What's wrong?
The others' hearts leaped into their throats.
Zeke then said, “I don't sense the Soul Pinion Formation in the bottom of the valley; I only sense the remnants of it.”
In a shaky voice, Ares muttered, “Great Marshal, do you mean that... the person might have destroyed the formation and escaped?”
Zeke inclined his head. “It's very likely.”
The crowd panicked.
Eurasia was suffering many troubles, and they were already stretched thin with the things they had to do. If the person at the bottom of Unholy Valley were to come out at a time like this...
Eurasia was bound for much tougher times.
Zeke went on. “Also, I sensed something familiar down there. It's Warren! He must be involved in the breaking of the Soul Pinion Formation and the escape of the demon!”
Hearing that, the others gritted out, “He's horrible! We really should've killed him back then.”
Zeke uttered, “I now have a question I'm thinking about. Since the demon has escaped, he clearly had a chance to kill Killer Wolf, so why didn't he do it?”
Sole Wolf replied, “Could it be that the demon didn't know who Killer Wolf was? Maybe he thought Killer Wolf was just a passerby, so he ignored him?”
Ares shook his head. “No. Even if he doesn't know who Killer Wolf is, how can Warren not? Warren will never pass up on an opportunity to end Killer Wolf's life.”
All of a sudden, Zeke said, “Distraction.”
The others turned to look at him in confusion. “Distraction?”
Zeke explained, “This might be their way to distract us. They used Killer Wolf to lure us here so that they'll be able to create a window of opportunity to harm Lacey! Lacey's foretold doom might be that demon! D*mn it, we've been tricked! We're going back right now!”
Upon hearing that Lacey had foretold doom, the group became even more anxious than Zeke as they swiftly returned the way they came from.
No one knew better than them how important Lacey was to Zeke. As a matter of fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Zeke thought of her as far more important than himself.
Zeke would be far more devastated if anything were to happen to Lacey than if anything happened to him. If that happened, and Zeke could not recompose himself anymore, Eurasia would begin walking its final path to doom.
Furthermore, Lacey was nice to them all, and she was the daughter of Ares. Naturally, they would also be concerned about Lacey's safety.
In the meantime, at Linton Group, the thunder and lightning did not last long before they came to a stop.
Then, the dark clouds parted, and the sun shone on the land again. Even a beautiful rainbow appeared.
If one were to take a closer look at it, one would notice a pure ray of holy light descending toward the people among the rays of sunlight.
It was the Fortuna.
Those who saw that ray of Fortuna—regardless of whether they were an adult or a child, man or woman—would feel relaxed and at ease. Even the thoughts in their minds would become more intellectual.
Just a glance, and the effect was already so intense. One could imagine what benefits that ray of Fortuna would bring if one were to absorb it.
It was evident how powerful the Fortuna was.
It was so powerful to the point ordinary people, and even ordinary warriors, would not be able to hold it in themselves. If they forcibly tried to take it in, they would explode.
Even Zeke had trouble absorbing one of the Fortunas, and he suffered through immeasurable torment because of it.
At Lacey's office, The Guardian of Mount Kush was thrilled beyond words as he looked at the stream of Fortuna.
He took in a deep breath, but he still could not stop his heart from thumping loudly against his ribcage. “This is amazing! This stream of Fortuna is unbelievably strong! I'm here now. This ray of Fortuna shall belong to me!”
With that said, he released a strong wave of mental energy, ready to devour that descending ray of Fortuna.
At the same time, Erebus, who was at the bottom of the building, was equally elated by the sight of the stream of Fortuna.
It was dozens of times stronger than he expected it to be.
This is the perfect time for me to devour this ray of Fortuna.
