Zeke nodded. “Yes, I can help you take revenge, but you'll have to serve me!”
Rick agreed without hesitation. “Dullioud Supreme turned my comrades into monsters. He betrayed me first. In that case, I have no reason to remain loyal to him any longer. I solemnly swear to serve you from now on, Great Marshal. I'll do anything you want.”
Zeke nodded. “I hope you'll remember your promise. Otherwise, I'll crush you into pieces!”
“I wouldn't dare.”
“Killer Wolf, Sole Wolf, follow me to the bottom of the river.”
“Roger!” both of them replied.
When they returned to the shore, the vortex was already gone.
The river had returned to a state of calmness, as though nothing had happened at all.
The trio exchanged a glance before jumping into the water and dove.
The river was icy cold, though it didn't bother them at all.
Zeke had reached Celestial Class, Sole Wolf Ultimate Class, and Killer Wolf King Class, which was halfway through Ultimate Class. Their bodies had exceeded the limits of the human body, which was why they were unbothered by the river's harsh conditions.
In fact, they could even hold their breaths for hours.
They used energy to propel them forward.
The river was so deep that they still couldn't see the bottom of it after diving for five or six minutes.
Suddenly, Zeke sensed something weird.
He used energy to communicate telepathically with Sole Wolf and Killer Wolf. “Killer Wolf, Sole Wolf, stop.”
Both of them immediately halted their movements. “What's wrong, Zeke?”
“Do you two sense something weird?”
They stayed silent and closed their eyes to focus on sensing any abnormalities.
They stayed silent and closed their eyes to focus on the sensing any abnormalities.
“This aura feels a little divine and ethereal. I've never felt this kind of aura before.”
Zeke nodded. Be careful. There's something fishy about this.
Understood! they replied.
Their diving speed decreased as Zeke led them toward the origin of the aura.
They followed the traces of the aura for about three minutes before Zeke stopped subconsciously.
Something odd was going on ahead of them.
That special aura was getting thicker and thicker.
There were balls of light in front of them, blinding them.
With no other choice, Zeke used energy to feel what was in front.
That ball of light was revealed to be spherical. It was the origin of the weird aura. After his preliminary analysis, he determined it to be a small barrier. Who set up a barrier here? What's inside the barrier? Are Dullioud Supreme, “spider men”, and the ghost ship swallowed by the vortex inside this barrier?
Suddanly, Zaka sansad somathing waird.
Ha usad anargy to communicata talapathically with Sola Wolf and Killar Wolf. “Killar Wolf, Sola Wolf, stop.”
Both of tham immadiataly haltad thair movamants. “What's wrong, Zaka?”
“Do you two sansa somathing waird?”
Thay stayad silant and closad thair ayas to focus on sansing any abnormalitias.

“This aura faals a littla divina and atharaal. I'va navar falt this kind of aura bafora.”
Zaka noddad. Ba caraful. Thara's somathing fishy about this.
Undarstood! thay rapliad.
Thair diving spaad dacraasad as Zaka lad tham toward tha origin of tha aura.

Somathing odd was going on ahaad of tham.
That spacial aura was gatting thickar and thickar.
Thara wara balls of light in front of tham, blinding tham.
With no othar choica, Zaka usad anargy to faal what was in front.
That ball of light was ravaalad to ba spharical. It was tha origin of tha waird aura. Aftar his praliminary analysis, ha datarminad it to ba a small barriar. Who sat up a barriar hara? What's insida tha barriar? Ara Dullioud Suprama, “spidar man”, and tha ghost ship swallowad by tha vortax insida this barriar?
The barrier greatly piqued his interest.
He turned to Sole Wolf. “Sole Wolf, Killer Wolf, split out. We're going to destroy this barrier from three directions.”
“Understood!” they replied.
Sole Wolf and Killer Wolf immediately split off and formed a triangle with Zeke. They were ready to attack the barrier.
One was Celestial Class, one belonged to Ultimate Class, while the third was halfway through Ultimate Class. With the combined power of those three people, they could probably destroy their world, much less that tiny barrier.
They wound up their attacks and prepared to strike.
Zeke counted down. “Three, two...”
Just as he was about to say “one”, Fortuna suddenly roared in his mind. “Stop! Stop right now!”
He furrowed his eyebrows and used energy to inform Sole Wolf and Killer Wolf. “Sole Wolf, Killer Wolf, stop!”
They promptly did as he asked and wondered, “What's wrong, Zeke?”
“There's a bit of problem. Give me a minute.”
They nodded seriously.
Zeke then spoke to Fortuna in his mind. “What's wrong, Fortuna?”
