Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams)

Chapter 2818 Death Awaits Both Of You

Despite Erebus' cries, there was no response.

Instead, it was Warren who spoke in a mocking tone. "Are you looking for the guardian? I can help you find him."

Hmm?

Warren's voice caused Erebus' heart to drop as a sense of dread descended upon him.

This tone and attitude... It isn't like Warren at all. The aura he's exuding is entirely different too. Damn it, don't tell me he's someone else...

Theos stomped his feet, causing the Guardian of Mount Kush to spring up from the ground where he was previously buried.

After he failed to struggle free from the spiritual energy cage, the guardian's last hope was for Erebus to rescue him.

However, he saw Erebus trapped within the Soul Pinion Formation the moment he emerged from the ground.

F*ck, I can't depend on Elder Erebus anymore. He's now trapped, just like me.

Erebus, too, was shocked to see the Guardian of Mount Kush. "F*ck! Why the hell are you hiding in the ground? Hurry up and free me."

The Guardian of Mount Kush let out a sigh. "I'm sorry, Elder Erebus. I can't even save myself. You're on your own now."

What is he saying?

Erebus failed to see that the guardian was being held down by spiritual energy.

The Guardian of Mount Kush exclaimed, "I'm being pressured by spiritual energy, and my body is about to explode."

"Spiritual energy?" Erebus was shocked. "Where is it coming from? Who did this? Tell me who did this!"

The Guardian of Mount Kush shifted his gaze toward Warren. "Your disciple is the one behind it."

Warren!

Erebus roared through his gritted teeth, "You're not Warren! You're someone else. Who the hell are you? Tell me! Tell me!" An insidious smile flashed across Warren's face. "Why don't you make a guess? I'm sure you'll be able to guess correctly." After pondering a moment, Erebus was filled with despair when the answer struck him.

"Theos. You're Theos!"

How smart!

Theos broke out in laughter.

Oh my God!

Erebus was about to be drowned in his own exasperation.

From the day he arrived on Theos Island, he had put all his efforts into completing the Soul Pinion Formation just to ensnare Theos.

Little did he expect Theos to find them before they found him. Moreover, Theos had used the formation they were going to trap him with to imprison them.

This is the unluckiest day of my life!

"I have a question for you. Do you want to live, or do you want to die?" Theos started.

Erebus asked, "What are the conditions for either choices?"

"If you choose death, I can give your life a swift end. Since the Netherworld and Kush Clan fought side by side with the Gods in the past, I'll grant you the mercy of a quick death for old times' sake. But if you choose to live, you'll have to help me kill Zeke."

After giving the matter due consideration, Erebus nodded. "No problem. We can help you eliminate Zeke. He's our mortal enemy after all."

"To ensure that both of you won't betray me, I need you to sign a master and slave contract."

"No way!" Erebus' reaction was exactly the same as the Guardian of Mount Kush's.

Both of them were proud men who would never allow themselves to be enslaved by someone of a different kind.

The humiliation extended beyond the individual and would affect their respective races.

"Fine." Theos gave his shoulders a shrug. "In that case, I'll have no choice but to kill you. To be honest, I don't really care whether both of you help me out or not."

Just as he spoke, Theos prepared to take both their lives.

"Wait! Wait!" Erebus cried out frantically. "Give me some time to think about it. Considering the gravity of the decision, I don't have a ready answer. Please allow me the opportunity to weigh the pros and cons."

Theos sniggered in response. "You're just trying to buy time for your escape, just like the Guardian of Mount Kush. Forget it. There's no way either of you can leave. That said, I'm happy to give you some time. Tonight, I must have my answer. Otherwise, both of you will meet your maker."
