Chapter 1162: Sandy Shore (2/2)

However, in those ten seconds, Sophie Alstreim made her decision and kissed him, misunderstanding that she would die in a few moments. She felt that there was no way to escape that sea of lightning, but here she was, standing on a sandy beach as if the entire episode was just a dream.

'AH!! What did I do!? What did I do!? What did I do!!!?'

She crouched and hid her face in her thighs, not able to handle this embarrassment or the reality of the situation she had placed herself in. The sensation of his lips still lingered on her lips, a feeling she felt that she would never be able to forget that.

”Eh?”

Sophie Alstreim felt her robe's collar be grabbed by a warm hand. She was suddenly pulled back, making her think that she was going to be thrown into the sea for overstepping her bounds. However, when she opened her eyes, rows of sharp teeth appeared in her view, causing her scalp to tingle as she let out a muffled scream!

”Eeeeee!!!”

A huge orifice shut down on her, almost ripping apart her legs into two.

She was dragged back a kilometer before her butt landed on the sandy beach. She turned to look at the person holding her and saw that he saved her life.

”Be careful. It seemed to have suddenly emerged from the ground without any warning.”

Davis looked at the head of a magical beast a kilometer away in front of him with a severe glint in his eyes.

It appeared to be a thirty-meter tall tortoise, its body emerging from the sand underground. The shell was particularly striking, appearing to be dyed black, similar to the black mountain range towards their right. It burrowed out as the sand above its shell fell on the surface. Its long-neck was stretched to ten meters, but it slowly retracted its head back as if returning back to its shell.

It stomped its four limbs on the sand, and its ten-meter long-tail burrowed out before it flailed and smashed the sand, invoking a sandstorm that lasted for about a few seconds.

Davis smiled as he witnessed its destructive power. He could only say, ”As expected of a King Beast Stage Magical Beast!”

Nadia, who was closer to it, was just about to attack, hostility visible in her eyes when another voice echoed.

”You have no business here, you magical beast with a human form...” The old voice of a woman echoed.

It caused Nadia to come to a stop for a brief moment of skepticism before she continued onwards.

”Nadia, stop!” Davis echoed.

Only then did Nadia's movement ceased, her head turning to look towards her master without a care for the Low-Level King Beast Stage Magical Beast that was behind her.

The thirty-meter tall black tortoise also seemed to be wary of Nadia, not willing to attack for some reason. However, it didn't seem to be afraid either.

”Let it be... I couldn't have asked for a better opponent to test my might...” Davis smiled as he walked forwards, his steps forming a trail on the sandy surface.

Excitement coursed through his body as he began to hover, slowly making his way to that thirty-meter tall black tortoise. However, his gaze fell on the even more enormous tortoise that stood on the black mountains; only its grey head and two blue eyes were visible.

The other parts had seemingly blent in with the pitch-black mountain. However, Davis mused that it was around thirty-five-meters tall.

It was a Peak-Level King Beast Stage Magical Beast! Alarm bells rang in his mind, but since the monstrous tortoise seemed to be cocky enough in front of him, he didn't mind sacrificing just a bit of his soul essence to take it down. Nevertheless, with Nadia here, he had nothing to fear.

Moreover, there were a lot of trump cards in his sleeves.

In any case, since the monstrous tortoise was spectating, he didn't mind battling its heir apparent, the tortoise in front of him that appeared to be an important descendant.

”I understand...” Nadia disappeared from where she stood and appeared beside Sophie Alstreim in an instant.

Sophie Alstreim instantly stood up, no longer looking to be out of it. She had returned to her battle posture, taking a Glaive out of her spatial ring, but no matter how she saw it, she was utterly useless in this battle.

She wasn't looking at Davis's opponent but the few other Lord Beast Stage Magical Beasts that surrounded her.

Nadia didn't bother about Sophie Alstreim, nor did she care about the newcomers but cast a look at the Peak-Level King Beast Stage Magical Beast, her eyes flashing with the intent to battle.

”Hmph!” That monstrous tortoise simply snorted, her nostrils flaring up while releasing a massive white cloud of steam.

Nadia narrowed her eyes, and the bunch of Lord Beast Stage around her became encased in darkness. They could only watch as they were encased. The next moment, the darkness disappeared, leaving behind a trail of corroded patches of flesh around their body and black shell. Moreover, their foreheads had holes, seemingly having each of their crystal cores destroyed by the strands of dark energy that simultaneously came out and dissipated.

”You dare!?” The monstrous tortoise's undulations flared like a tsunami as it bellowed, causing Nadia to release her terrific fluctuations in return. Even though their levels were wide apart, Nadia's undulations didn't even seem to bend a little when they clashed!

The monstrous tortoise became taken aback!

What was this magical beast? Despite being a Mid-Level King Beast Stage Magical Beast, she can match her prowess!?

Her large blue eyes narrowed in shock, ”A King-Tier Magical Beast!?”
