Half a day passed after Davis's main body started cultivating when Sophie Alstreim went back to her room to recover her energy, and the Solitary Soul Avatar left towards the Passion Library under the guidance of an outer disciple.
Hundred Devil Thunder Archipelago, Alstreim Thunder Island, in the solitary wooden house situated in a grass field.
Davis's eyes shot open, knowing that someone, specifically, Sophie Alstreim stood outside his room. The ashes of the Mid-Level Spirit Stones disappeared with a wave of his hands as he stood up, making his way to the door before it opened up through the intervention of his soul force.
Sophie Alstreim did not appear to be taken aback. She instead nodded her head, "I have recovered."
"Great, let's move out." Davis nodded and walked past her.
Sophie Alstreim stood rooted as she subconsciously breathed his scent while he walked past her. She then moved and followed him out along with Nadia, who just stretched her body as if she had a good sleep.
There was no hesitation at all. After all, it was decided that they would move out once Sophie Alstreim had recovered back to health.
Once they all came out, Davis flicked his sleeve, and the wooden house disappeared into his spatial ring, leaving a trail of few dozen legs that carried the house on the slightly wet soil.
Drizzle fell on them, but they were covered in their energy, not being bothered about it.
They headed north as they flew before Davis spoke in a short while.
"Which island are we heading to?"
Sophie Alstreim hesitated for a moment before she asked, "Is there any specific Island Alchemist Davis wants to go?"
"The Dark Thunder Island..." Davis answered without hesitation.
The Lightning Elemental, Derelict Extinction Lightning was captured in the Dark Thunder Island, meaning that there should be natural and powerful bursts of extinction lightning present within that particular island. Considering that he needed to improve his law comprehension before he breaks through to Law Dominion Stage, going to that place was his best shot.
"Oh... My grandfather last went there to capture a Lightning Elemental called Derelict Extinction Lightning. I know the specifi- wait! Did Alchemist Davis absorb it?" Sophie Alstreim blinked in astonishment.
She knew the Derelict Extinction Lightning was given to the Dragon Queen and also knew about the fact that the Dragon Queen treated her subordinates well. If she even gave a bit of thought about it, it could actually be possible, is what she felt.
"Yes, I have literally digested the Derelict Extinction Lightning..."
Davis made a face that said he found it extremely delicious as he patted his stomach.
Sophie Alstreim rolled her eyes, "Alchemist Davis isn't a magical beast..."
Still, she inwardly found it mind-boggling. It was impossible to absorb King Grade Lightning Elementals at Alchemist Davis's stage without external help, but since the Dragon Queen's Protector was present, she didn't doubt much.
"What about you? Where do you want to go the most? You are also here for forging materials, right?" Davis asked with interest.
Sophie Alstreim nodded her head. Indeed, she had a clear destination but was taken out by those damned armadillos. She suppressed her anger and answered.
"Purple Thunderflame Mountain..."
Davis's eyes widened as he recalled, "Isn't Purple Thunderflame Mountain, the place where the Purple Yang Star Lightning was obtained?"
"Purple Yang Star Lightning...?" Sophie Alstreim seemed to possess a face that said that she had no idea.
Davis felt that it made sense that she didn't know since it had nothing to do with her grandfather, but he still asked, "What about the Purple Star Flame, or the Purple Yin Star Flame? Do you know its origins?"
"Ah, you're talking about the Flame Essence that had recently mutated from Purple Star Flame to the Purple Yin Star Flame, its name inscribed in a vague record. I recall that Young Mistress Nora Alstreim has absorbed it... but yes, that Flame Essence is from the Purple Thunderflame Mountain! It's the same destination I mentioned."
"The Purple Thunderflame Mountain is rich in forging materials because of the high temperature generated by the plethora of volcanoes. It constantly melts the unique ores but gets purified by the burst of lightning that falls on the ground from the skies above, making it almost a perfect cycle of refinement."
"I see..." Davis's eyes brightened.
Perhaps he could obtain something of importance in that resourceful place as well, not to mention that if he could obtain a lot of yin materials, it would be advantageous to him as he could gift it to Natalya.
He recalled from the general map that the Purple Thunderflame Island was tens of islands away towards the northeast, and above it, several islands away, was where the Dark Thunder Island was situated.
Soon, they stepped into another magical beast territory, but since they seemed to recognize Sophie Alstreim, they didn't go attack her of their own volition. Instead, they just watched them pass by with a bit of hostility.
It was clear that they were bullied a lot by the Alstreim Family.
An hour later, they reached the northern end of the island, where the coastal sea came into view. Numerous magical sea-beasts of different species appeared to be chilling out here, but once they saw the two humans approaching them, their eyes lit up and shot towards them.
"What? Are these not included in your tribute list?" Davis chuckled as he took out his Scythe.
"Nope..." Sophie Alstreim smiled as a blazing crimson flame erupted from her body. A long pole appeared in her grasp, its end fixed with a curved blade.
