Chapter 18: Terrifying Force

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“We meet again, Matthew.”

The young man had a smile on his face and was holding a black book in his hand. His appearance was extremely demonic.

The five people present reacted.

Matthew actually knew this powerful Beast Tamer!

Moreover, the two of them seemed to be quite close, as if they were close friends.

Just as the five of them were happily thinking of asking Matthew to discuss the matter with the young man and not hinder them from obtaining the treasure.

Matthew’s shout stunned them all.

“Heber, [Demon Dragon’s Breath]!”

Heber took a deep breath and roared, releasing a powerful dragon breath.

Whoosh!

A hurricane swept towards the Purgatory Demonic Lion.

The hurricane was sharp, leaving terrifying cracks on the ground and trees in the surroundings.

Matthew smiled grimly at Heber’s attack.

The D-rank Heber had been able to defeat the Purgatory Demonic Lion.

Now that Heber was at C-rank, it was easy for it to defeat the Purgatory Demonic Lion.

The hurricane reached the Purgatory Demonic Lion in an instant.

Matthew could almost see it being sliced into pieces by the [Demon Dragon’s Breath].

However, something unexpected happened.

The scene Matthew imagined of the Purgatory Demonic Lion’s miserable defeat did not appear.

It revealed its sharp claws that shone with cold light and instantly tore the [Demon Dragon’s Breath] apart.

Boom!

The [Demon Dragon’s Breath] spread out and attacked the surroundings, creating a loud noise.

More than 100 thousand meters long cracks appeared on the ground.

A large portion of the trees were blown down.

Such terrifying destructive power was proof of Heber’s strength.

But the Purgatory Demonic Lion was unharmed!

“It’s also C-rank?!”

Matthew was shocked.

However, he soon felt relieved.

There was a terrifying force behind the young man.

Cultivating a C-rank demonic beast was very easy for them.

This made Matthew feel a strong sense of danger.

He needed to search for more resources as soon as possible so that Heber could become stronger and control his own fate!

On the other side, Edith and the others felt very lost.

Why did Matthew attack the youth?

Weren’t they very close friends?

Was there a huge misunderstanding between them?

At the same time, Edith and the others were still amazed by Heber’s power. It could actually cause such a terrifying destructive force with one strike.

“Matthew, you’ve become stronger.”

The young man slowly walked to the Purgatory Demonic Lion’s side. If not for the strange book in his hand, he would probably be clapping just like last time, although who knew what the meaning of his applause was.

“If I hadn’t become stronger, you might have taken me away today.”

Matthew stared hard at the young man as he spoke.

“Hahaha!”

The young man laughed.

He seemed to be happy that Matthew was getting stronger.

But Matthew didn’t think so.

There was something strange about this young man that he could not understand.

If he could, Matthew wished he could defeat the youth now and interrogate him for information.

But after meeting him again, he felt that this youth was definitely not simple.

Even though Heber had advanced to C-rank and its combat power had increased significantly, Matthew was still not confident that he could defeat this young man.

As for Edith and the others, they were even more certain that there was some misunderstanding between Matthew and the young man.

Otherwise, how could a stranger be happy about someone else becoming stronger?

Judging from their attitude, the five of them felt that it was very likely that the youngster had done something that caused Matthew to detest him.

But the young man had hoped from the beginning that the misunderstanding between them would be resolved. Unfortunately, Matthew was unwilling to reconcile with the young man.

The five of them felt that they should enlighten Matthew. That youth was already so sincere.

“Heber…”

Just then, Matthew prepared to let Heber attack again.

Even if he felt that the youth’s strength was hidden very deeply, he still had to fight.

After being reborn into this strange world, he had yet to live an exciting life. How could he be willing to let others manipulate his fate?

But even as Matthew spoke, the young man held up a hand to stop him.

But what the youth said next struck Matthew as odd.

“I won’t take you away.”

The young man opened the strange book in his hand again.

CRACK

A massive spatial rift appeared behind him.

It was large enough to accommodate the hundred-meter-long Purgatory Demonic Lion.

“I hope that the next time we meet, you will still be able to break through as quickly as now.”

The young man did not explain much. After leaving behind a meaningful sentence, he entered the spatial rift with the Purgatory Demonic Lion.

Matthew didn’t stop the young man from leaving because he didn’t have the confidence to defeat him, and he could only allow the latter to leave.

After the spatial rift closed, Matthew finally heaved a sigh of relief.

At the very least, he would not have to face that youth again, and he would not have to worry about him appearing again anytime soon.

In addition, Matthew once again felt the terror of the youth.

More accurately, the power behind the young man was terrifying.

He thought about everything that had happened.

He picked up an extinct divine dragon egg at the edge of the Maar Mountains

He found the mysterious Dark Glazed Amethyst in Dragon God Village.

Everything was so coincidental, as if someone had deliberately arranged it.

However, if it wasn’t for the Godly Treasure Hunting System, Matthew wouldn’t have obtained these two items so easily.

And looking at what happened now, the young man seemed to have known all along that Edith, who had left, would find Matthew, and that he would come and help this group.

But the only thing that made the youth miscalculate might have been the increase in Matthew and Heber’s strength.

Otherwise, Matthew would have been leaving with the young man today.

Such precise calculation shocked Matthew.

Even though he had a Godly Treasure Hunting System, he began to doubt whether he could fight against the youth again.

This time, he was lucky enough to increase his strength. What about next time?

Matthew didn’t dare to imagine whether he would be able to grasp his fate if he didn’t quickly increase his strength.

This made him even more anxious to leave this place and search for more resources.

“Edith.”

Matthew shouted to the side.

Hearing this, Edith immediately strode over to Matthew.

“What is it?”

Because she knew Matthew’s identity as a Dragon Knight, her attitude changed greatly. Her tone became very gentle and no longer had the arrogance of a noble.

The nobles of ordinary cities could not be arrogant in front of powerful Dragon Knights.

“What about the reward you mentioned?”

Matthew said coldly.

Right now, he wanted that treasure to increase his strength faster.

“Hold on, I’ll tell them.”

Edith had no intention of breaking her promise.

Matthew nodded.

No matter what, it was a treasure that they had found.

It was only right for Edith to inform them.

So Edith trotted back.

However, Matthew soon saw that the expressions of the four people nearby had become rather unsightly.
