Chapter 1665
As Willow used to be Eurasia's top female Archduke, she was undeniably a calculating person.
Knowing that his game was up, Zeke had no choice but to show himself.
“Ha! Great Marshal, you didn't think I'd fall for your little trick, did you?” Willow scoffed. “You've sorely underestimated the members of Netherworld.”
Zeke took a deep breath and replied, “Willow, I know you'd never sell out your country for fame and fortune. Were you forced to join Netherworld because of some difficulties? Tell me, and I may be able to help you.”
Zeke paused before continuing, “If you willingly hand over the information about Netherworld, I can even guarantee your safety and give you back your position as the Archduke.”
Unfortunately, Willow could not care less about Zeke's offer.
“Netherworld has given me my life and everything else that I have. Thus, I pledge my loyalty to them and only them. What's so hard to understand?”
“Willow, you're forcing my hand!” Zeke let out a disappointed sigh.
“Bring it on then. Show me what an Ultimate Class warrior like you is capable of!”
At that, Zeke hesitated.
Willow is my only clue to Netherworld. How can I destroy that?
“I'm giving you one last chance, Willow,” Zeke said firmly. “Even if you don't want to tell me where Netherworld is, I can still spare your life if you can give me Summerbank's location.”
Willow smirked. “That's okay. I'm prepared to die anyway. You don't have to persuade me any further.”
Zeke was now boiling with anger as he thundered, “Death, you say? I shall give you what you asked for!”
The next moment, he released a blast of Invincible Wave Energy toward Willow.
Willow was unfazed as she countered with negative energy.
Negative energy was one wielded only by those from Netherworld, but no matter how strong it was, it still paled in comparison to Zeke's.
Under the relentless attack of Zeke's Invincible Wave Energy, Willow only managed to hold out for three seconds before his attack pierced through her shield.
With Willow's negative energy destroyed, the backlash, too, damaged her life force.
Ultimately, Zeke's Invincible Wave Energy overwhelmed her and left her holding onto her last breath.
Zeke walked toward Willow and stared down at her.
“On account of the contributions you've made for Eurasia in the past, you can tell me if you have any last wishes. I'll help you fulfill them.”
In her final moments, Willow struggled to grab Zeke's arm and whispered, “Way down south of Mount Final lives a God!”
Once the last word left her mouth, Willow's body went limp and stopped moving.
Zeke frowned.
Way down south of Mount Final lives a God? Is that Willow's hint at the location of Summerbank?
The more Zeke thought about it, the more convinced he was.
Yes, that has to be it! Summerbank is in the southernmost part of Mount Final! But why would Willow suddenly reveal the location of Summerbank when she had vehemently refused to do so earlier?
Then, it dawned on Zeke.
It was likely that Willow was not in control of her conscious mind previously because Netherworld had manipulated her spiritual energy.
However, after Zeke destroyed her life force and negative energy, she regained her sanity long enough to tell him the location of Summerbank.
That realization, unfortunately, only pained Zeke even more. Willow had only been under Netherworld's manipulation. She was no traitor at all.
Without hesitation, Zeke removed his Ammo Needle and administered it to Willow in an attempt to
extend her life.
Alas, Willow had already lost all signs of life, and not even the Ammo Needle could help.
Zeke sighed softly, saddened that Eurasia had once again lost its heroine.
He carried Willow in his arms and made his way back to Devonville Restricted Zone with a heavy heart.
Meanwhile, Ares and the rest had been worrying themselves sick about Zeke.
Seeing that he was well and alive, they heaved a collective sigh of relief.
