Chapter 1248: Sayaka

When that leopard beast entered Shenglong Village.

It discovered it had arrived in a strange space.

This space seemed like the village itself.

But inside, there were no humans.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Then!

A terrifying roar echoed.

It made it realize something was wrong.

Inside this space,

there was also a peculiar rainbow.

At this moment!

It realized the rainbow's order was reversed.

"This is a barrier space!"

As the leopard beast realized this,

Boom—Boom—Boom!

Accompanied by heavy footsteps,

a massive figure slowly approached it.

It was a giant creature covered entirely in silver.

A massive being armored in hard scales.

Tens of meters tall.

Its grotesque armor, under dim light,

emitted a chilling gleam.

It sent shivers down its spine.

"This is a creature from this world!"

The leopard beast was filled with terror.

It sensed the terrifying aura emanating from the silver giant.

No less potent than those weak beings it encountered after emerging from the abyssal rift.

Howl! Howl! Howl!

Yet before it could examine closely,

countless phantom beast roars erupted.

Boom—Boom—Boom!

Then countless figures charged toward it.

"Howl! Howl! Howl—!"

Soon!

Within the Rainbow Dreamland,

a scream of agony rang out.

Soon!

The entire space of Rainbow Dreamland returned to stillness.

"What kind of creature is this?!"

At this moment,

Sayaka, who appeared in Rainbow Dreamland, stared in surprise at the leopard beast.

"This isn't a phantom beast!"

"It has no phantom beast aura within it!"

Sayaka's gaze turned puzzled.

She furrowed her brow.

Then she gestured with her hand.

A tearing wind surged rapidly toward the leopard beast's corpse.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The terrifying gale,

like razor-sharp blades,

instantly split the beast's corpse in two.

"This is—!"

A glowing core appeared inside the leopard's corpse,

emitting a massive amount of energy.

Like a ticking bomb ready to explode at any moment.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A stream of sand suddenly materialized out of thin air.

It formed a colorful ribbon-like stream.

It surged toward the core.

It wrapped around it and returned.

It was quickly handed over in front of Sayaka.

"This, this is!"

Suddenly Sayaka's eyes went wide.

She seemed to have thought of something.

"Could this be... a beast core!!"

"It's something from that world!"

Sayaka cried out involuntarily.

She had survived in the desert for countless years.

A long, long time ago.

When she was still an ordinary person.

Sayaka had once heard of certain things.

They said that in the abyss of this world.

There was a narrow crack.

And inside that crack.

Sometimes strange creatures would appear.

These creatures, in outward appearance, seemed no different from the phantom beasts of their world.

But they were unable to undergo the beast-tamer and phantom-beast contract ceremony of their world.

Moreover, those strange creatures.

They held extreme hostility toward the humans and living beings of this world.

It was as if they were utterly incompatible with everything in this world.

Later!

Sayaka heard.

They called such creatures demonic beasts.

The difference between demonic beasts and ordinary phantom beasts was.

They could cultivate on their own.

Their intelligence was extremely high.

They could even use all kinds of weapons.

And they had one very special trait.
