Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

The Peripatetic Pavilion was the eighth contender. Everyone was on the edge of their seats as they all watched Brantley approach the palanquin.

"Listen, everyone! I will use our sect's secret skill to activate the Spiritual Energy Absorbing Mirror later. It may cause some impact, so I hope you can step back to avoid unnecessary damage," Brantley arrogantly boomed.

Unsavory remarks could be heard whispering among the audience. Most of them thought that he was merely bragging, so they didn't take it seriously. After all, the first seven contenders who attempted to cure the Holy Maiden promised huge things earlier. They all made lofty remarks, only to fail in the end.

A handful of warriors stepped back from the stage, but the rest didn't budge. Then, Brantley strode to the front of the palanquin. In an instant, he enveloped it with his Sage Level aura, pushing himself to his limit. Then, he threw the Spiritual Energy Absorbing Mirror into the air. While airborne, the treasure swirled on top of the palanquin—everyone waited with bated breath.

"All this is just your one-sided statement. Who could attest to your statements? Even if you have other ways, are you sure you can save her? Many warriors promised the same thing earlier. Look where it brought us. She is still in a critical condition!" Wendell sneered.

Zachary was about to say something, but he held himself back. On some level, the representative of the Grace Clan was right. He couldn't guarantee his own success. Of course, at this point, there were no rooms for error—Tania's condition was too critical.

"Alright. What do you propose then, Master Wendell?" Kendrick asked when Zachary did not answer.

"Let me use the Crane Healing Bead to treat the Holy Maiden first. If she wakes up and the Spooky Fire Gas is completely removed, then our main objective would be attained. Isn't that what everyone is after? If I fail, then this young man could use the Illusory Grass to revive her. It's a win-win solution. No one will suffer any losses," Wendell proposed.
