At the same time, Alisa entered the valley to look for Katrina and the others. Eventually she met up with Katrina and Nate, as well as their team members when they were two miles away from the entrance.
Since they inhaled the reversed essential energy for too long, all the team members already lost their strength and couldn't fight, except for Katrina, Nate, and the Sage Level warriors. If anyone launched an attack against them, most of them would die.
However, since Alisa disguised herself as an Imperial Level warrior to be a part of their team, Katrina and the others didn't view her with suspicion but was still confused.
"Master Katrina, Zachary asked me to give this to you," Alisa said as she handed the Magical Gourd and a bottle of Energy Adjustment Pill to Katrina.
"Zachary? What about him? Where is he?" Katrina immediately demanded.
"Zachary and the others distracted the people outside so that I could enter the valley and meet with you," Alisa replied.
"How's Kolton and his men? Are they coming to our aid with Zachary from the outside?" Katrina fired one question after the other.
"They were also ambushed so they can't come to help. Hence, Zachary brought some members of his team here instead," Alisa explained.
"What? The members of the support team are fighting the enemies outside?!" When they heard this, all the team members felt their hearts grow heavier. 'It's impossible for Zachary and his team members to handle so many enemies. They're just asking to be killed. But they really are brave,' they thought to themselves.
Although Katrina arched her eyebrows, she quickly changed her expression. "Did Zachary teach you how to use these things?" she asked.
"He said that this can absorb the reversed essential energy here, but we still need to find the source of the energy. Meanwhile, the pills in the bottle can help increase our immunity to the reversed essential energy for a short time," Alisa explained easily.
"Really?" Delight bloomed on Katrina's face when she heard Alisa's words. 'We might get out of here if we use this,' she excitedly thought to herself.
"Zachary has such amazing treasures. It's truly fortunate news that he came here," Nate gushed. Relief could b
the Fire Shadow Skill!"
"This brat even forced Master Ronnie's hand to deal with him himself. He should have no regrets when he dies!"
"I bet he wouldn't survive even half of Master Ronnie's move."
Soon, a commotion broke out around them. Almost everyone watching the fight believed that Zachary already had one foot in the grave.
At the sight of this, even the Sage Level warriors around Zachary got flustered and stepped back. All of them knew that once Ronnie made his move, they would get injured if they stayed close to Zachary.
Based from the reactions of Bjorn and the Sage Level warriors, Zachary immediately realized that Ronnie would be a tough opponent. In the blink of an eye, the shadow got closer to him. Most shocking to him was that the shadow made him feel like there was no escape. Left with no other choice, Zachary released all his strength to withstand the attack.
Much to his surprise, the shadow didn't unleash any energy. Instead, it delivered a punch straight towards him and broke down all his defenses. A surging force which emitted enormous heat penetrated his Ice Armor, rushing into his body and running through all his veins and body. Zachary felt that his body was about to explode.
Without a doubt, Zachary's life would be forfeit if he didn't stop the force. Since he was left with no other choice, he quickly performed the God-slaying Formula and activated the Holy Brace Bracer in the hopes of making the terrible power leave his body.
