Sophie saw him hover in the air with her wide purple eyes. She didn't miss one bit of it and could even tell how he had killed it as she noticed the moment blood came out the Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape.

'From inside the body, also its mouth... it would be weak indeed...' Her eyes gleamed as a deep smile became apparent on her face when she realized he actually instakilled a King Beast Stage Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape!

Even their Elders found it difficult to kill them with their hard and extremely durable defense, but her man instantly saw through them and waited for his opportunity to kill it in a single move. He had no experience dealing with these Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apes, but he managed to instakill their boss in a single move without a brief moment of hesitation as if he had planned it beforehand.

An overwhelming emotion enveloped her as she felt herself falling for him more. A strong man was attractive to many women in this world. She thought that she was different, but when he showcased it right in front of her eyes, in reality, it made her understand that it could make her fall for him even more in love.

She couldn't explain this inexplicable feeling. As for these Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apes, she felt no pity but experienced bliss as she had a personal bias against them for killing so many of their Alstreim Family's elites from time immemorial.

"Sneaky human!!!"

One of the Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apes finally came out of its reverie as it angrily jumped at him, its flaming fists swinging at him in full force.

Black lightning erupted from Davis's legs as he instantaneously dodged the attack using the Thunder Cloud Movement. By this time, the other Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apes came out of their reverie and made their move!

Davis easily dodged their flaming punches and kicks that appeared at different angles. He couldn't help but softly chuckle as he recalled what he did to make them so angry.

He simply used his karmic technique, Misdirection, to draw most of King Beast Stage Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape's attention to the Blazuk Ore. It wanted to fill its stomach with the Blazuk Ores at that moment, not giving much thought as to why it would suddenly feel greedy for it when Davis suddenly made his move.

He shot towards its mouth in his concealed state while using Dark Concealing Shroud Art and summoned the Grieving Emerald Scythe before he cleaved its head from the inside as he shot above from the surface of its tongue, managing to easily pierce through its flesh and skull, destroying its head from the inside.

The erupting earth-attributed martial energy he left along with the deadly slash in its head had eradicated even the few signs of life it was capable of showing with its vitality!

He knew that they were angered at him for not facing their boss in a frontal battle. Likely, they thought that he wouldn't be able to win with his cultivation base.

Davis grinned, wanting to prove them wrong, but he suddenly saw a Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape running away towards the inner region.

"Calling for reinforcements...? That's a rather cautious ape..."

Davis muttered in amusement before he shot towards it.

"Courting Death!"

The other Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apes all roared at the same moment as they all raised their hands, creating a bunch of flaming spheres that looked like it could raze an entire plot of green land into scorched land. They all threw it at him at the same moment, causing Davis to let out an annoyed harrumph.

"Earth Dragon's Overbearing Fist!"

*Boom!~*

The air reverberated, and the incoming brilliant flaming spheres were like candle flames that were snuffed out in a few moments of entering his range. The intensity of his Earth Dragon's Overbearing Fist further traveled to them as it lifted them up a bit from the ground, causing them to lose their balance as they rolled on the ground, their fifty-meter tall bodies causing waves and waves of a dirt-storm.

Some landed on the stream of lava, but they were unscathed by it. The Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apes were all shocked while Davis satisfactorily nodded his head.

'As I thought... These Peak-Level Lord Beast Stage existences are no longer a match for me unless they are at the King-Tier like Nadia...'

Davis turned around as his body flashed. He caught up to the escaping Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape in a few seconds and swung the scythe from behind.

*Clang!~*

His scythe sliced through its neck. However, it hit the crimson crystal, and halfway through it, it blocked his attack as the scythe came to a stop, the other half the crystal cracking as if it could no longer hold on.

"AHHHHH!!!~~~"...

Blood splashed as a female ape's painful voice echoed as it lost its footing and fell, rolling on the scorched ground as it miserably cried out in pain.

Davis paused for a moment before he instantly appeared behind its half-severed nape and swung his scythe, instantly severing its head while his martial energy that was encased on the curved blade surged through the head before it destroyed its soul.

"Sorry, if it weren't for your crystal, you would not have felt any pain..." Davis visibly sighed.

He had determined himself to kill them when they had done nothing wrong against him, knowing that he was the one who is at wrong. Then, the only bit of mercy he could show was to make the experience a painless death. He wanted to kill them without making them feel pain while using his own strength, but the crimson crystal proved to be a bit tougher than he expected.

Now, he knew that if he fought a frontal battle with the King Beast Stage Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape, it would've proved to be a brutal battle than the one he had with the Violet-Lightning Paralysis Beetle. After all, it's crystal was able to defend against both physical and rumored to suppress soul attacks.

He turned to look around and saw the immense hatred swelling within the bloodshot eyes of the five Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apes, their eyes staring at him as if they'd like to kill him many times over and over again, flattening him into meat paste with their very flaming palms.

"Your hatred is all justified, but unfortunately, I can't die for myself and others... Next time, I'll use more strength to let you all die a painless death..."

Davis voiced out with determination as if he was sorry, but there was only cruelty in his eyes.

While they were both scared and raging, he moved, his tiny figure flashing with lightning as he targeted the nearest Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape. Its eyes practically widened as its hairs tingled, but before it could even react, its head was severed from the front, its soul destroyed simultaneously at that very moment!

Davis didn't stop, and neither did the remaining four Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apes stood there watching as they all rushed out in different directions, wanting to escape somehow. It was apparent that they all understood that they were no match for this human.

Davis instantly realized what they were up to as he continued on to the next nearest Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape.

A mutter escaped from his lips.

"Earth Dragon's Overlord Rush!"

*Boom!~*

The air reverberated at the bottom of his feet as he shot off with an incredible speed towards the targeted Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape. Without even stopping, he swung the Grieving Emerald Scythe and severed its head, destroying its soul with his domineering martial energy while he moved on to the next one.

The next Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape hadn't even got far before it managed to catch a glimpse of that terrifying human appearing by its side with an emerald scythe in his hand. The next thing it knew, its gaze elevated towards the skies and turned around as it saw the ground before its sight became pitch black. It had died in that instant.

Davis looked at its severed head for a moment, knowing that it experienced a painless death but possessed fearful eyes before he shot towards the Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape that had gotten the nearest towards the inner region.

*Roar!~~~*

It was roaring for help, fearing him. However, with his speed that was enhanced by three times, he caught up to it in three seconds and slashed again, severing its head as blood splashed from it like a fountain. It was raining blood from four heads, dying the reddish-purple land with crimson.

He turned around to look and saw that there were only two Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apes left. One at the east, and another one towards the west. He was faster than them and was already in front of them, so if they wanted to escape, they could only escape towards the outer region's direction.

The two Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apes bared their fangs while fear where visible in their eyes. They roared at him, trying to intimidate. No, they were giving themselves the courage needed to get past him.

However, one of their heads flew towards the skies before it plunged to the ground right at this moment. The last remaining Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape became shocked and horrified to see its clan member die before it suddenly noticed the human with the scythe standing beside it.

It then looked towards the 'human' who blocked their path and saw it disappear, fading away into the void like an illusion.

When it glanced back at the human again, it saw his figure flash from a distance towards its way. At that moment, it went stiff, realizing that it could do nothing as it watched the human near it, feeling a moment of weightlessness before its consciousness faded into the complete dark.

Davis turned to look around and saw that he only needed twelve seconds to kill these six Peak-Level Lord Beast Stage Scorched-Crystal Crimson Apes. The amount of blood made him frown, but he went around collecting their carcasses into his spatial ring after their blood emptied out before heading towards the carcass of the King Beast Stage Scorched-Crystal Crimson Ape.
