Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1729

The creature's body really did resemble that of a giant dragon.

Zeke's eyes trailed along the body of the creature to its head.

The dragon's head was slowly emerging from the depths of the black fog.

Zeke's heart was racing.

What exactly is this creature?

Its head was the size of a house, and its eyes were the size of a large pond. Any small movement that it made could cause a huge upheaval in the atmosphere.

However, the head did not resemble that of a dragon; it was the head of a snake.

Two tiny horns protruded from the snake's head.

The sight of the creature reminded Zeke of the stories of dragons in his childhood days.

It was a popular Eurasia myth about a mythical beast that was half-snake and half-dragon. It was said that the beast could evolve itself into a dragon.

The two tiny horns on his head were evidence enough. It would not take long for those tiny horns to grow into fully-fledged dragon horns. Then, the creature would evolve into a proper dragon.

The snake-dragon did not notice Zeke, its huge head hovering above the mountain of corpses, and inhaled deeply.

Zeke could feel a strong gust of wind flow through the mountain of corpses and the two altars on either side and, finally, into the body of the snake-dragon through its wide nostrils.

The energy in the air...

Zeke had a sudden revelation. Horror crossed his face. He quickly shut his eyes and concentrated.

The energy flowing from the mountain of corpses felt strangely familiar.

Fortuna! This is Fortuna!

All these corpses were Eurasian soldiers. Together, they generated Fortuna.

The snake-dragon was feeding on the energy of Eurasia. It was no wonder that it grew into such a behemoth.

Zeke finally understood the secret of Bloodshot Valley and the mountain of corpses.

They are stealing Eurasia's Fortuna!

Zeke was enraged. He released an Invincible Wave Energy, cutting off the flow of the Fortuna into the beast.

The snake-dragon had been happily gorging itself on the Fortuna. It became furious when the flow of the energy was suddenly cut off.

Its eyes burned red with fury. It turned its massive head this way and that.

When it finally found Zeke, it roared angrily and charged toward him.

It opened its mouth wide and tried to swallow Zeke in one bite.

Zeke immediately hovered in the air with his Invincible Wave Energy. He held himself level to the snake-dragon's head, then released a slew of Ammo Needles.

The Ammo Needles became even more powerful when combined with Zeke's energy. They flew sharply and straight into the snake-dragon's left eye.

Blood spurted out of its wounded eyes. It squeezed its eyes shut against the pain and tumbled from the sky toward the ground, thrashing and roaring in pain.

When the snake-dragon finally hit the ground, the entire valley shook from the impact. It felt like an earthquake.

The shaking ground alerted all the other men at the bottom of that valley.

“Who dared trespass into my Bloodshot Valley?” a voice roared from a cave to the left of the mountain of corpses.

A large group of men emerged from the depths of the cave, all enraged.

The leader of the group was a lean-bodied young man dressed in a hooded cloak that hid his face.

The men following behind him all exuded strength and power. There must be at least two men of the Ultimate Class in that group.

The last person to emerge from the cave was the very person Zeke had been seeking. Quasar!

Quasar looked much better than before.

The skin and flesh on his face were growing back.

However, his body still looked beaten and bloody, as if he had just been flayed.

He was far from his peak form.

The leader in the cloak did not say a word. As soon as he emerged from the cave, he rushed straight toward the snake-dragon to bandage its wounds.

The snake-dragon had been in an irritable, snappy mood. However, as soon as the young man approached it, it immediately turned quiet and docile.

“My, oh my, Zeke. I didn't expect you to chase us all the way here,” Quasar said with a sneer. “Looks like I have underestimated your courage.”

“If I'm not mistaken, this is part of the Netherworld,” Zeke said coldly.

“You are correct,” Quasar replied. “This is the Fourth Branch of the Netherworld.”

Zeke clenched his right fist tightly.

Bright energy burst from his fist and took the shape of the Dragon King Sword.
