The Northern King shouted, “Zeke, I know you're very strong and arrogant. Still, you should realize who you're talking to before doing that. You're not qualified to act so haughtily in front of me.”
Zeke replied, “In that case, I assume you chose for me to beat you until you yield.”
“Shut up. I'm choosing to eliminate you!”
Zeke felt a little displeased. Why aren't Sole Wolf and the others stepping up? This is their duty to begin with. I'm not interested in entertaining someone like him.
Zeke uttered, “You can do so if you have the capability.”
“Let me be your opponent, and I shall assess your strength!”
With that, the Northern King leaped toward Zeke.
Zeke curled his lips into a menacing smile. He didn't even bother retaliating. Instead, he casually enveloped his body with an energy barrier.
After approaching Zeke, the Northern King unleashed a ferocious wave of energy at Zeke's head.
Zeke stood unmoving in his spot, not inclined to attack or dodge.
Everyone broke out in a cold sweat in Zeke's stead. What is he planning to do? Is he tired of living? The Northern King's energy can effortlessly crush rocks, not to mention the human body. No matter how powerful Zeke is, he'll be gravely injured even if he manages to survive the collision with the Northern King's energy.
Before everyone could ponder further, the Northern King's energy had struck Zeke's body.
Boom!
A deafening thud rang out as the Northern King's energy exploded.
On the other hand, Zeke remained unscathed, standing calmly in the same spot.
Even an intense explosion like that couldn't make him move an inch.
The crowd widened their eyes in unison. What the hell? Zeke is uninjured even after the Northern King's energy blew up on him? Is his body made of stone? That's not right. His body should've disintegrated even if it was made of stone. The boulder beside him has clearly been crushed into fine powder following the energy detonation. This is unbelievable!
In fact, the Northern King's energy didn't come into contact with Zeke's body. Instead, the energy exploded on the energy barrier layering his skin.
However, the energy barrier was only one millimeter thick and barely noticeable, so everyone thought the energy had blown up on him.
Even elites like Sole Wolf failed to perceive the barrier, much less the ordinary members.
A King Class warrior could never dream of penetrating the energy barrier created by a Celestial Class warrior.
A hint of horror flashed across the Northern King's eyes.
Nonetheless, he swiftly recollected himself. “Very well, Zeke. You are indeed capable. I shall acknowledge you as my rival. You can endure my energy attack, but can you handle a team assault of over thirty Legatuses? Step forward, all Legatuses!”
Over twenty Legatuses marched out of the Legion, including the Southern King.
They were all King Class warriors.
The Northern King shouted again, “Where's the Northern Faction Suicide Squad?”
“We're here!” Dozens of warriors knelt and exclaimed.
“Step forward!”
Dozens of Suicide Squad members unleashed their formidable auras as they strode forward.
From the vehemence of their auras, one could tell that the entire squad had attained the same level as Legatus, as they were all King Class warriors.
The Northern King had summoned over thirty King Class warriors to aid him in just a short period.
The crowd reckoned that battle array would intimidate even a Camp Master.
They wondered if Zeke could hold out against the wave of violent and unforgiving attacks.
The Northern King roared, “Heed my commands, all Legatuses! Muster all your powers to kill Zeke! Charge!”
Over thirty Legatuses simultaneously let loose their energies to attack Zeke after the order was issued.
They cast their most potent energies, concentrating the forces into a dazzling, sun-like ball, and launched it in Zeke's direction.
To everyone's surprise, Zeke continued standing still in his spot even when facing the terrifying attack.
