However, his efforts were futile. Lacey was in a state of shock and could not regain her senses.
The dragon Fortuna was getting desperate.
Crack!
Another of his bones broke, causing him to hurl curses in pain, and blood started to spurt from his nose and mouth.
“Fortuna, stop resisting and just give up.” The Guardian of Mount Kush and Erebus persuaded, “There's no way you can handle this Fortuna. It's much stronger than the previous ones. Come and fuse with me. I promise I won't treat you badly! What do you get by following Zeke? Aren't you just giving your life to his woman in the end? Don't worry. As long as you follow me, you'll have all the glory, wealth, and power you want.”
“Cut the cr*p! You only know how to make empty promises. If you're so capable, show some sincerity now,” the dragon spat.
The Guardian of Mount Kush and Erebus were overjoyed to see that it was showing signs of submission.
“Fine. Let's hear it. What should we do to show our sincerity? Just say it. As long as we can do it now, we will definitely do it.”
“All right. Since you said so, I'll have to trouble you guys to help me hold back this ray of Fortuna. Not for long, just until Zeke returns,” the dragon Fortuna replied.
“Y-You...”
The two were instantly furious, feeling that the dragon was toying with them.
Just as the dragon Fortuna was in despair that the other Fortuna was about to press down on Lacey, a black figure suddenly arrived in a flash.
Everyone took a closer look. Who else could it be but Zeke?
The Guardian of Mount Kush and Erebus' hearts instantly skipped a beat. Sh*t! We're in trouble!
They exchanged glances and began speaking telepathically.
“Let's get rid of Zeke first, then take Lacey and the Fortuna away.”
“Deal!”
The two came to a consensus.
Although Zeke had merged with Ossa Dei and his strength had greatly increased, the two were convinced that if they joined forces, he was still no match for them.
Upon seeing Zeke, the dragon Fortuna finally saw a glimmer of hope. “Zeke, you heartless creature! You finally came back! Hurry! I can't take it anymore!”
This scene before Zeke angered him immensely.
Lacey was about to be crushed by the stream of Fortuna, while his dragon Fortuna had also broken several bones and might collapse at any time.
Moreover, the Guardian of Mount Kush and Erebus were still pressuring them.
You b*stards! How dare you mess around in Eurasia! Especially Erebus. He must perish today! If he hadn't held Killer Wolf hostage and lured me away, Lacey wouldn't have to suffer so much! If I hadn't left my Fortuna within her, she would've died by now!
Crack!
Another of the dragon Fortuna's bones was crushed.
The other Fortuna, on the other hand, was merely half a meter away from Lacey by then.
Without a second of delay, Zeke rushed toward the latter, intending to integrate the ray of Fortuna before fighting to the death with the Guardian of Mount Kush and Erebus.
How could the two allow that to happen?
“Stop him, Elder Erebus. We mustn't let him integrate with this ray of Fortuna. If he succeeds, we'll be no match for him!” the Guardian of Mount Kush cried.
Erebus responded, “Stop him! Don't let him get close to the Fortuna. We just need to intercept him for half a minute, and then it will descend on Lacey. With that, our road to victory is secured.”
The two immediately unleashed their powers to intercept Zeke.
The Guardian of Mount Kush's mental energy attack, combined with Erebus' negative energy, formed two barriers, preventing Zeke from approaching the Fortuna.
Die!
The latter immediately activated Ossa Dei and unleashed his maximum power to attack the two barriers.
Boom! Boom!
The explosions were never-ending, and the fabric of space kept collapsing and mending incessantly.
Even the approaching Fortuna was shaken by the powerful blasts.
A shocking scene happened. Zeke had managed to smash right through the Guardian of Mount Kush and Erebus' barriers, forming two large holes in them.
