Zeke focused his attention on the handkerchief and could sense Lacey's familiar aura all over it.
Thus, he asked eagerly, “Where did you get this? This is Lacey's handkerchief. Does this mean you met her?”
Erebus replied, “It's a long story. Truthfully, not only have I met your wife, but I can also contact her right now.”
Seriously? Zeke was getting very emotional. At last, I have a chance to find Lacey!
He missed her day and night. Hence, when he finally obtained a lead on her, he naturally struggled to keep his cool. “Quick! Call Lacey now. I want to talk to her.”
Erebus negotiated, “I can help you contact your wife, but you must let me go.”
After only a moment of hesitation, Zeke nodded resolutely. “No problem.”
As long as he could meet Lacey, he was willing to do anything.
Only then did Erebus pull out his communication device, which was a yellow talisman.
Eh? What's that? I thought he was going to grab his phone or something. Is that a yellow talisman?
Zeke asked doubtfully, “Can that thing really contact my wife, Erebus?”
In response, Erebus nodded. “Of course. When did I ever lie to you? I can prove it to you if you don't believe me.”
A second later, he injected a large amount of negative energy into the talisman, causing it to glow a light-yellow hue.
In a blink of an eye, that glow grew so bright that it basically blinded Zeke and the rest.
Additionally, the light radiated immense mental energy that enveloped Zeke and the others, suppressing their consciousness.
As a result, their minds turned blank, and they entered a vegetative state.
Naturally, the energy attack they unleashed earlier disappeared.
Erebus' first instinct after regaining his freedom was to assault Zeke.
Without hesitation, he shot a ball of negative energy toward Zeke, who was currently vulnerable.
At that moment, Zeke was still unconscious, suppressed by the mental energy from the talisman. Hence, he could do nothing but wait for his death.
To Erebus' surprise, just as his negative energy was about to reach Zeke, the latter's right arm abruptly shot up before smashing the negative energy into smithereens.
The backlash from that attack rattled Erebus' internal organs, causing him to vomit out tainted blood.
A second later, he injected a large amount of negative energy into the talisman, causing it to glow a light-yellow hue.
“D*mn it! Why is he still conscious enough to retaliate?” With no time to lose, he shot Zeke a resentful glare before vamoosing away.
Halfway through his escape, he recalled the reason Zeke was capable of attacking him, even in an unconscious state. It's because a piece of Ossa Dei is fused into his right arm! I can't believe how powerful it is. Even that old immortal's mental energy can't affect its consciousness. That's why it can still counterattack. It would be like gaining an additional life, maybe even multiple lives, if I could get my hands on that thing! Zeke is the best proof of Ossa Dei's power. If not for that thing, he would've been dead! I must get my hands on it no matter what!
Meanwhile, two minutes after Erebus unleashed his mental attack, Zeke returned to his senses.
When he swept his gaze across his surrounding, he realized Erebus had vanished. Lividly, he growled, “D*mn it! That jerk!”
Without hesitation, he tried to chase after his enemy.
However, it had been two minutes, which would be enough for a Celestial Class warrior to escape to any corner of Theos Island.
