Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

After finishing the cultivation, Zachary returned to the system.

"Mimi, I'm going to collect all fragments of the Divine Level treasure, but they need the power at the Holy Level to activate them. It wouldn't be a problem if I ask Anne to help me activate them, right?" Zachary assured.

"Since Anne is your girlfriend to some degree, she is not restricted by the system. She may help you if she wants to," Mimi answered.

"That's good," Zachary answered smiling. He thought that the system would make things difficult for him again, but it seemed to show him some mercy sometimes.

He went to the Death Arena and worked hard for the last three pieces of the magic treasure.

Hours went by and the night passed by Zachary working.

On the early morning of the second day, Zachary went to the coliseum to register for the fight. After yesterday's battle, his Blazing Roc was now a renowned treasure beast. Of course, his identity as its master had already spread to the whole college. As soon as he appeared, everyone else turned to him as he caught their attention. Many of them stared with hostility.

Compared to yesterday, Zachary could tell that the number of present Imperial Level warriors evidently increased. At least twenty of them seemed to be coming for him.

As soon as the Blazing Roc came on stage, the crowd went to a state of uproar. They cheered wildly as if they all looked forward to what was about to happen.

So far, no one was disappointed by its performance. In only two hours, the Blazing Roc won three matches in a row. Its opponents' strengths ranked at least forty or fifty on the common treasure beast list.

However, just as Linda had expected, the Blazing Roc was to encounter a powerful treasure beast in the fourth round. It was the Six-tailed Demonic Fox ranking ninth on the common treasure beast list.

The Six-tailed Demonic Fox was a treasure beast that underwent a mutated breakthrough—it was also a mutated beast. The mutated beast had already reached the limit of its strength. Its strength was at least the first grade of Imperial Level. What was terrifying was the mutated beast had an extremely strong physical body that could not be hurt easily.

The fox had six giant tails varying in length—all of them exhibited extra flexibility and agility.

"I didn't expect that the Six-tailed Demonic Fox to actually show up today! It had disa

ts weakness then?" Zachary asked promptly.

"Look," Alisa said as she pointed towards the fox. "Have you noticed that its six tails vary in length? Because of that, its attack will have a certain limit. If it is forced to initiate an attack with all its tails, its advantage will become the opposite. There will be a chance to overthrow it," Alisa suggested.

"Oh. That's clever!" Zachary nodded. He then gave the order to the Blazing Roc through the system.

After receiving the message, the Blazing Roc continued to attack the Six-tailed Demonic Fox. It kept striking forward, which created no harm. When the fox decided to fight back, the roc suffered slight damage to its power and physical strength—they both decreased a lot.

Just as the Blazing Roc stood to attack again, the Six-tailed Demonic Fox seized the opportunity to identify its opponent's weakness. A giant tail appeared from the back of the roc, making it impossible to stand guard. By the time it reacted, the giant tail had already twisted around it. The tail squeezed tight and ruthlessly swung the roc to the ground afterward.

Boom!

A loud sound thundered from the fall. The smashed Blazing Roc looked seriously injured as it struggled while trying to get up.

The Six-tailed Demonic Fox stopped hitting the Blazing Roc after its victory. It observed its opponent for a while, and after confirming its loss of fighting power, it became active once again. The fox activated all its six tails as it prepared to launch its last strike. The tails shot out like six sharp spears, intending to stab the roc to death.
