Chapter 244: Zeek Part 2

After being impressed and amazed by what he had seen from Zeek so far, Lex's clone saw him as the potential next leader of the islands.

All he needed to do was to see whether his character was a fit for a leader.

"We won't need all 8 of us to take down this beast. Although it is strong, big and can also somehow transform, it is so stupid. I will get money off that old lady in the meantime"

Hearing that, all the bandits facing Zeek began to laugh, while Zeek, who still had basic language skills and understood, was furious.

Switching back into the cheetah-like beast, Zeek dashed towards the door of the orphanage.

The bandits expected that it was about to rip apart the old lady and all the children within the orphanage since they couldn't tell that it was actually a person in the beast form, while Lex's clone was also unsure what exactly Zeek's intentions were.

Because of that, Lex's clone was ready to swoop in at any moment and ensure the safety of everyone that he could.

However, what happened next surprised them all.

As it reached the entrance to the orphanage, it turned around and faced off against all 8 of the bandits.

By doing so, it confined its movements and made its true aim and weakness clear to them.

It revealed that its intention was to protect the orphanage and those within it, however, that merely made the bandits laugh.

There didn't seem to be anything of much value within the orphanage and for a beast to be trying to protect humans, they couldn't help but be amused.

While at the same time, it also restricted the beast and gave them an advantage over it, so they had no reason to complain and could take it down much more easily if it was planning on protecting the orphanage at all costs.

By looking into someone's eyes, one can find a lifetime's worth of emotions, experiences, and thoughts.

Lex, observing the eyes of Zeek, could see pain and loneliness, but also care for the orphanage and hatred towards the bandits and the world.

It was a dangerous combination that could lead someone to lose all emotion and become evil. However, it could also allow one to become a capable individual that protected others.

If Zeek was overcome by the negativity he had felt and continued to feel, Lex would have no choice but to put down such a talent, but if he was able to hold on to the care he had for the orphanage, he could be the suitable successor that Lex was looking for.

Transforming in a giant elephant-like beast, Zeek was planning on using his body to block off the bandits from getting into the orphanage.

Since he didn't have any ranged attacks, Zeek was defenceless against all the attacks that were flung towards him by the bandits.

However, he didn't give up or allow the bandits to get past him, taking on all the attacks while trying his best to fight back.

He was overwhelmed by their numbers and ranged attacks, and although his defence and durability were very high, after so many attacks, he could feel his body beginning to collapse.

Zeek had been wounded to such an extent a few times before and each time that did occur, his transformation ability would begin to falter and he would no longer be able to maintain the beast forms.

He managed to hold out for 20 minutes, which was unbelievable considering that he had been attacked hundreds of times by the bandits in that time, before he stumbled onto the ground and reverted to his human form.

Seeing that he seemed to be a human, all the bandits and the old lady who was watching from within the orphanage were all shocked.

However, when he looked up at the bandits, he could barely be called human with his unusual appearance and facial features, along with all the scars around his body and long unkempt hair.

After years away from civilisation and living like a beast for years, that was to be expected from him, and despite not speaking to him, Lex was beginning to understand Zeek's past.

They were around the same age and he also seemed to have had a lot of painful experiences and had to fend for himself in the cruel world.

However, he still had a long way to go and a lot to learn.

His naivety and lack of understanding due to being away from humans for so long was a big weakness.

Compared to beasts, it could be said that humans were the crueller creature that would harm their own kind without benefitting from it in the slightest and could also be said to be the most vicious and scheming.

Those things were what made them strong and able to stand up to any other creature that could be said to be naturally stronger and more capable.

Since Zeek could be said to be both Man and Beast, if he was able to understand and acquire all the advantages that Man had over Beasts, then fuse them with the advantages that Beasts had over Man, he would become extremely powerful.

"That beast was a human, and he can transform. That is one powerful and dangerous ability, but luckily the user was stupid and weak"

The bandits all laughed as they kicked Zeek, who could barely move.

Zeek blurted out a curdle of blood and it made sense to the bandits why he the beast was defending the orphanage.

Even though Zeek had suffered utter defeat, he had still managed to deal them quite a few wounds and had also caused them to exhaust themselves quite a lot in order to take him down, so they wanted to get their revenge against him.

His bid to defend the orphanage also made them even more interested in the orphanage and seeing Zeek suffer before killing him was the cruel death that the bandits had prepared for him.
