Chapter 1189: Twelve Seconds (1/2)

Sophie saw him hover in the air with her wide purple eyes. She didn't miss one bit of it and could even tell how he had killed it as she noticed the moment blood came out the Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape.

'From inside the body, also its mouth... it would be weak indeed...' Her eyes gleamed as a deep smile became apparent on her face when she realized he actually instakilled a King Beast Stage Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape!

Even their Elders found it difficult to kill them with their hard and extremely durable defense, but her man instantly saw through them and waited for his opportunity to kill it in a single move. He had no experience dealing with these Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apes, but he managed to instakill their boss in a single move without a brief moment of hesitation as if he had planned it beforehand.

An overwhelming emotion enveloped her as she felt herself falling for him more. A strong man was attractive to many women in this world. She thought that she was different, but when he showcased it right in front of her eyes, in reality, it made her understand that it could make her fall for him even more in love.

She couldn't explain this inexplicable feeling. As for these Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apes, she felt no pity but experienced bliss as she had a personal bias against them for killing so many of their Alstreim Family's elites from time immemorial.

”Sneaky human!!!”

One of the Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apes finally came out of its reverie as it angrily jumped at him, its flaming fists swinging at him in full force.

Black lightning erupted from Davis's legs as he instantaneously dodged the attack using the Thunder Cloud Movement. By this time, the other Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apes came out of their reverie and made their move!

Davis easily dodged their flaming punches and kicks that appeared at different angles. He couldn't help but softly chuckle as he recalled what he did to make them so angry.

He simply used his karmic technique, Misdirection, to draw most of King Beast Stage Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape's attention to the Blazuk Ore. It wanted to fill its stomach with the Blazuk Ores at that moment, not giving much thought as to why it would suddenly feel greedy for it when Davis suddenly made his move.

He shot towards its mouth in his concealed state while using Dark Concealing Shroud Art and summoned the Grieving Emerald Scythe before he cleaved its head from the inside as he shot above from the surface of its tongue, managing to easily pierce through its flesh and skull, destroying its head from the inside.

The erupting earth-attributed martial energy he left along with the deadly slash in its head had eradicated even the few signs of life it was capable of showing with its vitality!

He knew that they were angered at him for not facing their boss in a frontal battle. Likely, they thought that he wouldn't be able to win with his cultivation base.

Davis grinned, wanting to prove them wrong, but he suddenly saw a Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape running away towards the inner region.

”Calling for reinforcements...? That's a rather cautious ape...”

Davis muttered in amusement before he shot towards it.

”Courting Death!”

The other Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apes all roared at the same moment as they all raised their hands, creating a bunch of flaming spheres that looked like it could raze an entire plot of green land into scorched land. They all threw it at him at the same moment, causing Davis to let out an annoyed harrumph.

”Earth Dragon's Overbearing Fist!”

*Boom!~*

The air reverberated, and the incoming brilliant flaming spheres were like candle flames that were snuffed out in a few moments of entering his range. The intensity of his Earth Dragon's Overbearing Fist further traveled to them as it lifted them up a bit from the ground, causing them to lose their balance as they rolled on the ground, their fifty-meter tall bodies causing waves and waves of a dirt-storm.

Some landed on the stream of lava, but they were unscathed by it. The Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apes were all shocked while Davis satisfactorily nodded his head.

'As I thought... These Peak-Level Lord Beast Stage existences are no longer a match for me unless they are at the King-Tier like Nadia...'

Davis turned around as his body flashed. He caught up to the escaping Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape in a few seconds and swung the scythe from behind.

*Clang!~*

His scythe sliced through its neck. However, it hit the crimson crystal, and halfway through it, it blocked his attack as the scythe came to a stop, the other half the crystal cracking as if it could no longer hold on.
