Chapter 117: Sorry, I Messed Up

Suddenly, undulations fluctuated around Ellia as the surrounding heaven and earth energy condensed into a semi-liquid form and entered through her pores over her fair yet pale skin. The energy all traveled in her meridian pathway, leading towards her dantian.

Davis narrowed his eyes, "She's condensing her core!? Why is she hastily cultivating? Even if she wanted to get back on me, she could have waited until I get the required resources…"

An eerie laugh echoed in his mind. He noticed the Death Book's voice but thought that it was just laughing at him.

'Isn't she forming her revolving core in the dantian too fast?' He instantly noticed the peculiar situation and shouted involuntarily, "Ellia, calm down and cultivate slowly!"

However, when he instantly realized that she couldn't hear him, he clenched his fists, "Tsk, she can't hear me! It's no use!"

After this, he felt that he could only pray to the heavens for her to not make a mistake and encounter cultivation deviation as a result.

A few seconds passed before the surrounding atmosphere turned tranquil as the heaven and earth energy silently dispersed as if its dense presence was never there in the first place.

Ellia's small figure sat in a cross-legged position. Her entire silhouette remained the same, pretty, and adorable, however, she fainty seemed different.

Abruptly, Davis felt a vague chill while looking at her! He subconsciously stepped back before he grit his teeth and went forward.

"Ellia, are you fine?" He reached out his hand and placed it on her shoulders.

Ellia's eyelids trembled. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at him, but a confused expression could be seen on her face. Suddenly, tears formed in her eyes as her expression changed, "Sorry, I messed up."

Davis abruptly felt his knees go weak! Alarm bells rang in his mind!

'Danger!'

"Sacred Soul Shield!"

*Boom!~*

The area collapsed as enormous waves of pure soul force exploded out from her body, painting the whole place with blinding light.

Rubbles, debris that was at least of Peak-Level Earth Grade quality flew all over the area as the place looked as if it was struck by a meteor.

The whole Royal Castle was still intact, but the place where the explosion occurred had a spherical chunk of it taken away!

Davis felt like he was going to die when he got hit with that pure soul force wave. His face contorted in pain while his barrier didn't even last a second before breaking into bits which made his soul force grow awry.

He felt a stinging pain in his glabella which made him shut his eyes as he grimaced.

When he finally opened his eyes, he felt that his head was swelling with the pain that stemmed from his soul. His clothes were absolutely tattered from the explosion.

Tilting his head to the side, he saw Ellia floating in the air with her mouth wide open as if she was suffering from excruciating pain. Formless soul force swelled around her as it entered into her body, creating a space of vacuum which isolated her screams.

"What is happening!?" Davis shouted atop his lungs but his voice was hoarse which made it unable to reach anyone's ears.

He could sense her soul force increasing rapidly like a flood that had been released by a dam. He couldn't make head or tails of the situation, including her status, but one thing he was sure of was to knock her unconscious before something untoward might happen to her.

Focusing on gathering every bit of energy in his body, he prepared to move while he planned to break through that space of vacuum.

"Piercing Sacred Lance! "

*Boom!~*

"Ellia!!!"

Piercing through the vacuum with his face contorted in a grimace, he headed towards her frail floating body as he frantically shouted!

Suddenly, the world inside his eyes came to a standstill as his neck was strangled by a frail hand. His eyes went wide at the present sight presented before him!

At this moment, his eyes registered a girl who had pale skin, black hair that was tinged with a few strands of white. Her eyebrows were pure white and her facial structure was the same as Ellia's, pretty and adorable.

She lifted him up as she looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze. Her snow-white eyes induced a bone-chilling coldness in his heart.

At the next moment, Davis swiftly realized that the person flying in front of him wasn't Ellia anymore!

"Who are you!?" Davis shouted, but his voice echoed hoarsely with his neck being strangled by her. He felt his power being restrained and realized that he was simply being suppressed by her soul pressure.

This made him unable to use soul force to a great degree!

"Me? You don't need to know that you lowly swine. All you need to know is that your fate ends here!" Replied the snow-white girl with an icy demeanor. Her cold eyes seemed to have the gaze of a person who wanted to kill.

Davis's eyes trembled as his face contorted in pain. He suddenly grinned with difficulty, "I w-want to see you dare kill me in the p-presence of my master!"

"Arrogance!" Her snow-white eyes glowed as the words left her mouth.

Her hand which held his neck suddenly grew bright and a wave of letters formed around her wrists.

Whoosh!

The swirling letters suddenly erupted and transformed into a beam of light that shot towards him. The beam of light entered his glabella and transformed into chains of light.

Davis suddenly felt as if he was submerged in the mud, and felt his mind going blank and dull. The next second he felt his conscious return and the feeling of being submerged in the mud disappeared!

"…"

The snow-white girl looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze for a while before some icy words escaped her mouth, "Consider yourself lucky for now. I'll return to kill you when I get my cultivation back!"

Her cold eyes suddenly turned cautious as she spread out her soul sense. Her eyes darted left and right if she were searching for someone.

Davis fell and started to have a coughing fit from having his neck released by her.

The snow-white girl opened her mouth and spoke in an indifferent tone, "Which expert is protecting this scumbag?"

Davis coughed heavily after being called a scumbag. He didn't know what he did to this existence to be called a scumbag… It was as if this existence held an enormous amount of hate for him.

But after all this, he couldn't help but get really angry with her actions. Initially, he kept his anger suppressed as he knew this unknown existence could be using Ellia's body to kill him, but he couldn't control himself anymore after being strangled and called a scumbag.

"Who are you? Scumbag!? What did I do to deserve being called like this?" Davis shouted as he continuously coughed.

The snow-white girl didn't seem to listen to his words but narrowed her eyes before continued in a cold tone, "Silence? Fine with me, I expect you to do the same when I return to kill this scumbag."
