Chapter 1200: Waking Up On A Bed (1/2)

Ears pricked up as it could hear the sound of tidal waves crashing against the rocky shores. Eyes trembled as a person groggily opened their eyes, feeling extremely lethargic as if they had never felt this weak before.

'Ahh... it fucking hurts...' It was the first thought that came to this person's mind before hearing something else.

”Davis... You're awake...?”

Davis heard Sophie's voice echoing, but it felt so distant as if it came from afar. His hearing remained muffled while he felt extremely uncomfortable as he could even feel his soul throbbing in pain. The soul-splitting pain had disappeared, but a sharp pain shot through him every time his soul throbbed, making him feel like shit.

'So this is the price of killing so many powerful eighth stage magical beasts with Fallen Heaven... especially those two Peak-Level King Beast Stage Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apes which are directly a stage above me...'

He blinked, feeling his head aching before he looked around. The focus to his eyes came back, and the first thing he saw was Sophie's face filled with tears as she looked at him from above.

Well, it seems like she was using her lap as a pillow for his head. He felt delighted at that moment, but it was too bad that he could not feel her warmth as his whole body felt numb.

His sensitivity was returning one by one, or it was apt to say that nothing fatal happened to his body, but it was affected by his soul essence that was burned to power Fallen Heaven's deadly attack.

”How long... was I out?”

Sophie revealed a smile as she heard his voice, but the moisture in her eyes began to fall as she happily shed tears.

”You're fine...”

”Yeah... I will be more so in a few minutes, or perhaps hours...” Davis sat up as he turned to look at her, his brows imperceptibly twitching from the head pain.

From his previous case of fainting, he knew that the pain would disappear. However, since the damage was greater than the last time, he didn't know if it would disappear or not.

Sophie sniffled, ”You were fainted for about two hours...”

”Two hours... huh...” Davis's lips widened as he chuckled, ”That's more than enough time for any surviving enemies to kill me after I had fainted...”

”Fortunately, it looks like Nadia delivered me to this safe place...”

Davis looked around and saw that he was in a cave. The sound of waves splashing could be heard, so he mused that this was a cave between the shores and an elevated hill.

At the entrance, he saw Nadia's back. She was standing at the entrance of the cave in her human form, probably on the lookout for magical beasts.

”Did we leave the Purple Thunderflame Island...?”

Sophie nodded her head as she wiped her tears away, ”Mhmm... This is an islet, like the one we stayed in the past, and luckily, there's not a single eighth stage magical beast present here, at least according to Nadia...”

”I see...” Davis relaxed.

He trusted Nadia to protect them as she had always done as he went leaned back. He was not lying on the cave's rocky surface but on a wooden bed, above the comfy mattress, his head falling on Sophie's lap.

”I'll rest for a few minutes...” Davis still felt lethargic.

”Please do!” Sophie's expression was filled with worry.

Davis took her hand and placed it on his forehead, trying to feel her warmth so that he could feel some illusion of his pain fading. However, he couldn't even feel her softness, and that was a strange sensation in its own way.

”What happened...?” Sophie hesitantly and worriedly voiced out.

Davis became taken aback as he brought her hand to his lips, kissing her palm.

”Nadia didn't tell you?”

Sophie shook her head.

She still didn't know why Davis had fainted, and Nadia didn't say anything either, causing her to not know what exactly happened to him. She checked him with her soul sense but failed to find any injuries, not even in his soul.

How can she find his soul essence with her low understanding of the soul?

Hence, she could only wait to hear it from his mouth, and now that he was awake, she could no longer hold back and asked.

Davis chuckled as he felt pleased with Nadia. Likely, Nadia knew that his mysterious technique should remain a secret and so hadn't told Sophie what had happened. He felt like he must praise her for it.

”It's just I had burned my soul essence a bit to kill some magical beasts that caught wind of the Purple Star Flame...” He smiled as he kissed the back of her hand again, ”It's nothing to worry about...”
