At this point, Zander was forced to accept the reality.
He roared, “Why? Why? This is unfair! I went through a lot and suffered greatly just to increase my power. All I
wanted was to return to Eurasia a stronger man and defeat the Great Marshal. Alas, I can't even harm him now.
This is unfair! So unfair!”
It was evident that Zander was utterly devastated.
Chuckling, Zeke said, “Zander, what you see might not be real.”
Something occurred to Zander, and hope flashed across his eyes. “What are you talking about? Are you saying that
wasn't your real ability? Did you use an artifact or something? Yes, that must be it. You must've used an artifact to
increase your strength!”
He then declared, “Zeke, if you dare, come at me using your own powers instead of resorting to artifacts!”
Zeke told him, “I didn't use any artifacts as they are useless to me.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe baffled Zander demanded, “Then why did you say that what I saw might not be real?”
“I didn't show my full strength to you. I'm actually much more powerful than you can imagine!” Zeke revealed.
“That's impossible!” Zander exclaimed.
Turns out Zeke is saying that he's more powerful than what he showed instead of weaker. I thought that was a
human's limit!
Zander would rather believe that Zeke was boasting.
Zeke smiled. “Aren't you curious as to why no one realized we are fighting here?”
Curiosity filled Zander's heart.
Yes, our fight was as loud as a bomb explosion. Everyone on the warship should've heard it by now. Why isn't
anyone coming to save me?
“Why?” asked Zander.
“Well, that's simple. I used my energy to form a barrier. No one outside the barrier can sense what is happening
inside,” came Zeke's answer.
“What?” Zander exclaimed.
The Great Marshal is capable of using his energy to create barriers? Wait, that's not the point. Most importantly, the
Great Marshal can defeat me easily while keeping the barrier intact!
Zander was devastated to realize the enormous gap between him and Zeke.
He wasn't even fit to serve Zeke!
Looks like the Great Marshal is so much stronger than me. I shouldn't have dreamed of getting his position!
Zander felt utterly embarrassed.
He forced himself to look at Zeke. “Zeke, I got unlucky and lost to you. You might be strong, but can you capture
me alive? Ha! Don't worry, for I won't let that happen!”
Having said that, Zander was prepared to self-destruct his life force.
He'd rather die than return to Eurasia as a prisoner.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNevertheless, Zeke wasn't about to let him die easily.
Zeke's energy materialized and restricted Zander's movements instantly. The latter couldn't even summon his own
energy within his body!
It was impossible for him to blow up his life force if he couldn't summon his energy.
Zander wanted to yell out loud to express his frustrations.
Unfortunately, he couldn't even breathe, let alone make a sound.
An icy grin flitted across Zeke's lips as he stared at Zander. “Before I get the answer I want, you won't die.”
Zander used his consciousness to communicate with Zeke: “Ha! Even if I have to die, I won't reveal a word! You
should keep restricting me until I suffocate and die.”
Zeke announced, “Zander, I believe everyone has their weaknesses. Coincidentally, I have full control over your
Achilles' heel.”
Zander: “Haha! I'm all alone, so there's no Achilles' heel. Just kill me if you want. Stop wasting time talking
nonsense!”
