Zachary's expression changed. Because of the Demonic Emperor Beast's unprecedented move, he had no time to evade the spears' power despite his timely repositioning midair. In an instant, the impact hit his body like a huge hammer pounding on a door, knocking him to the ground. But this was only the first wave of energy, and the second one soon followed. It landed on his initial position, creating another violent impact.
The dust on the ground blew straight up, covering the sky. The violent energy engulfed the entire area within a few dozen meters. Deafening sounds rang out one after another.
Everyone present stared wide-eyed as the place got covered by the dust and energy because they knew no matter how powerful Zachary was, he wouldn't be safe under such a violent force.
Feeling helpless and full of worry, Jay and Tracy could only stare in shock.
The Demonic Emperor Beast went on for a long while. It roared with its head held high, looking fired up like a triumphant warrior.
The onlookers shook their heads after the smoke cleared off, just enough for them to notice Zachary not moving an inch. They thought about the possibility of Zachary losing his life, or perhaps, how severe his injuries could be.
"Is he going to be okay?" Linda frowned.
"Who knows? He deserves whatever trouble he's gotten himself into. He didn't listen to Barnes' advice. If he had some self-knowledge, he should quit at that point." Alisa's deadpan expression made her appear cold, but she kept staring at the middle where the smoke spread.
"Despite that, he is still a gifted warrior. It will be a shame if he becomes impaired," Linda said grievously.
"Linda, why do you care so much about him?" At this point, Alisa glanced at Linda
d out of curiosity.
"Who knew what was in his mind!" Tracy shook her head in response.
Barnes felt annoyed after he caught sight of Zachary taking out a powerful defensive weapon. Even so, he felt Zachary was buying time because he couldn't pass the test if he didn't conquer the beast.
The beast still tried to break through the shield despite it being a Sage Level treasure. Although Zachary couldn't utilize its full strength now, he could trap beast for a while.
As time passed, the aura discharged by the shield weakened; the shield seemed to have reached its limit.
Zachary suddenly waved his hand, and the shield flew. After gaining his freedom back, the beast rushed in front of him in no time. It raised its four arms high like four giant wooden bats, and then thumped down on him. Zachary soared and passed through the four arms like a shadow. In the blink of an eye, he swept past the beast's neck and dropped back to the ground the next instant.
The beast suddenly let out a sharp hiss and knelt on the ground with a thud. Its violent aura at the premium stage of Imperial Level faded as if its entire strength had suddenly disappeared.
