Chapter 180 - Ryland Broke Through
Seeing his reaction, Davion shook his head. "Forget it. It looks like you can only bluff."
"You.." Vance became furious, and he really wanted to slap this kid to death. But he controlled his temper and suggested, "Kid, a demon beast will never be able to learn a human spell. So, it's useless."
"Ok! You can go then. I don't need anything else." Davion bowed and was about to leave when Vance immediately stopped him.
"Wait.."
"Yes?" Davion turned back.
Vance took out an old scroll from his spirit ring and passed it to him.
"This scroll contains the spell you are looking for. But don't spread it." Vance coldly said. If not for saving his face, he would not have given it to him.
"Thank you, elder." Davion was grateful.
"Humm, if it was someone else, they would have surely rejected you. Nonetheless, as an alchemist, I have many flame-attributed spells. So, giving you, one is not a problem." Vance boasted.
"What!! You are an alchemist?" Davion had his mouth wide open.
Vance smiled in agreement. He liked this feeling.
"Then I'm sure you have some Soul Qi Refining Pills." Davion hinted at something causing Vance to have a bad feeling.
Thus, Vance denied it. "No, I don't have it right now."
"Haiz, I wanted to trade it with a rare treasure," Davion sighed.
"What treasure?" Vance was curious.
Davion smirked and took out the branches of the tree he had cut in the Secret Realm. He hadn't given all of them to Liliana as he was saving them for future uses.
"How many?" Vance didn't hesitate to agree as he could refine precious pills with these branches.
"All you have," Davion boldly said.
"Are you kidding me?" Vance's eyes nearly popped out. How can one person intake so many Soul Qi refining pills? Isn't he worried about being exploded to death due to excessive energy? This was also the reason why they only gave few pills to the core disciples even if they had more.
"Is there a problem? I am not trying to consume them all at once. I know how powerful they are." Davion explained as he could understand what he was thinking.
"I hope so." Vance took out a bottle containing twenty pills and passed it to him.
"Kid, you have a very strong cultivation base at such a young age. But don't try to be hasty with your progress. Only a strong foundation can lead you to the Domain Realm," Vance reminded him.
"I understand." Davion bowed.
Vance didn't say anything more and disappeared from his vision.
"Phew, I finally got a fire attributed spell." Davion was satisfied. Due to the newly awakened bloodline and the tattoo, he had become very sensitive to fire. Thus, he was sure that he would get significant boosts when casting flame attributed spells.
"Now, I need to check whether my conjecture is correct or not." He put away the bottle inside his spirit ring and unfurled the scroll.
A few minutes later,
"Damn, that old man is really generous. He gave me a Domain Realm spell without even batting an eyelid." He couldn't believe it as he knew that the spells at this level are the foundation of a middle-grade sect. The elders would only pass it to their personal disciples.
"It seems like the old man thinks really highly of me. Not only that but saving the disciples must also be one of the reasons." He thought.
Then he jumped from the roof and landed infront of Joanna.
"Master." Joanne woke up from her cultivation and called him out as she felt his presence with the Demon Beast Connection Art.
"Get ready. We are leaving in a while," Davion ordered.
"Yes," Joanna nodded without even asking where they were going. Since she had decided to serve him, she would follow him where ever he would go without any hesitation even if it meant her death.
Next, Davion spread his Mind-Eye into the room where Ryland was staying.
"As I thought, he will be coming out now. It took a whole week," he muttered.
"Bang"
The door of the room was burst open and cold air was released from it. Ice formed on the floor which slowly began to spread at the speed visible to the naked eyes.
Seeing this, Davion was about to make a move when all of a sudden blast of heatwaves were emitted from the room.
"Fussh"
The ice was vapourised, and the vision was obstructed due to it. Nonetheless, this was not enough to cause Davion any problems. He could easily see a forty-meter-long twin-headed dragon walking out of the room.
"Davion"
Davion backed a few steps in shock as he heard two childish voices calling him out. One sounded calm and low pitched while the other sounded arrogant and a bit rough. Indeed, they were from the Blue Head and the Red Head of Ryland respectively.
"He has reached the Golden Core Stage. Not only that, it looks like he learned to speak." Davion had a smile on his face. Since Joanna couldn't speak when she was at the Golden Core Stage, he was worried about Ryland too. After all, there were different from usual demon beasts.
"Rylan.." Davion was about to say something when suddenly he sensed a movement in the air behind him.
"Swish"
He tilted his head, and he eventually saw what it was. It was a plain arrow carrying a considerable amount of power within it.
"Puchi-"
"Who?" The vapor was swept away, and Ryland flew high in the sky looking down in search of the culprit with anger. A small arrow could be seen stuck few centimeters in the neck of the Red Head.
"Damn, Danny. How could you fire your arrow here?" Davion shook his head and looked in the direction of Danny. He was currently hiding behind a tree while shaking in fear.
Ryland pulled out the arrow with his claw and threw it into the ground. Then the Red Head threw out a powerful roar.
"ROAR"
Shockwaves were produced from his roar which caused the surrounding trees and the courtyard to shake. Even Davion felt his blood boiling and the urge to kneel.
"My bloodline is reacting. It's weak as I thought. Wouldn't I have troubles in the future when facing enemies with powerful bloodlines?" He had various scenarios playing in his mind.
He then glanced at Joanna and became amazed by what he saw. She was releasing a little bit of her aura and protecting herself with it.
"Just a simple roar by a Golden Core Stage Dragon forced her to this state. It means that her blood might be even weaker than mine." Davion now had a better understanding of Ryland.
"Dragon born with the blood of two royal families.." He muttered while observing Ryland. His scales have become darker, and the horns have become longer. This made him look really terrifying.
"Found you" Due to the shacking of the trees, Ryland had already spotted Danny who was still holding the bow in his hand.
"Let me teach you a lesson." The Red Head opened his mouth and fired a beam of flames. The flames turned into a dragon and chased after Danny.
"Father! Help." Danny ran towards Davion with beads of sweat on his forehead. However, Ryland dived down and appeared infront of Danny in the blink of an eye.
"Father!" Danny cried out in fear.
"Bunch of kids." Davion came in between them and put his hands over their bodies.
"Swish…swish"
Both of them vanished and Davion was the only one standing there with a lamp in his hand.
"Haha." He laughed out loud.
"Master, where are they?" Joanna asked while approaching him. She couldn't believe that they would disappear like that.
"Inside." Davion lifted his lamp and peeked inside it. He could see the bewildered look on the faces of Ryland and Danny. They were even trying to find a way to escape from there.
"It's magical." Joanna had never seen anything like this in her life.
"Ok! We are leaving. Let's go west." Davion jumped on her back and she flew straight into the sky.
***
A couple of hours later,
"Drop me here," Davion ordered.
"As you say." Joanna descended and landed on the top of a mountain peak. One could only see a barren land, a couple of mountain peaks, and no human settlements from here.
"It's your turn now." Without waiting for her response, Davion touched her head, and she vanished into the lamp too.
"This is a good place." He muttered while caressing the lamp hanging on the belt of his robe. He could only hang it there as he couldn't put it inside the spirit ring. This is due to the lamp being a powerful higher-grade space artifact than the spirit ring.
"It lies outside the territory of all the middle-grade sects and thus this is the perfect place for me to open up the portal to the Demon Beast World."
