Jackson commanded, “I now order you to kill Zeke Williams. You'll die today if he doesn't!”
At his order, the four Ultimate Class elders moved forward, jumped off the cliff, and landed around Zeke. “Bring it on.”
“You've got the nerve challenging me. I'll kill all of you today!” Zeke announced.
Then, he released a burst of energy, sending Ares and the others out of the range of their battle.
The battle among Ultimate Class warriors was not something that the King Class warriors could take part in, as the shockwaves from any of their attacks would be fatal.
When one lunged forward, the battle between Zeke and the four Ultimate Class elders began.
During the fight, Zeke found that his opponents were holding back.
It seemed that there was still a shred of sanity left in them, and hence they were reluctant to work for Netherworld.
Therefore, Zeke kept provoking them by calling them names, such as traitors, renegades, and defectors.
And each time, his words would touch a nerve in them, causing them to regain an ounce of sanity and stop attacking him.
Upon seeing their hesitation, Jackson berated, “Hey, why are you holding back? Are you trying to challenge Netherworld's authority? I will report this matter to the leader, and you'll be punished. Now, stop holding back and kill Zeke!”
Jackson's apparition released a burst of negative energy, which was then injected into the bodies of the four Ultimate Class elders.
The shred of sanity they had just regained was lost again, so they began to attack Zeke in full force.
Being attacked by four Ultimate Class elders at once, Zeke found it hard to hold out and was losing the upper hand.
At that critical juncture, Nameless suddenly knelt on the ground and cried, “As the servant of the Carter outer sect, I, Nameless, am honored to meet you, sir. The head of the Carter sect, Jaime Carter, often teaches us that the foundation of our sect is integrity, which is inherited from you, the elder of the Carter family! To us, you are our totem of integrity, and your refusal to surrender to the enemy is our motto. But now, you've kneeled, submitted yourself to our enemy, and be enslaved by them! You do not deserve to be the elder of the Carter family, nor are you worthy of our respect!”
Nameless' speech worked like magic as the initially glassy eyes of the Carter family's elder cleared up, and a look of anger gradually appeared on his expressionless face.
Suddenly, he threw a punch at Nameless.
The massive energy that the punch carried toppled the latter over.
The older man rebuked, “How dare you insult me!”
Instead of being angered, Nameless was delighted as it showed that the elder had regained some of his senses.
Seeing that it did the trick, he continued to provoke him.
Zeke could also tell that the attack from the elder of the Carter family was getting weaker.
He even gave up several chances to take his life.
Seeing that, Jackson was livid.
“You insolent, how dare you go easy on him! This is blatant disobedience to my order and an act of betrayal to Netherworld! If you continue to hold back, I'll impose heavy punishment on you on behalf of Netherworld!”
With that, Jackson injected a burst of negative energy into the body of the Carter family's elder.
Again, the elder lost the minuscule trace of sanity and went all out to attack Zeke, putting a lot of pressure on him.
