Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2618

Sole Wolf responded with a faint smirk. “Legatus? Come on. I can handle him. Leave him to me.”

Zeke replied, “Sure.”

Phoenix responded with a wry smile. All right, we underestimated you.

Since his subordinates could take hundreds of Centurions down without difficulty, Zeke must be capable of defeating Legatus. Otherwise, he would not have commanded the respect of Sole Wolf and the others. Perhaps, I worried too much.

After a short walk, Zeke stopped in his tracks when he noticed something amiss. “Stop! Stop walking! Did you guys feel anything?”

Sole Wolf and the rest started putting their guard up and tried detecting the anomalies around the environment.

A few moments later, Sole Wolf exclaimed in shock, “I can sense a negative energy around me. It's so faint that I nearly missed it.”

Zeke responded, “Be careful. There might be Netherworldians around this area.”

“Even Netherworld has infiltrated Theos Island. This is unbelievable.” Ares sighed.

Phoenix asked cautiously, “Netherworld? What's that? We're now in the territory of Golden Cicada's Northern Faction. Did they come to pledge their allegiance to Golden Cicada?”

Realization dawned on Zeke as his face turned grim. “This is not good. We got to hurry. Netherworld might be ahead of us.”

If Zeke could track Theos down on Theos Island, so could Netherworld and Kush Clan.

Netherworld and Kush Clan had snatched Fortuna in a bid to meet Theos. They might even produce a divine weapon to seek an audience with him during Worship Ceremony.

Zeke and the others picked up their pace and entered Golden Cicada's territory in the blink of an eye.

They were stunned by what they saw.

Golden Cicada's territory was made up of vast lands, and the base looked luxurious.

Yet, not a single soul was spotted in the base. In fact, not a living creature could be found within the vicinity.

An air of gloom and misery shrouded the area.

Sole Wolf whispered carefully, “Zeke, the negative energy is much stronger here. I could tell the Netherworldians were here just now.”

Zeke nodded in agreement. After closing his eyes, he released his energy to track down the source of the negative energy.

Soon, Zeke opened his eyes and said, “The negative energy is the most intense in the three o'clock direction, some eight hundred meters away. The Netherworldians must be hiding somewhere there. Let's go!”

They zapped past the base and arrived at a wooden house eight hundred meters away.

Since all the doors and windows were shut, they could not see the interior of the building.

Zeke gestured for Sole Wolf and the others to surround the wooden house.

Phoenix whispered, “This seems like the place where Golden Cicada carries out his training. He would only allow his confidants to enter the house.”

Zeke inclined his head in agreement. He raised his voice and said, “Listen carefully, Netherworldians! We have surrounded the house. Show yourself right now!”

A dead silence ensued.

Zeke continued and burst into laughter. “So, the infamous Netherworld is made up of cowards, huh? Come out and fight us! Don't tell me you don't have to courage to take us on!”

He still did not get a response from anyone in the house.

Zeke released his energy in the form of a sword and knocked it against the wooden house.

All of a sudden, the wooden structure exploded and shattered into pieces.

A few black spherical objects rolled out of the remnants of the building.

After taking a closer look and realizing what those objects were, they started breathing heavily.

Those were human skulls—several hundreds of them.

They were all covered in blood.

These skulls must have fallen from the rack when the wooden house was blown into pieces.

Ugh!

Phoenix turned around and started throwing up.

After inspecting the skulls more closely, Sole Wolf said, “Zeke, these people have just died about half an hour ago.”

Zeke clenched his fists. In a fit of anger, he released an energy wave to knock down a few trees around him. Those b*stards!
