Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2339

It happened so quickly that Zeke could not react in time.

The silhouette of a dragon enveloped Zeke at that critical moment and took him away from where he stood, narrowly avoiding Ossa Dei's attack.

The gust of wind from the impact of its fist struck a mountain behind them, which immediately bore a dent.

Zeke felt a palpable sense of danger he had barely avoided.

I've met more than my match this time. Even the gust of wind from its fist had put a dent in a mountain. This is a magnitude of force that I absolutely cannot compete against.

He gazed at the silhouette of the dragon that had pulled him to safety. It was Fortuna.

Fortuna, however, was looking at Ossa Dei greedily. “You are mine! You are mine! Come back, I need you!”

Ossa Dei began shaking violently as if in great anger.

“You will die for absorbing my aura!”

Abandoning Zeke, it turned to attack Fortuna instead.

Fortuna did not back down but kept its greedy gaze on Ossa Dei. “Be good and come into my embrace. You are mine now.”

Ossa Dei morphed into a fist and swung at Fortuna's head.

Roar!

Fortuna was sent flying back from the first instance of their collision.

Like a kite caught in a storm, its massive body flailed wildly in midair as it had completely lost control of its faculties.

“That hurt like hell!” Fortuna roared in pain and sounded like it was in tears.

Boom!

A crater dozens of feet long formed in the ground where Fortuna fell.

It spat blood and struggled even to move as if its tendons were severed.

Roar!

Fortuna cursed Ossa Dei.

Meanwhile, Zeke flew toward and landed beside Fortuna. How are you feeling?

Fortuna coughed before responding. It'll take more than that to kill me!

Zeke gave him a thumbs up. You're tougher than I expected. I would have been paralyzed after getting hit by that punch.

Fortuna suddenly diminished in size in the next second and flew into Zeke's stomach, to his dumbstruck surprise.

Hey, Fortuna, get out here and fight alongside me! I cannot face Ossa Dei alone.

To Zeke's disapproval, Fortuna was prepared to exempt himself from the battle.

We wouldn't be able to beat it even if we joined forces. I think you should surrender. At least you would have the option to live.

Zeke was disgusted. Shut your mouth! There is no “surrender” in my vocabulary! Think carefully about your decision. If I die, you would have no master and would similarly fade away.

Fortuna sounded confident. I'm always in demand, so don't you worry about me. I'll just submit to Ossa Dei in the worst-case scenario. I would be honored to serve such a powerful master.

Zeke was flabbergasted. Spineless creature! I'll whip you to death!

His conversation with Fortuna had been telepathic, with the complex exchange only taking place within a fraction of a second.

Without warning, Ossa Dei launched another attack at Zeke, who did not even have the time to dodge it. He was forced to return the strike by conjuring another energy barrier.

However, Ossa Dei smashed the barrier easily and headed straight for Zeke's chest.

Accelerating even harder than before, Ossa Dei approached at light speed, and Zeke could not react at all.

I'm done for.

Zeke's mind was in a daze. It was the first time he had ever felt so helpless.

At that opportune moment, Fortuna materialized as he did before from its hiding place within Zeke. Before Ossa Dei could register Fortuna's surprise appearance, it wrapped itself around Ossa Dei and absorbed its aura with maddening lust.

Fortuna's ambush gave Zeke a sliver of time which was more than he needed.
