The Story Never Ends

Chapter 218 - Another Law Rune

"Unlike my sword intent, this feels like a heavy, sharp, and destructive sword is weighing down on top of me." Siena was astonished. Moreover, she felt that if she tried to move even an inch, a powerful sword would come crashing down on her.

Although everyone comprehended different types of sword intents, the one coming out from Davion was extraordinary. It might be even better than her sword intent which felt hot and like thousands of sharp swords poking from all directions.

"But what is happening here?" She couldn't understand a thing. How can such a powerful sword intent be released from someone who was utterly clueless in swords a while ago? And besides, why was he injured in the first place?

While she was in confusion, the white beams of light shooting from Davion steadily diminished, and an overbearing aura was unleashed from him.

"BOOM"

Siena was hurled away as a result and she cursed, "Damn, this is already the second time."

"Anyways, why is his aura stronger than before? Did he really have a breakthrough?" With the combination of sword intent, his aura had become extremely tyrannical. It was so powerful that she had to mobilize her fairy artifact just to stay near him.

Nonetheless, her astonishment didn't end here as the blood flowing out from him stopped automatically and new cells, tissues started generating from inside the hole, swiftly recovering his heart and chest as well.

"Whoosh!"

In a couple of seconds, a perfect giant body with not a single scratch appeared infront of her eyes. Not only that, but the body of the giant increased by a thousand feet.

"My God! How…can…it…be?" She stuttered in disbelief.

Next, Davion came back to his senses and calmly observed the surroundings.

"Did I not die?" He muttered in exhaustion. After all, what he experienced was too terrifying as he had lost his consciousness. He then eyed his panel and realized how he had managed to survive.

"It looks like I barely held on due to leveling up at the last second." Indeed, he had leveled up to 43 and thus returned to his peak state in the blink of an eye.

"What good luck!" He sighed and focused on the current situation.

"BAM"

He dashed out from the peak and stood in the air with a serious look on his face.

"Withdraw."

His aura was taken back instantly, and the same went for his sword intent. However, something strange occurred when the sword intent was taken back.

A bright white light shone on the left part of his chest and a new law rune was branded on it. The rune consisted of various signs and symbols that he still couldn't understand.

The only thing he recognized was the tiny sword figure near the center of his chest. Nevertheless, this tattoo didn't expand to his other arm like the previous rune that had covered his whole right arm.

This signified that this new law rune was weaker than the flame law rune. But he was still satisfied with it as he knew that he could explode with destructive power if he used it when it finished recharging.

Yes, similar to the rune of the flame law, it was gathering the spiritual energy from the heavens and earth and was gleaming brightly.

"Hehe, it seems like I have another hidden move in my arsenal." He smirked and returned to his human form. Afterward, he changed into a new set of robes and emerged before Siena.

"Little girl, why do you have your mouth wide open? Didn't you see enough?" He teased her.

"Shut up! You scared me. Just tell me what you did. How can you randomly possess the sword law rune?" She crossed her arms and inquired.

"Humph! Make sure you tell me the truth this time. You know that you owe me one." She was referring to the time when she helped him from the White Tiger Clan.

"I devoured the Saint Crystal." He had a fearful expression when talking about it as this was the incident he never wanted to experience ever again.

"Now I will think thrice prior to consuming anything." He made a promise to himself.

"What! You fool. How can you even think of that? You should have died." She nearly spat out a mouthful of blood in anger.

"Haha, how can a genius born with a holy physique pass away this easily?" He boasted.

"Holy Physique?" Of course, she knew what it was. But only humans were born with them. As for demons, they possessed royal bloodlines that were comparable to them.

Understanding her confusion, he replied with a warm smile on his face. "I am in fact a human born with a legendary holy physique. As for the Flame Tiger Bloodline, I inherited it from one of the descendants of the King of Flames."

"Is that so?" She mulled over what he said, and it seemed to make sense. Even though she was a bit suspicious, his acts definitely resembled a human.

From what she had heard from her clan, humans were shrewd and greedy creatures and Davion perfectly fitted this category. Not only did he plunder spirit veins and alchemy pills, but he even cleverly hid his identity to create troubles in the Demon Beast World.

On top of that, he could manipulate multiple elements which were impossible for anyone from the Demon Beast World. Hence, she chose to believe him.

She then asked warily, "What is the purpose of bringing me here? Are you planning on something evil once again?"

She had been taught to never trust a human. She believed all other demons had the same thought as well.

"Haiz, why do you think that? Do I look like a villain to you?" He didn't know whether he should laugh or cry.

"Humph! I have nothing to say to you. I'm leaving. By the way, thanks for bringing me here." She was about to go when he immediately stopped her.

"Wait. You shouldn't leave alone when you have no knowledge of this place. This world is not as simple as you think." He reminded her with some goodwill.

Even though she was arrogant and had a tough personality, she was soft from the inside. After all, she didn't leave him alone during the wild battle with the Golden Lion Tribe and the White Tiger Clan.

Maybe one could think that it was due to her wanting to escape from that world. But he knew that it was not completely the case as she even attempted to heal him when he was knocked out cold by the weird sword earlier. Yes, just before he woke up, he had indeed felt her flames coursing through his body.

"Why do you say so?" Despite not trusting him wholeheartedly, she realized she had zero understanding of this place. So, she wanted to know more.

"Currently, the Heavenly Demon Sect is wreaking havoc on our lands. They are attacking all the four mainlands at the same time. Moreover, I heard that the four major sects as powerful as your four big clans are also being kept in check by them." He answered with a solemn look on his face.

"How can that be?" She couldn't believe that the whole world was being targeted by the Heavenly Demon Sect. In spite of knowing that they were powerful and dangerous, she had never in her wildest dream imagined that they could be this terrifying.

Didn't this mean that if they focused and went all out on any one of the four big sects then they would undoubtedly get destroyed? This included her Phoenix Clan as well.

"That's why I suggest not to roam this place so carelessly as you did in your world. Who knows they might sense you are a phoenix and capture you?" He shook his head.

"Maybe they would use you as a mount. Or seeing your beauty, they might even…hehe.." He chuckled evilly, scaring her even more.

"Rogue!" She could guess his perverted thoughts. Anyways, she didn't disagree with him as everything he said was true. Hence, she regained her composure and said, "So, what do you propose?"

"Did you forget about the bet we made? Why don't you stay with me until I break through to the Venerable Stage?" He wanted to keep her by his side until he got her flame. Who knew if she would shamelessly run away in the future?

"You look really confident, don't you?" Although he had the law runes already, reaching the Venerable Stage was still difficult. She felt that he was being extremely cocky.

"Is the princess of the legendary Phoenix Clan trying to take it back?" He riled her up.

"Fine. But don't regret it. I will give you a year's time. If you can't break through, then you have to pay a visit to the White Tiger Clan." She didn't go easy on him.

"Deal." Davion agreed without any hesitation.

"Then what will we do from now on? Are we returning to your sect?" She was sure that someone as talented as him belonged to a sect. Especially, one of the four major sects. Furthermore, she believed that they would be safer in their care.

However, his reply nearly choked her to death.
