Chapter 2001: Are You Not Afraid?
Davis and Nadia erged on the other side of the spatial vortex and witnessed Myria's back faced against them. They looked around, noticing that the space they had arrived in was on top of a mountain. However, what was peculiar was that the space here felt… heavy.
Though it intrinsically made him feel restricted, he knew such restrictions would disappear if he were to use his powerful soul force.
Davis looked above and saw that the ceiling of their world, the windy zone was just around a hundred kiloters away from him. Obviously, he was in an elevated position, but that wasn't what attracted his attention because when he glanced around, the surrounding space was full of cracks.
They were ever-present, regularly breaking and stitching as though they followed a separate law.
'A natural spatial formation…?'
It reminded Davis of the sealed space of lightning where he found the remnant soul of the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin. Those perpetual strands of lightning portrayed an apocalyptic scene, and this environnt was also similar, except space kept repeatedly torn apart and stitched back in the edges. Only the surrounding three hundred kiloter radius was free of such spatial tears, forming a sealed space.
Surveying the scene, Davis glanced down at the mountain and saw a platform.
'Ah, a spatial teleportation formation...'
Sensing the remnant spatial undulations from it, he was convinced that this was probably how Myria had her magical beast pets reach the New Era Battle Arena without anyone noticing despite the strict security in every Territory Gates surrounding the New Era Battle Arena. After all, no matter how strong one was, it was impossible to open a spatial channel from one Territory to another due to the interference of the Territory Gate and the enclosing dark fog.
The hegemonic powers possessed ancient teleportation formations, but even they could not cross Territories.
However, if it was a spatial formation that transcended the knowledge of this world, then it could be possible for a spatial teleportation formation to bypass the Territory Gate and the enclosing dark fog.
Davis felt that the only one who could probably do this was an immortal existence like Myria with a comprehension of vast knowledge, so he wasn't surprised.
"What's this place? I presu that we're still in the Twilight Physician Hall Territory?" He asked for more information, turning to look at her.
Myria had already turned around, sizing him up. However, she didn't say anything, waiting for him to survey the surroundings.
"Indeed. It's a pocket space that has collapsed, and the resulting laws within it poured out, unwittingly strengthening the space that even Ninth Stage Powerhouses above a level or two would find escaping from here extrely difficult that being thrown into the void is more of a certainty than a possibility. However, since you challenged , I presu you will be able to escape easily."
Davis raised his brows, not expecting to receive an answer. Nevertheless, he continued.
"So you hid your magical beasts here?"
"A good guess but not exactly." Myria lightly shook her head, "I called them here through the spatial teleportation formation below I built, and only the Obsidian Crystal Turtle that is capable of ripping space in this sealed space allowed them to exit and arrive at the New Era Battle Arena. Otherwise, they would be trapped here for an eternity, unable to leave. Even I would find it difficult to leave unless I used my true Soul Forging Cultivation."
"However, since I built the spatial teleportation formation, leaving isn't a problem. The only disadvantage for you is that it's connected to the Obsidian Crystal Turtle Palace Territory, where you may find yourself besieged by a plethora of turtles and other magical beasts if you enter."
Davis nodded. The feeling of danger over the edges where spatial cracks ran rampant was horrifying. Compared to this, the turtles were nothing. He also understood that Myria was giving him a path to retreat for so reason, maybe because of Ellia, or it may be an illusion, only to make him despair.
'This feeling…' However, Davis pursed his lips as he couldn't let that feeling go.
It almost felt like she was testing him?
Still, he couldn't help but chuckle as he looked above, his gaze piercing through the windy zone to look at the Calamity Light.
"The way you behaved, having a place to retreat to in case of discrepancies or ergencies, I assu it's not for the Four Great Righteous Sects since you completely look down on them, no?"
"It's rely one of many."
Myria didn't explain while Davis laughed.
"Your planning is completely thorough. I like it."
"Are you not afraid that I'll kill you here?"
Myria's brows raised, her voice intoned with amusent.
Davis paused a mont before he hesitatingly answered.
