The Return of God of War Chapter 1431
The Return of God of War Chapter 1432
On the battlefield, Levi was unstoppable. Regardless of how many times they beat him to the ground, he would stand up and continue with his fight.
His body seemed to have no limits, and no one could stop him.
However, there were simply too many men in his way, so no matter how hard he fought, he could not make it past them fast enough. He knew he was running out of time.
“Crush!”
Suddenly, Levi let out a loud roar, and a tremendous wave of energy radiated from his body.
That was the Supreme Burst, one of the most powerful strikes ever.
Boom!
Boom!
Like a tsunami, the killing force radiated out and knocked over every single person that was in its path.
“Arghhh!”
“Arghhh!”
Horrific screams echoed through the mountain instantaneously, and scores of men flew off, leaving a clear path for Levi to proceed.
Ppfftt!
Executing the Supreme Burst had drained much of the remaining energy from Levi, and he threw up blood again.
However, one could see the determination in his eyes, and after casually wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he pressed on.
He executed the Supreme Burst a few times, knocking off more men, as he made his way toward the peak.
Everyone was stunned by Levi’s display of skill and power. No one expected he had more to give, especially after his earlier impressive battles.
However, executing the Supreme Burst took a toll on him. He was coughing and spitting out blood with each cough.
He had executed the strike a few times, and he was clearly weaker after every execution.
That had to be his limit!
Looking at the thinly scattered crowd, Levi smiled. He knew he was close to victory. The peak was just steps away, within his reach soon.
“Crush!”
Mustering the last of his energy, Levi executed the Supreme Burst consecutively three times, and when he was done, there was not a single man left standing in his path.
That was madness beyond anyone’s imagination.
One man had defeated millions of fighters and created a miracle.
No one had achieved that before, and everyone was sure no one could replicate that in the future.
However, Levi paid a high price for that success, as he collapsed to the ground, motionless.
He had totally drained himself fighting the many rounds of savage battles and executing the Supreme Burst forty-eight times.
If not for the surreal willpower he had, he would have collapsed much earlier.
Prince William and Kuro Dragon were hopping mad. They had mobilized hundreds of Ultimate class, thousands of God class warriors, and millions of men to stop one man, and they were close to losing it.
The only consolation they had was that finally, Levi was also defeated.
Levi tried his best to get back on his feet. His numerous attempts ended in him stumbling back onto the ground. At that moment, he was not able to stand up anymore.
The peak of Mount Drago is just steps away! Is he really just going to give this up?
“Come on, Crown King! Fight on!”
“Victory is within reach! Please hang on!”
“You made it all the way, you can’t fall now!”
The Erudians felt immense pain for him, and they shouted encouragement at him, urging him on.
Then they saw him move.
He had decided not to attempt to stand up anymore.
Instead, he raised the Erudian banner and started crawling toward the peak.
As he dragged his body along, he left a bloodied red trail where he passed.
His feeble body was stubbornly holding on to the honor of Erudia.
Even if he had to crawl, he would erect the Erudian banner at the highest peak. That was befitting of his Crown King title.
There was not a single dry eye in Erudia. Everyone was holding their breath, watching him inch his way toward victory.
“How touching! Unfortunately for him, I have a surprise for him!” Prince William beamed.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1433
As Prince William spoke, a group of Zarain fighters appeared.
They were wearing custom-made amour made with the latest technology. These were impenetrable amours who could transform a commoner into an indestructible fighting machine, and Levi was in no condition to destroy these armors.
Although there were rumors that Zarain had brought along their elite troop, no one had seen them in action.
That was because Prince William wanted to keep his own men safe; thus he kept them out of the earlier battles. They were kept as his last trump card.
He had reached the desperate stage where he needed to mobilize them.
The Zarain troop had heavy-duty weapons in their hands, and they were all directed at Levi.
This unexpected twist of events took everyone by surprise. No one could have guessed Levi defeated millions, only to be beaten by a few men.
“Oh no! He is doomed!”
“Prince William is such a scheming man. What a shameless a**hole!”
The Erudians were devastated.
The Zarain troop closed in on Levi, mocking him, “How do you feel about this? In the end, you still perish in our hands. Ain’t you disappointed?”
“Unscrupulous! Shameless!” Levi glared.
