Chapter 203 Narrow Escape
"It's nothing..." Lucia made a sound of refuting and shook her head as she hid her blush by controlling her emotions.
"Hmm?" Davis frowned.
Although he knew how they got battered, he didn't know the cause of it since his Soul Sense was only concentrating on those two's well being.
So he was more or less curious about what had happened at that time.
"Oh, come on, Lucia. Didn't you ask me? Maybe Davis will have the answer." Lucas provoked her while secretly holding back his suppressed laughter, and this time his gaze eyed Davis aiming to embarrass him.
"Go ahead, if it is within my knowledge, I can answer any question that might bother you..." Davis uttered with a confident expression on his face.
Glancing at that, Lucas turned jubilant as he sneered, 'Even I don't dare to answer her! Let's see how you answer her when you've not even witnessed those acts!'
Lucia hesitated for a moment but still shook her head, "There is no way you would know..." But then her eyes suddenly brightened, "Wait! Didn't you say you live in the mountains or forests? So you should know about it..."
Her latter sentence came as a mutter.
Davis nodded patiently but thought confusedly, 'Why is she beating around the bush for?'
"Then do you know why two Steel Back Boars rammed their bodies at each other's front while emitting weird cries? Were they fighting?" Lucia's mouth opened, her face was straight laden with a serious expression.
The atmosphere suddenly went silent.
Davis suddenly had a reminiscent feeling of deja vu flashing past his mind. This familiar yet a different kind of question... Davis sighed as he glared.
"What are you staring at me for?" Lucia questioned meekly, not able to understand why he looked at her like that.This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.
"Maybe you should ask your brother, no?" Davis smiled faintly. Now he understood why Lucas threw the question to him.
Lucas shook his head heavily, "I don't know!" But muttered inwardly under his breath, 'She obviously couldn't connect that with our parent's nightly affairs! If I let her know then she will attack me from embarrassment!'
A few minutes passed in awkward silence before Davis opened his eyes immediately and jumped down.
"We're leaving!" He quickly came towards Lucia and Lucas, grabbed the both of them and left swiftly in the direction of the setting dawn.
A few minutes later, the trees shook while the ground quaked from tremors at the spot where Davis left.
A huge silhouette appeared near the campfire and growled heavily that echoed throughout the forest.
The nearby Magical Beasts scrambled for a place to hide, fearing for their lives.
The huge wolf-like Magical Beast looked at the roasted Steel Back Boar as it approached and then it glanced in the direction where Davis left before it started to devour the remaining piece of roasted flesh.
Then it looked in the direction of east before it took off.
...
Hearing the growl, Lucia and Lucas's heart skipped a beat for a moment.
Davis suddenly uttered, "A Peak-Level Grand Beast Stage Magical Beast..."
Both of them shuddered a little before heaving a sigh of relief.
They both understood that if they left a little late, the Magical Beast would've been on their trail.
Davis narrowed his brows, "A Fifth Stage Magical Beast that should have been in the inner part of the forest. For what reason did it come to the outer part..."
He had no idea, so he thought of using his Soul Sense but decided against it since the magical beast might get offended and come after them.
Little did he know that it hurried off to hunt the presence in the cave he detected earlier.
After deciding not to stay there anymore, they continued their journey in the night time by circling through the outer zone of the forest.
With Davis around, they managed to avoid most of the Magical Beasts which were on their hunt or hibernation.
In the span of a single night, they exited Kyle Forest and made their way north, successfully entering the border of Uriel Kingdom.
They continued their journey for a full day before they arrived at the capital of the Uriel Kingdom.
