Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 1795

Roar!

At that critical moment, the deafening roar of a dragon tore through the skies.

It was so loud that it could be heard from hundreds of miles away.

The next thing they knew, Fortuna came flying out of Zeke's chest, and the bright light dimmed immediately in its presence.

Sole Wolf and the others were overjoyed to see that Fortuna had awakened once again to protect Zeke from harm.

Fortuna then opened its mouth and bit right through the bright light, severing it and causing it to disappear instantly.

Zeke regained his consciousness as his shadows fused back together, much to the horror of the man behind the statue.

“T-That's impossible! Zeke's consciousness was clearly being suppressed! How could he possibly launch such a powerful attack?”

What he didn't know was the fact that the dragon within Zeke's chest was sentient and could attack on its own.

“Nothing is impossible for me in this world!” Zeke said with a menacing grin.

Attack!

Zeke controlled Fortuna with his mind to attack the statue.

Boom!

Fortuna swiped at the statue with its tail, smashing it to smithereens.

The impact knocked something that was shining brightly inside the statue aside.

A closer inspection revealed that it was a red sandalwood box about the size of a fist.

A man wearing a bronze mask could be seen standing next to Charles behind the statue.

That man was most likely the mastermind behind everything that had happened.

He leaped up in an attempt to snatch the red sandalwood box back, but Zeke was faster as he unleashed a burst of energy that wrapped itself around the box before pulling it toward him.

Having missed his chance, the man gritted his teeth in frustration and grabbed Charles before making a quick escape.

Sole Wolf and the others wanted to give chase, but Zeke stopped them from doing so.

“No need to go after them.”

“Huh? Why?”

They couldn't understand why Zeke would let them escape when he finally had the mastermind within reach.

“Don't worry, they'll come back,” Zeke said.

“Why would they?”

They were still clueless.

Zeke held up the red sandalwood box for everyone to see as he explained, “This is a treasure of Buddhism, so there's no way they'd let it fall into our hands. That man in the bronze mask knows he's no match for us, so he'll come back with reinforcements to take it back. When he does, we'll catch them all in one fell swoop.”

The men then gathered around and stared at the red sandalwood box. “A treasure of Buddhism? It must be something amazing, then! Can you open the box and show us what's inside, Great Marshal?”

Zeke smiled. “I don't see why not!”

A blinding white light was released when he opened the box, and everyone took a moment to adjust to the light before taking a closer look at the content inside.

“It looks like a tiny piece of jade. One of decent quality, though.”

“But it's just a piece of jade, isn't it? Why would Buddhists treat it like some kind of rare treasure?”

“Wait, no... This isn't a jade. Do you guys know what is required in order to perform the Soul Splitter spell?”

“Oh, I know! It's a sarira! Soul Splitter can only be performed with the help of a sarira!”

“This is a sarira? If I recall, that's the most revered holy item of Buddhism! It's so rare that very few Buddhists have it!”

“My goodness, we've struck gold! Hahaha! Well, not exactly gold, but you get the idea. I hear it's made from the cremated ashes of Buddha's physical body himself!”

“Next stop, the Ministry of Sacred. I suspect that the man in the bronze mask is actually Charles' father. He wouldn't have to go so far just to save Charles otherwise,” Zeke said as he placed the sarira back into the box.

“Yes, Sir!”

At this moment, Lacey had woken up from the commotion. She glanced about in confusion and asked, “Huh? What just happened? Why was I asleep?”

Missy, too, opened her eyes and began to sob as she said, “I'm scared, Daddy! I saw a skeleton trying to take my shadow away just now! Hold me, Daddy!”