If he were to die in their hands, Zarain would take all credit and boast they eliminated the Crown King. Levi knew how the Zarains worked, and they would not have the grace to honor those who sacrificed their lives to path their way to victory.
“So? The fact remains you are going to die in our hands! So goodbye!”
Boom, boom, boom…
The Zarain troop trained their weapon at Levi and started firing away.
Swish!
The next moment, Levi was seen sliding across the path, avoiding their attack.
Bang!
He tripped and took a man down using the momentum of his glide.
Bang!
He smashed his helmet to pieces with one strike.
Levi was fighting again, renewing the Erudians’ hope!
Meanwhile, Prince William and his entourage watched in disbelief, eyes widened.
How could he still fight?
What they did not know was that Levi was milking the last ounce of his energy to put up a desperate fight.
And what a desperate fight that was; he fought as if he had nothing to lose, all caution flung to the winds.
Despite the fact that he could not stand and was confined to the ground, he did all he could and brought down one man after another.
His body was peppered with bullet wounds, but like a cornered beast, he fought tooth and nail. All he knew was he had a mission to accomplish, and only death could stop him from it.
The final battle lasted for half an hour.
Plonk!
Finally, the last of the Zarain troop fell to the ground.
Levi was on the ground throughout the battle, and after the vigorous fight, all that could be seen was his limp body.
The massive rounds of firing left the area shrouded in thick smoke.
Levi had collapsed in the piles of dead bodies, motionless and covered in blood.
Even the Erudian banner could not be seen fluttering in the winds anymore.
So this is the end?
Prince William and his sidekicks grinned widely when they realized Levi was down and unable to move at all.
After mobilizing that many resources, they finally succeeded in killing him!
“Phew! Finally!” Kuro Dragon let out a relieved laugh.
“Well, time is almost up! One last minute!”
As the camera panned across the battlefield, the sight that greeted the Erudians made them lose all hope.
Levi’s body was limp, and the Erudian banner was no longer flying high.
They were so close to victory, but it was not meant to be.
The defeat was a devastating blow to Erudia.
“Fifty!”
“Forty-nine!”
The ashen-faced Erudians watched as the countdown began, waiting with a heavy heart for the final announcement of defeat.
“Ten!”
“Nine!”
“Eight!”
…
“Zero!”
The Return of God of War Chapter 1434
The stipulated six hours had gone by!
Levi did not reach his destination, and the Erudian Banner was not erected at the highest point of Mount Drago.
Alas, Levi had not risen, and Erudia had lost!
It was a sorrowful day for Erudia; she had little hope of recovering from this devastating blow.
The whole of Erudia was eerily silent, and colors had been drained from their world.
“I hereby announce that Erudia had failed to accomplish her mission within the stipulated time, as such…”
Just then, the announcement was interrupted by a chorus of noisy chatter.
“Look!”
All eyes were fixed on the screen.
Just before the countdown reached zero, a red dot rose at the peak of Mount Drago.
A close-up revealed it to be the Erudian banner!
The playback showed a frail Levi dragging his feeble body along, struggling to stand up. The man slowly raised the bloodied banner and erected it at the peak!
The Erudian banner was flying high!
And Erudia had actually emerged victorious!
“We won!”
“Erudia won!”
“I’m so proud to be a Erudian!”
Instantly, Erudia erupted into a noisy celebration!
It was a historic day they would be proud of in years to come!
Despite the fact that they contributed nothing to the win, the Erudians were elated! Winning this battle meant Erudia was elevated to the status of a superpower, and no one in Bayview could dispute that.
Back in North Hampton, the Lopez family was in a joyous mood!
Other than their affiliation to Erudia, they were celebrating the achievement of the Crown King, whom they saw as their backer. The bigger his achievements, the brighter their prospects for the future.
Prince William and Kuro Dragon were crestfallen. They thought they had it all covered, yet they failed.
“This…”
“I cannot accept this!”
“We invested so much into this, yet we failed, and he won!” Kuro Dragon howled furiously.
Prince William’s ego was badly bruised too.
“No! I have never failed, let alone fail so miserably. I cannot accept this!” he roared.
“Useless! Trash! How could a million men not stop one man!”
