The Story Never Ends

Chapter 177 - Joanna



As he had guessed, his experience points slowly increased. Yet even after consuming all that it only filled one-tenth of his experience bar.

"However, it is too slow. If I want to level up in this way then it would take a huge amount of spirit stones that I don\'t dare to imagine." He muttered and took out some similar treasures that he had fed to Danny a while ago. They were from the enemies he had killed today.

"Let\'s try them." He threw them in his mouth and focused on his panel.

Since some of these treasures were at the Nascent Soul Stage, he earned a bit more than earlier.

"Three-tenths of the experience bar is filled. However, I\'ve finished all those treasures, and taking the spirit stones is not worth it." He shook his head.

"The only thing that can help me is the pills I obtained from Bryant." Without any hesitation, he swallowed them too.

A few minutes later,

"Just a little bit of experience points are needed to level up. Although I can consume those recovery pills and level up, I won\'t consume them now. After all, it would help me during a fight." Without these pills, he would have found it difficult to beat that tiger.

"Hehe, but this is good news for me. Now I don\'t need to only depend on pills and slaughter," he smiled.

"The Heavenly Body is really terrifying. Talking about it, Danny should also possess it as this can only explain why he can swallow treasures and spirit stones," he finally understood.

"Not only that, the reason why the bald man couldn\'t take over him must be due to his body. Especially the weird aura surrounding the soul." He closed his eyes and set his sights on his dantian.

A muscular and miniature version of his giant body was floating in a lotus position. It was completely made of lightning but the sea of lightning below had disappeared. It looked like it was sucked by the soul.

In addition to this, an aura that was similar to the bald man was being radiated from it. It had the same ancient feeling and didn\'t seem to belong to this world.

"This must be what Elder Liliana meant by the strange Qi inside Danny that I had to be careful of." He had a serious look on his face.

"This aura has also pushed away my devil seed." Previously his soul used to be just above the seed. But right now, it was thrown into a corner. It looked as if the soul wanted to tell you are simply not qualified enough to be near me.

"Maybe it found it disgusting?" Davion guessed.

"Whatever.." he let go of this matter and focused on his soul.

"Ice"

The soul immediately turned icy white, and he could feel a close attachment with the ice elementary particles in the air.

"Haha, I can also switch the attributes of my soul." He laughed. After going through this transformation, he was a bit worried since he didn\'t want to manipulate only one element in the air. But it looks like he was only overthinking things.

Next, he was about to try other elements when suddenly he heard some movement coming from outside.

"Is it finished?" He returned back to his normal form and wore back his robes. Then he finally left the room.

"BOOM"

The moment he exited; he was greeted by an explosion.

The ball vanished in the air and a beautiful bird appeared in his vision. It still had the same red and golden-colored body but it was two hundred feet long and a powerful aura was being released from it.

"A Nascent Soul Stage…" he muttered.

The bird flew and circled around his courtyard as it couldn\'t leave due to the dome covering it.

Thus, it glanced down and saw a human standing there gazing at it. It felt like it had seen it somewhere. Nonetheless, it couldn\'t recall it. The only thing it remembered was getting beaten by someone.

So, it became hostile even though it was not clear who attacked it. It screeched and fired a beam of flames from its mouth.

"Humm, I thought that it would come into my arms. It looks like the memory reading spell had caused serious damage to it. Does this mean that I have to tame it?" He made up his mind and made his move.

"Freeze"

With just his thought the courtyard became ice cold, and the flames coming towards him were extinguished. He had used the Divine Thunder Technique while switching the element.

Seeing the flame being ineffective, the bird waved his wings and generated a windstorm. As a result, the flames became twice as powerful and devastating.

"It\'s quite strong. But I have to end this fast. Or else the courtyard would get damaged." He lifted his hand, and ice energy began gathering on it.

In a few seconds, a huge palm was formed from ice. He could have done this with just his thought too, but he didn\'t do so as it would consume a terrifying amount of spiritual energy.

He then soared into the sky and slammed his palm towards those flames.

"Bam"

The flames didn\'t extinguish as earlier, and he could feel his ice melting. Nevertheless, he didn\'t care about it as he had another purpose. He simply used brute force and moved forward.

The flames were pushed back while his ice melted at a rapid rate. In this way, Davion managed to approach the bird while remaining unscathed.

The bird saw this clearly and rushed to the other side straight away. Then it glanced back, but it only perceived some traces of fire and snowflakes in the air. As for that person, he was missing.

"Here" Abruptly it heard this voice coming from ahead and became shocked. But before it could react, a heavy blow landed on its face.

"BOOM"

The bird crashed into the pool and everything became quiet.

"Father, what happened?" Danny emerged while taking a bite of an odd metal in his hand.

"Your new friend, the bird has recovered," Davion smiled.

"Where is it?" Danny\'s eyes lit up.

Davion pointed his finger to the pool, and Danny went there curiously.

"Why is it sleeping?" Danny asked.

"It will wake up soon." Davion took out a knife from his spirit ring and slapped it.

The knife flew towards the bird, and it entered a few centimeters inside it.

"Puchi-"

"Father!" Danny exclaimed in shock and couldn\'t believe what he saw.

"It\'s nothing. Just wait." He hooked his finger and the knife returned back to him.

"I got its blood." He looked at the blood on the tip of the knife. Afterward, he slid it on his thumb.

His blood also dripped on it and he began casting the Demon Beast Connection Art.

He infused his spiritual energy into it, and a blood-red aura was emitted. Then he drew a circle in the air with the knife and added some symbols inside it.

A mark containing strong energy was formed, and he poked it with his knife.

"Go"

The mark was divided into two, and one flew straight towards his forehead while the other went towards the forehead of the bird. Then they faded after reaching. Nothing happened to Davion but the bird shook and its eyes opened in an instant. Despite this, it still didn\'t seem to wake up.

"Is it ok?" Danny was worried.

"Yes." Davion confidently nodded as he didn\'t think that there would be bugs in the technique he learned from the panel.

They waited there for a couple of minutes and there was still not a single noise. This made Davion sweat and have a strange thought, "Was my blood too powerful for it to handle?"

When he was wondering, he suddenly heard a female voice in his mind, "Are you the one who saved me?"

"This.." Davion had his mouth wide open as it was his first time experiencing this technique.

"Yes." Davion only had to think this and the bird would hear it.

"Splash"

The bird crawled out from the pool and stood infront of them. They all looked at each other in silence. But Davion and the bird were communicating in their minds.

"You remembered everything?" Davion questioned.

"Not much, only some things at the end," She replied.

"Did my powerful blood trigger something?" He guessed and looked at her curiously.

"So, do you have a name?"

"I was named Joanna," she answered.

"Joanna, good name," Davion praised.

"Father, can I touch it?" Danny, who was quiet, finally spoke.

Davion didn\'t reply but gazed at Joanna.

Joanna understood everything and came closer to Danny and lowered her head allowing Danny to touch it.

"Wow!" He happily stroked her head.

"Do you know why you can\'t speak? As well as transform." Davion was confused. He knew that one could speak after reaching the Golden Core Stage and could transform after reaching the Nascent Soul Stage. Nonetheless, it was not the same for her.
