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

The Twin-Shelled Earthen Tortoise is a King Rank Species Magical Beast Species with a high defensive capability!

*Roarr!~*

The tortoise suddenly released a painful scream, making Davis's earbuds tremble while he narrowed his eyes in annoyance, ”Don't scream, dammit.”

”Human! How dare you crack my noble shell!? I'll kill you!”

The tortoise opened its mouth, and the sand around the area congregated towards it, turning into an enormous five-kilometer-long siege that covered the entirety of the beach's wideness.

Davis smiled. They both had the advantage in terms of the environment since they were both using earth-attribute as their element to battle. Davis didn't bring an ounce of soul force into this fight as he wanted to see what kind of limits he would touch with his Body Tempering Cultivation alone. After all, he was unaware as to the exact gap between the Seventh Stage and the Eighth Stage.

Suppose if he could fight opponents four levels above him at his current level, was it enough to battle against a Low-Level Eighth Stage existence?

He didn't know, but he stood his ground in the air and waited for the attack to test exactly that!

Even though the pressure was high enough to make him anxious, he just stood like a crazy person, watching the opponent's attack form with deadly power. However, martial energy gathered in his hands as it ran through six different meridian points this time, creating a different technique.

He looked at the dark-brown earthen sphere that was now condensed to no more than three hundred meters before him with colossal might swirling inside it. It was freaking huge, ten times the size of the Twin-Shelled Earthen Tortoise! Its silhouette was nowhere to be seen as its own attack shadowed it. Nevertheless, the moment the earthen sphere moved, Davis knew that it was his cue.

He raised his hand, his hands filled with a tremendous might that shook the air before him. His palm glowed with a yellowish-golden glint before it separated and began to enlarge, growing and enlarging until the earthen sphere was so close that it was practically inches apart!

A hundred-meter tall glowing brownish-gold suddenly manifested between the earthen sphere and Davis.

*BRrrr!~*

The air between vibrated as both the techniques collided!

Just when it was going to seem as if the earthen sphere was going to be stopped, it trembled and exploded!

*Booooooooom!!!~~~*

A huge explosion echoed, waves of the blast picking up the sand before turning into a colossal sandstorm that blew to the sea and the mountain region. Underneath, many Twin-Shelled Earthen Tortoise silhouettes appeared, making it finally known that this sandy beach and the black mountain nearby were none other than their territory.

Sophie Alstreim appeared fine under Nadia's protection, but that couldn't be said the same about those Twin-Shelled Earthen tortoises that failed to escape the impact. Sand thousands of meters underneath were scraped off from the surface, revealing the carcasses of the Twin-Shelled Earthen Tortoises that seemed to be buried alive by its own brethren. However, the monstrous Twin-Shelled Earthen Tortoise seemed to remain indifferent to all of this as it just watched.

”No...” Sophie Alstreim uttered and knelt as if her legs went limp.

The whole place was filled with dust that she could see and sense nothing, but she at least knew that this attack would be able to injure a Mid-Level King Beast Stage Magical Beast!

How could Alchemist Davis survive such an attack!?

Tears fell from her eyes as she silently lowered her head, her face filled with utter despair.

'Why...? Why was Alchemist Davis so foolish...?'

She abruptly turned to look at the magical beast beside her and saw that she was calm-faced while still protecting her.

”!!!”

Rage dwelling within her suddenly flared up, ”You! You have no reason to be protecting me! Why didn't you protect your master instead!? You should've just let me die instead, you stupid wolf!”

Nadia turned to look at her, the coldness within her eyes fading, ”Master wouldn't die so easily... and I know it because our souls bind us.”

Sophie Alstreim's mouth went agape as her mind became blank.

'What was this stupid magical beast saying?' was the first thought that came to her mind.

However, as the dust slowly cleared, she caught the sight of a purple robe flailing in the wind at the site of the destructive explosion.

When her gaze fell, she instantly knew, a smile widely blossoming on her lips, ”Davis!”

However, her smile faded, replaced with a look of shock to intense regret.

Davis possessed a forced smile on his face amidst the dusty ruins. His lips twitched, and his body quivered as if trying to suppress something. He couldn't help but let out a sigh, one filled with a sense of delight and pain.

”Damn... where is my left arm?”

Davis looked towards his left and saw that his left arm was missing. Only his left shoulder remained with a bit of arm hanging out, blood splashing outwards like a fountain!
