Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

Barney and the rest of the people from the college were baffled at the scene that unfolded before their eyes. Although Zachary was confronted by a warrior at the ninth stage of Sage Level, he could still fight back without even panicking. Moreover, with the strike that he just unleashed, it just proved that his strength was beyond their comprehension.

"Ahem! Ahem!" After quite a long time, the dust and smoke finally settled. Then, an old man slightly staggered and seemed to have an embarrassed look on his face. It was Dario, the warrior at the ninth grade of Sage Level. His clothes were entirely covered with dirt, but surprisingly, he wasn't seriously injured after receiving Zachary's full-blown attack.

Seeing Dario walking out of the veil of dust unharmed, Zachary's eyes narrowed as he recognized that his opponent had certainly withstood his Beast Merging Skill. Obviously, he was disappointed with the outcome since he had already used his maximum strength to launch that particular attack. But, he also knew that Dario definitely had something to protect himself.

"Now, you've done it, brat! However, that was your last chance. I won't fall for you petty tricks again!" Dario had to admit that the young man's strength had exceeded his expectation, but he still thought that Zachary didn't have enough power to defeat him.

"Bring it on, old

ut any warning, Alan issued the order, and the entire ghost army scampered to devour Zachary.

At this moment, Zachary reactivated his Ice Armor as he waited for an opening to launch an attack.

In the blink of an eye, the ghost army swarmed around the young man and began biting him like savage beasts.

Zachary intended to brandish the Illusory Dragon Spine, but he soon sensed that all of his strength was slowly fading away. It would seem that he had really reached his limits, and he no longer had the ability to control the Illusory Dragon Spine.

"Damn it..." Zachary was fully aware that if he wouldn't be able to get past this, death was the only thing that awaited him.

Therefore, before his consciousness started to fade, he made an extremely dangerous decision without any hint of faltering.

To everyone's surprise, Zachary suddenly gave up resisting, completely allowing the ghost army to encircle and devour him.

Witnessing this, Alan couldn't help but laugh devilishly.

As the heartbreaking scene transpired before her eyes, Elva cried at the top of her lungs and attempted to rush into the square to help Zachary without regarding her own safety. "No, Zachary! No!"

However, a man appeared out of nowhere with a cold aura and stopped her by grabbing her arm. "If you go down there, you're just going to throw your life away."
