Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2266

Zeke said, “It makes sense. That was what I thought too. Who was most likely to stop Andres from killing the trine worm?”

Killer Wolf and Andres answered at the same time, “It's the master of the trine worm!”

Zeke nodded. “That's right. The master of the trine worm is Dullioud's sorcerer.”

Don asked cautiously, “Do you mean that old priest was the culprit behind the plot to harm us?”

Zeke replied, “You're right. It was he who implanted trine worms within your bodies.”

“Damn it!” Don clenched his fists. “It is bad enough that he is the thief who cries foul. How dare he turn us into his tool? I will make him pay. Great Marshal, I am willing to hunt him down to redeem myself.”

Zeke replied, “You are not strong enough to face him alone. Now, bring me to where you met him. I have my way to capture him.”

Don immediately nodded in agreement, “Yes, sure!”

Then, Don brought Zeke and a few others to the front of the village and stopped at the place where Don and the others met the old priest.

Zeke closed his eyes. He could vaguely sense the residue of dark energy from there.

One could only find such dark energy in those adept in dark means.

Zeke ordered, “Andres, Erwen, and Yazmin, the three of you are to stay and help the villagers remove trine worms from their bodies.”

Andres and the two others nodded. “Yes, understood.”

Then, Zeke continued, “Sole Wolf, Killer Wolf, both of you shall come with me to pursue the sorcerer.”

“Yes, Sir!” Sole Wolf and Killer Wolf answer in unison.

After that, Zeke, Sole Wolf, and Killer Wolf dashed off and turned into a blur as they disappeared into the distance.

Erwen watched them leave and mumbled, “Please stay safe...”

Yazmin grumbled, “Seriously, he didn't even say goodbye. What a heartless man. Erwen, there is no point wasting your feelings on that man. Forget him.”

She said that to advise Erwen to give up. After all, she could see Zeke did not wish to get too close to Erwen.

Erwen nodded at Yazmin in a daze. “Sure, let's help the people.”

Yazmin shook her head and smiled bitterly. “What is love that people are willing to die for it?”

Meanwhile, Zeke, Sole Wolf, and Killer Wolf followed the trail of dark energy. He soon realized that something was wrong.

It was because the dark energy trail was leading toward Vauxgan Pavilion.

Damn it! Could the sorcerer be heading to Vauxgan Pavilion? Why does he want to go there? Could it be due to Fortuna? It means Fortuna is in danger!

The realization made their hearts beat rapidly, and they could not help but run faster.

Soon, they came near Vauxgan Pavilion.

They could see a man in a black robe leading Rick and a few others to survey the Yellow Sand River.

Zeke was sure that the man in the black robe was Cesar, the sorcerer from Dullioud.

Meanwhile, Sole Wolf gritted his teeth. “Damn it, that b*stard Rick betrays us in the end. I will bash up that trash for good this time.”

Killer Wolf said, “Sole Wolf, don't be quick to jump to conclusions. I don't think Rick has betrayed us yet.”

Sole Wolf replied, “Nonsense! If Rick has not betrayed us, why is he working with our enemy?”

Killer Wolf replied, “You should look closely. Rick and the others look dazed and move stiffly. They seemed unnatural and similar to the villagers in Durbaine when they were under the influence of trine worm. Therefore, I think the sorcerer must have infected them with trine worm and turned them into his puppets.”

Sole Wolf shouted, “I don't care whether they have the trine worm. Anyone who betrayed us must die!”

At this moment, Zeke did not care whether Rick had betrayed them. His only concern was Fortuna.

It was because he sensed not just Cesar's dark energy. There was another wave of intimidating energy.

It felt like negative energy from the Netherworld and was immensely powerful.

It is the negative energy from Daemonium!

Zeke's heart sank at the realization. It seemed Daemonium is involved in this too. Furthermore, he might even be the main culprit.
