Chapter - 2872

Zeke sighed in response. "It seems that we have no choice but to explore blindly."

Soon, Pangolin and Anteater, who were just meditating on the ground, sprang up into the air abruptly.

The aura they exuded was significantly more powerful than before.

From the way they looked, Zeke could tell that they had successfully absorbed the spirit pills.

When both of them landed on the ground, they knelt before Zeke.

"Mr. Williams, thank you for the mercy you have granted us. Now that we have completed our absorption of the pills and regained the peak of our strength, we will be at your service until the day we die."

Zeke responded with a chuckle, "I'm glad to hear that. Now, let's head out and find that divine weapon."

Since they didn't know where to start, they resigned themselves to picking a random direction.

Just like that, the group set off enthusiastically with Zeke in the lead.

After journeying for a short while, Alfred fell onto the ground with a thud.

The group was already feeling on edge, so the sight of Alfred collapsing gave them a huge fright. While all of them drew their weapons and maintained a vigilant stance, Zeke hurried to Alfred's side.

"Are you all right, Alfred?"

Alfred took a deep breath. "A moment ago... My vision went dark, and... and I could barely stand. My body... feels. very weak."

Alfred fainting from weakness? How is that possible? He is an Ultimate Class warrior who has reached the peak of physical ability. His body is tougher than rock, so how can he faint?

"D*mn it!"

At that moment, Tyler cussed as his body began swaying unsteadily. Fortunately, he managed to keep his balance by holding onto a rock beside him.

"F*ck!" Quinlan, too, cursed under his breath. "Our bodies are being eroded by the death aura. It's so pure that even I didn't notice it. Everyone, unleash your energy right now to dispel the death aura!"

"Death aura? What is that?"

Zeke was stunned, for this was the first time he heard of it.

Quinlan exclaimed, "There's no time to explain. Deploy your energy now to expel it!"

No sooner had he finished than Quinlan sat on the ground to channel. his energy throughout his body.

Brows furrowed, Sole Wolf and the others did as they were told but were quickly shocked. “D*mn it, my energy is being eaten away by a strange aura!”

"Quick, dispel the death aura!"

With that, everyone squatted on the ground together with Sole Wolf.

As Pangolin and Anteater were spirits with physical bodies, they too were being eaten away by the death aura.

Hence, they had no choice but to do the same as the others.

This sucks! Just when we have recovered our strength, our bodies are being corroded by the death aura.

Meanwhile, Zeke was surprised when he saw the condition Lacey was in.

Her cheeks were pinkish, and her breathing was steady. She clearly didn't suffer from the effects of the death aura.

Zeke anxiously asked, “Lacey, are you feeling any discomfort now?"

She shook her head in response. "Not at all. I'm just a little sleepy because it's close to my naptime."

Zeke and the others were rendered speechless.

At that instant, Zeke was certain that Lacey was not corroded by the death aura at all.

Given that Tyler and Alfred, two Ultimate Class warriors, can barely stand after being corroded, Lacey would probably be halfdead if she was affected. But now, she doesn't seem bothered by it at all.

Even though Zeke channeled his energy through his body, he, too, didn't feel anything strange, let alone the presence of the death aura.

The realization took him by surprise.

With regard to Lacey not being affected by it, Zeke suspected that it was because her body didn't generate any energy.

Unlike her, I'm a martial artist brimming with energy. So why am I unaffected too? This is really weird.

More than ten minutes later, Quinlan finally expelled the death aura from his body.

Even then, there was no time to catch a break, for he still needed to maintain the energy flow in his body to keep the death aura out.