A murderous look flashed across Kuro Dragon’s eyes, and he hollered, “I cannot swallow this insult! I will not let him live!”
“Me too!”
“I will accept that Erudia has won in name, won the respect of many, and positioned herself as a superpower, but I will not forgive Crown King! He shall not leave this place!”
Prince William threw all caution to the wind and ordered, “Convey my order. Bomb the place and raze Mount Drago to the ground! I do not want to see anything left alive on Mount Drago. Not a single life!”
His subordinate hesitated and meekly asked, “Prince, our men are still on Mount Drago. Should we order them to retreat first?’
“We don’t have time! Just bomb the place!” he barked.
Just as the Erudians were still harboring hopes that Levi could make a safe return to Erudia to join in their celebration, a shocking event happened.
Rumble, rumble, rumble…
Boom, boom, boom!
Mount Drago was carpet-bombed!
One round after another, the bombing went on relentlessly. It was obvious nothing could survive this incessant bombing.
Mount Drago was on fire and razed to the ground!
The fluttering Erudian banner was nowhere in sight, and even stones would have been pounded into tiny fragments, let alone fragile bodies of any humans or animals.
There was no chance Levi could have escaped from that darned fate, as they had heavily targeted the zone he was in.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1435
Mount Drago was razed to the ground, and the fire burnt furiously, blanketing the area with heavy smoke and ashes.
The news came back, confirming what most people already knew—all life was wiped out from Mount Drago.
They could not find any traces of bodies, as the bodies were bombed to pieces and burnt to ashes.
It was supposed to be a day of celebration for Erudia, but it turned out to be a day of mourning too. They mourned for the loss of a great Erudian.
If Levi was in his prime condition, the public would have harbored hope that he might have escaped. However, after the savage battles, he was feeble and could hardly stand up. No one doubted he had used his last bit of strength to erect the banner on the peak. Given that condition, how could he have escaped from the relentless bombing?
The fact, though difficult to accept, was that Crown King had perished on Mount Drago.
Prince William sent out a troop to search the vicinity multiple times, seeking the assurance that Crown King had been eliminated.
There was no sign of Crown King’s body. They found only a fragment of the Dragon Mask and part of the broken Dragon Sword, and they did not manage to retrieve the Dragon Ring. It was a small item, so it was likely pounded into unrecognizable fragments during the bombing.
However, by finding the remains of his mask and sword, they could safely conclude he had been blown up as well.
“He is dead! Crown King is dead!”
The world was in an uproar when they heard Prince William announce that the man who had displayed god-like prowess had succumbed.
The mood in Erudia was especially solemn. It was a major blow to the Erudians.
The Dragonites were in despair, as they knew this was not one of the play-act Levi had conspired with them to put up. What happened at Mount Drago was totally beyond their control, so they could only watch helplessly as the events unfold.
“I regret allowing him to go there!”
“Let’s accept the reality!”
“He was the one and only. Erudia was blessed to have him!”
Over at the Lopez family, the mood was depressing, as it was a double whammy for them. Not only had Erudia lost an outstanding member, but they had also lost a powerful backer.
For reasons unknown to her, Zoey felt exceptionally heavy-hearted, as if there was a huge burden on her chest.
When she heard the news about Crown King, she immediately thought of Levi. The two had left the country at the same time, and she felt there were many suspicious similarities between the two men.
Out of the blue, Forlevia started wailing and screamed, “Daddy is dead! Daddy is dead… But Daddy, you promised me you would come back, and bring me and Mommy home!”
The Lopezes heart sank as they watched Forlevia cry. She had always insisted her daddy was the Crown King, so when Crown King died, to her, that meant her daddy had died too.
To the adults, that was a preposterous association. After all, how could a traitor like Levi be compared to the heroic Crown King?
However, they did not have the heart to shatter the innocent dream of a child. Thus, they consoled her, “Don’t worry, Evie. Your daddy is well and alive, and he will be back soon!”
“That’s right! Your daddy will be back.”
Their efforts were not in vain, as she stopped crying. Then, with wide-eyed innocence, she asked, “Are you sure? Daddy is really alive?”
“Of course! Your daddy is alive and will be back soon.” Zoey held Forlevia in her arms and gently assured her, wiping the tears from her face.
