"Huff... hiss... hmm...!"
The raging lightning reflected in the Treasureback Golden Turtle’s vertical pupils.
Its eyes were filled with pure terror.
The good news was that its suffering was finally over.
The bad news was that its life was also over.
It thought Zayne was going to let it go.
Instead, Zayne was about to send it off for good.
"Guh! Ha... woo!"
The Treasureback Golden Turtle shook its head frantically, like it was begging for rcy.
"What’s wrong?" Zayne asked with a smile.
"Do you still have sothing to say?"
The turtle went silent for a mont.
Then it seed to make up its mind.
Over this ti, it had figured things out.
The human in front of it was completely unhinged.
If it could not fight him, it could not run from him either.
And the smarter a creature was, the more it feared death.
The Treasureback Golden Turtle slowly worked its massive jaw.
It looked like it was chewing on sothing.
Then, with a low rumble, it spat sothing out.
A weapon shot from its mouth.
It traced a clean arc through the air and stabbed into the ground in front of Zayne.
It was a staff.
A faint golden glow flowed along its surface.
It looked like it held endless power.
Intricate patterns were carved along the shaft.
They resembled flas frozen in motion.
Every detail radiated mystery and nobility.
Zayne froze.
He had not expected the treasure it hid for so long to be a staff.
He quickly checked its stats.
Raging Fla Staff
Rarity Epic
Effect Spirit increased by 50 percent
Skill Raging Inferno
Raging Inferno While wielding the Raging Fla Staff, fire spells consu 30 percent less mana and deal 50 percent more damage
Zayne sucked in a sharp breath.
An epic tier weapon.
No wonder the Treasureback Golden Turtle guarded it so fiercely.
The boost from a single epic item was terrifying.
It was worth more than three high tier items combined.
"If you had cooperated earlier," Zayne said,
"you would not have suffered this much."
He picked up the Raging Fla Staff and swung it casually.
"Fla Blade!"
Absolute Ascension triggered.
Fla Blade upgraded to Infernal Demon Fla Slash.
Zayne swept the staff forward.
Violent power surged at the tip.
A massive vortex of fire ford in an instant.
With a forward thrust, the vortex exploded outward.
It turned into a colossal blade of fire that cleaved ahead with unstoppable force.
The air scread as it split apart.
The ground lted under the heat, leaving behind a long trail of scorched earth.
Infernal Demon Fla Slash was already a Forbidden Spell.
With the Raging Fla Staff boosting its power by 50 percent, it beca absurd.
At Zayne’s level, that strike could instantly kill anything below Level 35.
The Treasureback Golden Turtle’s eyes filled with panic.
It thought Zayne was breaking his promise.
It had already given up the treasure.
And yet he still wanted to kill it.
This attack was impossible to block.
The turtle was never built for combat.
It closed its eyes and waited for death.
At the final mont, the flaming blade stopped.
It halted right in front of the turtle’s face.
The heat alone made its skin feel like it was burning.
"Looks like there really is nothing left in your stomach," Zayne said.
He nodded in satisfaction.
Then he released the restraints and set the Treasureback Golden Turtle down.
Zayne rembered one thing clearly.
If a Treasureback Golden Turtle faced certain death, it would self destruct.
It would destroy both itself and its treasure.
The hunter would get nothing.
This one was on the brink of death and still had not exploded.
That ant it was completely emptied out.
The Treasureback Golden Turtle stood there in a daze.
With its limited brainpower, it could not understand why Zayne looked ready to kill it one second and spared it the next.
But it knew one thing.
It was free.
Overjoyed, the Treasureback Golden Turtle bolted away.
Its speed was far slower than before.
The torture from Zayne and Eva had taken its toll.
"Let’s go," Zayne said.
"We will head out and stop wasting ti here."
He brought Eva to the exit of the Champion Secret Realm.
"What the hell is going on?" soone complained.
"There are still five days left, but there are no monsters anywhere."
"Exactly," another agreed.
"Our team fard the outer area for ten days."
"We went deeper after leveling up."
"There was nothing inside. Just scorched ground."
"Sa here," soone said.
"There are more monsters outside than in the core area."
"That makes no sense."
"Wait for Garen and his group."
"They went back in after recovering."
"They might know what happened."
The crowd buzzed with discussion.
They were talking about the strange changes inside the Champion Secret Realm.
But when they noticed Zayne and Eva, everyone backed away in fear.
They looked like they had seen a demon.
The rumor had spread already.
The person who crushed Garen and over a dozen champions into at paste was this calm looking young man.
No one wanted to experience being pulverized.
No one wanted to be stitched back together afterward.
Zayne ignored them and walked straight to the exit.
"Zayne," Robert said kindly.
"If you leave now, your trial ends."
"There are still five days left."
"Are you sure you want to exit?"
"Yes," Zayne replied.
There were basically no monsters left inside.
There was no reason to stay.
"Alright," Robert said.
"Please register your level."
Zayne displayed his status.
Zayne Forbidden Spellcaster Level 25
Robert inhaled sharply.
"L Level 25?"
He clearly rembered.
Zayne had entered the Champion Secret Realm at Level 18.
That ant Zayne had gained seven levels inside.
In previous years, the highest level anyone reached was Level 24.
Zayne had broken the all ti record.
The commotion quickly drew attention.
People stared at Zayne in shock.
Looking at his level, many of them understood sothing.
The monsters in the inner core did not disappear on their own.
They were probably all killed by him.
At the sa ti, Garen had re entered the realm after recovering.
He planned to use the remaining ti to level up.
A furious roar echoed through the forest.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Why are there no monsters at all?"
