Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"Alisa, Linda, in your opinion, what are the odds that Harley will win?" asked Vivian nervously, who was standing beside Jay and their companions.

Both Alisa and Linda exchanged dubious looks after hearing the question and faltered to make a response.

After a short while, Linda answered, "It's hard to say for now. At first, if Harley wanted to do the one-blow battle, he might win. But he chose the free battle. I'm afraid his chances of succeeding would be almost close to zero. Alloys' five treasure beasts aren't easy to deal with. Their purpose isn't just for attraction."

"I agree with you. And I'm sure Harley already knew that such a battle would be unfavorable to him, but why did he choose this still? Could it be because he has worked out other plans?" Vivian questioned. As far as she knew, Zachary would never fight an uncertain battle without confidence. She guessed he had already come up with a strategy to deal with the opponent's treasure beasts.

"Who knows! He's out of his mind if he thinks his plan is going to work," Linda said lightly. She also found Zachary's choice a bit difficult to comprehend.

However, Alisa butted in, "Maybe he's up to something else." Her words piqued everyone's interest. Jay, alongside others nearby, likewise swapped perplexed looks after hearing her comment.

Zachary's decision baffled the onlookers, but even Barnes and some of the college's Sage Level warriors at the primary stage looked confused.

"Barnes, the strength gap between the treasure beasts of the two opposing sides is clearly huge, not to mention that this is a free battle. From my point of view, there is already an obvious winner. I sincerely disagree that the fight will be remarkable. I don't get it why the college's senior leaders have shown such a high regard for Harley. They even ordered us to come and supervise the battle. I'm so annoyed. I no longer know what's going to happen next."

"What you said is true. Although the Demonic Emperor Beast's strength has reached the ninth grade, Alloys' treasure beast is very strong. It's at the eighth grade of Imperial Level and it's at the leading position on the power ranking list for rare treasure beasts. Also, he has three additional rare treasure beasts above the fifth grade. If they joined forces, then the Demonic Emperor Beast may not be able to beat them."

"I think Alloys has at least 90% probability of winning!"

The Sage Level warriors staying next to Barnes all admired Alloys with enthusiasm while looking down on Zachary.

"That's right, but nobody knows the outcome until the last second. Since

under King Beast followed by releasing thunder waves, which rushed toward the Demonic Emperor Beast at lightning speed. Even the weakest common treasure beast at the King Level didn't take the Demonic Emperor Beast seriously. It went around to the latter's back, waiting for the right timing to launch a sneak attack.

The indirect collaboration of the four treasure beasts delivered an outstanding performance. All warriors close by nodded and applauded. With such teamwork, they could handle the Demonic Emperor Beast with better dexterity, despite the latter's mighty strength.

Boom! Bang!

The four treasure beasts' first collective attack soon produced a tremendously destructive force, directly affecting and squeezing the Demonic Emperor Beast's massive body. In an instant, a sudden surge of energy within a radius of ten meters around the Demonic Emperor Beast formed, and dense smoke and dust went up and filled the air.

After this wave of attacks hit the opponent, the four treasure beasts vanished shortly as their morale got boosted with the crowd's praises. They were bracing for the next attack.

However, the Demonic Emperor Beast was not weakened. Although the four beasts inflicted a lot of damage when they moved together, their assaults did not affect because it was bearing the advanced armor that Zachary had customized uniquely for it.

Just as the smoke dissipated, a spear-like shadow suddenly bolted out, like lightning piercing through thick clouds. It advanced toward the Double-headed Parrot with enormous attacking power. The parrot dug into the ground right away to fend off the attack. Simultaneously, the Demonic Emperor Beast's large body scrambled out, heading straight to the Aqua King Beast.