From the far end of the room, Thierry and Judy had to bite their lips to hold back their tears. They wanted to reveal the truth, that Crown King was Levi. They wanted to shout out to the family that Forlevia’s daddy was Erudia’s greatest hero, but he could never come back again.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1436
“In the future, I will do my utmost to protect Sire’s family. I will make sure they live a happy and carefree life, keeping them safe from harm. And I will carry out his instructions to my best abilities. Thierry secretly made up his mind, determination written all over his face.
He might have been wary of Levi, or in awe of him in the past, but now, he had only respect for the great hero.
Meanwhile, those in The Calamity and people like George had also decided they would seek revenge for Levi.
The Great Family of Westford wanted to build a huge monument for Crown King in North Hampton.
“This is so unfair! Why did a hero like Crown King have to perish and suffer such a tragic death? Shouldn’t it be traitors like Levi who deserve death more?”
“Definitely! If it was possible, we would gladly exchange Levi’s life for that of the Crown King!”
The Lopez and Black families were grousing at what they deemed as being an unfair world. They sincerely wished Levi was the one dead.
Zoey, while grieving the passing of Crown King, was also worried for Levi.
Where are you now? How are you? You are fine, right? Please come back soon… Evie and I are waiting for you…
Erudia sent men out to search for Levi, but despite the multiple attempts, they failed to find him, confirming their biggest fear. He had no chance of surviving.
Internationally, at the Eighteen-Nation Alliance, they ruled that the Crown King of Erudia had chosen to embark on a killing spree over a small dispute. As such, to protect the innocent lives, they had no choice but to kill him off.
The international condemnation of Erudia and Crown King came fast and furious. Erudia was accused of being unreasonable, and Crown King was portrayed as an arrogant man who wanted to dominate Bayview.
Not only did Crown King sacrifice his life, he unjustly got a bad name and all the blame as well
What a shameless Prince William!
And what an audacious Zarain!
The Erudians were fuming at the name smear campaign, as Crown King had defended their honor and pride!
The international fallout was a costly blow to Erudia. Prince William’s plan succeeded, and he was elated.
Satisfied with The Avengers, he gifted them a colony.
The Avengers already had thirteen islands and a huge piece of land. As soon as they successfully execute their plans, they would be in a position to pull off the big political sell-out.
“Now that Crown King had perished, no one can stop us anymore!” Kuro Dragon gloated as he shared the good news with The Avengers.
Unknown to The Avengers, they were being spied on and targeted.
Meanwhile, members of The Calamity were anxious and aggrieved. However, without the order of their Master, they could only continue to keep a watch on The Avengers. They kept a glimmer of hope that someday, they would get the order from the Master that they were still waiting for.
It had been three days since the battle at Mount Drago. The fire had died down, and the smoke cleared. What was left was a devastated Mount Drago, with the razed and burnt ground, looking every inch what hell would be like.
Erudia was still praying for a miracle.
“If miracle had a color, it would be red!”
A burnt flag pole was found in the ruins, and as expected, the Erudian Banner was nowhere to be found.
There was no chance Levi had survived, and Erudia’s hope for a miracle was dashed. Levi was human after all, not immortal. Bullets alone could kill him, let alone that carpet-bombing. No matter how strong he was, they did not believe he could have survived.
As such, Erudia announced that Crown King was dead, and he would be posthumously proclaimed a Martyr.
Somewhere on a deserted shore in Keerea, a little girl was picking crabs. Suddenly, she cried out, “Mommy, look! There is a man in the sea!”
The Return of God of War Chapter 1437
“Huh?”
The little girl’s mom went over and a shocking sight greeted her.
A man was slowly standing up from the sea, and he was covered in blood.
The mom quickly grabbed her daughter and ran away as fast as she could.
The man got onto the shore and flung himself onto the beach, enjoying the warm sun. He laughingly jested, “Looks like God had refused to take me in again!”
That man was none other than Levi!
Yes, he was alive!
This miracle was all thanks to an ancient skill called “Reversero,” which he found in a book back in prison.
This ancient skill was inspired by the rising of the phoenix. A phoenix could only obtain a new life by rising from the ashes. Similarly, “Reversero” taught one how to gain strength from destruction—the greater the damage, the greater the gain.
