Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

Just when everyone had written him off as doomed, Mimi taught Zachary all he needed to know of the Demonic Phantom Butterfly.

"It seems this will be somewhat more difficult than the last one." He couldn't help but frown once Mimi had passed the information on to him. It was obvious the Demonic Phantom Butterfly's strength and ability were more troublesome than those of the Gigantic Rhinoceros, especially when it used illusions.

Zachary had already mastered two illusion skills—the Flawless Illusion and the Thousand-Avatar Skill—and so he knew well how powerful an illusion skill was. He had barely come across any other opponents using one in the past, and this made it difficult for him to face it. He was unaware of the true power of the Demonic Phantom Butterfly.

However, the tougher the challenge, the more excited he got. The Gigantic Rhinoceros from before was too boring for his taste.

Just then, the Demonic Phantom Butterfly flapped its wings and slowly flew to the center of the training ground, but did not launch an attack at Zachary. It just continued staring him down with its bell like eyes, analyzing him intensely. Zachary was in no hurry to make a move either and stared right back at it, knowing that once it made a move, he'd be trapped in its illusion. He knew he had to prepare himself to deal with that.

This stalemate went on for around fifteen minutes. All those present began getting impatient and hissed at them. They watched in hope they would see Zachary humiliated by the Demonic Phantom Butterfly.

Finally, it moved, but not in Zachary's direction. Instead, it circled around him and soon all that could be seen of it was a blurry figure, whooshing around before eventually disappearing into thin air.

No one could see it now, not Zachary, not anyone else present. This was the power of the illusion the beast displayed. There we

cloud of icy mist.

This sent the crowd into an uproar once again. These seven ice dragons were clearly quite extraordinary and not a normal martial skill of Imperial Level.

"Is this a premium stage martial arts skill with an element?"

"It seems that this Imperial Level warrior of the Devil Kingdom is more than just capable."

"He is the winner of the qualifying test of Devil Kingdom's Imperial Level Warrior Contest. With that in mind, he can't be that weak. Even so, it's still impossible for him to subdue the Demonic Phantom Butterfly!"

Many discussions were breaking out among the crowd.

But when Barnes saw that Zachary had used a premium stage martial skill with an element, his expression changed again. Considering his own strength, he could see that the skill was no ordinary. More to it, he was only at the medium stage and yet he performed a premium stage skill. He was certainly a rare talent!

"It seems that he's not a nobody. It's no wonder I've heard that even Lady Evil from the Dignity College went all the way to the Devil Kingdom to get him. But no matter how strong he is, he can't accomplish anything in the Imperial Level Warrior Contest without the help of a powerful treasure beast," stated Barnes firmly.
