He 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

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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZeke 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.”
“Oh, I'm glad to hear that.”
Hearing that, Ares and Nameless were able to relax slightly.
