Chapter 1260

He even felt a faint spiritual energy coming from deep within the cave.

Meanwhile, the base of the mountain had been completely surrounded by Wolf’s Greed’s men.

Wolf’s Greed was sitting at the entrance of the cave, closing his eyes to rest.

His face was drained of all color, and his body had turned rigid. It was clear as day that he had been poisoned.

Right at that moment, one of the medics was attending to Wolf’s Greed.

When Wolf’s Greed saw Zeke, he tried to get up, but Zeke placed a hand on his shoulder and instructed, “Don’t move. How’s your injury?”

Wolf’s Greed forced himself to smile, “It’s nothing but a few scratches. Nothing to be worried about.”

Zeke took Wolf’s Greed’s pulse and ascertained that he was not in danger. He felt relieved and queried, “How many moves did Pike take to beat you?”

Wolf’s Greed sighed, “I’ve failed you. I lost within three moves.”

Three moves? Zeke was taken aback.

Wolf’s Greed is a Gold Archduke class fighter. After I’ve injured Pike, he should’ve dropped to Silver Archduke class. He shouldn’t have been Wolf’s Greed’s match. However, he managed to beat Wolf’s Greed in three moves. There’s only one explanation -- he’s already restored his strength by absorbing some sort of universal energy. In fact, he may even have improved. It’s highly likely that he’s now of the Platinum Archduke class.

Zeke ordered, “Lead the men to barricade the cave. It’s time Pike and I had a rematch.”

Wolf’s Greed called out to Zeke, “Wait! I’ve already called the Alpha Suicide Squad to assemble here.

Let’s regroup before annihilating Pike.”

Zeke’s life force has been damaged, so he’s surely no match for Pike in his current state! The only way he could beat him is to draw out the full extent of his life force and unleash it in one battle! However, that would mean that the Great Marshal would no longer be able to fight in the future.

Zeke shook his head solemnly, “We can’t wait. The longer we wait, the higher the chances that Pike will become King class. When that happens, the entire Eurasia would be at his mercy. As a great marshal, I’d have failed in my duty. So what if I survive this?”

Wolf’s Greed fell silent.

He knew that Zeke was telling the truth.

The best option Eurasia could take was to sacrifice the Great Marshal to kill Pike.

Thus, today could very well be the day the Great Marshal ceased to exist.

This fact crushed Wolf’s Greed’s heart.

Zeke picked up his phone and strode into the cave.

Wolf’s Greed’s eyes turned red. After all, it was highly likely that Zeke would not be able to come out of this cave alive.

He got up and saluted Zeke, “Don’t worry! To secure your safety and Eurasia’s future, I’ll guard this place with my life!”

There was a strong rotting stench coming from the pitch-black cave.

Countless precious jewels and treasures were along the corridor and inside the cave, but none of them caught Zeke’s attention.

He only had one thought in his mind - Find and kill Pike.

After walking for over half an hour, Zeke finally reached the end of the cave.

What greeted Zeke was not a Spirit Stone mine as expected, but a large and heavy door.

A figure dressed in white was meditating by the door with his eyes closed.

That man was Pike.

There was an endless flow of energy from the closed doors, and Pike was absorbing it all in.

Zeke could feel it as well.

The invisible aura Pike was exuding was much stronger than it was before.

That meant that he had not only restored his original strength but also improved it.

Right then, Pike’s eyes opened slowly.

“I didn’t expect you to be able to survive the explosion after taking my Frostbite Poison. Very well then.

I was itching to kill you myself!”