That skill was just what Levi needed in those savage battles of Mount Drago. Under the extreme conditions, he managed to perfect the skills, and his prowess was greatly enhanced as a result of the brutal sufferings he went through.
The carpeted-bombing was the ultimate test of his mastery, and he passed with flying colors, saving his own life.
Of course, even with mastery of that ancient skill, there was a limit to how much damage a human body could take. If the body was blasted into tiny fragments, the ancient skill would be of no use.
As such, Levi had to thank Jonah for the armor he gifted him.
It was that armor that protected his body from major damage during the battles. Although it could not keep him free from injuries, it had managed to keep his body in one piece.
That gave Levi the chance to make use of the ancient skill to enhance his prowess. Without the armor, he would have perished. Unfortunately, the armor eventually disintegrated under the relentless bombing.
All that, together with Jonah’s armor, saved Levi’s life.
Although he managed to survive the catastrophic battles, his body was badly mutilated. There were multiple wounds on him that needed time to heal.
After a short rest, Levi hurriedly left the beach. He knew he would be in trouble if his foes tracked him down. He might have gained greater prowess, but with his physical injuries, he would not be able to make use of his newly-gained powers.
Levi chose to recuperate in Keerea as he knew the most dangerous place would be the safest too. His foes would have never imagined he was right under their nose.
As soon as he settled in a safe hiding place, Levi took out his Dragon Ring and carefully cleaned it. After that, he fished out the Erudia Banner and folded it neatly before putting it away.
No one knew how Crown King looked like, so Levi could safely recuperate in Keerea.
When he heard about the malicious slanders Prince William spread about him, he was furious.
On the other hand, by doing so, Prince William had also given Levi valid reasons to go after them in the future.
Levi laughed when he found out the whole world thought he had perished. It was a blessing in disguise, as he could then resume his identity as Levi.
“Now, Crown King is dead, but Levi is alive!”
“Sorry I have to make you wait a little longer, Evie and Zoey. I will come back to you once I recover!” he softly promised.
After cleaning up, Levi lay down to rest. Physically, he was very drained and weak—so weak that even a couple of God class warriors could subdue him. He might have gained great prowess, but before he regain his physical fitness, it was of no use as he could not execute that prowess. He had gone through that once and had no wish for history to repeat itself.
“Thank goodness no one would find out I am recuperating in Keerea, let alone find me in this busy capital Stellar City!” Just as he thought he had a foolproof arrangement, he heard a knock on his door.
Knock, knock, knock…
It was a loud and urgent knock.
“No…” A look of worry appeared briefly on Levi’s face.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1438
He quickly hid behind the door.
Alas, anything that can go wrong, will go wrong! Someone had tracked him down!
With the bad injuries he had, even if he managed to escape from the hiding place, he would not be able to get out of Keerea.
“Who is that?” Levi asked cautiously.
There was no answer, and the knocking had stopped as well.
“F*ck!” Intuitively, Levi sensed danger and moved away from the door.
Boom!
The next moment, he heard a loud explosive sound, and the door was destroyed.
Crack!
Crack!
At the same time, the windows were ripped from their hinges.
A few men in black rushed into the room and instantly surrounded Levi.
“Go to hell!” Levi roared. He was about to strike when one of the men spoke, “Please don’t worry, Crown King. We are from the Great Family of Eastford.”
“Huh? The Great Family of Eastford?” Levi was taken by surprise.
“Yes, we are. Although the Great Family of Eastford is from Erudia, our reach is wide, and we are active in the territorial seas of Raysonia and Keerea. We would have first-hand knowledge of the happenings in the territorial waters of these places.” The man, who seemed to be the leader of these men in black, explained.
Levi had heard much about the Four Great Families. The most influential family was the Great Family of Frostford, followed closely by the Great Family of Eastford.
The Great Family of Eastford specialized in marine affairs, and their men were based in secluded and little-known islands. Their activities and whereabouts were so highly secretive that they could even evade satellite tracking, making them very powerful and a force to reckon with.
Levi was not acquainted with the Great Family of Eastford and thus did not expect to meet members of this secretive family here in Keerea.
“What are you here for?” Levi asked.
“We are honoring a promise to an old friend, as such, we had been monitoring you since you arrived in Keerea. We followed you as you escaped from Mount Drago via the sea route. You were stronger than we had expected, and thus we had a hard time following your track.”
