Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"Sophie, if there are enemies I can't take care of, I'll leave them to you. But don't push yourself. You are not in good shape right now," Zachary said as he rested his eyes on Sophie.

"I know. But don't get yourself killed either. My welfare for the rest of my life is in your hands," Sophie said deliberately misleading the rest to misunderstand their relationship.

Elva and the other girls turned to look at Sophie and Zachary in surprise. They could tell that there was something more going on between them.

"The whole team's safety depends on this, so we can't afford to make any mistakes. If we fail, we all die. I hope you can try your best to get your tasks done," Zachary said seriously.

"Zachary, you and I are good friends. I am willing to go with you wherever you choose and die with you if needs must. I don't fear death, fighting by your side would be an honor," Pollard said with a laugh.

"If we were afraid to die, we wouldn't have come with you," Queenie pointed out determinedly.

"It's not as if it's the first time for us to go through such ordeals with you. I believe that luck will be in our favor and we will get through this," Rebecca cut in.

"No matter what happens, I will always be with you," Elva said, giving Zachary an affectionate look.

"Don't be so pessimistic. Although I haven't known you for that long, I know you are friends with Zachary. So just have faith in him. He will not get us killed. All you have to do is buying me some time so I can give these things to Master Katrina. That way, they can get out of the valley and join you," Alisa said with a little frown.

"She's right. Don't forget that you have me. Stay focused and try your best to fight our enemy. I will cover you all," Sophie said as she let out a chuckle.

Queenie and the others looked at each other and nodded solemnly. Their determination to fulfill their roles shone through.

"Move out!" Zachary instructed. He then sent Alisa into the system before dashing towards t

til he reached the entrance.

Over twenty dead bodies lay behind Zachary, leaving a gruesome sight behind him.

Zachary looked like an unstoppable demon.

Since Zachary was able to take down many of his men, Bjorn surmised that he was at least an Imperial Level warrior. He had underestimated him. That made Bjorn's face darken more with dissatisfaction.

"What are you standing around for? Stop him!" Bjorn yelled, motioning to his men to attack Zachary. Receiving his order, the warriors dashed forward, unleashing their martial skills.

But before the warriors could reach him, Zachary created several avatars that charged at them.

In mere seconds, his avatars were colliding with the enemies.

Half of the enemies stood frozen, their faces deathly pale. They couldn't move an inch, let alone fight back. They had been killed in a heartbeat.

"Damn it! What's this bastard's real strength? How could he be this powerful?" Bjorn cursed in exasperation through gritted teeth. He hadn't foreseen Zachary would be able to slaughter that many Imperial Level warriors without breaking a sweat. Only outstanding warriors could do that.

"All of you, go kill this brat!" Bjorn ordered the rest of his men who were at the primary stage of Imperial Level.

Soon, they swarmed towards Zachary, determined to take his life.
