Cesar's little stunt had ruined everything for Daemonium, so it was only natural for the latter to be livid with rage.
Furious at having his plans ruined by Cesar's little stunt, Daemonium fired a ball of negative energy at Cesar's corpse and turned it into ash on the spot.
That was when Zeke heard Ossa Dei's voice in his head again.
“Are you not from the Dragon Bloodline? Is it actually someone else?”
Ossa Dei tried to get out of Zeke's body after finding out that he wasn't from the Dragon Bloodline.
“Calm down, Ossa Dei. I may not be from the Dragon Bloodline, but I am a close relative of someone from that bloodline. I'll take you to her once we've eliminated the enemies.”
As Ossa Dei neither responded nor tried to get out after that, Zeke assumed it had agreed with his statement.
Suddenly, Fortuna's voice rang out. “Ossa Dei, I am Fortuna! The blood of the Dragon Race flows within me! My blood is purer than those of the Dragon Bloodline! Join us and I will grant you a pint of pure dragon blood!”
“Get lost, you d*mned worm! I'll get back at you later for stealing my luck before!” Ossa Dei snapped back at it.
“Who are you calling a worm? I'm Fortuna! My status is greater than the entire Dragon Race combined!” Fortuna exclaimed in displeasure.
Still furious even after destroying Cesar's body, Daemonium glared at Zeke with reddened eyes as he shouted, “It looks like I've underestimated you, Zeke! You somehow managed to get Ossa Dei on your side, but you're not the only one with a trump card here! I can detonate my life force too! If I die today, I'm taking you all with me!”
With that, Daemonium charged at Zeke in an attempt to detonate his life force at point-blank range.
“Go away!” Zeke shouted while swinging his fist at Daemonium.
To everyone's surprise, that punch exploded with unparalleled power capable of ripping a hole in spacetime.
The shock wave generated by his fist hit Daemonium square in the body and sent him flying into the wall of a mountain.
A huge hole could be seen in the wall, and Daemonium was stuck deep inside it.
It was the first time he had ever been humiliated like this.
While Daemonium was incredibly upset at being humiliated like this, Sole Wolf and the others were thrilled and in awe of Zeke's strength.
Oh, my goodness! Zeke is so powerful! I doubt anyone in the Celestial Class is capable of delivering an ordinary-looking punch with that much destructive force!
Sole Wolf and the others got all hyped up at the thought of that.
“Kill them all!”
“You're not getting away, you blasphemous monks! We'll have another showdown!”
“Haha! Hey, Zeke! I'll treat everyone to a victory feast when this battle is over!”
Having lost their most powerful ally, the ten monks knew that staying would only get them killed. As such, they all took off in separate directions as quickly as their feet could carry.
Sole Wolf and the others immediately gave chase and engaged them in combat after catching up to them.
D*mn it! D*mn it all! I absolutely refuse to accept this!
“Hey, Zeke! Quit hiding behind Ossa Dei and fight me like a man!” Daemonium yelled in frustration.
“Sure thing!” Zeke replied with a smile.
“Wait, are you serious?” Daemonium asked.
“Of course!”
“All right. Bring it on, then!” Daemonium shouted as he sprung out of the wall, charging straight at Zeke.
Zeke gently waved his hand like before, and Daemonium was sent flying back into the hole once again.
Spurt!
Daemonium coughed up a huge mouthful of blood as he roared, “Zeke, you b*stard! You said you wouldn't use Ossa Dei's power! Why are you going against your own word?”
