Odyssey Monster Zone,
The actions of the super-elite warriors didn't go unnoticed under Lowell & Jonathan's eyes. For them, these super elite warriors were 5 bigger ants. You can crush them anytime you want.
So Lowell McClain didn't mind their little calculations. If they dare to cross their line, he won't mind erasing them. Also, he already noted down their expressions.
Especially the super elite warriors from the eclipse academy and the giant tower. He will put them back in their place later. But right now his attention is focused on the middle of the monster zone.
His eyes easily saw difficulties of Zack. Especially when Zack released the lightning power to escape, he sensed the changes.
A deadly mutation is occurring in a dark swamp, causing the swamp water to be more poisonous and corrosive.
He also realized that not everything was under the control of Crimson Hall. They carelessly played with the environment of this monster zone. Because of it, unknown changes were starting to take place in the dark swamp.
His eyes flickered with a slight glint. The competition is coming to an end. So he feels there is no need to interfere right now.
But after the competition, he made up his mind to collect a sample of the dark swamp.
At the same time, his servant Jonathan is watching everything silently. He is waiting for his master's order. If his master signals him, he is ready to take the life of these super elite warriors.
Meanwhile,
The super-elite warriors were clueless about the impending danger. Rather they had decided to join hands together to prevent Mike Smith from taking away Zack Lockwood.
...
(From MC's perspective)
Sitting under a giant shade tree, I looked at the vast sky. The competition is coming to an end in a few hours. I don't know how many people will survive in the end. Thinking about the possible numbers, I sighed inwardly.
Suddenly the image of a beautiful figure comes to mind. She is none other than Maria Frazier. I wonder how she is doing. Is she alive?
The next moment, I shook my head. Her clan is quite strong. They must have provided her with life-saving items. There is a possibility of survival.
Then I waited for the competition to come to an end. The changes in the dark swamp already made me quite scared. It can pose a threat to elite-level warriors. It made me cautious not to barge into other places.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
A few hours later,
The loud announcement spread throughout the entire monster zone. Hearing that, I got up from the ground and rushed in the southern direction.
Evening, 5 P.M
I reached the outskirts of the southern area. The exit gate is located half a mile from here. So I will be there soon.
Swish!
Suddenly, three female silhouettes appeared on the opposite side. Seeing that, I paused my movement for a moment.
"Ella Downs" "Sallie Mills" and "Maria Frazier" I mumbled under my breath. I didn't expect these three to group together.
Especially after the recent turmoil in the red city. It's natural for Maria to not join them. The next moment, my eyes gleamed with a twinkle.
Perhaps, the hybrid monsters and extreme conditions out here changed their mindset.
By this time, the other survivors who hid near the southern exit gate also started to appear. My gaze immediately shifted to them. Seeing their almost unscathed body and armor, I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
Looking at their appearance, I realized they didn't even leave this place. To survive, they chose to hide near the gate.
Coincidentally, I saw Maria and others looking at me right now. Ella Downs and Sallie Mills revealed shocked expressions on their faces. And Maria revealed a small smile on her face.
Seeing that, I nodded my head in response. But I couldn't help but think about other crimson hall members.
What happened to them? My gaze then immediately swept past the surroundings. But I see no sign of crimson hall's warriors.
Then shaking my head, I walked toward the giant gate.
Meanwhile,
Sky Tower,
The atmosphere inside the sky tower again shifted to freezing point.
When the announcement was made. Everyone got up from their seats. Teresa York seemed impatient. Not only her the other 5 super elite warriors are looking at one particular screen.
Where the image of Zack can be seen. He is walking towards the exit along with other seed candidates.
"Let's catch him before he realizes something," Teresa said in a cold tone.
Autumn Holt shook her head helplessly.
Eduard Ortega clenched his big fist. Which sent a shock wave around him.
"Wait for a while, that kid won first place. We will catch him when arrives to collect his reward," Harvey Kim said with a smile.
He already calculated how to catch this kid without making much fuss. Because he gives more importance to the reputation of the academy.
Now the kid was watched by millions of people. And everyone knows that he is the final winner. If Zack fails to appear on the screen to get his winning reward.
Then people will suspect them eventually. He doesn't want such a scene to happen.
At the same, June Shelton gave a small applause. He is once again surprised by Harvey Kim's quick thinking. Now they can watch the kid die silently.
A hint of clarity appeared in Teresa's eyes. She almost forgot about the rewards. Suddenly, a hint of realization dawned upon her.
The reward for 1st place in this competition is an unknown elemental seed.
The unknown elemental seed is an expensive treasure. And the exact value can't be evaluated because of its lack of details.
The reason it's placed in a reward section is because of its damaged origin. Otherwise, the research people would have got this item by any means possible.
But now it has become cheap for this brat. Then thinking about the brat's end, she revealed a smile on her face.
Eduard Ortega eases his fist. Harvey's words made some sense. Right now everyone is looking forward to seeing Zack.
Subconsciously, everyone avoided seeing Mike Smith.
Meanwhile,
Mike Smith laughed coldly in his heart. These people are overestimating themselves. Shaking his head, he set his gaze on the screen.
Outside,
Cheer!
When I walked outside. I heard a loud cheer among the audience who were waiting outside.
There were all forces related to the survivors. But soon some of the seed candidates broke down. Those who were injured were taken to the emergency click.
Except for a few who went into a hide. Almost everyone has suffered some kind of injury. So the commotion quieted down quickly.
But the live broadcast has not stopped. Until the award ceremony, it is going to continue. Suddenly, I noticed Maria is greeted by her clan members.
Sallie and Ella Downs were quickly taken by their clan members as well. Seeing that, a quick glint flash in my eyes. Because there is no sign of other crimson hall members yet.
"So they are killed as well," I mumbled under my breath. But it's a pity, they didn't die in my hands.
Shaking my head, I decided to find some room to freshen up. I believe that the next announcement would come up short.
But before I could do that, the path was blocked by people.
There are plenty of people who want to see my face right now. Because of the security arrangements made by the event organizer.
The crowd can't break them. Hearing the loud chant of my name. I feel sudden dizziness. What to do now?
Beep!
Suddenly my watch lit up with a notification. Seeing that it was a message from Jonathan, I sighed in relief. After reading the message, a hint of relief flashed in my eyes.
Jonathan wants me to come to the backside of the administration building. After knowing that, I changed my route and walked toward the administration building right next to me.
I walked past the staff and quickly arrived backside of the administration building. Seeing the face of the familiar person, I smiled in response.
"Zack," Jonathan uttered. The next moment, he grabbed Zack's shoulder and disappeared from the spot.
After a few seconds, the staff who followed Zack stood in disbelief.
At the same time, Jonathan dropped Zack on top of the sky tower.
Swish!
I landed on the ground slowly. But the smile on my face didn't disappear. Looks like Jonathan forgot that I can still fly because I'm an elite-level warrior now.
Jonathan also quickly realized his mistake and let out a small laugh, "Ha...Ha....Ha..."
"You are an elite-level warrior now. I still remember the helpless face of a special trainee warrior back then, " He said with a sigh.
How long has it been? Zack's astonishing growth rate surprised him a lot. Then after pushing these unnecessary thoughts back off his mind. He shifted his attention back to the main topic.
The super-elite warriors made up their minds to kill Zack. So Zack should know about them before accepting the reward.
