Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2731

Chapter 2731 Exploding Beasts

Zeke took a deep breath and said, “To be frank, I also thought there was a problem with the intensity of the heat. However, I've already tried almost a hundred intensity levels during the forging process, and I still haven't succeeded. Heat intensity is either the problem or merely one of the problems I'm facing. Ugh! Forging divine weapons is so challenging.”

Suddenly, Fortuna exclaimed, “Fire seed!”

Fire seed? Zeke had never heard about such a thing. “What's fire seed?”

“Fire. There are up to a hundred types of fire. The fire you use comes from a natural source. It's the weakest type of fire. If you want to forge divine weapons, you can't use the weakest type of fire. You need a high-grade fire seed.”

“What's a high-grade fire seed?” Zeke asked.

With a clueless expression, Fortuna asked, “What high-grade fire seed?”

“Earlier, you said the natural form of fire is the lowest grade of fire seed. You said there are higher grades of fire seed.”

Fortuna was dumbfounded. “Did I say that? What? Why don't I remember? Wait! I actually said something like that, but I don't know what it means...”

Zeke was puzzled. Fortuna said those words instinctively, meaning the knowledge of forging divine weapons is engraved deep in its mind. It's like how adults would still remember parts of the poems they learned in their childhoods. Could it be that Fortuna was also a great divine weapon maker back then? That's possible. If I can help Fortuna regain its memory, I can forge divine weapons with ease!

With that in mind, Zeke urged, “Fortuna, try recalling carefully. Can you remember anything else about forging divine weapons?”

Fortuna shut its eyes and went into deep thought.

In the end, it shook its head. “Sorry, I can't think of anything.”

Zeke was utterly disappointed. Fortuna blurted out the ways to forge divine weapons. Why couldn't it recall anything? Forget about it. Let's be patient. After all, haste makes waste.

Boom!

Right then, a deafening sound rang out from the city gates.

It was so loud that it shook the base of Centuria.

What's going on? Stunned, Zeke rushed toward the city gates.

Since Sole Wolf, Killer Wolf, and the others were busy refining spiritual iron, Zeke was responsible for the safety of the base.

Once he arrived at the city gates, he was met with a shocking scene.

There were nine beasts as huge as small mountains attacking the city.

Those violent and powerful beasts were destroying the thick and sturdy city gates and walls.

Despite the guards' desperate attempt to defend the city, they were clearly no match for the beasts.

When the captain of the guards of the city gates saw Zeke, he ran toward him and got down on one knee. “I'm sorry, Mr. Williams. We can't protect the city.”

“Get up. It's not your fault. Our enemies are merely too strong. I have a question for you. What's with that loud noise just now?”

The guard replied, “We fought like hell to kill one of the beasts. Before it drew its last breath, it self-destructed. Ten of our men were in the vicinity. Three died on the spot, four are heavily injured, and we still don't know where the rest of the three are.”

Self-destruction? Zeke mumbled, “A simple self-destruction won't be able to generate such a force unless...”

Something came to Zeke's mind. It's possible that these beasts have Cores within them. Only the explosion of a Core could generate such a strong wave of energy. A beast's Core is similar to a human's elixir field. Humans have elixir fields so that they can cultivate and become immortal. The same applies to these beasts. If these beasts can cultivate, that proves they can become sentient. Indeed, the animals on Theos Island are incredible. If I can catch one of these beasts and ride it around, that will be so cool! Besides, these beasts are stronger and bigger. That has to be the case!
