Lord Protector Novel

Though both sides were equally matched at the start, the Four Royal Guards sustained heavy injuries.

As a result, the three heads were able to beat back the Four Royal Guards easily.

Meanwhile, Jaime picked up his phone. “What is it?”

“Mr. Carter, Zeke is currently heading toward Atheville!” came Manny's panicked voice. “He has deduced our plans and is putting a stop to it!”

D*mn it!

Jaime cursed under his breath before turning around to address the advance team.

“Pick up the pace, we do not have much time left.”

Spurred on by the order, the advance team fought even harder than before.

Within ten minutes, the president's forces had been completely subdued.

Aside from the numerous casualties, the others were taken as prisoners of war.

Even the Four Royal Guards were left on the ground spewing mouthfuls of blood from the severity of their injuries, having lost the will to fight.

With a long thin sword in hand, Jaime approached Emerald Dragon with cruel intent.

“What a pity for it to end this way. I have heard that you are a rare talent. You could have been something if you chose to serve under me. Since you chose to oppose me, the only other option for you is death.”

Emerald Dragon looked up as his face contorted into a hateful jeer. “Death? If I must die, you're coming with me!”

With a burst of his remaining strength, he jumped to his feet and leaped toward Jaime.

Being taken completely unaware, Jaime was unable to move in time and was tightly held by Emerald Dragon.

Before he could retaliate, Emerald Dragon channeled his life force one last time and exploded violently.

When Jaime realized what Emerald Dragon was doing, it was already too late as the force of the explosion sent him flying backward.

He landed in a heap some distance away with his ears ringing from the force of the explosion.

When Emerald Dragon was making his move, the other three Royal Guards lunged at the other three heads and with a final roar, blew themselves up in a similar fashion.

Three simultaneous explosions of the three King Class warriors was a terrifying force indeed. Aside from the deafening boom, the very fabric of time and space seemed to warp as if threatening to rip apart.

The skies turned dark without a trace of the sun or the moon from the impact. The shockwave was so powerful that it caused the collapse of several city walls in the distance.

The dust finally began to settle only after five minutes. There was no trace of the Four Royal Guards to be found.

Despite being the targets of the explosions, only one of the heads was killed.

Though the other three had sustained heavy injuries, they were not even close to death.

As they had anticipated an event like this to occur, they came prepared by donning blastproof armor.

It was an artifact that was capable of defending the lives of the heads of the Four Hidden Sects such as the armor was no ordinary item indeed.
