The powerful suction depleted all of his inner force right there and then.
The dark figure fell to the ground and lay there, completely motionless.
He did not even have time to utter a single sound.
Alfred gasped. “The Planetary Pull is indeed terrifying!”
D*mn it!
Old Skeleton immediately yelled to the other figure in the west, “Quick! Run! They have two King Class warriors. You are no match for them. Run back and get reinforcements!”
The dark figure turned pale with fright and started to run.
Alfred roared, “Hmph! Where do you think you are going? It's time for you to die!”
He gave chase without any hesitation.
Meanwhile, Zeke jumped off the rooftop and observed the person whom he had just sucked the inner force from.
After taking in his inner force, Zeke did not notice a significant increase in his own power.
Hmm, seems like this fellow is just an ordinary warrior, and his inner force is too little to be of any use to me.
After what Zeke had done to him, there was no sign of life left in him.
Zeke turned on the light and looked at the guy carefully.
The person was painfully thin. In fact, he was much thinner than Old Skeleton himself.
The outlines of his body and face were distinct. He looked neither like a human nor a ghost and gave off an eerie feel.
Zeke gasped.
What kind of place is the Netherworld?
Why do all of its people look like this?
No wonder they are as light as feathers.
It turns out they are way too thin.
Not long after, Alfred returned.
With an apologetic look, he said, “I'm sorry, Mr. Williams. I failed to catch up with him, and he has escaped.”
Zeke was equally disappointed. “It doesn't matter. Forget it.”
In reality, the two of them had deliberately let the other Netherworld person leave.
Their objective was to get him to beckon more warriors to come so that Zeke could suck their inner force.
However, Old Skeleton had no inkling about their plan.
Instead, he threatened, “The two of you had better release me. If not, when the Netherworld army comes, you guys will be dead meat! Netherworld knows that you have two King Class warriors. They will certainly send a minimum of five King Class warriors to take your lives. You will die for sure when that happens!”
Old Skeleton had no idea about the existence of Azure Dragon.
The reason being When Zeke met the Azure Dragon, Old Skeleton was still unconscious.
If he knew there were fifty King Class warriors and hundreds of Archdukes, he would never ask the Netherland army to come and rescue him.
Zeke said calmly, “Netherworld is the public enemy of Eurasia. If an enemy attacks us, why should we surrender without a fight? I will kill whoever that comes from the Netherworld!”
Old Skeleton laughed out arrogantly. “Since you want to die, I'll grant you your wish! Tonight will be your last!”
Paying no heed to Old Skeleton's words, Zeke and Alfred continued to wait on the rooftop.
Past midnight, there was a gale, and the trees started swaying violently.
The temple in the village toppled because of the strong wind.
Amid the wind, wails and cries could be heard approaching them.
The sounds sent chills up everyone's spines.
It felt like the calm before the storm.
Old Skeleton got excited. “My Netherworld army is here! And judging by the look of it, there are at least six King Class warriors! Are you ready to meet your end? Haha! Today, I'm going to eat your flesh and drink your blood!”
He sounded extremely arrogant.
Amidst the howling wind, a man's voice could be heard saying, “Old Skeleton, we've finally found you!”
Old Skeleton became extremely excited. “Haha! Finally, all of you are here! Quick! Kill these two!”
However, in the next moment, he glared in Alfred's direction and uttered, “No, wait. Kill that one first! I want to kill the other one with my own hands!”
