Chapter 2345
Lord Protector Novel
None of the monks responded to his taunts.
Of course, Zeke wasn't about to let a single one of them escape after all the horrible things they had done.
On top of that, their act of allying with the Netherworld alone was punishable by death.
With the flick of a finger, Zeke fired a shock wave at one of the monks and killed him on the spot.
He then aimed at the rest of the monks and killed them in the same fashion.
Upon seeing them dropping like flies, Sole Wolf swallowed nervously.
Holy sh*t! I mustn't play rock paper scissors with Zeke! He'll blow me to bits the moment he plays scissors!
With all ten monks dead, the spider men and the other corpses lost their vigor and collapsed into a pile of rotting flesh.
The battle is over! Hahaha!
Feeling overjoyed, Sole Wolf yelled excitedly, âThis was a satisfying battle, Zeke! I'll treat us all to a celebratory feast tonight!â
Zeke wasn't all that enthusiastic about it, though. âDefeating Daemonium is nothing worth celebrating.
It's a real shame Warren isn't here. Also, our goal is to strike at the heart of our enemies and eradicate the Netherworld's headquarters. Don't let such tiny victories blind you now!â
âUnderstood. In that case, we'll just have a drink instead! Think of this as a little reward to motivate us to work harder!â Sole Wolf suggested.
Zeke shot him a cold glare, and Sole Wolf let out an awkward chuckle in response.
Of course... All Sole Wolf cares about is the alcohol. He's fine with not celebrating anything as long as he gets to drink!
With that in mind, Zeke said, âNow isn't the time to be celebrating anything. Killer Wolf is still at large, so finding him is our top priority.â
The look on Sole Wolf's face turned gloomy at the mention of Killer Wolf. âAh, you're right! I can't believe we forgot to ask Daemonium for his whereabouts! Eurasia is so freaking huge! Where are we even going to start looking?â
âCheck the ten monks for survivors, revive those that are still alive, and find out everything they know,â
Zeke replied.
âAll right. I'm on it!â Sole Wolf said as he ran off.
Turning toward the others, Zeke continued, âEveryone else, start looking for any clues that may lead us to Killer Wolf. Use any means necessary to bring him back without injuring him! We can celebrate and drink to our hearts' content after we get this done!â
âWhat are we all waiting for? Let's get to work!â Sole Wolf exclaimed in joy.
The group then split into two teams to carry out their respective duties.
Sole Wolf then had his men clean up the place while Ares, Nameless, and the others split up to look for Killer Wolf.
Rick and his men made their way over to Zeke nervously, kneeling in front of him.
âThank you for avenging us, Great Marshal!â
Zeke nodded at them. âDon't mention it.â
However, the men refused to get back up until Zeke said so.
Having witnessed Zeke's display of power, they knew that their lives were entirely at his mercy.
Naturally, Zeke knew what they were thinking as well.
He wasn't planning on executing them as Rick had been of great help to him lately.
On top of that, he only managed to survive that fight against Daemonium because Rick interrupted the life force detonation.
Therefore, Rick had already atoned for his wrongdoings in the past.
âWhat do you guys plan on doing after this?â Zeke asked.
Rick and the others got excited when they heard that.
Does this mean we won't be executed?
âWe have committed serious crimes before, so we would like to redeem ourselves by serving you, Great Marshal!â Rick said.
Taking a deep breath, Zeke nodded and replied, âVery well, then. I shall grant that request of yours.
Report for duty at Military District in the North and work your way up the ranks like every other soldier!â
Realizing that Zeke had given them all a second chance at life, Rick and the others thanked him profusely and left the scene.
Zeke, too, left the area in search of Killer Wolf after that.
