Chapter 1186 A Short Break

Davis looked at the Violet-Lightning Paralysis Beetle's unmoving body that crashed into the ground as he slowly approached it. He knew that it was not dead, but he wanted to know if its dying or not to unleash a death blow. However, he stopped at a safe distance as his eyes flashed red.

"Yup, it's going to die..."

Davis cautiously uttered before he pointed at it. He had no reservations that a new foe would suddenly appear to save it.

"Incandescent Cry of the Vermilion Bird!~"

His soul force directly entered its unguarded soul sea and wreaked havoc, causing both its soul and body to tremble for a moment before its body turned stiff. Its soul had directly collapsed, leaving him with its soul essence for the taking.

Davis checked his soul force and saw that he had spent forty-five percent of it. It wasn't bad, considering that he had been facing a magical beast at the next stage.

However, next time, he felt that he should efficiently finish them.

'It is so much easier to a.s.sa.s.sinate...' Davis inwardly cried as he collected the carca.s.s and its soul essence.

If it weren't for wanting to increase his battle experience, stabilizing his current foundation to an extreme level while building countermeasures for new techniques thrown at him, he wouldn't be doing this at all.

Davis then turned to look at Sophie in the distance. Looking at her agape mouth, he felt like laughing but just smiled. Taking a step forwards, he directly appeared in front of her in three seconds, causing her to be taken aback.

"Da-Davis!" Sophie had her palm on her mouth, "It hasn't been even two minutes yet..."

"Well, when one of the parties battling has an overwhelming advantage, the battle does end sooner..." Davis nodded his head casually, uttering these words as if were a matter of fact.

He was obviously mentioning himself, admittedly posing.

Davis didn't feel like acting humble at all.

When looking at her face that was filled with disbelief while her eyes were glowing with a kind of avid excitement and pride, he did get satisfaction out of her reaction. At the same time, he became excited, wanting to embrace as he wrapped his arms around her, deeply kissing her luscious rosy lips.

However, this was also why he didn't want to take his wives at first. It was fine if it were a journey to increase his cultivation with no urgency, but he felt a bit stifled since it was urgent, threatening to his life.

He felt like he could not waste time with Sophie but would his heart or lower body listen? He felt conflicted with his emotional heart telling him that he should look after her while training, his logical mind stating that he should leave her at a safe place and continue to train, and his h.o.r.n.y lower body wanting to instantly get a room, thinking three different things at the same time.

Davis sadly closed his eyes and renewed his will.

"Let's go..."

He grasped her hand and continued to travel as he chose to listen to his heart.

Sophie lowered her head as she seemed to be thinking something else. No matter how ignorant she was, she did at least know how to weigh the strength of a technique or a normal attack!

Then the question comes... wasn't those soul techniques prowess somewhere between the Peak-Level of Seventh Stage to Eighth Stage?

She couldn't see or sense the Incandescent Cry of the Vermilion as it was truly formless. However, she was indeed able to see the soul techniques such as the Vermilion Bird's Talon Shackles, Formless Incandescence Feather s.h.i.+eld, and Blazing Incandescent Plume Sea, all of which was enough to easily exterminate or defend an attack from a Peak-Level Lord Beast Stage Magical Beast!

How could she not be visibly be taken aback, finding herself still reeling with disbelief!?

Did this not mean what she thought it was?

But then, if it was...

"Are you scared?"

Sophie raised her head and looked at him, his sapphire eyes seemingly appearing to look into her very soul. She turned her head away, looking straight ahead.

"A bit..."

She closed her eyes in regret as she wanted to say that she was not when she suddenly heard a burst of laughter.

"Hahaha..." Davis lightly laughed at her answer.

He understood that he was breaking his image she formed in her mind time and time again. At first, he was nothing more than a lightning-attributed talented subordinate and an alchemist. Next, he was even more of a monster in Body Tempering Cultivation, and now, it became apparent that his Soul Forging Cultivation was even more terrific than his Body Tempering Cultivation.

If Sophie did not find herself shocked by these twists, he would find it suspicious instead.

"Don't worry. You'll get used to it..." Davis tightly held her hands as he relayed his intent.

