Ancient Tears BloodLine

From MC's perspective:

Odyssey Monster Zone,

After my turn, the other seed candidates submitted their monster cores. Feeling the gazes around me, I remained silent.

As the time gets closer, I see the expression on the person from the crimson hall getting brighter.

Does he know? I couldn't help but think of Jonathan's words. My eyes flickered with a cold glint. But the next second it recovered back to normal.

Time passed,

When everyone submitted their monster cores, the final rankings were listed and shown on the screen. My eyes set on the 1st place and then followed other names.

Looking at the number of points in the 2nd position. My mouth curved into an arc. "Someone managed to achieve 2000 points," I mumbled under my breath.

The people must have hailed from a strong background. Then after taking a glance at other rankings, I recovered back to my usual position.

It's strange, there is no name of three girls in the top 10. But I know they are stronger than average warriors. Maybe the majority of them in the top 10 rankings might have looted the monster cores from other warriors.

Meanwhile, the staff came forward and stated the top 10 will get the prize from the hands of the representatives from the different academies.

Hearing the announcement, I sighed inwardly. The time has come. Don't know how many will survive at the hands of Jonathan?

Right after, the staff told the top 10 warriors to follow the event head. He is none other than the person from Crimson Hall. The person named Casey looked at me with an evil grin on his face.

If I wasn't aware of his real face, I must have believed this person is genuinely happy for me. Ignoring his evil grin, I followed him to the top floor.

The rest of the seed candidates quietly followed me from behind.

When we reach the top floor. I slowly walked into the room. But the next moment, I feel a terrifying malicious intent.

My expression changes drastically. When I raised my head to see. I see six strong warriors seated next to each other.

"Strong," I said in my heart. No doubt, the strong presence of these people tells me that all of them were above the Elite level.

And that level is called Super Elite.

A small sweat bead appears on my forehead. From Jonathan's words, I knew except one other 5 Super Elite Warriors wanted me dead.

And the strong malicious intent comes from the burly figure. The heavily built middle-aged man is looking at me with red eyes.

I think if not for the occasion, he wouldn't have patiently sat on the seat.

Meanwhile, the super-elite warrior scrutinizes Zack as well.

Mike Smith from the Saw Scale Viper Academy was impressed by seeing Zack's calm temperament. He believes such a temperament comes from inner confidence.

Recalling Zack's teacher, a hint of envy flashes in his eyes but it's for a moment before it disappears.

On the other hand, Teresa York observed Zack's expression. Seeing there is no hint of fear on Zack's face, she is quite surprised.

At this time, she looked at Mike's reaction. Seeing his calm, made her even more confused. How come the other party is so calm and composed?

Shouldn't he step toward saving Zack's life? She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.

Harvey Kim revealed a bright smile on his face. He knows that the event is going live. So he didn't reveal malicious intent carelessly like Eduard Ortega.

Only Autumn Holt and June Shelton remained quiet and looked at everything silently.

Meanwhile,

Lowell McClain already arrives above the dark swamp. Looking at the dark swamp from mid-air, his eyes flickered with a slight glint.

He just needs to collect the sample. Later, he can do all the testing back in his home. Then he slowly descended to the ground and proceeded to collect some samples.

He didn't worry about other things. Because Jonathan is capable of handling other Super Elite Warriors. Now his attention is entirely on the contamination.

He wants to know how the mutation works ? Apart from him, no one is aware of such changes.

Meanwhile,

The staff began to announce the winner's name.

And the person who is going to present the award is none other than Super Elite Warrior from Red Moon Tower, Teresa York.

Teresa York got up from the seat and walked forward. She didn't expect that she is going to present the unknown seed.

After arriving in front of the camera, she is ready to present the prize.

On the other hand, my face looked calm but my heart was not calm at all. I don't know when Jonathan will barge here to save me.

I think these people won't do anything before the live camera. But once the live telecast comes to an end. They will act for sure.

Suddenly, the staff uttered my name.

Click!

The sounds of the camera clicking appeared louder all of a sudden. People behind the camera zoomed in on Zack's image.

"Sigh"

I let out a small sigh before walking forward in front of everyone's gazes. When I stood opposite the Super Elite Warrior named Teresa York.

I subconsciously felt tremendous pressure. Thankfully, I'm an Elite Warrior. I don't know what will happen. If it's someone else.

Teresa's eyes gleamed with a twinkle. She released a fraction of a pressure unknowingly. But Zack didn't suffer any disadvantage.

Teresa knows if it were an ordinary warrior, he would have suffered a few broken bones.

But right now there is no time for such thinking. Because the staff brought the prize. It is a golden box.

Seeing that she retracted her thoughts and focussed on the present event. When the staff handed over the treasure, she took it from the staff.

On the other hand, my eyes gleamed with twinkles seeing the golden box. Huge expectations rose in my heart. The important moment has arrived.

I participated in this competition for the 1st prize. Earlier, the teacher told me about treasure. He said the prize is more suitable for me. I can't wait to see what's inside the box.

In front of everyone, I received the golden box. After receiving it, I stored the Golden box in my storage ring.

Next, I stepped backward and let other people receive the reward. I turned around and walked toward the exit.

But suddenly I paused, the elder from Crimson Hall blocking my path. "This guy?" My eyes flickered with a cold glint.

What to do? Then I turned around and returned to my previous position, standing together with other seed candidates.

Seeing that first elder Casey revealed an evil grin on his face.

Meanwhile, Eduard Ortega sneered inside. He doesn't know what's with the event organizer. His deliberate action is helping them. From the beginning, his eyes never left the sight of Zack Lockwood.

Time passed,

One by one other seed candidates got their prizes. The live broadcast comes to an end.

With that, the competition comes to a formal end as well. Right after that, other seed candidates and event staff began to leave the room.

Seeing that, I am also looking forward to leaving. But before I could do that I heard a strong voice from behind.

"Zack Lockwood, wait for a second," Mike Smith said all of sudden. His words surprised everyone.

I turned around and looked at the person.

"Hi, Zack. I'm Mike Smith from the Saw Scale Viper Academy," Mike Smith said.

Hearing that, a hint of relief flashes in my eyes.

Before I could reply, the other super-elite warriors surrounded us in a blink of an eye.

Seeing that my expression changes drastically. The worst thing has happened. When I looked around, except other seed warriors and staff had already left the room.

So there was no more live broadcast. Seeing the changes Mike Smith didn't get flustered. Rather he is waiting for a certain person to barge in.

Instead of looking at the warriors, I looked through the window. Jonathan, where are you? I don't want to get attacked by the super-elite warriors.

Meanwhile, seeing the reactions of these two. Teresa got alarmed. The unknown feeling in her heart is starting to get heavier. From the beginning, she knows something is wrong.

Now seeing their relaxed look from them. She realized there must be some kind of backup.

Swish!

All of a sudden, tremendous pressure appeared. The 5 super elite warriors felt humongous pressure weighing on them.

Boom!

Before they could think five of them were crushed to the ground. What? Harvey Kim exclaimed in horror.

Pfff!

Coughing up blood, again he fell and lay down on the ground.

Teresa York's pupil constricts in disbelief. She wasn't able to lift her body. The pressure is so huge that she can't tilt her head.

Feeling that, she looked at Zack and Mike Smith in horror. Her assumption became true. These guys have a strong backup. So strong that even super-elite warriors were pale in comparison.
