Chapter 198

"Boss Vass, we've neared the tunnel . . . " A man muttered deeply with a heavy voice .

This man was called Kron, and he was a devout follower of Vass or at least that was how Vass saw it in his eyes .

Vass smiled and nodded . Naturally, his name was fake but no one other than his father knew about his disguise .

They approached the tunnel and went inside it .

"Boss, it looks like someone had already entered here, killing their way inside . . . "

A few seconds into the underground tunnel and they could tell that someone had been here .

"Look, this is the blood of the Five-Clawed Rats . Judging by the remnant aura and energy, the person must be a Silver Stage Body Cultivator!" Vass investigated the various bloodstains that was already dried .

As a Peak-Level Body Transformation cultivator, he could distinguish the battle aura left behind by Davis .

"Let's go!" Vass commanded as he ran and they quickly started to follow .

. . .

Lightning crackled while traveling to multiple directions, striking down the Five-Clawed Rats .

*Boom!*

Davis kicked a rat into the wall with his leg, then jumped on top of it as he stabbed the spear in his hand into its head, dealing death to its life .

He was surrounded by six Spirit Beast Stage Five-Clawed Rats, each one slightly paralyzed by the powers of the Fallen Extinction Lightning .

With his Energy Condensation Cultivation, he simply couldn't deal damage to the Spirit Beast Stage Five-Clawed Rats, only managing to slightly paralyze them for a few seconds .

Jumping off to the side, he hurriedly thrust another Five-Clawed Rat, causing it to give out a shrill scream before dying in its own pool of blood .

He quickly retrieved his spear, managing to block the claw attack of another Five-Clawed Rat that almost got his head .

His eyes suddenly narrowed as bent his body at an unbelievable angle .

*Slash!*

Blood splattered on the ground while a piece of flesh fell from his left arm . He nimbly backed off and stood his ground, keenly staring at the 5 Five-Clawed Rats .

'Hehe . . . I finally got injured . . . ' Davis slightly laughed and glanced at his clothes which were torn and bloodied in various places .

Many tears in his clothes were mostly made by the Sky Beast Stage Five-Clawed Rats but they were unable to injure him in the slightest due to him being at Silver Stage of Body Tempering Cultivation .

He was almost near the underground cave while his senses scoured all over and was gradually closing on it all this time .

By this time, he had already managed to kill many Sky Beast Stage Five-Clawed Rats and a few Spirit Beast Stage Five-Clawed Rats .

There were only these 5 left, except for a Peak-Level Spirit Beast Stage Five-Clawed Rat which was in the underground cave, seemingly posing to be their head .

He looked at their eyes, each one bloodshot to the extreme . He could understand that their eyes emitted killing intent against him .

His uniform was bloodied with their blood, and of course, they would feel hatred against him like any living creature for slaughtering their kind .

Davis frowned but curbed his sympathy inside from coming out .

Are all these rats free of wrong? No . They killed and ate countless town's people above, sowing the seed of demise that will come to them eventually, exterminating them in the process .

Davis wasn't going to stop, and even if he stopped, mercenaries above will eventually come down and kill them .

If they couldn't, then the army from the Empire will eventually arrive, albeit quite late with their slow advance .

'Absolute Enhancement!' Davis chanted in his mind .

His aura grew stronger a few notches while his physique slightly enlarged, veins gradually popping out .

He gripped the spear tightly causing his bones to emit sounds of cracking .

With his Low-Level Sky Grade Spear, he charged ahead, his feet clad in lightning as he activated the Thunder Cloud Movement Technique .

Closing in on them, he slashed their eyes one by one while nimbly maneuvering between their bodies which were at the size of a normal horse .

The Five-Clawed Rats emitted shrill cries but were silenced one by one in the narrow yet wide dark tunnel .

Davis relaxed and released a short breath after killing those Five-Clawed Rats . He then collected the Magical Cores and stored their corpses in his spatial ring while also managing to collect their Soul Essences .

A while ago, he discovered that he could absorb the soul essence of a Magical Beast when he casually tried out . He figured that it should be the ability he gained from entering Adult Soul Stage .

When he asked the Death Book about it, it gave off a sound of displeasure and explained that he would be able to absorb a Soul Essence of a living creature as long as it belongs in this universe .

Its answer put a smile on his face because it gave him more diverse options to get Soul Essences from, while he didn't have to target humans on purpose anymore .

In total, he had gained about 1473 Magical Beast Cores, 18 comprising from the Spirit Beast Stage Magical Beasts .

'The last remaining Five-Clawed Rat . ' Davis thought as he looked to the front .

It was the entrance to the underground cave .

Before going in, applied some medicinal paste to the wound to make it stop bleeding . After checking the injuries, he walked towards the wide entrance and jumped inside .

Gliding down in slowly, he surveyed the landscape .

To the south, there was a pool of dirty water that emitted a foul stench . To the north, there were many holes on the walls, probably leading to the wilderness and other parts of the space around the underground tunnel .

To the east, he saw the remaining Five-Clawed Rat glancing menacingly at him, yet it was aged and old .

Compared to the seven Spirit Beast Stage Five-Clawed Rats before, its bright eyes told him that it was more sentient .

"Do you understand me?" Davis asked out of curiosity .

The Horned Wyvern could understand him to a degree, so he thought that it might be able to understand human speech as well .

The Peak-Level Spirit Beast Stage Five-Clawed Rat kept staring at him as it couldn't understand him .

"Can you even hear?" Davis's eyes narrowed as he voiced out his thought .

This time, its eyes flashed as it nodded its head .

"So you do understand me? Huh . Why did you slaughter the town's people above?" Davis pointed above and asked, entirely curious of their rampage .