"Hehe..." Sophie giggled, "I think I will never get used to this..."

"We'll see..." Davis smiled as he looked towards the front.

As they traveled, the atmosphere around them became silent. Davis encountered a few more Peak-Level Lord Beast Stage Magical Beasts, and as expected, he took them down within half a minute, all seven of them.

These magical beasts were from the same clan, seemingly searching for something, but Davis chose to be on his way to the destination with Sophie. However, he stopped halfway and brought out the wooden house.

"Nadia, come out. We'll be dining shortly..."

"Dining!?"

With a gluttonous echo, Nadia seemingly appeared from the void as darkness swirled around her.

Davis smiled as he looked at the excited expression on her face. He couldn't help but want to truly pat her head as she appeared extremely adorable. Unable to hold himself back, he reached out and placed his hand on her head as he rubbed her silky hair.

"Haha... Indeed, we're gonna eat a feast..."

He slowly turned to look at the astonished Sophie, "And the one who is going to make our food is none other than Sophie!"

"Me!?" Sophie pointed at herself, blinking in surprise.

"You don't know how to cook?" Davis blinked.

"Of course I know..." Sophie appeared to be excited, "Let me use this chance to showcase my skills and bring satisfaction to you all...!"

She instantly ran towards the door at the extreme end but was instantly caught by the wrist.

"Are you sure that your Peak-Level Law Manifestation Stage flames are capable of cooking the Peak-Level Lord Beast Stage Beasts we hunted just now?"

Sophie's excited expression faded, swiftly replaced with a bit of embarra.s.sment. She became aware that she was rather hasty.

"Nadia... wait for a while..." Davis uttered softly to Nadia, "Sophie can't cook those Seventh Stage Magical Beasts as her flames aren't powerful enough. I'll help her cook for you exceptionally to your liking, okay...?"

Nadia's golden eyes glistened as she felt something welling up within her. However, she just lightly nodded her head, pursing her lips, appearing as if she was extremely moved.

"Good girl..." Davis caressed her silky black hair before moving along with Sophie to the kitchen.

Nadia's lips slightly became agape, seeming to want to say something but simply held back, her gaze becoming complex as she fell into contemplation.

Once Davis and Sophie entered the kitchen, they began their work. Of course, they had become h.o.r.n.y at a few incidents while preparing the ingredients, sharing deep kisses as they prepared.

"If I recall correctly, what you used to at that time to call the lightning from above, was it that fabled Spirit Formations that is said to be capable of being unleashed by Mature Soul Stage Experts or above?"

Sophie asked as she returned to cooking, her lips coated with a layer of his glistening saliva. She now appeared to be extremely at ease, simply sharing her love and mind with Davis.

Davis licked his lips as he looked at Sophie reach out her hands to conjure flames while there was a huge stack of meat under the huge vessel.

"Yes..." Davis smirked, " The one you saw with your own eyes was called Spirit Formation: Lightning Rain. It has the ability to attract a barrage of lightning from the storm clouds above."

"How does it work?" Sophie's eyes gleamed with a bit of excitement on learning new information.

"To put it in simpler words, using my body as the base and the heaven and earth energy to my advantage, I use my soul force to draw an inscription on the canvas, which is the s.p.a.ce to attract the forces of heaven and earth energy to aid me. It's that simple but difficult to achieve unless you're at the Mature Soul Stage the very least..."

"You see, the condition to attract a barrage of lightning bolts had been met at that time, so I was able to call them with the help of the heaven and earth energy... I only spent a single percent of my soul force to draw that Spirit Formation symbol over its head when I cracked its forehead's carapace..."

Davis explained as he supported her flame energy with his own soul force, increasing its intensity as it cooked the meat inside the vessel.

"That is simply... marvelous...." Sophie blinked, taken aback by what he said. She found Spirit Formations intriguing as she had only heard about it before and never had seen one, not even one in the Alstreim Family.

"But the way you said it. You meant to say that I missed another Spirit Formation you used?"

"Hehe..." Davis grinned, "You're correct. The other Spirit Formation I used is called..."
