Chapter 3838 He Will Not Dare To Act Rashly
Of course, there had also been times Floyd had to admit defeat. He had encountered several powerful fighters previously, and his attempts at devouring them had only caused him to get injured.
Nonetheless, through maniacally devouring and hunting down fighters, he had boosted his strength at a much faster rate than anyone could have imagined.
He only had one thought in his head the entire time—devour without restraint to grow his powers and exact revenge on Gloria.
As time passed, the power and resources from ordinary small sects became less and less effective in enhancing his strength.
However, he dared not provoke the major sects rashly, well aware that he was still no match for the fighters from those sects.
Hence, he focused his sights on Yannopolis.
The city boasted a large population, and its strongest force was its guard brigade. Even so, the fighters from the area could not rival Floyd.
Not only can I leverage the number of people within the city to enhance my powers, but I can also ensure my safety at the same time. Those are the perfect conditions for extreme devouring.
What Floyd never expected, however, was that he would meet Levi after his killing spree in Yannopolis.
Although Levi had hidden his powers and changed his appearance slightly, Floyd knew the former too well and could easily recognize him based on his habitual movements and natural aura.
Floyd had not lost all reason yet, and he truly did not want Levi to see him in such a monstrous state. That was why he had turned and fled.
Someone’s coming!
Suddenly, he sensed two strong auras approaching swiftly, and one of them seemed particularly familiar.
Is Master catching up?
His heart lurched. Not daring to linger where he was, he continued sprinting deeper into the forest.
Levi and Cheriette had followed him into the woods.
“This guy’s speed is quite astounding. Wait here. I’ll chase after him on my own,” Levi said in a low voice.
“O-Okay. Be careful, Mr. Garrison.”
Although she was afraid that she would get hunted by the Dark Demon, she dared not go against Levi’s orders.
“He won’t dare to act rashly with me around.”
By the time she heard those words, he had already vanished in front of her.
Even with Cheriette’s presence slowing Levi down, Floyd shouldn’t have been able to shake Levi off.
Floyd was still on the run only because he had escaped from Yannopolis in advance, which caught Levi off guard.
On top of that, Levi was unfamiliar with Kenfort, especially the area they were in with its mountains, dense trees, and tricky terrain.
He had thought taking Cheriette with him would make things easier since she was considered a local. Alas, she was just as much of a stranger to their surroundings as him.
While at the headquarters of Astre Lune Sect, she devoted herself to cultivating within the sect’s compound and hardly went outside to train.
On top of that, the sect wanted to protect her due to her cultivation potential. They did not allow her to explore or train in dangerous places until she was fully grown up.
As a result, not only was she unable to act as a guide and provide Levi with any assistance during their pursuit, but she was also the reason he had to slacken his pace.
Inside the forest, Levi caught a fleeting glimpse of a shadowy figure and quickly gave chase.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just then, trees were thrown at him, one after another. Although they did not fly toward him at blinding speed, the attack covered a wide area.
Is this meant to slow me down?
Levi’s lips curled into a smirk as he aimed a punch at the trees flying toward him.
His fist moved through the air so quickly that the wind whistled. The attack obliterated the trees into dust, which was quickly swept away by the winds.
Swoosh!
Up ahead, the burly figure was still fleeing at top speed. Occasionally, he would swerve to the left and right and even use the hanging vines to swing himself forward.
