Of all the people Zich had thought might stand up for him, he never expected it to be Kane, as the latter had shown his clear dislike for him.
In truth, Zich had already sensed Adrian's intentions, and sooner or later, even before Kane acted, he would have defended himself.
Of course, he didn't get emotional just because Kane had stopped Adrian's attack. If anything, he was even more curious to know the beast tamer's intentions for doing this.
Kane stood beside the heavily wounded Golden Armored Lion, his expression grim.
"I still don't like this guy."
He raised his eyes toward Adrian.
"But he won this Trial Mark right in front of all of us. You want one? Then go fight for one yourself at the next Beast Altar."
Adrian tightened his grip around his dagger.
But before either side could make another move, a grand system announcement suddenly resounded throughout the entire Myriad Beast Mountain.
[The Second Ancient Beast Altar has awakened.]
[Region: Bone Mist Swamp.]
