Can I Keep It?

Grey and his friends were the first group to escape from the field so they didn't have a chance to see the beast when it went on a killing rampage. But from how terrifying the roar was, he was sure the beast was at least at the peak of the Origin Plane, or it had even reached the Overlord Plane. There was no way they could defend against something that strong.

But what kept puzzling him was the fact that the beast only came out after they defeated the nine protectors.

Could it be that it was supposed to be another challenge for them, and after defeating it they wouldn't only get the nine drops of the Great Earth Essence Liquid but also all the treasures in the palace as well?

If that was its purpose, then the expert who made this place wouldn't expect there would be the anomaly called Void. Had it not been for Void, then there was no way Grey and his group would have been able to obtain anything.

As it stands, they were the ultimate winners.
