Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1731

Zeke frowned. That's my shadow? This is the first time I've heard about that. And they actually created another human using a mere shadow and gave it sentience and free will? Is that even possible?

Zeke continued, “Who's your godfather, then?”

Warren answered impatiently, “Sorry, but I can't tell you that. That's top secret. Now I'm going to replace you and enjoy your life. Members of the Fourth Branch, heed my call!”

Quasar and the Fourth Branch warriors answered, “We're here, Sir.”

The snake-dragon stuck its tongue out, heeding Warren's call.

Warren ordered, “Kill him! Kill him at all costs!”

“Your wish is my command, Sir. Men, kill him!”

Quasar led his team and charged toward Zeke.

Zeke wouldn't just stand there and do nothing, of course. The moment they launched their attack, he started retaliating. Zeke knew he had to win at all costs. If he lost, Warren would take his place as Eurasia's Great Marshal. If that came to pass, Eurasia's Fortuna would dwindle away into nothingness.

It was a fierce battle. The enemy had three Ultimate Class warriors and an injured King Class warrior—Quasar.

Quasar might be injured, but even so, his strength still rivaled that of the best Ultimate Class warrior. In other words, Zeke had to fight four top-tier Ultimate Class warriors all by himself.

Zeke maintained his highest level of output throughout the battle, but he suffered heavy damage to sustain that level of power. Nevertheless, he managed to stall his enemy, and the battle turned into a stalemate for a while.

Warren was only standing on the sidelines, commenting, “You're far more powerful than I thought you'd be, Zeke. I have to say, your power is a useful asset. Let's make a deal. You work under me, and I'll spare your life.”

“Piss off!” Zeke roared and hurled a few needles at him.

The needles caught Warren by surprise. They pierced him, and that angered him. “You b*stard! I offered you my hand, and you spat in it. Men, kill him!”

Quasar and his team became even more violent and aggressive. They would stop at nothing to kill Zeke, and they were getting close to their goal. Zeke was slowly getting weaker, and their attacks were starting to get through.

He was outnumbered by a mile. There was no way he could close that gap.

Just when he was fighting the enemies, the snake-dragon suddenly leaped up and crashed into Zeke. The impact was enough to break a mountain in half, let alone a mortal.

Zeke was sent flying into the mountain of corpses. The moment he landed, Warren yelled at the mages, “Well, don't just stand there. Trap him!”

“Understood!” The mages went over to the altar and started chanting their spell. As they performed the incantation, the mountain of corpses released a huge amount of Fortuna and formed four walls of Fortuna that surrounded the mountain of corpses.

Zeke was in the middle of it, so naturally, he was surrounded by the Fortuna walls as well. He struggled to get up and break free of the prison, but it was too powerful and sturdy to break. No matter what he did, he just couldn't penetrate it.

Warren mocked, “The walls are made of Eurasia's Fortuna. It contains the faith energy of a billion people. If you can break it, you can break anything in the world.”

“I'll have to break it even if it's the last thing I do!” Zeke clenched his fists and expended his life force to bring forth a power that far exceeded his class.

The punch's force exceeded the limits of what an Ultimate Class warrior could do, but the explosion didn't even break the walls. Not even its shock wave could travel out. All it managed to do was crack the walls a little, but even that was patched up quickly enough.

Zeke knew that there was no hope of breaking free.
