“Today, I shall have your head! Kill him!”
Camul then led the Four Guardians in a charge against Zeke.
Zeke continued to wear a smirk on his face as he thought the quintet grossly overestimated themselves.
When they neared, Zeke extended both hands with palms presented.
Planetary Pull!
The massive gravitational pull unleashed from his palms integrated with the energies of Camul and the Four Guardians before being sucked back into his body.
“Ah!”
The ensuing surge of pain caused the five to cry out in agony.
What's going on here? Why are our inner forces being drained by Zeke? Not just our inner force and energy, but our very life itself!
They could distinctively feel their own energies being sapped.
What manner of cursed witchery is this?
Even if it was only for a fleeting instant, all of the demoralized men felt the impulse to flee.
However, at such close proximity, the power of the pull was not something they were able to resist.
“Someone, save me...” Camul howled.
The three hundred martial artists that he brought along were shellshocked as they could not see the inner force and energy that was being drained from him.
All they could see of the five men was them stopping short of two meters from Zeke before starting to quiver as though they were subjected to an electric shock.
It was only after they heard Camul's cries for help that they came back to their senses and ventured forth in an attempt to aid him.
Zeke's Planetary Pull was effective against all martial artists, not just King Class warriors.
Hence, the would-be helpers were sucked in without exception when they neared, and their inner force, too, was also absorbed by Zeke.
The blood-curdling screams coming out of the lips of three hundred martial artists were spectacularly deafening.
After having their life drained by the Planetary Pull, Hound, Fourth Lord, and the others who were already heavily wounded from before soon perished.
It was fortunate that Alfred and the other residents were standing behind Zeke, as they remained impervious to its effects.
As the minutes passed, more and more of the average martial artists fell to the ground dead after they had their inner and life forces bled dry.
In less than ten minutes, all three hundred of them laid lifeless on the ground.
Only Camul and his four Archdukes continued to hang on, but it was apparent from their expressions that they were on their last legs as well.
When one of the Four Guardians finally crumbled into a husk, Zeke upped the intensity of the Planetary Pull to bring this battle to a swift conclusion.
Just then, ten silhouettes raced toward him.
“We implore you to stay your hand, Mr. Williams.”
Those who approached were all members from Azure Dragon and of the King Class.
“What's this about?” Zeke did not hold back as he asked this of them.
“We've made some discoveries about Sole Wolf and Killer Wolf, Mr. Williams,” they said.
“All the clues led us to Camul. It was he who had taken Sole Wolf and those with him.”
Huh?
Zeke immediately relinquished his hold, sending Camul and the remaining three foes crashing to the floor with resounding thumps.
Alive but barely, the way they regarded Zeke now was with a look of fear.
“C-Could what you've unleashed just now be Planetary Pull, the forbidden technique of legend?”
Zeke nodded slightly in affirmation, leaving Camul and the others with him to close their eyes in despair.
