Escaped?

Davis was absolutely flabbergasted by this undergrown adult of a magical beast when he heard its cry.

Or... Did it grow too soon from consuming a lot of resources and was still a juvenile in terms of mentality and age?

He couldn't tell... but all he knew was that it needed to die.

Not only did it target Sophie Alstreim, but it also destroyed his left arm.

'Okay, who am I kidding? I just need its soul essence...'

Hehem... It was all three reasons.

In any case, noticing that only a battle of gaze and intimidation was brewing at the black mountain range, Davis concentrated his gaze on Sophie Alstreim and saw that a dark barrier protected her. He inwardly felt that he had to praise Nadia for this as he hadn't instructed her anything.

She was such an empathetic and understanding magical beast that she was beginning to understand how he did things.