“A promise to an old friend?” Levi was puzzled, wondering who that old friend was. He was pretty sure that friend was not one of the Dragonites or an Erudian.
Keerea had placed the whole country under lockdown, so Erudia could not have sent anyone into Keerea. Unknown to Keerea, the Great Family of Eastford was active in the region, and familiar with the surroundings, so they could easily bypass the lockdown security.
“The order was for us to give you full support should you successfully escape from Mount Drago. You did not disappoint him, as you managed to get out alive! From this moment, your safety is our responsibility, so we shall escort you out of Keerea now. You are already being monitored, so you have to leave.” The man shared.
Levi was shocked.
Likely the mother of the little girl I met on the beach had reported me to the authorities… But who is the person who wanted to assist me?
Levi was puzzled, as he did not expect there would still be someone out there willing to help him. That person seemed to know him well, and he should be an influential person in order to be able to mobilize the Great Family of Eastford.
Levi trusted the men in black and left with them.
The Great Family of Eastford was a mysterious yet powerful family. It was highly likely they would have rare medicine and long-lost medical knowledge and skills, which would greatly help Levi in his recovery.
The men brought him to a secluded island east of Erudia and settled him there to recuperate.
Levi did not contact nor send out messages to anyone, as his hosts wanted to keep a low profile over this matter. As such, he decided to set aside all other matters and focus on getting well first.
“He could have survived! If only he took the medicine we gifted him, he would have survived!” The Dragonites were mourning his regretful decision.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1439
Erudia had a highly effective medication that could have saved Levi’s life when he was injured during the battles. It was a precious and rare medication that was rationed out judiciously. As such, even the Dragonites did not have much in hand. When they heard Levi had left his medication to his daughter, wife, and mother before he left for Mount Drago, they felt it was a regretful decision.
Not long after the battle at Mount Drago, Zoey and Emma each received a parcel. It was the precious medication that Levi left for them. This reaffirmed their belief that he was not a traitor.
“Please! You have to come back!” Zoey stared into the sky and prayed.
On the other hand, Emma was weeping sorrowfully. It pained her that her son had to endure so many sufferings since he was young.
However, if one were to ask Levi, he would insist he had no regrets and would willingly undertake the pain and sufferings for Erudia. He was born to be an Erudian warrior and proud to be one.
One day, at the Lopez residence, Shaun, together with a few others, went up to Zoey and shared a piece of shocking news with her.
“Let me tell you a secret, Zoey! There is news from Keerea that Levi was seen there, living in a luxurious mansion!” Shaun’s words gave Zoey the shudders.
“Haha, that confirms he is a traitor! He is enjoying a good life, after betraying us and escaping from Erudia!”
“Heard the mansion was worth billions, and he had hundreds of helpers!”
“This is not a rumor, Zoey. They had proof and eye-witnesses!”
“To think you are still waiting for him! He won’t be back! I even heard that his legs had recovered too!”
The few of them went on and on, piling criticism and insults on Levi. However, they were not the ones who came up with the story to smear his name.
As the man in black of the Great Family of Eastford had shared, the authorities in Keerea were indeed informed of Levi’s appearance. Unfortunately for them, Levi had been brought away before they could locate him.
Keerea had actually forgotten about Levi, but since the news of him appeared, they made use of that opportunity to smear his name by spreading rumors of him enjoying a good life while hiding in Keerea after betraying Erudia.
When the Dragonites and members of The Calamity heard the rumors, they were puzzled. Unlike most people, they knew Levi was the Crown King, so they firmly believed it was impossible that he could still be alive. They had searched and verified a couple of times after the bombing of Mount Drago, positive he had perished there. In the end, they concluded Keerea had spread the rumor to tarnish the reputation of Levi and Erudia. After all, Keerea, like Zarain, was scheming and fond of such underhanded tactics.
One party did not know Levi was Crown King; the other did not know Levi was really spotted in Keerea.
With the communication breakdown, they all missed the opportunity to realize Levi was indeed alive.
Thierry and those at Westford thought the same too.
They did not believe Levi was still alive and had brushed it off as a despicable act of Keerea, who was out to demoralize the Erudians.
