feeling a surge of protective instinct.
"You're safe now," he assured her.
As he carried her out of the formation, Dave also collected the extracted bottle.
The woman looked at Dave's handsome face, and she wanted to gaze at him for longer, but her eyes closed on their own, and she fell asleep.
Dave waved his hands, and a bed appeared, allowing her to rest.
She was beautiful, and in the past, he might have taken advantage of her, but as he aged, he had learned to control his lust, and he didn't need to resort to such things anymore.
Dave already knew what kind of bloodline she had, and he didn't expect to find such a gem in this place.
Her name was Alisha Gerona, the daughter of Duke Olino, who surrendered to Xegron and led some humans to rebel against the demons.
He heard from Xegron that she was captured by the emperor to force the duke to serve him loyally and accept the power of demons.
She had been captured a year ago, and now he realized that it was not just to force the duke, but to extract her bloodline.
Her bloodline was extraordinary, and she was a main descendant of the Human Emperor.
The Human Emperor came from the Wu Human Clan, and that was the reason why they were waiting for his arrival.
But even though they were his descendants, no one had managed to inherit his pure bloodline. It was rumored before that the Human Emperor had a wife and a daughter, but no one knew who they were, and it seemed they were being hidden to protect them.
Now Dave had connected the dots and realized that Alisha might be a true descendant of the Human Emperor, given her possession of the bloodline of the ancient Human Emperor.
This Bloodline was the peak of human bloodlines, and he understood the reason why the Metal Emperor wanted to extract it.
