Now, whenever Golden Cicada recalled that gruesome bloodbath, he'd undoubtedly feel chills running down his
spine.
How can anyone be so vicious and cold-blooded? This man must be the devil!
Just then, Erebus' voice rang out. “Golden Cicada, do you think your subordinates died because of me?”
What bullsh*t is that? Of course, it is! I saw him killing them with my own eyes!
Despite his anger, Golden Cicada knew better than to provoke Erebus. “N-No... I-It's not you...”
“Tell me the truth!”
“Y-Yes...” Golden Cicada stuttered helplessly. “I-It's you...”
“Wrong!” Erebus retorted. “They might have died at my hands, but I'm not the real culprit! I killed them to
complete my plan, and this plan is targeted at Zeke Williams! Therefore, these people died because of him! Zeke
Williams is the one responsible for this bloodshed!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlthough Golden Cicada was still quietly seething, he quickly nodded. “Yes, yes!”
Oh, come on. Is he f*cking kidding me? If Zeke Williams was his target all along, what was the point of killing my
men? Is he out of his mind?
“Do you want to exact revenge?” Erebus added. “I can give you the opportunity if you like.”
Not knowing what to say, Golden Cicada merely looked up at Erebus and trembled with fright.
Even though he was the commander of the Northern Faction's Centuria and was used to acting all high and mighty,
he was powerless against a warrior like Erebus. Not only had he lost all bravado, but he was also scared out of his
wits.
Argh! What else can I do but go along with him? Even if he wants me to die, I'll have to say yes.
“Answer me! Do you want to take revenge or not?” Erebus shouted.
“I-I'll do as you say, Elder Erebus... If you want me to take revenge, I'll gladly do so. Otherwise, I won't!”
Needless to say, Erebus was both amused and exasperated. “Are you a f*cking idiot? Your friends and family have
been killed. Shouldn't you be dying to seek revenge?”
“Yes! Of course, I do!”
“Good,” Erebus replied with a nod. “In that case, I'll give you a chance to carry out your revenge. Gather all the
forces in Northern Faction and attack Southern Faction. Wipe them all out if you can. Zeke Williams is too powerful
for you to take on, but no matter. I'll help you deal with him.”
Golden Cicada nodded fearfully. “Y-Yes. I'll follow your orders, Elder Erebus.”
“Go on, then.”
With that, Golden Cicada staggered off.
It was only when he had walked far enough and was certain Erebus had let him off the hook that he finally heaved a
sigh of relief.
Oh, thank goodness I managed to stay alive... My team might have been wiped out, but I'm glad I'm still standing.
Meanwhile, Erebus pulled out a unique communication device and dialed a number.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe call got through in just a few rings, and soon, the voice of the Guardian of Mount Kush could be heard on the
other end.
“Elder Erebus, what can I do for you?”
“Hello, Guardian of Mount Kush. How's your formation coming along?”
“Don't worry. The basic foundation's all set up. Just a few more tweaks here and there, and it'd be good to go,” the
Guardian replied. “Once my Mount Kush formation is completed, I'd have no problem trapping Theos inside. When
that time comes, I'll hand him to you. I only want the Fortuna that he devoured.”
“Okay. Be sure to complete it as soon as possible. We don't have much time left.”
“How are things over at Zeke's now? No matter what, we can't let him forge any divine weapons. Otherwise, he
might use them to kill Theos. Even if my Mount Kush formation is a success, it'd be useless if the plan falls apart.”
“You can rest assured that he won't be able to forge any weapons,” Erebus answered. “I've already gained control
of all Spirit Stones in the Centuria's district of the Northern Faction. What Zeke currently had wasn't even enough to
forge a top-quality divine weapon. Not only would a normal divine weapon not do him any good, but it might also
end up being a burden. Either way, it wouldn't pose a threat to Theos.”
