The hidden treasure of the Desolate Wastes had finally revealed itself!
The dunecrab, usually so proud and dismissive of humans, suddenly froze in place, its massive body coming to a halt.
Timothy's gaze sent a chill down its spine.
For the first time, it felt like it was nothing more than prey.
"Beast Monarch Essence… Beast Monarch Essence… what a treasure."
Timothy muttered the words over and over, licking his lips as he slowly advanced.
His eyes were filled with greed and hunger.
"What… what is he planning to do? That's the Beast Monarch of Ocean's Gate! It could crush us with a single step if it wanted to!"
Thalric and the other middle-aged practitioners were completely dumbfounded.
The dunecrab was just as stunned.
It stared blankly at the human approaching, an unfamiliar sense of fear creeping up inside it.
That greedy look in Timothy's eyes—it was as if he wanted to devour the crab whole.
The dunecrab's face flushed with embarrassment.