However, Keerea did get the outcome they wanted. The sad incident of the demise of Crown King, followed by the maddening news of betrayal by their former God of War, was a double whammy to Erudia.
Prince William was pleased with the incident and awarded The Avengers five more islands.
Black Tiger, who had hatched and executed the plan, was given big rewards too.
Zoey wanted very much to explain to everyone that Levi was not a traitor. The fact that he had left her the precious medication was solid proof of his character.
However, she knew unscrupulous people would be eyeing that prized item, and news of her possession of that precious medication would bring danger to her and her family.
As such, she could only keep mum and pray for the safe return of Levi.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1440
Time flew by, and it had been two months since the battle at Mount Drago. Young shoots can be seen sprouting from the devastated grounds of Mount Drago, symbolizing renewal and a new lease of life.
Similarly, Levi had come back from the brink of death and was living a new life.
After a good rest on the secluded island of the Great Family of Eastford, he had fully recovered, and indeed, he could feel his prowess had improved by leaps and bounds.
One day, his hosts came to him and said, “You have fully recovered, and it should be fine for you to leave now, Crown King! Please promise not to reveal to the world about our existence.”
“Yes, you were by yourself and had not received any help from anyone!”
“And you do not have to feel indebted to us. We are only fulfilling a promise to someone. Leave now, and please pretend you have never met us!”
The Great Family of Eastford had always valued their privacy, and thus his hosts pleaded and reminded him multiple times to keep them out of the public’s eye.
At that, Levi could only smile at them resignedly. He was torn as that meant he had to lie to his close allies in Erudia as well. However, he was extremely grateful to his hosts and secretly pledged to himself that he would be there for them should they ever need his help in the future.
To date, Levi had not figured out who was the mysterious person who asked the Great Family of Eastford to help him. His hosts were unforthcoming, despite his several attempts to pry information from them.
A day later, Levi left for Erudia on a boat. When he reached the sea waters of Erudia, he was taken aback by the state of high security that greeted him. The border was guarded by many warriors, as if the country was on war alert.
Levi instantly understood they were defending against possible incursions. As the morale at Erudia was low due to Crown King’s demise and his rumored betrayal, it was highly possible enemies would take advantage of that and mount sneak invasions.
There were strict security checks at the borders, and Levi was not surprised when he saw Minka and Winsor at the checkpoint. At such crucial times, it was only right for the Asura and Enyo to be stationed there.
Soon, the two also caught sight of Levi, and they were startled.
“Levi? I can’t believe it really is you! How dare you still come back, you traitor!” Winsor stomped up to Levi and growled.
“What a shameless traitor! I could kill you!”
“Crown King gave his life for Erudia! What did you do?”
“Don’t you feel ashamed? If I were you, I would have drowned myself in the sea!”
The scolding and insults kept coming at Levi. Everyone was in a terrible mood, still mourning the demise of Crown King, thus, when they saw Levi the traitor, they vented on him.
“I am also very disappointed in you! Both of you went to Keerea, but the difference is Crown King went there as a hero, while you are a detestable traitor!” Minka chided, disappointment written all over her face.
However, she added, “But now that you are back, I am willing to give you a chance and listen to your explanation… Wait a minute! Something is not right! Oh gosh, you have recovered! You actually recovered!”
Minka finally realized Levi was no longer in a wheelchair and was mobile again.
“Recovered?” It took a while for that to sink in, and Winsor stared at Levi with mouth agape.
“That was my reason for going to Keerea! I went there to seek treatment, and now that I have recovered, I am back to serve the country!” Levi said, with a hearty laugh.
He was in a joyous mood, relieved he did not have to keep up the lies with regards to being in the wheelchair and being Crown King. He was finally free and able to do execute his plans.
“You have really recovered?” Winsor and Minka found it hard to believe, and they moved around to survey him thoroughly.
“Yes! Do you still believe I betrayed Erudia? How is it possible I, Levi Garrison, would do that?” he questioned them.
They shook their head. Although he was not as great as Crown King, he was a loyal subject and had done much for the country.
How could such a person betray the country?
It must be the evil plan of Keerea to demoralize Erudia!
Winsor was elated to see Levi had made a full recovery, as he could finally fulfill his wish to fight with Levi again.
