Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2008

Erwen's boldness was greater than that of an average person.

Jeremiah was so emotional that he almost lost control. “Ridiculous! Childish! Shameless! You're supposed to be the holiest and purest virgin, Holy Maiden! You are the representation of our entire clan! And now... You don't deserve to be our Holy Maiden!”

The clan members agreed with the sentiment and asked Erwen to be rid of her Holy Maiden status.

Erwen spoke. “I don't need you all to do it. I'll relinquish the title of Holy Maiden myself. Additionally, I'm willing to exchange my life for Mona's as repentance.”

The clan members were confused. “What do you mean by exchanging lives?”

“Mona was indeed given the Killing Worm from the Black Muraco Clan, but the worm doesn't actually kill someone. It only makes them enter a comatose state that mimics death. If treatment isn't given to her within twenty-four hours, then she would die for real. Only the Soul Blood can save her.” She then slammed a palm on her chest and caused herself to cough out a drop of blood.

That was her Soul Blood.

The clan members were shaken.

Every member of the Muraco Clan would cultivate three drops of Soul Blood since they were young. They represented the individual's life force.

If someone lost all three drops of their Soul Blood, then that person would die.

Thus, when Erwen used her Soul Blood to save Mona, it basically meant that she was using her life to save Mona's.

There were some who couldn't bear to see it happen.

However, they didn't stop Erwen as she must atone with her life for what she had done.

After she fed her Soul Blood to Mona, life returned to the girl's face.

At the same time, Erwen's face became as pale as snow. She looked far weaker than she was a second ago.

Just as she was about to take out another one of her Soul Blood, Zeke stopped her. “Let me do it. I can save Mona's life.”

She smiled bitterly. “You aren't a member of the Muraco Clan. Without Soul Blood, you can't save Mona.”

“Who said she can only be saved by using Soul Blood? Your Soul Blood breathed life into her once more, which is enough for my medical skills to do the rest.”

Doubt was written all over her face. “I know you're trying to be nice, Mr. Williams, but this is a matter of life and death. I can guarantee her safety.”

“How sure are you that you can save her?”

“About sixty percent.”

“I'm ninety percent sure I can save her without the use of any sacrifice.”

Erwen was incredibly skeptical of his claim.

Even if it was just a standard complicated disease, doctors wouldn't even say that they were ninety percent sure they could succeed.

Therefore, it was hard for her to believe him when Mona was in a comatose state.

Zeke urged, “Trust me. I never do anything I'm not confident about.”

Glancing at his serious expression, she determined that he wasn't joking.

She carefully handed Mona's body to him.

For some reason, he made her feel at ease, and she trusted him.

However, the clan members were unhappy about that.

“Stop right there! Hand Mona's body back to us!”

“You're an outsider! You don't have the right to touch the body of a female from the Muraco clan, even if it's just a corpse!”

“It's clear that he has ulterior motives! Mr. Jeremiah, we must take back Mona's body!”

“We should just hand him to Black Muraco Clan and let them deal with him!”

The clan members were getting so stirred up that they were about to take the girl's body by force.

The whole scene was a mess.

Just as Erwen was about to stop them, Zeke suddenly roared, “Everyone, stop!”

He stomped on the floor and caused a hole to form below him.

The deafening sound and the immerse energy wave caused everyone to freeze.
