Chapter 3769 Zeratul’s Choice (Part 2)
When Zeratul walked out of the subspace, Locke carefully discovered that there were a large number of protoss survivors in that subspace, who were being guarded by Zeratul.
The number is roughly around 20,000, and there are no battleships or airships. They seem to be the pure remnants of the Protoss Dark Templar warriors.
The appearance of a seventh-level knight master made Zeratul lose all confidence to continue fighting, not to mention that due to the previous severe injuries from Kakarot and the Fountain of Destruction, Zeratul was also seriously injured at this time.
This should be the first time that Locke looked at Zeratul very carefully. A level 6 strongman like this who embarked on the path of assassination should lurk in the darkness throughout his life, rather than live in the sun.
If he had to choose a sixth-level strongman who was most likely to break through the wizarding civilization's blockade and escape to the alien star realm, Locke would definitely choose Zeratul.
Because even if the Styx Ancestor is passing by, there will always be blind spots in this vast battlefield of the Krupp Starfield that the Styx Ancestor cannot take care of. This is also Zeratul's only chance.
But Zeratul did not escape alone. Looking at the group of protoss survivors hidden in the subspace by Zeratul, it was not difficult for Locke to guess what choice this sixth-level creature made.
Zeratul appeared in the light, and Locke's first impression was that of an old man with a dog around his waist.
It's strange, the other party turned out to be an old man.
In terms of age and lifespan, Zeratul, the most famous Dark Templar warrior in the Protoss civilization, is indeed on par with Douglas, May and others in the wizarding world in terms of age.
After living for so many years, even though Zeratul is a sixth-level creature and has reached the threshold of the sixth-level peak realm, he cannot resist the erosion of time and becomes an old man among the Protoss.
It's just that Zeratul's halo is too dazzling, and he has been hiding in the darkness all year round to protect the protoss civilization, so that most protoss and alien creatures ignore each other's age.
"You seem to be older and weaker than I remember. Let alone me, even if the sixth-level black knight Volta appears here, I'm afraid you are no match for him." Looking at the rickety waist in front of him, and Locke said slowly, a strong man from the Star Spirit Tribe wrapped in a special layer of black clothing.
Although Zeratul's body was stooped and his aura was extremely weak, the opponent's eyes were still bright.
"If it were a head-on confrontation, I would indeed be no match for that dragon knight. But if I hadn't exposed myself
In my position, I am 60% sure that I can defeat him, and 30% sure that I can kill him in exchange for my life. Zeratul said, looking at Locke.
By now, Zeratul knew that he and his people had no chance.
Let alone the current situation, even if Zeratul returns to his peak state at this time, he will not be able to defeat Locke.
Zeratul's answer made Locke nod with satisfaction. This is why Locke admired Zeratul so much. He did not boast.
If the dragon knight Volta appears here, without discovering that Zeratul is hiding in this meteorite belt, Volta will most likely be defeated, and it is even more likely that Zeratul will risk his life in exchange for it. Lose.
But there are not so many ifs in this world. The reason why Locke came to the γ555 area was because he was worried that this remaining sixth-level creature of the Protoss Tribe would cause further losses to the wizarding world army.
"I heard that you seriously injured the sixth-level magician Nigel in the previous battle, and also injured my woman Kerrigan." Locke said.
Faced with Locke's words, Zeratul did not make any reply.
Being able to seriously injure Nigel and the Queen of Blades Kerrigan in Ten Thousand Arms is a proof of Zeratul's strength.
Especially the latter, under the premise that Locke has left Kakarot, Fountain of Destruction and other level six creatures behind, Zeratul can still succeed. This ability is already extremely outstanding.
"I can give you a chance." Locke suddenly changed his words and said.
"If you are willing to sign a master-servant contract with me, I may consider giving you a chance to live." Locke looked into Zeratul's eyes and said.
Faced with Locke's sudden release of dominator-level pressure, Zeratul's figure became even more stooped.
But this time, Zeratul did not rush to answer, but asked after thinking for a long time, "Can Knight Rock leave a creature for my people?"
Zeratul's rhetorical question also conveyed a will.
That is, if Locke is willing to give the Protoss a nod, then Zeratul is willing to sign a contract with Locke, even the most stringent master-servant contract.
Unfortunately, Locke is not a person who is easily coerced.
It was Lockxi who was willing to spare Zeratul's life. He didn't let Zeratul make any conditions with him here.
Facing Zeratul's rhetorical question, Locke's expression gradually became cold and emotionless.
The answer was "Wizard civilization will not allow traitors to exist."
Locke's meaning is also very obvious. He will only spare Zeratul's life. As for the surviving protoss, he must kill them all!
Locke's cold tone also officially marked the end of this conversation.
A jet-black energy blade emitting a dim cold light appeared on Zeratul's arm. Locke, who was extremely sensitive to energy aura, suddenly discovered that this extremely short and unattractive energy blade actually had the level of a low-level world-class secret treasure.
A battle was inevitable, and the fierce flames of destruction suddenly ignited in Locke's palm.
Although I regret the choice Zeratul made, the will and dignity of wizard civilization cannot be violated.
The moment Zeratul's body turned into an afterimage and he took action
In the meantime, Locke also moved.
He does not use the power of space as frequently as Zeratul, but purely uses speed to suppress Zeratul's shots.
This is a battle destined to be quiet, and Zeratul's strength is not worthy of Locke's full attack.
Locke, who didn't even activate the Destroyer transformation, had a pair of blood-cold eyes that revealed that he would give Zeratul a decent death.
...
When the battle fluctuations in this meteorite belt were sensed and an army was sent, the battle between Locke and Zeratul was over.
Zeratul, who existed like a myth among the Protoss clan, tried his best to stab Locke's breastplate with his shadow dagger.
He didn't even use the twelfth-grade Black Lotus of Destruction. Only the partial bone armor of his body was able to firmly block Zeratul's final blow.
When Zeratul's corpse was burned to ashes by Locke's flames of destruction, Locke pulled out the dark black energy dagger stuck in his breastplate.
This is a world-class secret treasure of good quality. It can tear apart space easily and seems to have some room for growth.
After casually throwing the dagger to his second daughter Lisa, Locke ordered the incoming Zerg army led by him, "Destroy all the protoss survivors hiding in that subspace!"
The gluttonous feast of killing and death continues to be staged near this meteorite belt. The extremely vicious Zerg army is looking for any living creature that can fill their bellies.
