Treasure Hunting

"I... I'm here to protect you," Zachary said seriously. He believed that the treasure indicated by the system was either the woman herself or something that she carried with her.

"Protect me? You?" the woman asked Zachary mockingly, as if Zachary had just told her a joke that was not at all funny.

"You do not believe me?" Zachary felt crestfallen. When he first entered the cave, he did notice that the aura of the woman was unusually strong, maybe even stronger than that of Lewis. This confused him. 'If she is really that strong, why is it that she seemed to be trapped in here?' he wondered.

"I was ambushed," the woman said suddenly, as if she could read Zachary's mind.

Zachary felt shivers run down his spine. After a moment of shock, he then probed her, "People's desires are insatiable. Everyone wants your treasure."

"How do you know I have a treasure with me?" the woman asked startled.

"I was just guessing," Zachary said smiling.

"Then you have to die. I originally planned to let you go," the woman said seriously.

"Are you sure you can pull it off?" Zachary said confidently as he smiled and then crossed his arms in front of him. He reasoned that the woman was likely injured. If she was not injured, then she would not be inside the cave. She would have fled instead if she was not injured.

Perhaps she was truly seriously injured, but she didn't need too much effort to kill someone at the Mortal Level. The woman had a golden-orange light radiating from her body.
