Lord Protector Novel

Instead of letting Lacey and Missy come to me, that man wants me to go retrieve them myself... As it could be a trap meant for me, having Sole Wolf do it would be the best option. I'm the strongest among my men. If I fall into this man's trap, then everyone else will surely fall as well. Should the same happen to Sole Wolf, I can at least keep them safe.

After giving it some thought, Zeke nodded and agreed to it, “Okay.”

However, Sole Wolf had only taken a step forward when the voice spoke up again, “Hold it right there. As I said, Zeke has to come and take them away himself. If anyone else tries to do it for him, I will have no choice but to kill them.”

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat when they realized there really was a trap.

Zeke took a deep breath and patted Sole Wolf on the shoulder as he said, “You stay here.”

“But—”

“That's an order.”

Sole Wolf had no choice but to comply with a sigh.

Zeke then slowly made his way toward Lacey and Missy while his men clenched their teeth and braced themselves for battle.

Fortunately, he managed to reach Lacey and Missy without anything happening.

“Lacey, Missy, let's go,” Zeke said as he reached out to grab them, but neither of them showed any response.

Suddenly, a bright light came shining from the statue and enveloped all three of them.

In that instant, Zeke felt as though his brain had been rattled inside his head, and his mind went blank as he began to lose his balance.

The bright light seemed to be draining his ability to focus and stay concentrated.

“Oh, no! Look! The Great Marshal's shadow is fading! I think this light is cutting his shadow!”

What? Cutting his shadow? Everyone knows Warren came from a shadow that was removed from Zeke's body! Could it be that this man is the one who created Warren? Is he trying to create another “Warren” right now?

Sole Wolf and the others were about to charge forward, but Zeke shouted at them through clenched teeth, “Stand back! This is an order! This is a Soul Splitter spell! Your souls will be torn apart if you step into the light! I'll be fine, so just wait for me outside!”

What? Soul Splitter? That's a forbidden secret art in Buddhism! It shreds a person's soul into fragments, leaving them either in a zombie-like state or dead with their soul incomplete! Depending on the severity of their condition, those who are affected by it will either end up in a zombie-like state or die with their soul incomplete! However, the spell is no longer being taught and has been banned long ago because it violates the Buddhist principles of kindness and compassion. Who knew there were still Buddhist monks practicing such a spell...

The light was draining Zeke's willpower and weakening him so much that he was slowly slipping into unconsciousness.

This spell is so powerful that even the Great Marshal can't handle it.
