The Story Never Ends

Chapter 161 - Task Completed

"But I'm sure the bird hasn't seen anything related to Olivia and me as it had been knocked out by the giant." While Davion was wondering, Jared was observing those memories carefully. He didn't want to miss out on any details.

The same goes for the other elders too. They were also keeping an eye on it.

"So, this is the giant made from rocks as mentioned by those disciples." He muttered as he saw the giant causing destruction on the screen. Those disciples he meant were definitely the ones who had used the talisman to escape from the Secret Realm much earlier.

"However, it doesn't look strong enough to have…" he hadn't even finished his sentence when the next turn of events immediately made him take back what he said. Indeed, it was due to the soul of the Giant as he felt his blood boiling even though he was looking at it from the screen.

"This.." his expression changed as a result. He knew that the power of this giant was quite terrifying. It was not something that these disciples could handle.

"Bang"

The screen abruptly turned black as the bird was smashed by the giant.

"Is this over?" He waited for a few more seconds. But seeing that nothing had happened, he was sure that the bird must have passed out.

"Damn, although I got some clues, I'm not sure whether it was the giant or not." He cursed and took back his hands. The screen also vanished along with it.

Then he gazed at the bird who was lying unconscious on the ground. It seemed like his spell to extract its memories had caused serious damage to it.

"Trash. You had only one task to do, and you even messed it up. Not only that, you have the guts to come out and face me," He scolded and kicked it with his right leg.

"BAM"

The bird was flung out from the Peak, and nobody knew where it might have landed. Nonetheless, one could see a trail of blood on the path.

"A mere beast." He had a savage look on his face.

"Ruthless" This was what the disciples had in their minds. As for the elders, they knew his character very well and didn't have much reaction. But they felt some pity for the bird. After all, it was a rare dual attributed demon beast.

So, they even had the thought of saving it. But, they refrained from doing so as they knew that it was gone for good due to the severe injuries. Maybe some rare treasures of heaven and earth could save it, but who would want to waste it on it?

Afterward, Jared coldly looked at the disciples and asked, "Did any of you notice Nora?"

The disciples lowered their heads and shook their heads. Leyla and Davion also did the same. Even though they knew about it completely, they just shut their mouths off. Who knew what Jared might do to them if they revealed it?

"Humph! I expected too much from them." He scoffed and was about to leave when he noticed something.

"Who is he?" He saw a strange child hiding behind a young man. Since he was thinking about Nora the whole time, he had missed this extra person over here. This was also what had happened to the other elders.

"I.." Davion panicked seeing everyone's eyes over him. He could feel the child's hand gripping his arms tightly.

"Although I was prepared for it, this old fart is making me nervous." Who would not behave like this after seeing how brutal this elder was?

"Ahem-" Davion cleared his throat and was about to answer him when Liliana suddenly spoke.

"Jared, you are scaring them. Why don't you leave and let us take care of this matter? I can feel your body worsening."

"You don't need to remind me. I know…" while speaking, he unexpectedly coughed out brown-colored blood.

"Pfft-"

"Shit" he wiped his mouth with his sleeves and said, "As you say."

Then he glanced at the child and Davion especially before he disappeared from their vision.

"Phew, he's gone." Davion sighed in relief.

"Your mother is quite dependable," He whispered to Leyla.

"Is that so?" Davion backed a few steps instantly when he heard that voice as he remembered a previous incident.

"Mom" Leyla called out as she saw her behind them.

"We are leaving," Liliana waved her hands and they were all taken into the air.

On the peak of the Inner Court Disciples Peak,

In the garden of a beautiful courtyard, Davion was standing on the ground with the child on his side. The child was curiously gazing at Liliana was infront of them. As for Leyla, she had gone inside for what purpose he didn't know.

"Father, why is grandmoth…" The child was about to ask when Davion straight away covered his mouth and smacked him on his head.

"Ouch!" The child covered his head and looked at him with anger.

Davion put his finger on his lips and signaled him to be quiet. Wouldn't he get beaten to death if she listened to it?

"Humm" The child nodded and didn't say anything more.

"Interesting." Liliana finally spoke.

"He called you father." She gazed at the child with interest and knew that it was not possible.

Davion gave an embarrassing smile and thought about explaining it. But an explosion was heard from inside.

"BOOM"

The door burst open and Leyla could be seen dashing out. Not only that, a roar was heard and a twin-headed dragon who was at least 20 meters long was chasing her. Indeed, it was Ryland.

Ryland opened his mouths and fired a beam of energy-containing strong ice and flame energy. In response, Leyla took out her whip and swung it in the direction of the energy.

"Bang"

Ryland's attack was neutralized, and Leyla stood in her place with a mocking look on her face. Thus, this made Ryland furious, and he was prepared to strike once again.

But a strong pressure befell on him which caused him to stop in his tracks. As he was used to this aura, he knew what to do. He transformed into his small form in the blink of an eye and glanced towards the garden.

There he saw Liliana as usual but with her, he saw Davion too this time. This made him feel very happy. After all, it has been quite a long time since he last saw him.

However, he didn't go there in a hurry but rather turned his back towards Leyla.

Seeing this, she became confused and didn't understand what he was trying to do. So, she just stood there as it is and she regretted it deeply because he produced a strange noise from his back.

"BRRRT"

A disgusting smell was permitted in the air, and she immediately had to cover her nose and back away. An ordinary human would surely pass away if they were here.

Ryland then glanced at her and revealed his two tongues. She realized that he was teasing her and her whole face became red from anger.

"You…" She wanted to release her anger upon him, but he had already flown towards the garden.

"Shameless just like that guy." She cracked her knuckles and wanted to slap both of them.

Davion had black lines on his face when he witnessed all this. He couldn't believe that Ryland had such a side to him. This made him so uncomfortable that he desired to run away from here.

Ryland landed on his shoulder and began licking his face. Yet, Davion unhappily said, "Ryland, don't disturb us here. Go play with him." He slapped his Red Head and passed him to the child.

"Father, this?" The child stroked his scales and questioned. However, Ryland tried to break free from him.

"He is your friend," Davion replied while casting a cold gaze at Ryland.

Ryland shuddered and didn't dare to disobey. He knew that he had done wrong.

"Really?" The child gave a sweet smile and ran off with Ryland.

"Haiz, a bit troublesome," Davion murmured.

"Who is he?" Liliana asked after they went away.

"Someone I found near the huge tree in the Secret Realm," He answered.

"Oh! Does it mean that you have completed the task?" She didn't care about the child and only had this thought in her mind.

"Yes." He nodded and took out a huge branch from his spirit ring.

"My God!" Leyla, who was approaching here, became shell-shocked when she saw this. The lighting energy contained here was too terrifying. She couldn't even recall where he had gotten this.

"Well done." She praised him and put it into her ring.

"So, what actually happened to Nora? I'm sure you have seen it." She didn't believe that the giant was the one who had killed her since her mount had been left alive by it.

"It started from…" Davion roughly described it, and Leyla would add a few words in his explanation frequently.
