Chapter 1502 - Grudgeful Crow

After shaking hands, Nyoran and Davis appeared to become much more amicable. They traveled northwest side by side while she took out a messaging talisman, telling her group a lie that she was in the hunt for the peeper.

Davis couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Is it fine? You are leaving your power’s younglings alone on this battlefield. Won’t they be easily targeted by the wicked path powers you’re looking out for?"

"It’s fine. We Dark Moon Crows possess a high perception that we rarely get ambushed. Even if we are ambushed, we would be able to escape with our fast flying speed. Moreover, since I’m away, they’ll be on high alert and use the Moonlit Night Execution Formation that would aid them to battle a Low-Level Ninth Stage Powerhouse without being suppressed."

Davis’s mouth went agape.

Now magical beasts were also using formations?

Nyoran looked at his reaction and giggled, "It’s a natural formation devised by our Ancestors. When they realized that if we get into certain positions as humans do with their formations, they tried it out an innumerable number of times before they found out certain positions that allow our powers to multiply.

Davis raised his brows, looking mesmerized.

"So instead of using formation flags as energy channels, you yourselves are the formation flags. I guess the formation is somewhat easily breakable if there is a weakness, like a weak person in the formation."

"Yes, but the other strong crows would make up for it and safeguard them."

Nyoran appeared proud as she lifted up her head.

"Hehe." Davis appeared amused by her reaction before he asked his doubt again, "Well, then, you say that they can take care of themselves, but then how did that woman from your group get caught?"

"There’s no way she could’ve escaped." Nyoran’s expression became grim, "At that time, she had been scouting the perimeter after we had been severely exhausted battling with humans of the wicked path. However, she noticed an anomaly and went too far without informing us. She was trapped by Ryzenir, a Low-Level Emperor Beast Stage Three-Eyed White Serpent. We were completely unaware of what happened to her and thought that the wicked path killed her until Ryzenir spilled the tragic news to us to provoke me into a fight so that I can break the unspoken rule between our two powers."

"Fortunately, one of my Elders was there with me at that time, stopping me from breaking the unspoken rule. There’s no punishment for breaking this rule. However, the protection granted by this rule would not apply to me anymore, and any powerful Three-Eyed White Serpent could hunt me to death while I could only escape their onslaught if I returned and stayed in my empire and remained at home for the rest of my life until I became stronger."

"The Three-Eyed White Serpent Palace, huh..."

The Three-Eyed White Serpent Palace Territory was to the east of the Dark Moon Crow Empire Territory and north of White-Winged Tiger Empire. He had expected a character from the Three-Eyed White Serpent Palace or the White-Winged Tiger Empire to be her target of revenge, so he wasn’t really surprised by her statement.N♡vεlB¡n: Transforming Moments into Memories.

Nyoran saw his reaction before she continued.

"They’re terrifying snakes who use illusions to easily ensnare their prey and inject poison. Nevertheless, now that you know that we’re going to kill a character of the Three-Eyed White Serpent Palace... are you afraid? Are you going to back out?"

"Surely, you jest." Davis chuckled, "I already knew that when you needed an outsider’s help, it was something of this caliber. Otherwise, you have your own power to rely on."

Nyoran saw his confident and relaxed expression. She didn’t notice any discrepancies with what he was stating before she looked away.

"The enemy is one of the many candidates for the position of Palace Master in the far future. Are you still willing to kill such a character?"

His mind wandered into the different types of Darkness Elementals he had read about while flying with Nyoran. It took them an hour to reach their destination because they traveled slowly. As for the reason why, it seemed to be because of ambushes set by the wicked path.

However, they reached where Nyoran had last seen Ryzenir’s group without encountering any kind of traps or dangers.

"Strange, there are no traps. We would usually encounter one or two killing formations suddenly blanketing us out of nowhere on the way."

"Is that so?"

"Yes." Nyoran heavily nodded to Davis’s skepticism, "The powerhouses from the Poison Lord Villa usually lay their traps in the places we traveled, but I don’t see them anywhere at the moment. Actually, I noticed quite a while ago that it was strange when their numbers lessened on this particular battleground. That’s why we were also daring enough to take a break in that waterfalls but could it be that they have headed further north?"

She pondered while Davis shrugged.

"I don’t know as I seldom interacted with wicked path powers, but what is this about waterfalls?"

Davis asked, playing ignorant while Nyoran narrowed her dark red eyes at him before she shook her head, "Just cleaning ourselves up after a one-sided massacre with nameless and irrelevant wicked path humans. Their Ninth Stage Powerhouse escaped by sacrificing his entire group."

"How wicked path-like..."

Davis chuckled as he finished looking around, "Your Three-Eyed White Serpent friend isn’t here."

"He’s not my friend..."

Nyoran’s black brows frowned as she looked at him before she belatedly understood that he was joking.

"You speak quite differently. No one jokes like that to me."

She shook her head as if she was exasperated before she took off.

"Are you a princess or something or have magical beasts yet to learn the concept of joking around?"

Davis followed as he asked.

"Who knows~?"

Nyoran turned back and smiled at him, "Let’s search for them but watch out for their illusions. They specialize in trapping wicked path powers as well, giving them a taste of their own poison."

"I understand. Thank you for the warning, Nyoran."

"Don’t be so polite, or I might start having needless sympathy for humans."

"Whatever you say, boss..."

While Nyoran looked at him with a confused and exasperated expression, Davis had fun teasing her. No matter how much of a magical beast she may be, she appeared more like a human in his eyes. Moreover, the sight of a magical beast becoming baffled by a human’s behavior, whether it may be awe or disgust, had him feeling amused in this alone time.

Nevertheless, they soon found what they were looking for, except the scene they were looking at was gruesome and bloody.