'A Glaive...?' Davis didn't think that she would use a long two-meter tall glaive, but considering that she has tried her hands on forging a variety of weapons, he understood, but why was it completely emerald, just like his Grieving Emerald Scythe, seemingly made out of Emerald Indic Ore?
Sophie Alstreim noticed his glance and smiled, "A triplet, isn't it nice?"
"Yeah..." Davis blinked as his voice trailed.
She was obviously denoting the Grieving Emerald Scythe, Evelynn's Grieving Emerald Dagger, and her emerald Glaive when she meant triplet.
However, her intent couldn't be any more obvious.
Davis ignored and launched a frontal attack as his essence energy soared towards the Scythe. To these impertinent magical sea-beasts that drooled on recognizing them like they were some delicious meat, jolting them to death was the best course of action.
*Brrrr!~*
The air intensely vibrated!
Without any hesitation, Davis swung his Grieving Emerald Scythe that was clad with black lightning, launching a sharp black lightning wave that cut a magical sea-beast into two wholes before it got electrocuted!
It looked like half-lion and half-seal, but its smooth scales became charred and its organs fried as Davis's extinction lightning wreaked havoc from the severed part of its body, resulting in a quick death.
Sophie Alstreim also swung her Glaive, launching a flaming tidal wave that quickly caught dozens of magical beasts in her range of attack, burning them to death in an instant!
Davis became rather impressed. It was as if she swung the Glaive with absolute familiarity, churning her essence energy over it before she unleashed her crimson flames, meaning that her main weapon was truly a Glaive. She didn't seem to have taken it out to match his Scythe's range, but it seems as if she liked to use a Glaive from the bottom of her heart.
"They are in for a world of shock!"
Davis laughed as essence energy surged out of his body like a tsunami. The strands of energy shook and turned into black lightning sparks before those shot towards the hundreds of magical sea-beasts!
Even though they were mostly Saint Beast Stage Magical Sea-Beasts, with even tens of Peak-Level Sixth Stage ones, the moment the volley of black lightning bolts descended on them like a shower of tiny meteors, they were electrocuted, their scales becoming charred before they were fried to death!
Only the scent of charred yet fragrant meat spread, moving along with the coastal breeze.
"!!!"
It would've been a disaster if the coastal living magical sea-beasts get a whiff of it, but the surviving magical sea-beasts were completely shocked and finally came to their senses! As if now only realizing their lives were in danger, they fled as if their life depended on it!
Davis didn't give chase, or neither did he bother to absorb the soul essences around him. He had killed around a hundred Sixth Magical Sea-Beasts, and with a wave of his hand, he was about to collect the carcasses of the magical sea-beasts when Sophie Alstreim interrupted.
"Let me..."
She then went around collecting the charred carcasses like a subordinate before coming back in a minute, throwing out the carcasses with a wave of her hand.
"Thank you..." Davis smiled before he stored the carcasses.
Moving around wouldn't have cost him much other than time, but Sophie Alstreim seemed to want to respect the status they both possess, perhaps, having another agenda as well.
However, Davis didn't bother with it. He already knew that she liked him, and she knew that he knew as well. He had stopped using his Heart Intent on her after they met at the Purple Guest Palace. Knowing her feelings further wouldn't serve to do anything other than make him feel bad for her.
They moved further towards the sea when suddenly a ten-meter big wide mouth shot from the shallow part of the sea, threatening to bite them in a single gulp with its thousand sets of razor-sharp teeth. Its scales made it completely blend in with the environment of the water and the coastal waves.
Sophie Alstreim's eyes wide completely wide that her body went stiff from fear! Nevertheless, she still took out her Glaive, her body trembling in retaliation to move Davis out of the way when she froze mid-way.
The magical sea-beast's speed was so fast that even Davis was given a start! Nonetheless, he was just startled, and that's all. He knew danger was going to befall him with his abnormal senses, so he had already lifted up his hand as martial energy surged within his shoulders before flowing towards his five fingers in a raging manner.
He felt that even this Peak-Level Lord Beast Stage would be sent back flying along with a grave life-threatening injury with the blow he was going to unleash!
However...
*Boom!!!~~*
A person suddenly appeared above the huge mouth, knocking the mouth shut within a flash of a second with its leg hook. Then, that figure smoothly landed on that crocodile-looking magical sea-beast's head and swung its hand as it pointed at its head, a dark sphere piercing through the magical sea-beast's head before the sound of a crystal shattering could be heard.
A Peak-Level Lord Beast Stage Magical Sea-Beast was killed just like that! A clean kill!
"This will serve as my snack..." Nadia claimed as she waved her hand, the carcass disappearing into her spatial ring.
Davis simultaneously neutralized his attack and took its soul essence while laughing at her actions, "Nadia, you greedy wolf..."
"Ha... Hahaha..." Sophie Alstreim dryly giggled as she kept her Glaive back in her spatial ring as if nothing happened.
That's right... she realized...
