24: Chapter 24: The Great Bear!

Magical Beast Mountain Range. Western region of the core area.

Today, Sals was in a terrible mood.

As a Saint-level Magical Beast, the Earth Violent Bear, although it possessed extremely formidable defense, it was not good at speed.

It was precisely because of this that while fighting that damned cat, it had been thoroughly toyed with by the other party.

Of course, Sals was not injured.

Because although the other party was fast, its attack power was very weak.

Even if Sals stood there without moving, the other party could not break through its defense.

However, even without being injured, having been teased like that, Sals's mood became extremely irritable.

In the end, after confirming that it could do nothing about the other party, Sals could only return to its territory... to sulk.

"Hmm?" A moment later, the expression on Sals's face changed.

It had sensed a strand of Mental Energy scanning its territory unscrupulously.

This gave Sals the feeling of being provoked.

"Roar!" Sals roared towards the sky.

The pressure belonging to a Saint-level Magical Beast instantly spread to the surroundings.

If it were in the past, it might not have been this furious.

Because it could sense the other party's power from this Mental Energy.

It was a power that also belonged to the Saint-level.

Upon encountering an unfamiliar Saint-level Expert, even a Saint-level Magical Beast like Sals would not directly engage in a fight.

But today, Sals was already in a bad mood.

Since the other party dared to intrude into its territory, it had to pay the price.

Holding this thought, Sals did not hesitate in the slightest and rushed directly towards the direction of the intruder.

Its massive body, over a hundred meters long, left behind trails of afterimages in mid-air.

From this, one could see just how furious Sals was at this moment!

... On the other side, Allen was walking casually along the mountain path.

His Mental Energy expanded, scanning the surrounding situation.

"Roar!" The next moment, a roar filled with fury came from the distant valley.

Hearing this, Allen's footsteps paused.

Before Allen could figure out what was going on, he saw a demonic bear over a hundred meters tall rushing straight towards him.

What was going on?

Was it coming for him?

Did they know each other? Why was it so furious upon first meeting?

"Rumble~" Just as Allen was contemplating, the surrounding earth elements surged madly.

Boulders, tens of meters in size, appeared out of thin air and smashed towards him.

"Damn it!" Seeing this, Allen couldn't help but curse under his breath.

Because he had no idea what this situation was about.

However, since the other party had already attacked, Allen naturally could not just sit and wait for death.

He stomped hard on the ground, his whole body advancing instead of retreating.

"Bang, bang, bang!" Allen swung his fists rapidly.

He didn't even mobilize the Battle Qi within his body.

Relying solely on the Physical Body strength of the Saint-level Realm, he smashed the boulders into dust.

At the same time, Sals rushed in front of Allen.

However, the fury on its face had clearly subsided a bit.

It couldn't help it; it had been frightened by Allen's actions.

As a Saint-level Magical Beast, Sals still had some understanding of the situation regarding humans.

Although the Physical Body of a human Saint-level Expert could break through the sixth-rank restriction, compared to a Saint-level Magical Beast, the Physical Body of a human Saint-level Expert was still inferior.

But what about Allen?

Allen could block its attacks without using Battle Qi.

Although those previous attacks were not Sals's full strength, even a ninth-rank Demonic Beast would end up severely injured if hit by those stones.

Yet, not only was Allen completely unharmed, but he also smashed the boulders into dust.

This was enough to prove that Allen's Physical Body strength had very likely reached the Saint-level.

A human possessing Saint-level Physical Body strength?

Then, to what terrifying degree must the Battle Qi within this human's body have reached?

Most importantly, both the Physical Body and Battle Qi were so powerful?

Such a human Saint-level Expert must have certainly comprehended the Mysteries of the Laws!

Although Sals was arrogant, it was not stupid.

Facing a Peak Saint-level Expert of the third tier, if a fight really broke out, it would definitely not be able to win.

"Human Expert."

"This is my territory."

"If you have nothing to do, leave as soon as possible."

Looking at Allen not far away, Sals spoke in a muffled voice, issuing an order for Allen to leave.

After speaking, Sals also adopted a defensive posture.

After all, it had attacked Allen earlier.

Although, Allen had not been harmed at all.

But, who knew if Allen would hold a grudge and turn to attack it?

It is always better to be cautious.

Sals did not dare to be the least bit careless.

Hearing Sals's words, Allen frowned, his expression somewhat displeased.

After attacking him, it still wanted to chase him away?

In this world, how could there be such an easy thing!

However, Sals was still quite perceptive.

It had been observing Allen's reaction the whole time.

Seeing the displeasure on Allen's face, Sals immediately chose to bow its head.

"Human Expert."

"It was presumptuous of me earlier."

"If you have any requests, you can state them directly."

"As long as it does not touch my bottom line, I can agree to it."

"..."

Sals felt bitter inside.

Even without officially fighting Allen, it knew that its strength definitely could not beat Allen.

Yet, it had taken the initiative to attack Allen.

If Allen wanted to hold onto this matter, it would not only lose all face, but it might even lose its life.

This was something Sals was unwilling to accept.

As a Saint-level Magical Beast, it had a boundless lifespan; how could it be willing to die?

Therefore, it chose to submit.

As long as it could save its own life, it wouldn't matter if it was humiliated by Allen.

"Oh?"

"A request?"

"..."

Hearing Sals's words, Allen was slightly stunned, and then fell silent.

Sals had guessed correctly.

Having been attacked inexplicably by Sals, the thought of killing the other party had indeed arisen in Allen's mind.

Because he had already seen that Sals's strength was not strong, at most it was only the second tier of the Saint-level.

It would not be a difficult task for Allen to kill the other party.

It was just that this guy was a bit too cowardly.

Allen hadn't even made a move, and it had surrendered directly.

Under such circumstances, Allen found it hard to continue attacking.

However, Allen was not a magnanimous person either.

Letting Sals go just like that was absolutely impossible.

At the very least, this guy had to pay a corresponding price for the matter of attacking him!

Suddenly, an inexplicable thought flashed through Allen's mind.

His gaze moved slowly, starting to size up the Earth Violent Bear in front of him.

Feeling Allen's gaze, the muscles all over Sals's body tensed up.

It had already made up its mind.

If Allen really wanted to attack it, it would lead Allen to the territory of other Saint-level Magical Beasts.

It didn't believe it.

No matter how strong Allen's strength was, could he still beat two, three, or even a group of Saint-level Magical Beasts?
