Chapter 1163: Battle Against A Low-Level King Beast Stage Magical Beast (1/2)

Sophie Alstreim ultimately felt pressured from the clash of the eighth stage undulations, almost making her knees bend. She stabbed the Glaive on the sand, trying not to collapse as she gritted her teeth in difficulty. There was no way she could resist these two Peak-Level King Beast Stage Magical Beasts' pressure. Her bones cracked as her frame bent, making her feel like she was going to die for real this time if she didn't give up resisting.

Suddenly, the pressure disappeared, causing her to be taken aback, but she became aware that a dark barrier appeared around her.

Was it the work of the protector magical beast? She turned to look at Nadia beside her.

The monstrous tortoise became a bit apprehensive. Her bloodline memories naturally held information about King-Tier Magical Beasts, especially of its kind, but it also knew that other magical beast species also had similar existences.

She knew it could not underestimate this unknown magical beast and so didn't say anything anymore but turned to look at the young human and her twelfth son, simultaneously retracting her undulations while a mocking glint appeared in her blue eyes.

How could a mere human at the Seventh Stage compare to her descendant that was at the Eighth Stage?

Nadia also retracted her undulations as she turned to look at her master. In fact, she was curious about how her master could fare against a Low-Level King Beast Stage Magical Beast.

”Alchemist Davis, come back! It's suicide!” Sophie Alstreim screamed as she stood up. She ran forwards to stop him but was instantly held back by a heavy grasp that hooked her shoulder.

She flinched and looked behind.

”Master said that he wants to test his might. Don't be a hindrance...” Nadia coldly spoke as she let her go.

”You! Your Master is going to die! Don't play with his life just because he wants to test his might!” Sophie Alstreim panicked, not knowing what to do, so she could only plead.

The way she felt, Alchemist Davis, as a kind person, said that to make his protector Nadia protect her.

As she looked back, her expression changed. There was no stopping the battle now.

Davis arrived and looked at the colossal tortoise just ten meters towards his front.

”Die!” A male voice echoed from the thirty-meter tall tortoise.

It stomped its feet, and the sand below turned into a field full of spikes, ready to skewer him into full of holes.

Davis shot above as if he anticipated this move, his legs encased with black lightning.

'Thunder Cloud Movement Technique!'

Davis chanted in his mind as he shot to the side when the sand spikes missed him but then suddenly changed directions as they continued to follow him. The surrounding sand also compressed into spikes shooting at him.

Davis shot around the sandy field, flying like an energetic mosquito, dodging with accuracy.

The movement technique didn't increase his speed since his Essence Gathering Cultivation was lower than the speed his Body Tempering Cultivation granted him, but it was extremely useful for a quick burst that was needed to escape.

Davis kept continuously dodging when a big solid spike suddenly emerged from his back, but he crouched and shot towards another direction, moving away from the tortoise. The sand's hardness alone couldn't harm him, but the earth-attribute energy mixed in it made it extremely dangerous for him.

However, the tortoise didn't look amused. Looking at the human who looked as if he was having fun with a smile on his face, he snorted, ”Imbecile! Keep smiling until I skewer you apart!”

”Hahaha! Sure, I am waiting for that to happen.” Davis taunted.

Without a surprise, the thirty-meter tall tortoise fell prey to his taunt and jumped, its twenty-five-meter wide-body flying in the air towards him.

Davis wasn't startled. Just because it was a tortoise didn't mean it was slow. It just had a slow speed compared to other magical beasts, and that made it too suitable for him to battle as it just had a little advantage over him in terms of speed.

Davis directly shot above and dived in an arc at this moment. Since this big tortoise entered his range, how could he not take the chance to land a blow?

His elbows drew back while he dodged the sand spikes that tried to skewer him. He was just before its head, but like a snapping turtle, his huge mouth snapped at him, but he dodged as trails of lightning steps lingered in the air.

When he reappeared, he was directly above it, his body twisting to unleash a deadly blow as martial energy filled his fist!

”Earth Dragon's Overbearing Fist!”

*Clang!!!~*

The sound of metal clashing echoed!

Davis's devastating fist sent him plunging down while he shot upwards again from the impact. However, his eyes went wide when he saw that its dark black shell had just cracked like collapsing tiles, revealing a blue inner shell that seemed to have much more thickness and endurance.

He smiled as he confirmed, ”As expected of the Twin-Shelled Earthen Tortoise.”

It was a pleasant surprise, indeed.

What could be harder than a tortoise's shell in a magical beast species? Only a few other species could compare, but nevertheless, he had gotten a fitting one to test his current Body Tempering Cultivation's might.
