Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

Bang!

The Holy Level power inside Zachary was instantly divided into numerous streams. They exited his body quickly and exploded around him, causing the ground where he stood to sink and crack. Several bottomless holes appeared everywhere, and it continued to crack in all directions.

When he managed to force the Holy Level power out of his body, Zachary spat out a mouthful of blood and his face turned deathly pale. Although he had successfully driven the power out, the attack still caused a lot of damage to his body.

At this point, the glow emitted by the two flaming balls on Zachary's chest dimmed out; the Heaven Fire Formula was at its limit.

"Zachary!" Elva yelled, her face contorted in fear. Zachary's other friends were flustered seeing that he was injured by Ronnie. They were still in the middle of fierce fights and could not help him. Besides, they knew that they were too weak to save him from that Holy Level warrior.

But this was Zachary. He wouldn't go down that easily. Ronnie's horde was taken aback when they saw that he was still standing. 'Master Ronnie's strike should have hurt that brat badly, but he is only slightly injured. What the hell is going on?' they thought in confusion.

"Few Sage Level warriors in the Supernal Continent would manage to stand like you after taking my attack. Boy, you indeed have something up your sleeve!" Ronnie remarked, as he studied Zachary. Slowly, his eyes landed on Zachary's Ice Armor and the Illusory Dragon Spine. He recognized that the two items were Divine Level treasures. 'No wonder he could withstand my strike,' he thought to himself.

"Oh, that? It was a mere punch. Nothing I can't handle," Zachary said sarcastically. He was planning to stall them as long as he could.

Ronnie let out a loud laugh. "Ha! Is that so? Well then, don't blame me for what's coming," he warned with a sneer.

His fire shadow approached Zachary again, and kicked him square in the chest. He was thrown backwards and flew until he smashed against the wall of the valley. The stone structure caved in, and due to the impact, his Ice Armor, which was as solid as a rock, began to crack. It proved how potent Ronnie's strike was.

Zachary, who was embedded into the wall, stepped on

ial skill. This brat is weaker than Bjorn! How is he still alive? Why is he still standing?'

Ronnie didn't know that Zachary had mastered the Healing Reviving Skill from the Fighting Crane. Thanks to that, he could fully recover in a short time, no matter how badly he was injured. Earlier, he had gathered all his strength to perform the skill which helped him survive Ronnie's lethal strike.

The crowd was speechless. Words failed to describe their shock.

Ronnie was embarrassed. His face twisted in anger.

Zachary gathered his remaining strength and spoke clearly. "If you want to enter the valley, you will have to get past me first," he shouted at the top of his lungs, staring down at his enemies.

Ronnie's men were startled by the aura Zachary was giving off.

"Ignore him. He has no strength left to fight. He is not a threat to us anymore," Ronnie shouted with a livid face.

Hearing this, the warriors looked at each other. Then, they rushed towards the entrance.

A smile appeared on Zachary's face when he saw the large group rushing towards him. He quickly formed an array on his chest once again. "Third stage! Activate!"

In an instant, a third flaming ball appeared on his chest. The next moment, the dimmed glow from the two flaming balls began to shine again.

"Invincible Sage Array!" With a loud shout, Zachary instantly activated the array. At the same time, the Illusory Dragon Spine materialized in his hand. He dashed towards his enemies with his weapon.
