Lord Protector Novel

As soon as his words fell, the others gasped. Did he just say it had utterly dominated him? He must be kidding!

Zeke looked in the direction where the huge hand had disappeared and said solemnly, “Chase after it!”

Although he knew it was almost impossible for the others to catch up to it, he wasn't ready to just give up. I'm Lacey's last hope! I can't give up!

“Roger that!” Sole Wolf and the others chased after it unhesitatingly.

Obviously, they weren't going to defy their Great Marshal's order.

Zeke wanted to chase after it as well. However, the moment he tried to use his energy, he felt a sharp pain in his body, and he started vomiting blood again. That huge hand seriously injured me, and it even damaged my life force. I can't use my energy anymore. Without it, I'm only a little faster than a normal human.

After taking a deep breath, he had no choice but to give up chasing after the hand. If I continue using my life force to chase after it, I might die. My daughter still needs me. I can't die!

He then looked in the direction where the huge hand had gone and gritted his teeth. “Lacey, don't worry. No matter what, I'll save you! I don't care where that huge hand came from. Since it dared to bully my woman, I must kill it!”

With that, he started limping back home.

The dragon Fortuna coughed out a mouthful of blood and said weakly, “Zeke, don't worry. I doubt Lacey is going to be in any danger.”

He had suffered a few broken bones, and his life force was also damaged, leaving him on the brink of death.

“Oh? How are you so sure?” Zeke asked.

“I felt it. When the huge hand was grabbing onto that stream of Fortuna, its grip was tremendously powerful. However, when it was grabbing onto Lacey, its strength decreased by a lot, not anywhere close to being able to hurt her. If it was trying to harm her, why did it purposely decrease its strength?” Fortuna answered.

Zeke felt slightly relieved. “Yes. You have a point. Yet, why did it want Lacey? She's just an ordinary woman.”

The dragon Fortuna smiled wryly in response. “Ordinary? I highly doubt it! Didn't you notice? Even though Lacey was less than a meter away from that Fortuna, she wasn't the slightest bit injured. Instead, she merely fainted. Ordinary people would've been turned into a human paste and died on the spot! Therefore, she's not an ordinary woman. In my opinion, I think Lacey's background is a lot more complicated than we first thought.”

Zeke fell into deep thought and nodded. Lacey, what other secrets are you hiding? How I wish you and I could be ordinary. That way, we can live like ordinary people. However, I'm the Great Marshal. There's no way I'll ever live a normal life.

“Fortuna, you've done well in protecting Lacey. I'll reward you handsomely,” Zeke uttered.

“Haha! That's not necessary. I was just doing my job. If you insist, you should just give me Ossa Dei,” Fortuna replied.
