Lord Protector Novel

Now, there were two kilometers of flat land ahead of them, with everything burned to the ground.

Even the bigger rocks were turned into ashes.

It looked like the aftermath of an explosion.

Zeke said, “The King’s Combat Skill that I created can only affect one person as I did earlier to Black Dragon. When I use the Seven Stars of the Tiger, I can reduce a two-kilometer piece of land to nothing. Which skill do you think is stronger?”

Sole Wolf gulped. “Zeke, can I ask you something?”

Zeke responded, “Speak your mind.”

Sole Wolf asked, “Is there any other power level above the King Class?”

Zeke took a deep breath before he answered, “According to the ancient records, there is an Ultimate Class. However, no one has confirmed its existence so far.”

Sole Wolf praised, “Zekky, based on what I can see in your powers, I think you have already reached the Ultimate Class.”

Zeke shook his head and disagreed, “From my hunch, with the Seven Stars of the Tiger, I have just achieved the maximum I can as a King Class warrior. I still face an obstacle before achieving a higher class. Besides, I don’t even know if there is an Ultimate Class above the King Class.”

Sole Wolf argued, “Who cares whether there is an Ultimate Class. You have already achieved everything you can with King Class, and even if someone else attains King Class, they will still be no match for you. You are the top master of the martial arts circle.”

Zeke laughed.

Even though Sole Wolf was exaggerating some parts of what he just said, he was not entirely wrong.

He could probably maintain his position at the top for a long time.

At a canyon in the North, an avalanche broke out a few days ago.

A large amount of snow buried half the canyon.

Under two hundred meters of that thick snow, there was a deep cave at the bottom of the canyon.

There was a figure moving in the cave.

That was Connor, who had leapt off the cliff to escape from the North’s soldiers.

After he jumped off the cliff, the soldiers threw a large number of bombs down causing an avalanche.

Right then, Connor crawled into the cave and barely escaped death.

Nevertheless, he was rather tortured by the freezing temperature and the injuries he had sustained from the jump. All these made him feel like his death was fast approaching.

“No, I can’t die! The Prince’s Residence was destroyed, and my father was killed. I can’t face my ancestors if I die before taking my revenge. I must live on!”

Connor’s eyes burned with the will to survive.

He endured the excruciating pain all over his body and crawled towards the opening of the cave.

The nearer he was to the exit, the colder it became.

By the time he reached the opening, he was completely exhausted and could not even stand on his feet, let alone crawl out from the pile of heavy snow.

Hence, he took a deep breath to calm himself down.

Then, he made a bold decision to escape by using his life force.

If he did so, he would become crippled.

However, if he did not do that, he would die here.

Between the two choices, it was clear which one he would pick.
