As soon as Zachary entered the system, he promptly heard Mimi's message. "Tania asked for you to go to her as soon as you came back."
"Oh, did she? She's rather efficient," Zachary murmured almost to himself. Then, with a smile at the corners of his mouth, he rushed to Fairy Island.
When he arrived at the bamboo house, he saw an enormous cage out front. There was a treasure beast at the ninth grade of Imperial Level inside. The beast didn't look very happy. Solemnly lying down in the cage; it didn't even look up at Zachary when he approached. To him, it didn't appear to be a powerful treasure beast with an overwhelming aura. Zachary speculated that it must have taken a bad beating before being subdued. So, the aura coming from it now was sad, as if coming to terms with its miserable fate.
"Hi, Tania. I'm here. Are you home?" Zachary called out as he studied the beast, intending to thank Tania sincerely. What she had done had helped him a lot, and he definitely owed her. But after waiting for a few minutes, there was still no response.
"Where did she go? Maybe she doesn't want to see me after all. Anyway, I have this beast now and that should be enough for now. I can express my gratitude later when I get the chance," Zachary murmured to himself. He then asked Mimi to transfer the huge cage along with the treasure beast inside directly to the Peach Blossom Forest. After that, he returned to the system.
"Mimi, get ready to combine the treasure beasts!" Zachary ordered once he was inside.
"Preparation to combine two beasts will now start. Analyzing data for the fusion..."
After a while, Mimi's voice sounded again, "The analysis is complete.
I have transferred the two treasure beasts into the gene pool.
Do you want to start merging them now?"
Mimi sent out a series of prompt notifications.
"Yes, let's begin!" Zachary answered with a nod.
"Fusion of the two treasure beasts will now begin. It will take some time to complete the process. Please wait patiently."
"Okay." Zachary turned to conduct his genetic research in the meantime.
The Thunder Dragon Horse had had a breakthrough and mutated. Merging with the Blazing Roc's metal element had given it dual elements. That made it a very
is direction and conversation started up.
Zachary looked around, and then headed into the Imperial Coliseum with a blank expression.
This time around, it wasn't only the outside that was crowded. There were fifty or so warriors gathered inside the Imperial Coliseum. Many unfamiliar faces filled the crowd.
As soon as Zachary entered, several figures immediately surrounded him. They were Jay, Tracy and his other companions.
"Why are you guys here?" Zachary questioned tightly.
"How could we not come to cheer you on? You are about to challenge the number one ranked beast tamer in the Imperial Coliseum! You really are something, aren't you? Why didn't you tell us you would do something so important?" Vivian said with a pout.
"It's just like any other battle. It's no big deal," Zachary answered indifferently.
"Well, you are representing Devil Kingdom as you fight this battle. Naturally, we have to support you," Jay said.
"Fight with all your might. Show those Crane College snobs what Imperial Level warriors from the Devil Kingdom are like!" Tracy did her best to encourage him.
They all knew that if Zachary lost this challenge, he would have to pay a heavy price. But in their eyes, Zachary's very existence was a miracle, constantly surprising them. They didn't think him overconfident, just calculating, and with a lot of tricks up his sleeve.
Zachary nodded and smiled in response.
Then, two more delicate figures appeared in front of him side by side.
