Chapter 2633He deserved to die as he was cruel enough to sacrifice his comrades' lives for his personal gain.
The members of the Northern Faction attacked him viciously.
Despite Golden Cicada's strength, he was outmatched in battle. Gradually, he became exhausted and
was ultimately captured.
“I will not accept defeat!” he shouted defiantly to the sky.
Golden Cicada once held power over the Northern Faction and was highly respected by many.
Unfortunately, he ended up defeated by his very own subordinates. It was a humiliating experience for
him.
At the same time, Zeke brought Sole Wolf and Ares to the Northern Faction's base.
The entire Northern Faction had set out to attack the Southern Faction, leaving their base unguarded.
Zeke instructed Nameless and Ares, “The two of you, search for the Spirit Stones hidden by the
Northern Faction's Centurias. Once you locate them, return as quickly as possible.”
Aside from Sebastian's Spirit Stones which had been seized by Zeke, and Golden Cicada's Spirit
Stones which had been taken by Erebus, the other Centurias' Spirit Stones should still be with them.
Zeke wanted these Spirit Stones for himself.
“Got it!” Nameless and Ares immediately went to work.
Zeke stood still in his spot and waited patiently.
He and Sole Wolf had devised a plan. Sole Wolf would lure Erebus here, while Zeke would conceal
himself and launch a surprise attack to kill Erebus in one swift move.
Erebus' existence was a huge threat to them, so he must be eliminated.
Half an hour later, Ares and Nameless came back. They each had two heavy sacks on their backs.
Zeke declared, “Report your findings.”
Ares said, “I searched five camps. Two of them don't have any Spirit Stones, and the remaining three
have a total of five hundred pounds of Spirit Stones.”
Nameless replied, “I searched three camps. One was empty, and the other two have a total of three
hundred pounds of Spirit Stones.”
Zeke nodded. “Five hundred pounds and three hundred pounds. Including the over two hundred
pounds of Spirit Stones that we got from Sebastian, we have enough to create a perfect divine weapon.
I'm curious, though. Why were some camps devoid of Spirit Stones?”
Ares and Nameless exchanged a glance before shaking their heads to indicate that they had no idea
about that. Zeke remarked thoughtfully, “Perhaps they were sent to the outer areas and were given to the
Guardian of Mount Kush.”
What?
Ares and Nameless were taken aback. “What did you just say, Great Marshal? The Spirit Stones were
dispatched to the outer regions to the Guardian of Mount Kush? Are you saying that the Guardian of
Mount Kush is also here on Theos Island with Elder Erebus?”
Previously, Zeke told them about Erebus but kept them in the dark about the Guardian of Mount Kush.
Erebus' existence was a huge threat to them, so he must be eliminated.
Zeke nodded. “Yes. I am almost certain that the Guardian of Mount Kush is currently on Theos Island.
He is working together with Elder Erebus. Erebus is responsible for collecting Spirit Stones and
sending them to the Guardian of Mount Kush, who is in the outer regions of Theos Island. However, the
reason they are sending the Spirit Stones to the outer regions of Theos Island remains a mystery to
me.”
Ares and Nameless both tensed up.
After all, Erebus and the Guardian of Mount Kush were supreme beings who were capable of killing
them.
Now that both supreme beings had joined hands, they would have a hard time surviving on Theos
Island. Zeke instructed, “All right. Keep the Spirit Stones hidden. When Sole Wolf lures Elder Erebus here, we
shall kill him swiftly in one move. Listen to my order!”
Nameless was concerned. “Great Marshal, Sole Wolf is in the Peak Class while Elder Erebus is in the
Celestial Class. There is a significant difference in power between them. I'm afraid Sole Wolf will be at
risk before he successfully lures Elder Erebus here.”
Zeke reassured him, “Don't worry. I provided Sole Wolf with a way of protecting himself. He will be
fine.”
noveldrama“Oh, I'm glad to hear that.”
Hearing that, Ares and Nameless were able to relax slightly.
