The students continued to fight amongst themselves, each one desperate to claim the treasure for themselves. The Thunderfly King, with its newfound intelligence and cunning, took advantage of the distraction, weaving through the crowd with ease.
But Adrian was already one step ahead...
With the cloak concealing his movements, he slipped through the chaos unnoticed, his eyes fixed on the glowing form of the Luminous Root.
As the Thunderfly King reached out to grab the treasure, Adrian made his move. With a swift and silent step, he darted forward and snatched the Luminous Root from the ground before the monster could lay its claws on it.
Not wanting to repeat Ardel and Kairen's mistake, he quickly stored it in his golden storage ring. Then, he quickly retreated from the scene, not wanting to deal with the Thunderfly King again after being discovered.
'Let's find the others and leave quickly.'
