Dodging quickly to the side, Zeke watched Ossa Dei's attack striking the spot he had stood in moments before.
With a violent twitch, Ossa Dei threw the dragon off of it, and Fortuna screeched in pain.
Zeke gave a wry smile. I knew you had integrity in you, Fortuna. You're not a coward, after all. You were planning on
a surprise assault.
On the other hand, Fortuna was adamant about refuting it. You've misunderstood. I only wanted to absorb its aura.
You need to quickly think of a retaliation strategy, Zeke. I don't think I can hold out for much longer.
Zeke gazed at Ossa Dei grimly and made up his mind for the worst.
Daemonium cackled gleefully. “If I'm guessing right, Zeke, you have exhausted all your trump cards. If that is so,
you will excuse Ossa Dei and me for not showing you mercy. As my greatest threat, you and your men will die
today. Upon your death, Eurasia will be mine.”
Zeke glared at Daemonium. “Out of trump cards? Oh, no. You've underestimated me.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“What?” Daemonium cried disbelievingly. “You have another trump card? Don't talk nonsense.”
“You've underestimated Eurasia's desire to win,” Zeke said quietly.
Daemonium chuckled. “Are you telling me that your trump card is a strong desire to win?”
“Why not?” Zeke said.
Daemonium laughed so hard that his whole body shook. “To tell you the truth, my desire to win is greater than
yours. Nobody in the world would bother with disciplined cultivation if wanting to win was all it took. I think you have
been scared witless, Great Marshal.”
Zeke gave a wry smile. “No, your desire to win is nothing compared to mine. In order to win and protect the people
of Eurasia, I'm willing to make any sacrifice, including blowing up my life force!”
He looked at Ossa Dei grimly. “Do you think your and Ossa Dei's combined force could withstand the explosion of a
Celestial Class warrior's life force?”
Daemonium turned pale at his words as he did not expect that Zeke's desire to win extended to voluntary self-
destruction.
Daemonium was forced to admit that the explosion of a Celestial Class warrior's life force could let loose a power
hundreds of times stronger than their combined force in a split second and would pose a tangible risk to his and
Ossa Dei's lives.
Sole Wolf and the others were shocked by Zeke's proclamation.
We would rather die and fall down Eighteen Levels of Hell than allow the Great Marshal to suffer such indignity! It is
a great shame for the Great Marshal to be forced by the enemy to blow up his life force.
“No, Zeke!” Sole Wolf shouted. “Even if we blow up our life forces today, we will not allow you to suffer the same
humiliation! You are the symbol of hope in my beloved Eurasia. Nothing must happen to you.”
He turned around to look at Ares and the rest. “Ares, Nameless, Alfred, Tyler, are you in for one huge, final hurrah
with me?”
Ares and the rest roared with boisterous and maniacal laughter. “Hah! Why not?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Good,” Sole Wolf answered. “Though our combined power is not equivalent to that of a Celestial Class warrior, we
would still be able to kill several Celestial Class warriors in the blast if we all self-destruct simultaneously. Let's blow
up our life forces and take down Ossa Dei with us. What say you?”
Ares and the others leaped forward to stand alongside Sole Wolf. “It is my honor to die for the Great Marshal.”
“Stop, all of you!” Zeke cried, all composure forgotten. “You are no match for Ossa Dei. Do not engage, I repeat, do
not engage. This is an order.”
Sole Wolf and the rest gazed sadly at Zeke. “We've obeyed your orders our entire lives, Zeke. Allow us to defy them
just this once.”
“If you lament the time we've spent together this life being too short, we'll be brothers again in the next. Let's kill
them, brothers!”
The group leaped at the battle cry and charged toward Ossa Dei.
“No!” Zeke roared.
However, Sole Wolf and the rest ignored Zeke as their charge grew in velocity.
