The Story Never Ends

Chapter 216 - Time To Return



White smog covered the whole area making it difficult for everyone to see what was happening inside. Even their divine sense couldn't bypass it due to the aura of heavens and earth being overly chaotic there.

Nonetheless, they didn't have to worry about missing the next series of actions as they witnessed a humongous red tiger made of flames appearing above the smog. It was a thousand feet tall and was radiating a powerful majestic pressure that didn't lose out to the royal bloodline.

"This.." Xavier became stupefied. Now, he began to realize why his father was after this person. Not only was his flame special, but his bloodline also carried some traces of royal bloodline.

Siena too had this thought. However, they were wrong about this because his Heavenly Body was the one truly responsible for this phenomenon.

In the air, Davion concentrated all of his strength into his sword and fiercely swung it towards Gunnar.

"Blood Saber Art: Final Move"

A terrific pillar of flame energy was released from it and along with it the phantom of the red tiger dived in that direction with terrific momentum as well.

"BOOM"

These flames crashed on the void and devastating shockwaves were released, destroying everything in the vicinity and clearing away the smog. Nevertheless, the vision was still not clear as flames were raging everywhere.

"How can it be?" Gunnar was in disbelief when he witnessed his void was struggling to suck in his flames. It was getting more unstable and seemed like it would break apart any minute.

"Let's see how long you can hold it." Davion ejected all his flames into the void without holding back.

A while later, Gunnar couldn't take it anymore. So, he yelled at him. "Stop!"

But it was too late. The void closed down while expelling the flames it had absorbed till now.

"BANG"

The earth shook as a thick column of blood-colored flames smashed straight to the ground.

***

"Is this the end?" Siena inquired.

"Seems to be the case. After all, I can't sense their auras." Xavier replied with a serious look on his face. He didn't know who won the duel.

"Let's go and check." Without waiting for his reply, she dashed to inspect the result. Seeing her leave, Xavier too followed behind and his guards curiously chased after them.

When they arrived, the first thing that appeared in their vision was a large pit at least two miles deep from where fiery smoke was billowing to the sky. Moreover, the ground was scorching hot with the temperature of the surroundings extremely high as well.

"So terrifying! The strength of the Flame Tiger Tribe is nothing to scoff at."

"Yeah, deserving to be the descendant of the King of Flames."

"Besides, I believe that the Golden Lion Tribe is also far from being comparable to them."

The guards discussed with each other in amazement. The battle they observed today was really an eye-opener. Who could have thought that there could be such a significant difference in strength even among peak Domain Realm Experts?

"Shut up! Go down and search for them." Xavier ordered in annoyance. He was furious listening to them praising Davion in this way.

"Yes, yes." They nodded and jumped down at once.

A couple of minutes later, the guards emerged while carrying two unconscious people on their backs with heavy expressions on their faces.

Next, they threw those two bodies on the ground and solemnly stood on the side by lowering their heads. This was because, among these bodies, one was completely unrecognizable while the other was a handsome young man wearing a fresh set of robes.

Indeed, this young man was Davion, meaning that the other one was undoubtedly Gunnar. Currently, most of his flesh has been charred, resulting in every single part of his skeleton being exposed in thin air. His state was way worse than Hector's.

"It's brutal." Xavier sighed and snapped his fingers.

A silver light flashed above Gunnar's body and it pierced into his chest.

"Puchi-"

A few drops of black blood dripped, and Gunnar stopped breathing.

Then Xavier hooked his finger and a soul popped out from the dead body. It was a white tiger that looked lifeless with half of its body burning with blood-colored flames.

"As I thought, this flame is not simple. It destroys everything including the soul too." He bit his thumb and blood spilled from it on the soul.

"Woosh!"

Once his blood came in contact with the soul, a blinding white light covered it like a cocoon, preventing anyone from knowing what was occurring inside. Afterward, he put the soul into his spirit ring and keenly observed Davion who was being examined by Siena at the moment.

"What happened to him? He looks to be perfectly fine." Xavier inquired in a cold tone. He was displeased by losing the bet.

Siena thought for a while before replying, "His bloodline is unstable and weak. It seems like he had burned it all in exchange for power."

"Is that so?" Xavier felt that something was amiss here. But he couldn't put his hands into it. This was due to the fact that Davion's breath was calm as water and not a single ounce of injury could be seen on him.

"Ok! Can we leave now? My Clan is waiting for me." Siena was getting impatient.

"You may. Nonetheless, I hope you won't forget your promise. I will at least give you one year's time to bring him back." Xavier had a grave look on his face. Although his father would be furious with this arrangement, there was nothing he could do when it was the Phoenix Clan who took him away.

"You don't need to worry." Siena lifted Davion and rushed towards the exit of the city.

Seeing them leave, one of the guards came near to Xavier and spoke with a hint of doubt, "Prince, is it good to let them go this easily? What if she breaks her promise?"

"I believe she won't. However, if she does, then we have no choice but to make a visit to Phoenix Island." Xavier answered confidently. Despite the Phoenix Island existing in a mysterious location, it didn't mean that their White Tiger Clan didn't know about their place.

After all, the Four Major Clans have always kept each other in check. So, they definitely knew detailed information about one another.

***

A couple of minutes later, Siena was already outside the city, running with Davion in her right hand.

Abruptly, she stopped, threw him, and scoffed, "How long are you going to act?"

Davion backflipped in the air and comfortably landed on the ground with a smile written all over his face. "Haha, I can't hide it from you, can I?"

"You are annoying. Can you tell me why?" She was curious.

"I thought that he would annoy me if he learned that I was unscathed during the whole battle." He explained.

"So cunning!" She shook her head and then threw one question after another.

"Now tell me who are you exactly? How can you manipulate ice elements? And last but not the least, why are you this strong? Even I won't be able to remain uninjured against that power of the void."

"You really want to know?" He imposingly approached her.

She nodded without backing away.

"I can trust you from now on I guess." He grabbed the upper part of his robe and ripped it apart, revealing his muscular body.

"You.." She immediately turned her head in the other direction in anger. If not for her veil, one could have noticed that she was blushing.

"What are you trying to do?" She yelled.

"Hehe, don't you want to leave this world?" Davion chuckled as he stood a few centimeters infront of her.

"You shameless guy. How can it be related?" She jumped away and retracted her gaze back to him.

"This…" The moment her eyes landed on his body she became shell-shocked with what she perceived.

"Are you impressed?" He flexed his muscles after seeing her reaction.

Nevertheless, she didn't respond to him and instead focused on his weird tattoo intently.

"How can you have a law body?" She finally spoke.

"Eh! How can I have that? Didn't you say that one has to reach the Saint Realm to form a law body?" He was puzzled.

"Indeed, that is the case. But the law rune on your body makes me confused." She replied by putting her right hand on her chin.

"Law Rune?" This was another new term to him. After meeting Siena, he had been learning such bigger things repeatedly.

Expecting this from him, she answered, "Law runes are the patterns formed on the body during the transformation into the saint. Or you could say that the law body contains many of these tattoos. Furthermore, each tattoo represents the power of law you have comprehended."

"Oh! I understand." Realizing the secrets of the tattoo, he felt a bit satisfied. This was what he wanted to know from the start.

"Tell me how you got it." She questioned him even further.

"Let's return first. I believe that the elders from the Golden Lion Tribe might be on their way here." There was a great possibility that they had sensed the death of their youngsters already.

Thus, Davion hurriedly injected all his spiritual energy into his tattoo, repeating the same process he carried out when coming to this world.
