Lord Protector Novel

“That's what I thought too,” Zeke agreed.

“From what I know, only the Progenitor can command the Myriad Worm Formation, so I'm guessing Worm King is actually the Progenitor that Cesar has been nurturing all this while. He's after Dawn because she's of the Dragon Bloodline. He needs her to be the Holy Maiden. Once he has both the Progenitor and the Holy Maiden, he will be able to start another Black Muraco Clan. I bet this has been his goal all along!”

It was a moment of realization for Sole Wolf and the others.

“What you said makes sense. He went to great lengths to grow a Progenitor and find someone to act as the Holy Maiden. I can't think of another reason other than building a Black Muraco Clan again. That darn clan had done atrocious acts in the past. We cannot allow those unforgivable deeds to repeat themselves. The only thing we can do now is to annihilate the Progenitor and kill Cesar.”

“Yes. We should go for the leader first. Get the sorcerer and Worm King!” Zeke ordered.

Sole Wolf and the others prepared for battle. ”Lift the barrier, Zeke. We're ready for combat. They might be strong, but we're much stronger. It's time we fight!”

Zeke shook his head. “They're just a bunch of worms. Killing them doesn't even require you guys to do anything.”

With that said, Zeke used his energy to maneuver the barrier.

The energy barrier turned into a vast net, wrapping around the worms.

When they realized they were trapped, the worms started to find ways to escape, but none of their efforts were successful because the net was just too sturdy and dense.

Zeke continued strengthening his web as his group chartered ahead at the bottom of the cliff for around two kilometers until they felt the thickness of the bodies under their feet begin to thin.

From afar, Zeke saw Worm King flying mid-air, flapping its wings vigorously as it let out a buzzing sound, trying to control the formation with its mental energy.

Meanwhile, Cesar was seated on the other side, collaborating with Worm King mentally to help keep the formation intact.

When Zeke and the rest survived unscathed, Worm King and Cesar were both appalled.

“How can this be? How are they unscathed? D*mn it! I underestimated him! This bunch of useless worms! I fed you all for nothing!” Cesar cried out angrily.

“So this is the best you can do? You're weak! Do you have a better trick? If not, you'd better surrender!” Zeke ridiculed.

Cesar looked helpless and dejected when he realized his inevitable defeat.

He knew there was no more hope.

Even his Myriad Worm Formation was no match for Zeke.

Cesar sighed and said, “Worm King, I guess I've treated you well all this time, haven't I?”

Worm King let out a loud noise in reply while it was still using its mental energy to control the Myriad Worm Formation.

“I treated you like my own all this while. Since you know you're indebted to me, it's time you show your gratitude. I hope you understand,” said Cesar.
