Encounter With A Spirit Beast Stage Magical Beast

Observing Kent's wry face, Davis understood what he was thinking and said, "If you're worried if she will face punishment, then you don't need to worry about that! If someone wants to punish her, then they have to go through me! Besides, if you're talking about cultivation talent, then it even compares to my father. So the matter of her receiving the resources is perfectly justified!"

The others couldn't help but nod, because her talent was unquestionably astonishing.

Everyone's attitude towards Ellia changed, but they still had a superiority complex which restrained them from communicating with her.

They were halfway to the ship which was docked in the south end of the Island, when suddenly,

A black light flashed from the distance as it shot towards Ellia in a blinding speed.

"Watch out!" Evelynn shouted in horror when she by happenstance noticed the flashing dark light.

When Ellia noticed it, she was already near the range of the dark light. Her reaction to the incoming danger was rather calm instead of panic.

Just when the dark black light was going to pierce through her, her hand was caught by Davis as he jumped out of the way with her.

The dark light flew past them and landed in a direction where there were many bushes and weeds.

"What is that!?" Kent and the others went on alert. None of them could sense the blinding light. If it weren't for Evelynn's timely warning, they thought that they could have lost their lives.

The bushes were shaking as if something were slithering through it.

Davis had already seen what the dark light looked like even though the others were only able to get a glimpse of the black light.

'A Mid-Level Spirit Beast Stage Magical Beast! No way, a magical beast such as this shouldn't be here!' Davis shouted in his head.

"Retreat!"

Davis gave a command instantly as he narrowed his eyes. When he used his Soul Sense to investigate the source of danger, he identified it as the Inverted Harmless Viper. An existence that was observed to have two personalities. A tame and a violent personality.

It was obedient to its master and violent to its enemies. Due to this exact nature, it was popular among the nobles of a certain Empire.

No matter how he thought, he couldn't find a reason for a magical beast such as this to exist on this island.

'If that is the case, then it must've belonged to that Tritor bastard. Heh, I didn't expect retaliation to come too soon.' Davis smiled as he thought. However, his smile was one of which reeked of coldness.

Ellia and the others who were frozen silly, hurriedly withdrew as they felt the pressure from the magical beast attacking them.

The Inverted Harmless Viper hissed and threw itself against a certain person.

"Ellia! Move out of the way!" Davis shouted in anger. He couldn't catch up to her as the viper was faster than him.

Ellia who heard that didn't look behind her as she frantically dodged, horizontally dashing from her position.

"Ahh!" Ellia shouted in pain! The Inverted Harmless Viper bit a piece of flesh from Ellia's calf as it whistled past her.

Davis took out his spear as his eyes shot wide while his heart went cold. "Berserk Change!"

Davis's silvery aura abruptly erupted to a pure blinding form, while the pureness of his aura, increased vastly to a tremendous volume. His spear glowed with a dazzling silvery aura as he imbued it with the Tyrant Aura Amplification.

"Die! You vile Viper!" Davis intercepted it while his speed increased from using the Berserk Change Technique.

The Berserk Change Technique was the ability of the Fourth Layer Technique of the Tyrant Body Secrets. It purely changes the aura of the body to a berserk state which increases the pureness and volume of the aura, resulting in an improved combat prowess for a short period of time.

*Slash* *Pierce*

He brandished his spear multiple times at the Inverted Harmless Viper to his anger and injured it to a great degree.

The Viper hissed in pain as it looked at Davis violently, its diamond-shaped eyes glowed, lustrous and violent at the same time.

It opened its mouth and spit venom from the long end of its tongue.

Davis dodged the incoming attack while it fell on the bushes and disintegrated them.

Davis noticed it, his eyes widened as he started to sweat.

Fortunately, the direction he dodged helped him get near the Inverted Harmless Viper. He swiftly pierced his spear into its head. Blood splashed and dripped on the ground as its body froze.

Davis deactivated his technique as he started gulping for air. Although Berserk Change Technique increases his combat prowess, it also puts some strain on his body as well.

Blood dropped pitter-patter on the ground, as a frail body held its arm in pain, while also trying to tolerate the pain without making any sound.

Davis immediately rushed to Ellia and hurriedly fed a Peak Level Earth Grade Pill, a Quick Rejuvenation Pill.

Ellia gulped and swallowed the pill in haste while wincing in pain.

A few moments passed before the part of flesh that was bitten, started healing in moments. Though the rate of recovery was visible, it was very slow.

Ellia looked a little disoriented as her eyes dropped due to the blood loss and experiencing a serious injury for the first time.

An injury to this degree dampened her ardour, making her feel like a frail girl.

"Thankfully, it didn't poison you, or else..." On a second thought, he realised that he possessed some antidotes as well but quickly denied it.

'I don't know if these antidotes will work on the poison from a Spirit Stage Beast.'

Davis used his soul sense to investigate his surroundings during the battle. He noticed that there were no monitoring bugs in the vicinity. He also noticed a strange bird in the sky, hunting down the monitoring bugs far away from him as it flew away.

He then became even more sure that it was Emperor Tritor who set them up.

Evelynn and the others quickly came back as they noticed the pressure from the beast disappear.

They noticed Davis treating Ellia with care as he comforted her. But they ignored it and looked at the corpse, with a spear pierced into its head.

They then looked at Davis, their eyes were full of respect and awe.
