The surrounding airflow continuously condensed and spun, finally gathering on the blade of the Space Blade. Meanwhile, The Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider remained oblivious to the impending danger, still arrogantly focused on David, relentlessly releasing the Flame Spiderweb.
However, each Flame Spiderweb that approached David was torn into pieces by the airflow swirling around him. This surprised even the Dark Panther, who had been secretly observing.
Then, with a thunderous shout from David, he shot forward like an arrow, disappearing from his original position in the blink of an eye. An almost imperceptible afterimage streaked through the air, leaving no trace visible to the naked eye.
The Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider still continued to release the Flame Spiderweb, but it suddenly realized that its enemy had vanished. Just as it stopped to search for him, David appeared right in front of it.
“Are you looking for me?” David asked with a faint smile in a soft voice.
The Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider was taken aback, knowing danger was imminent. It hastily lifted its front legs, revealing sharp spikes, hoping to deliver a lethal blow to David.
But who was David? An awakened eleven-tier tri-elemental ability user. A powerhouse who emerged from the Day of Doom’s slaughter, how could he be daunted by such a feeble attack? He hesitated not as he swung the Space Blade toward the head of The Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider.
“Crack!” A flash of cold light accompanied by a crisp shattering sound echoed throughout the open space! The Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider’s movement halted in midair, the spikes on its front legs lost their luster, growing dim. David retracted the Space Blade, turned, and left with a fluid motion.
The next moment, The Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider’s head fell to the ground like a dropped ball. Its massive body trembled a couple of times before crashing to the ground. Its crimson robe lay lifeless. Blue foul-smelling blood oozed from its neck, but after a few convulsions, it fell completely still.
The Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider, ranked fourth in the forest’s hierarchy, was vanquished by David within ten minutes.
“It’s not even been ten minutes,” David approached Viola and pondered for a moment before speaking. Viola stood there in a daze, as if petrified. She hadn’t even managed to grasp what had happened; The Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider had been cleaved in two by David.
“This is unbelievable…” Viola muttered to herself as she gazed at the creature’s remains. Her expression was filled with shock that lingered for a while. In her eyes, the seemingly invincible and unkillable Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider had been reduced to an ant in David’s hands.
This made Viola realize that David’s defeat of the Purple-Gold Winged Tiger wasn’t a fluke. Killing The Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider was also a matter of pure strength. And his strength had surpassed her imagination. With this realization, she looked up at David, her eyes filled with admiration.
“But it’s not over yet,” David smiled faintly, his gaze shifting towards a nearby large rock. Viola listened to him, looking puzzled.
“Didn’t you kill The Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider? What else is there?” Viola thought there might be another new super-exotic creature appearing, but scanning around, she couldn’t spot anything unusual.
Meanwhile, David had already dashed forward and stood before the large rock where the Dark Panther was hiding. “Come out, peeping isn’t honorable.” 𝙚𝙤𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒐𝙧𝙜
Knowing that he had been discovered, the Dark Panther gritted his teeth. Alongside his subordinates, he emerged from behind the large rock. Seeing two unfamiliar humans, Viola frowned slightly, while Mandy also stared at them, seemingly awaiting David’s command.
“Who are you?” David asked with a cold tone. When they arrived, David? had already sensed their presence. Discovering they were humans, David felt a hint of confusion.
David hadn’t expected there to be other humans besides himself in this wasteland world. However, at the time, David? hadn’t paid them much attention. Having dealt with The Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider, he now wanted to understand their purpose for being here.
“Hmph! This is our Third Lord, the Dark Panther of the Dark City. Who are you?” His subordinates spoke with arrogance, emboldened by the Dark Panther’s presence.
Upon hearing the words “Dark City,” both David and Viola’s expressions flickered with surprise. They hadn’t anticipated the enigmatic Dark City to appear before them, and according to the subordinates’ words, it was even the third-in-command.
“Oh? Dark City? What are you doing here?” David sized up the Dark Panther. After discovering he was merely a Level 9 esper, his tone grew even more disdainful.
The Dark Panther, having recovered from his initial shock, recognized David’s strength. Yet, in his eyes, he was unperturbed since he had his elder brother and second brother, not to mention the entire backing of Dark City. Instead, he felt a surge of anger when he saw Viola gazing at David with admiration.
“Punk, do you think you’re invincible just because you’ve come to the wasteland world? Let me tell you, don’t be arrogant in front of our Dark City! Be sensible, I advise you to leave here quickly, otherwise, when our Dark City launches a full-scale attack, you won’t be able to escape!”
David found the Dark Panther’s threat laughable.David wasn’t impressed by super-exotic creatures from the forest; how could he fear a mere Level 9 esper? He looked at the Dark Panther and said, “I suggest you watch your words, or else…” David pointed at The Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider’s corpse, a playful glint in his eyes.
“Just an exotic creature? Do you really think we, Third Lord’s subordinates, are pushovers? Believe it or not, I’ll show you a thing or two right now!” One of his subordinates rolled up his sleeves, trying to intimidate David. But before he could even raise his fist, a voice appeared right in front of him.
Looking up, he saw a woman with an icy expression, resembling a straw doll. “Smack!” It was Mandy. In his confusion, Mandy raised her hand and struck him across the face.
“You…”
“Smack!” Mandy’s expression remained emotionless as she delivered another slap.
“I am…”
“Smack!” Every time he tried to speak, Mandy’s slap landed on his face. Within seconds, his face swelled like a plateau, and traces of blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.
This left him too afraid to utter another word. He quickly retreated to the Dark Panther’s side, pitifully whispering, “Third Lord, avenge me… Ow! My face!”
Seeing his subordinate being slapped, the Dark Panther’s face turned liver-colored.it was clear that David cared little for his presence. Consequently, an intangible flame seemed to emanate from him, its fiery aura seeming to devour everything around him.
Observing the Dark Panther’s appearance, David’s interest was piqued. “A fire-element esper? Unfortunately, your level is too low.”
