Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"How could Harley summon a Sage Level treasure beast at the premium stage with his current strength? I mean, this doesn't make any sense! Is anyone helping him from the shadows?"

"But who? Even the leader of their group is merely at the primary stage of Sage Level. He is not strong enough to help Harley summon such a powerful beast."

"Barnes, this young man has even summoned a Sage Level treasure beast at the premium stage! If this goes on, I'm afraid there will be more trouble. We better ask Harley to stop this right here! What do you think?"

"Yes, Barnes. What he is doing is obviously against the rules, and he should be disqualified from the battle."

The Sage Level warriors at the primary stage looked towards Barnes for his decision.

Barnes furrowed his eyebrows. There was a trace of surprise on his usually calm face. Although he had figured that Zachary must have hidden his real strength, he still believed that he would not be too surprised by whatever Zachary might do. However, the appearance of such a powerful treasure beast had betrayed all his expectations. He was considering whether he should stop Zachary or not.

"My Fire Hawk!" Louis screamed as he watched his treasure beast being devoured by the fire beast shadow. His face turned red with rage. He would have already crushed Zachary if it weren't for the situation they were in. But he could not let him go that easily either. He turned to Alloys and ordered with a sullen face, "What are you waiting for? Go and beat the crap out of that bastard!"

"But..." Alloys hesitated. He was not a fool. Although he hated Zachary, he was well aware that it would be difficult to deal with that new beast Zachary had summoned. With his power level, it would be like throwing eggs at a rock.

"He killed my Sage Level treasure beast! He has disrespected and humiliated the Kong Clan. How can we let such a person go without making him pay? You have borrowed other treasure beasts. Send them in! Beat his treasure beast at any cost! Trust me, he is no match for you! But remember, this is a personal grudge between you and him. Whatever happens, it has nothing to do with the Kong Clan," Louis continued. From his words, one could ea

the seventh grade of Imperial Level—the Furious Crocodile and the Thunder Bull, both of which were at the premium stage.

To everyone's surprise, Zachary withdrew the Fire Spirit Lion and the Sun-swallowing Beast from the arena.

"Why did you remove your treasure beasts?" Alloys asked, puzzled by Zachary's weird move.

The crowd exchanged confused looks as well, not knowing what he was up to now.

"I can deal with you and your treasure beasts by myself," Zachary replied in an arrogant tone.

"You? By yourself? Are you crazy?" Alloys asked, narrowing his eyes at him. "Well, since you've made up your mind, I won't object. Be careful! I won't show any mercy!" he sneered, looking at the madman in front of him.

"Cut the crap, Alloys. This is the final fight. I'll make you admit defeat this time!" Zachary said, knowing that Alloys would not stop challenging him unless he beat the living hell out of him.

"You've withdrawn your beasts willingly, so don't blame me for attacking you with more beasts from my side!" Alloys warned. With a wave of his hand, the two powerful treasure beasts jumped up and rushed towards Zachary.

The crowd was still shocked that Zachary had decided not to send any of his treasure beasts to fight. They believed that he was crazy. In such a crucial battle of life and death, he refused to summon the powerful Sun-swallowing Sun, and instead, chose to fight alone. This was completely incomprehensible for the ordinary people.
