Cesar was shaken. “The Dragon Bloodline... I can't believe I overlooked that, but no. But, I'm not really convinced of
the power of the Dragon Bloodline.”
While they spoke, the sorcerer used his mind to communicate with the Heart-Bound Worm in Dawn. However, little
did he know that the worm in Dawn's body was already subdued by Zeke.
The worm was with Zeke at that time, waiting to backlash against Cesar.
Upon Zeke's order, the Heart-Bound Worm started feeding on Cesar, catching him unguarded.
Cesar coughed up a mouthful of blood as he fell back three steps.
“This can't be happening!” he barked, wiping away the blood on his mouth. “I can't believe you tamed it and are
using it for your own! I've underestimated you!”
“As I said, it's not too late for you to surrender. We promise to not dismember your body after you die if you tell us
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇteverything.”
Cesar tilted his head, glaring at Zeke antipathically. “Do you really think the Heart-Bound Worm is the only weapon I
have? It's time you experience the ace up my sleeve!”
Zeke raised his brows in amusement. “Oh, okay. I can't wait. Don't say I didn't give you a chance to show your
trump card.”
Then, Cesar patted the head of the Worm King, whispering, “Worm King, I've put in so much effort and resources to
train you. It's your time to shine now. Destroy them, and I'll reward you generously.”
Creek!
Worm King was instantly emboldened. It flapped its wings aggressively, getting ready for combat.
Leveraging its mental energy, the Worm King started draining and wrecking the enemies' mental energy.
Given its extraordinarily strong energy, no one would have survived his blow—not even a warrior. They could easily
lose their sanity or even become comatose, but this was not the case for Zeke and the rest.
They were all formidable and highly-trained warriors.
Worm King's attack was futile. It did not even cause them significant damage.
The group looked at the worm, unperturbed.
After some time, Zeke started losing patience. He channeled his mental energy and launched a counterattack.
Despite not going all out, Zeke's half-hearted attack was enough to vanquish Worm King.
Effortlessly, Zeke destroyed Worm King's mentality.
Blood spurted from its mouth, and its wings were rendered immobile as it dropped, half-dead.
Zeke was quick to realize that there was a scent of human blood and flesh coming from Worm King's blood.
It must have eaten a lot of humans. I bet it ate all the people Crippled Williams brought here.
Cesar was flustered when he saw that Worm King was defeated. He rushed over and picked up his pet. “Worm
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKing! Are you okay? Hang in there!”
Worm King moved its wings slightly, conveying the message that it was still alive.
Cesar was slightly consoled when he saw that it was still showing signs of life.
When he looked back up at Zeke, there was fear written all over his face. The calmness and tranquility that filled his
countenance before that had disappeared.
“Fine. Turns out I messed with the wrong person, but you know what? There's no turning back for me now. Mine is a
path of darkness, and it's the only way for me. Since you guys are here already, I guess I have no choice but to
fight till my death. I will do everything I can to stop you. Do you accept the challenge? Come down and face me if
you dare!”
With that said, Cesar jumped and went back down into the cliff with Worm King in his arms.
“Go after him!” Zeke roared. At his command, everyone leaped and chased after Cesar.
There was a thick fog at the base of the cliff, and the visibility was so low that they lost sight of Cesar, but Zeke was
not worried at all.
His energy had already identified Cesar's location.
Since it was a deep cliff, the free fall took about half a minute before they reached the bottom.
