Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2326

When they almost landed, Zeke immediately released his energy to cushion all his men, slowing down their velocity to prevent a hard landing.

What they saw at rock bottom was ghastly.

It was covered with layers upon layers of bodies and bones. The whole place was so stuffy there was no airflow.

There was no end to one's view and there were human remains all over.

The putrid smell of decaying bodies engulfed them, and it was so strong it was suffocating.

It was unbearable even for people like Sole Wolf and the others, who had spent years on the battlefield.

Zeke held his breath as he continued searching for Cesar at the bottom of the cliff.

He tried hard to not look at the bodies because the sight infuriated him so much that he would do something irrational.

At a defining moment like that, it was crucial that he kept his cool.

After exploring for about a few minutes, Worm King's screeching suddenly rang through the whole cliff.

Screech!

What followed was a huge rustling sound from the ground.

Sole Wolf shouted, “Zeke! The bodies are moving!”

Everyone looked down.

As warned, the decayed bodies started moving—all of them.

The scene was haunting.

“It's not the bodies. It's the thing in those bodies,” Zeke corrected.

“What's inside?” Ares asked. “What could be inside?”

Before Zeke could answer, the bodies burst, and out came worms after worms.

They were of all colors and about the size of bees. Their wings waved violently, giving off an insufferably blaring noise.

When they looked across the cliff, the worms had already organized themselves in a formation, covering the whole ground, so much so that the ground was no longer visible.

This disgusting sight elicited a distressing sensation.

“What on earth is this?” Sole Wolf shouted.

“These are cursed parasitic worms, if I'm not mistaken,” Ares answered.

“F*ck! So many of them? Don't tell me there's a whole Muraco Clan here!”

“I'm not sure if there's anyone from the clan here, but I'm positive that these bodies are food for these cursed parasitic worms.”

What?

Alfred sucked a breath of cold air. “I heard these meat-eating cursed parasitic worms are ferocious. Having so many of them here is a disaster.”

“Zeke! We're waiting for your command to exterminate them!” Sole Wolf cried.

Before Zeke even said a word, the worms swarmed toward them from all directions.

They rolled over like waves of a raging storm, ready to devour them alive as they closed in on their targets.

Standing right at the center, Zeke and the others had no way to escape.

The men were stunned at the pugnacious cloud of worms.

At that defining moment, Zeke let out his energy, creating an energy barrier to shield his men by blocking out the worms.

The worms flew right into the barrier and dispersed outward, but they were unstoppable.

In fact, the impact was so strong that they almost penetrated the energy barrier.

When Sole Wolf and the others finally snapped back to their senses, they also released their energy to consolidate Zeke's barrier.

“Does this remind you of anything?” Zeke asked.

“I've never seen anything like this before, Zeke! The worms here outnumber the cursed parasitic worms at the Black and White Muraco Clan combined,” Sole Wolf exclaimed.

“Indeed. It's just like the Myriad Worm Formation!” Zeke nodded.

Everyone was suddenly enlightened.

“Exactly! This is really the Myriad Worm Formation!” Sole Wolf responded.

“We saw this formation once at Muraco, but it wasn't as lethal and large as this. This must be the combined work of Cesar and the Worm King!”
