Zeke, too, jumped over Janus and continued the pursuit.

Five minutes later, he found himself at a fork in the road.

The tunnel had split into three, but no matter how hard Zeke tried to sense it, he could not pinpoint the direction

the culprit had gone.

Damn it! I can't sense his presence at all!

Feeling somewhat desperate, Zeke picked one of the tunnels at random and continued his search.

Unfortunately, that turned out to be the wrong choice as it only led him to a dead end.

Zeke could not hide the disappointment on his face as he trudged back to Janus' body.

There was no denying that Janus was dead as a doornail, which only made Zeke even more frustrated.

Argh! How am I supposed to locate Summerbank without Janus' help? And if I can't find Summerbank, how can I

save Lacey?

As soon as Zeke brought Janus back aboveground, Alfred and Ares quickly gathered around him.

“Great Marshal, what happened earlier?”

“We ran into a Tunneling expert. Even I was no match for him, and he managed to escape with Connor. But Janus,

as you can see, is done for,” Zeke grumbled.

“Damn it!” Ares said through gritted teeth. “I wonder who he could be. How dare he wreck your plan!”

“I did sense a trace of negative energy on him, though, so I'm pretty sure he's from Netherworld.”

Alfred pondered over Zeke's words and nodded solemnly. “Indeed. Netherworld is full of oddities, so I wouldn't be

surprised if they had warriors skilled in Tunneling.”

“And now that Janus is dead, we can only rely on ourselves to locate Summerbank,” Zeke mumbled.

“Alfred, heed my orders.”

Alfred promptly got on one knee and replied, “Yes, Great Marshal.”

“I want you to lead Azure Dragon to search for Summerbank around Mount Final.”

“Understood!”

With that, Alfred began his march toward Mount Final with Azure Dragon in tow.

As for the Spirit Stone mine, everyone knew it would be safe with an Ultimate Class like Zeke guarding it, so no one

was the least bit worried.

Ares tossed a tentative look at Zeke and asked, “Great Marshal, now that you've absorbed the energies of ten King

Class warriors, have you also attained a new rank? Is it possible to go beyond the Ultimate Class?”

“No. The Ultimate Class is unfathomable,” Zeke replied while shaking his head. “Even for myself, I think I'm only at

the middle. There's still a long way to go before I can surpass it.”

A flicker of disappointment instantly crossed Ares' face. “Wow, even after absorbing that much energy from the

warriors, you're still only at the middle level. When will ordinary martial artists like us ever get to your level? By the

way, Great Marshal, can you teach me Planetary Pull?”

“You want to learn? Sure,” Zeke answered with a chuckle. “The first step is to destroy your life force without killing

yourself.”

Ares' face fell at his reply.

If destroying one's life force was the prerequisite to learning Planetary Pull, then he knew it would be almost

impossible to achieve it.

After all, most people would not be able to survive past such a destructive process.

And among the lucky handful who succeeded, Zeke had to be the only one to have survived it not just once but

twice.

Now, all they could do was wait and hope for Alfred and Azure Dragon to find Summerbank.

Once they did, they would be able to heal Lacey and the Alpha Suicide Squad.

Even as they waited for Alfred's return, Zeke never once stopped gathering information on Netherworld.

However, Netherworld had always been shrouded in a cloud of mystery as they worked in the shadows.

Because of that, clues about them remained frustratingly scant.

Soon, five days had gone by in a blur.

Sadly, Lacey was still unconscious.

On the other hand, the Alpha Suicide Squad, Tyler, and Nameless were starting to regain consciousness under

Zeke's care.
