Warrior Camp 5
The foreign creatures were ready to strike. I thought I would be forced to use the other inheritance force.
Just as I circulated the blood elent force through my body...
Boom!
The reinforcents from Star University arrived. They attacked the foreign creatures to rescue Zack Lockwood. The attacks landed heavily on the foreign creatures’ bodies.
The foreign creatures retreated, giving an opportunity to escape. I used the blood force to stand up and then moved to the side of the Star University warriors.
I saw they were not from the elental factions, but from other dium- and small-sized factions. No wonder they helped . I thanked them.
The next second, we passed through the barrier and reached the teleportation platform. After we stepped inside, the platform activated.
Swoosh!
The next second, we disappeared from the spot.
On the other hand, the foreign creatures had missed their target. They had no choice but to return to their side.
...
Hidden Space (Foreign Creature Side)
The foreign creature was enraged. Its anger grew. More than a hundred foreign creatures had tried to kill the target, yet the target was able to return unscathed.
The higher-ups would definitely be furious, but the creature had no other choice.
...
Hidden Space (Human Side)
Supervisor Kenny sighed in relief. He had been worried that Zack Lockwood’s life was in danger. As he had guessed, the foreign creatures had managed to encircle Zack.
If not for the tily help from the other Star University warriors, Zack Lockwood would have died. Kenny decided he would recomnd their nas to Dean Jero; they deserved a reward.

Camp 5
When my feet touched the ground, I opened my eyes. We were back in the camp. I thanked the Star University warriors once more.
"If we hadn’t helped you, Dean Jero wouldn’t have spared us," one of them said.
Hearing that, my eyes glinted with understanding. They were afraid of Dean Jero.
I gathered my thoughts and left the teleportation platform, walking toward my tent. There was no one there to bother . Soon, I arrived in front of the tent.
Creak!
I opened the door and went inside. I shut the door and rushed to the cultivation chamber. After entering, I turned on the switch. World energy began filling the room.
I went to the middle of the room and sat cross-legged on the ground. I started running the ancient healing technique and took the healing energy liquid given to by Master Ann.
The healing energy entered my body. It ca into contact with the black energy that was damaging my physique. Upon contact, the black energy was cleared out. I was surprised.
It appeared Master Ann had foreseen the situation. I relaxed, then focused on circulating the healing energy using the ancient, incomplete technique.
The pain decreased over ti. However, I didn’t stop and continued with the circulation.
...
Outside
News of Zack Lockwood’s feat was being discussed everywhere.
Witnesses shared the news with others: Zack Lockwood had faced more than 100 warriors. He had killed more than 50 and injured nurous others.
This included foreign creatures of the Gold Mark level. Many found it hard to believe, but the people spreading the news were not even close to Zack Lockwood.
They were the ones who had led the large number of foreign creatures toward Zack in the first place, though they didn’t ntion that part.
The Bloodline and Elental factions were shocked. They had underestimated him.
Only the warriors from the dium- and small-sized factions knew the truth, but they didn’t dare tell others.
They knew the tension between the Thunderfla Faction and the others.
They had helped Zack Lockwood considering the interests of their own factions. The Dean would take care of them.
...
The Office
Supervisor Kenny was talking to Dean Jero on a call.
"Dean, it was close this ti. The creatures sent more than a hundred warriors to kill Zack Lockwood."
"He was completely encircled. Zack fought bravely, killing most of them and injuring many," Kenny reported.
There was silence on the other end of the call.
"Did the kid use any other thods?" Dean Jero finally asked.
He wanted to know whether Zack Lockwood had used his other inheritance force. He knew Zack had both an ancient inheritance and a bloodline inheritance.
"No, he used purple lightning force. He exhausted his force in the end. Finally, he used brute force to fight for a few minutes. His physique is naturally strong as well," Kenny said.
Dean Jero was surprised. He had underestimated Zack Lockwood’s endurance. He knew that if Zack had used his other inheritance force, he would have wiped out the enemies in no ti.
Kenny then shared the disturbing news.
"Dean, I have to tell you about the conduct of the other warriors. No one helped the kid. In fact, so of the warriors diverted trouble toward him."
"Yesterday, I revealed the fact that the foreign creatures were targeting Zack Lockwood specifically. Because of that, they led the creatures toward him," Kenny said in a grim tone.
"Note down their nas. I will handle it," Jero replied.
"Dean, the Star University warriors from the dium and small factions rescued Zack Lockwood in the end. I hope you will reward them," Kenny requested.
"Okay," Jero replied.
....
The Other Side
On the opposite side of the space barrier sat a dark, oval planet with countless protruding peaks. Among the highest peaks lived the powerhouse foreign creatures.
Countless dium and small peaks surrounded them, where second- and third-level foreign creatures resided.
There were many cities at the bases of these peaks. In one of them, the higher-ups were discussing the battle with the human warriors.
More than winning battles, they prioritized the "killing list."
As long as the warriors on that list were wiped out, the human side would lose its strength. Then, their armies would face no trouble invading further.
However, the creatures knew the ultimate powerhouses of their planet remained silent and hidden.
The human side had top powerhouses as well, but the creatures did not have the authority to access that information.
Even if they won the battles on the front lines, the final outco rested on the top powerhouses of each side.
