Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"As expected, compared to the one you've fought before, this one's more powerful." Linda's eyes narrowed.

"What is this beast?" Zachary asked and looked at Linda.

"This is the Demonic Chital, which ranks the fifth among the common treasure beasts in Crane College. It can use the martial energy of the wood element and has learned the beast martial arts. Its strength is very extreme and has a record of thirty consecutive wins in the coliseum's common group," Linda answered.

"Thirty consecutive victories? That is very impressive. To have the physical strength to fight thirty battles in a row is remarkable enough already," Zachary agreed.

"I'm afraid your Orion won't be able to win even a single round today." Linda gave Zachary a smug look.

After the Demonic Chital came onto the stage, its opponent who had just secured two successive wins surrendered at once. Its next two competitors' bodies were full of bruises in less than ten minutes. The terrifying thing was that this beast won with ease just by using its tail.

"The Demonic Chital is beyond my belief! Its tail moves so fast that I could hardly notice it. It has a great deal of tactical flexibility in attacking and defending itself," Zachary said with a deepening frown.

"You're having second thoughts, are you?" Linda glimpsed at Zachary.

"But I don't think it can beat Orion's prowess," Zachary insisted.

"Although Orion is more dominant in the air, it has to approach others first if it wants to initiate an attack. And once it gets close to others, it will lose its aerial advantage," retorted Linda.

"I'm willing to bet that if Orion wins, you will marry me." Zachary made an unwanted romantic advance to Linda.

"You bastard!" Linda glared at Zachary with her cheeks flushing, knowing he was flirting with her.

"Don't you dare to bet this big with me?" Zachary snickered with pleasure.

"Let's make a deal. If you lose, you will become my servant and follow all my orders!" Linda put forth her thoughts.

"Deal!" Zachary smirked as he saw how simple it

"Orion seems much more powerful than it was several days ago. Even if it broke through the Imperial Level, it didn't make sense because its talent has peaked and its ability in all aspects has reached its limit. Because of it nature, it can't improve further. It can only remain at the first grade of Imperial Level." Upon realizing the two beasts were about to draw, Linda stared in disbelief.

"Don't belittle Orion!" Zachary simpered.

"I'm not belittling it. I'm downplaying you." Linda gave Zachary a death stare.

Zachary shook his head and smiled.

Just as the two beasts were about to end the battle in a tie, suddenly, when Orion was about to avoid another wave of attack from the Demonic Chital's tail, its horns produced creepy looking flowers. Soon, those flowers exploded without delay, and the flowering spikes floated into the air at once, rushing towards Orion.

When the spikes touched Orion's wings, it felt unusually heavy. Soon, it lost its balance in midair and plunged straight to the ground.

Almost at the same time, the Demonic Chital's tail rocked back and forth at high speed, forming a large whip in the air. The force it generated was strong, and the momentum was overpowering.

"It's the Demonic Chital's skill, Enormous Whip Shadow! If it reaches Orion, its injuries will be fatal." The air inside the coliseum was full of chaos.