"Actually, I'm more afraid of accidentally killing you. Tell , if I kill you, will it kill Ellia?"
"It will," Myria perfunctorily nodded, "Or, you can find it out yourself since you're so confident of being able to kill ."
"That works too."
Davis took a step forward, his hands surging with death energy when Myria's expression changed.
"No! No one's killing each other, or I'll forcefully take over."
"…!?"
Davis was given a start as Myria yelled at him. However, it didn't take him a mont to understand that it was not Myria who shouted but Ellia.
On the other hand, Myria shuddered before her eyes beca calm once again.
"My apologies. Wait for a few seconds."
As Myria spoke, she closed her eyes, causing Davis to blink thrice in confusion.
However, in Myria's soul sea, she and Ellia were communicating.
"Ellia, please don't interfere as you had your chance. Besides, you know you can't overco ."
Myria helplessly uttered. What she was wary about was not Davis but Ellia's adamance and feelings interrupting her.
"I'll at least be able to disturb you, giving him the ti to escape."
Ellia harrumphed, causing Myria to sigh.
"Child, you really think I'm going to kill him if he isn't up to par?"
"…?"
"He has shown promise. To go against the heavens like that, I like it. After all, without having such a notion in his mind, he can't possibly protect you as he claims to."
"…" Ellia felt ward on hearing Myria's praise for Davis.
"Alright, stop making
uncomfortable."
"Yes." Ellia instantly controlled her emotions.
"However, if he could really escape from you, then I must say that he's more than worthy. The only thing to worry about is his master."
Myria nodded. At their level, they were worried little about the people in this world.
Looking at Myria open her eyes, Davis's lips curled.
"What did you two talk about? I'm curious."
"Defeat , and I'll tell you."
Davis chuckled, "Haha. Fine. If I defeat you, don't renege on your words of giving Ellia back."
"I won't. It's just a matter of ti before I find a way."
Davis's pupils shrunk at that sentence. He hesitated for a mont before asking.
"aning, you still haven't found a way to separate yourselves?"
"That would be the case."
Davis took a heavy breath on hearing Myria's nonchalant tone. It was really hard to believe soone whom he didn't know. If Ellia said that, he would at least consider believing it.
However, if it was truly as Myria said, it would be tricky. How could he separate Myria from Ellia?
Davis felt bitter at this notion. He deduced that the prospects of separating the two of them were bleak, so the only option left was to subdue Myria, which is unclear. After all, even if he could defeat her, she would probably be able to escape with her power, not to ntion so many hidden getaway locations like this place.
His only option was to kill, but she just said that killing her would also kill Ellia.
Nonetheless, he didn't say anything and nodded, taking her word for it for the mont.
"Nadia, stay back and watch. No matter what happens, never intervene. However, if her Ice Phoenix interferes, you can do as you please."
Davis sent a soul transmission to Nadia, causing her eyes to narrow, but even before she could nod, a lodious voice resounded.
"I can battle the both of you at the sa ti if you want." Myria's amused voice echoed.
"No need." Davis wasn't surprised at his soul transmission being intercepted, "Our battle is supposed to be a fair one."
"Fair? I don't think you battling against an existence like
is fair." Myria brushed her gently swaying, scintillating, white hair, "You're just a little boy in my eyes, so this much of a handicap is fair. No, it's still unfair. As long as you're near the spatial teleportation formation, I won't attack you."
"Thank you for your understanding, but I'll refrain from taking advantage of an old woman."
"Old woman?" Myria couldn't help but giggle, "True. In your perspective, perhaps I'm truly old."
'She didn't fall for it...'
Davis's expression held an ounce of disappointnt. However, his scalp turned numb, and without even contemplating what it was, he abruptly dodged to the side.
*Bang!~*
Swirling darkness encroached the position he was in midair, almost engulfing in its abyss as it slowly rotated, exuding a suction force that tried to pull him, but he managed to get away with his death energy enveloping him and cutting short the pull, his expression appearing shocked as he saw the glaring darkness.
"Darkness Laws!"
