Chris had also become an Ultimate Class warrior.
Connor, too, released an intense burst of energy with a sneer.
Although his energy had yet to take the form of Invincible Wave Energy, it was still much stronger than that of a
King Class warrior.
His rank was now truly close to Ultimate Class.
Frowning, Zeke and the others began to take their opponents seriously.
Jackson was an Ultimate Class warrior who was most likely as strong as Zeke was.
With Chris and Connor to assist him, Zeke and his group knew they would have a slim chance to emerge victorious
in this battle.
However, they refused to admit defeat.
Instead of showing their fear, they became even more ferocious.
Zeke assured in a hushed voice, “Don't be afraid. Don't forget the gift that the four Ultimate Class elders gave me.
It can turn things around at a critical moment.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEveryone shot him a curious look. “Can you tell us what's so special about that gift?”
Zeke did not answer, merely flashing them a mysterious smile. “You'll know when the time comes.”
Reduced to a perfect nonplus, they stared at him silently.
In truth, the others suspected that Zeke was simply comforting them and that he himself did not know the
significance of the gift.
At the same time, Chris pleaded, “Sir, please grant me the permission to kill Zeke Williams so that I can avenge the
deaths of my family members.”
“Permission granted!” Jackson readily agreed.
“Time to die!” Chris charged at Zeke.
“I'll help you, Father!” Connor yelled and followed him.
Soon, the two sides were embroiled in a fierce battle.
The battle between Ultimate Class warriors was a rare sight.
In no time, the battleground was instantly turned into a living hell.
However, the advantage the Blacks had against Zeke, in terms of numbers or strength, meant nothing to the latter.
As Zeke was too mighty, they were soon pummeled by him.
Jackson scolded, “How useless! The two of you can't even kill a man.”
Then, raising his voice, he commanded, “Attention, guardians!”
“Yes, sir!”
Four men in black robes hurriedly kneeled behind Jackson, awaiting his command.
“Zeke Williams is the biggest obstacle on Netherworld's path to take over Eurasia! I now order you to remove this
obstacle! Failure is not an option!”
“Understood!” the four men chorused and joined the battle.
With their participation, the tables were suddenly turned.
Zeke, who initially had the upper hand, was now at a disadvantage.
Of the four men, one of them was an Ultimate Class warrior, while the rest were close to the Ultimate Class.
No matter how powerful Zeke was, it was still impossible for him to hold out in a battle against two Ultimate Class
warriors and four warriors who were close to the Ultimate Class.
Soon after, he was forced to retreat backward.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing his predicament, Jackson gave another order by shouting, “Attention, members of the Tenth Branch of
Netherworld!”
Nearly a thousand subordinates shouted in unison, “Yes, sir!”
“These people killed many of our people, so they're our enemies. Kill them all and bring their heads to me to claim
your reward. One head for a chance to soak in Pool of Life for a day!”
“Yes, sir!”
The thousands of members of Netherworld lunged at Ares and the others.
Greedy for the attractive reward promised by Jackson, the people went all out in attacking Zeke's group.
Ares and the rest formed a circle, struggling to hold on.
Nonetheless, they knew they could not cope for long and would be defeated at any time.
Most of the members of the Tenth Branch were Archduke warriors, and at least fifty of them were King Class
warriors.
Meanwhile, on Ares' side, only he and Alfred were capable of putting up a fight.
As the rest had had their life force damaged, their ranks had dropped, and thus, they could not be of use in the
battle.
