Zeke immediately stopped and looked in the direction where the voice came from. “Who is it? Show yourself!”
“Hmph! You're not worthy of seeing me!” the man scoffed. “This is a restricted area of the White Muraco Clan. No one is allowed to enter. Take another step forward, and I'll kill you.”
“There's nowhere in Eurasia that I'm not allowed entry. Today, I'm determined to go wherever I want!”
With that said, Zeke strode toward the herb plantation.
The mysterious man was enraged. “Da*n it! You don't seem like you're from White Muraco Clan!”
“I'm not.”
“You b*stard! How dare you step into White Muraco Clan's restricted area? I'll end your life today!”
After the man said that, Zeke abruptly halted in his tracks.
Suddenly, he felt breathless. At the same time, he felt like his internal organs were being punctured by a thousand needles, and the pain was overwhelming.
Zeke had to react swiftly. Sh*t! That man has cast a spell on me! But it's okay. I can easily counter it.
The mysterious man was heard chuckling coldly. “I've cast the spell of Lustful Worms on you! You're going to die after taking ten breaths. If you back away now, I can show you mercy by leaving your corpse unharmed. Otherwise, you're going to be my Sacred Beasts' lunch!”
“Oh, really? I'd like to see you do that.” Then, Zeke focused his energy on cleansing all his vital organs.
Soon after, the energy forced out all the worms in all his organs through his mouth.
He spat a mouthful of blood. The worms were instantly cleared out.
“What was that?” The mysterious man was stunned. “You countered me with just one move? How did you do that?”
“I'm guessing you don't know anything about energy, do you?” Zeke asked frigidly.
“Energy?” The mysterious man sounded puzzled. It was obvious he had no idea what Zeke was talking about.
“Hmph! You're good with worms! Are you from the Black Muraco Clan? What are you doing in a restricted area in White Muraco Clan?”
At that point, Zeke continued walking forward. “Black Muraco clan is not worthy of me.”
“Hmph! I don't care who you are! You must pay the price for barging in! Since my worms are useless against you, I'll unleash my Sacred Beasts upon you! Come on out!”
The mysterious man started whistling.
Suddenly, rustling noises were heard from the dark areas on both sides of Zeke. It sounded like there were things moving around.
Zeke remained calm and collected. I doubt the White Muraco Clan could ever do anything to harm me.
In a split second, two black panthers emerged from the dark.
The black panthers were strong and huge. Their eyes were clear shiny, and their bodies started to exude waves of murderous aura.
They were already incredibly terrifying even without making a move.
The black panthers growled lowly as they moved around the cave in the dark.
The mysterious man whistled once more. This time around, the black panthers were ready to pounce at Zeke.
“I wonder if my Sacred Beasts are worthy in your eyes!” the mysterious man exclaimed.
Zeke shook his head again. “I'm sorry. They're not!”
“Interesting!” the mysterious man exclaimed with a sarcastic tone. “Let me show you what my Sacred Beasts are capable of!”
“Charge!” the mysterious man commanded. The black panthers instantly dashed toward Zeke.
However, Zeke stood still without even taking a glance at either of the black panthers.
“Get lost,” Zeke blurted casually.
Although it only sounded casual, Zeke had unleashed a domineering wave of energy within his voice.
Being the Great Marshal, Zeke's energy worked on animals too.
