It wasn't until Sole Wolf shouted for help that Zeke finally threw him a glance. “Stop fooling around.”
In that instant, Sole Wolf didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Zeke, are you kidding me? We're under attack by a powerful enemy. How is this considered fooling around?
Just as Sole Wolf was feeling exasperated, the wave of energy that had attacked him suddenly vanished.
The next second, two men walked into the room.
Nonetheless, the dirt and dust they brought with them prevented Sole Wolf from seeing who they were.
“D*mn it, how dare you attack us? Do you have a death wish? Now, die!”
Right as Sole Wolf was about to attack, a voice suddenly rang out. “Stop, Sole Wolf! It's us!”
Sole Wolf stopped his attack immediately before rubbing his eyes to take a closer look.
The voice sounds familiar. Are they back?
Sole Wolf squinted his eyes again. Isn't that Tyler and Alfred?
His expression changed immediately. “D*mn it, you idiots! Why did you attack me? Do you have a death wish?”
Tyler and Alfred laughed awkwardly. “Hehe, we just leveled up to Ultimate Class and wanted to test out our strength.”
Sole Wolf responded with his evaluation, “Hmm, to be honest, both of you have made rapid progress. Even I could barely hold back your combined energy.”
However, both of them hung their heads and sighed in dejection. “Our combined strength can only pressure you slightly? That's too weak. It looks like we have to double our efforts in training.”
Sole Wolf replied, “Sheesh, of all the people to compare, why did you choose me? I'm the most powerful fighter below Celestial Class, while both of you have just achieved Ultimate Class. This just isn't meaningful. That aside, if the three of you combined can beat me, that itself is a respectable result. Oh, now that I think of it, where's Killer Wolf? Why isn't he with you?”
Tyler remarked, “That's enough, Sole Wolf. Stop blowing your own trumpet. To be honest, you would have been killed by the three of us if this was a real battle. Also... Hehe, even the Great Marshal might feel a little pressured.”
“What do you mean? Where in the world is Killer Wolf?”
“I'm right here.” A lackadaisical voice rang out from above their heads.
When they looked up, they were shocked to see Killer Wolf affixed to the ceiling.
He was being held up by a cloud of energy, and the source of that energy was, naturally, Zeke.
Tyler queried anxiously, “Killer Wolf, when did the Great Marshal notice your presence?”
Killer Wolf sighed. “The very moment I stepped in. I was restrained up here right after that.”
Tyler continued, “Why didn't you say a thing?”
“Isn't it obvious? Zeke sealed my mouth. I couldn't even make a sound.”
Thereafter, the three of them bowed toward Zeke. “Great Marshal, please forgive us for the offense we have caused.”
After sweeping his gaze across the three of them, Zeke nodded slightly. “Hmm, to exhibit such power right after achieving Ultimate Class is an admirable result indeed. Keep up the good work.”
The three of them nodded. “Definitely.”
With that, Zeke ignored them and continued forging his divine weapon.
Meanwhile, the three asked Sole Wolf curiously, “Sole Wolf, what is Zeke up to? He looks really engrossed in it.”
Upon regaining his senses, Sole Wolf explained, “Zeke is forging a divine weapon. It's a process that cannot be disrupted. Now, get out of here quickly.”
The few of them hurried out at once.
The disturbance they caused earlier almost resulted in Zeke making a mistake.
Nonetheless, Zeke instructed, “Sole Wolf, get them to refine spiritual iron. We don't have much time left.”
“Understood!”
Sole Wolf was reluctant to help Zeke with forging the divine weapon, given how boring it was. He wasn't allowed to move or make a sound for fear of disrupting Zeke's concentration.
Hence, he preferred to refine spiritual iron.
