Ch. 1891..1900
The Return of God of War Chapter 1891
The fate of Levi rested in the hands of Robed Slayer. As long as the former was willing to admit defeat, he would stop and spare him from dying.
“Kill him! Kill him!” all ten thousand people present at the venue yelled rancorously.
Their faces were brimming with joy at the fact that the righteous camp was winning.
The Fiends, on the other hand, were completely defeated.
Seeing that Levi stayed silent, Robed Slayer slowly lifted his fist into the air.
In his eyes, as well as everyone else’s, he had already given the former a chance.
The Cardinal Hall had no intention to force Levi to divulge Cyrus’ secret either since they knew he was on the brink of death.
They were relieved knowing that he would be killed since keeping him alive was equivalent to cultivating a threat.
“I can’t go on anymore! I don’t want to see Master Garrison die this way!” Sword Fiend could no longer contain his anxiousness and wanted to save Levi.
“Me too! I don’t wish to see Master Garrison die! I’ll feel aggrieved if he dies this way!”
“Exactly! This isn’t a fair game to begin with! Master Garrison might be more formidable than Robed Slayer if not for his injuries!”
Both Blood Fiend and Venom Fiend spoke their minds.
“No! I believed Master Garrison will never want us to interfere. If he has to die in this battle, he’ll want to die fair and square! What’s most important is we have a clear conscience regardless of what Robed Slayer does!” Shadow Fiend put forth his explanation to stop the others from doing anything silly.
“What a joke! We’ve always been called the evil, and Master Garrison a big demon. Yet, we’re the ones doing it fair now?” Sword Fiend sighed helplessly.
He knew they would be able to bring Levi out of this venue with them if they joined forces for an attack now.
Yet, they could not do that.
Even if Levi were to die in the battle, they could only watch that happen.
Because they respected the rules of the battle—to never interfere in it.
Sadly, as much as they had to refrain from doing that, they knew very well that there was a shockingly high number of people in the crowd who were all eagerly waiting for the death of Levi.
They would even pile in to kill Levi if Robed Slayer did not.
And those were the actions of people who claimed they were self-righteous.
“What? Levi is dying?” Looking at Zoey, Wynona was aghast after receiving the news.
Even such a powerful person is getting defeated? Is Robed Slayer really that formidable?
“Levi? What’s wrong with him?”
It seemed like Zoey had heard what she just mentioned.
At once, the gentle-looking Zoey turned grim, emanating a sense of deadly intent.
“Where’s Levi? Take me there now!”
Her eyes reddened, looking like a demon reborn from hell.
“All right, I’ll take you there.”
Being worried about Levi’s safety, Wynona decided her only option was to bring Zoey to see him.
As for what would happen when they met, she did not want to think about it.
All she hoped for now was for Levi to stay alive.
At the battlefield, shouts for Levi to die thundered through the air.
They were all looking forward to watching him walking toward the end of his life because that was possibly the most delightful thing to them.
Though Robed Slayer had his fist held high in the air for a long time, he could not bear to bring it toward Levi.
Killing a formidable warrior like him was a significant loss to Erudia!
Even though he is Fiery Demon’s heir, there’s still a chance if he decides to turn over a new leaf!
“Huh?”
The next second, Robed Slayer was astounded.
He could not believe his eyes, that Levi was struggling to get up again.
He was milking his last ounce of energy to get up on his feet.
The Seven Fiends were all on the verge of bursting into tears.
“Seems like Master Garrison wants to hold his head up high even if he dies!” Sword Fiend’s voice was shivering.
No one other than him is qualified to be our boss!
Levi smirked. “Come on! Continue!”
Robed Slayer sighed. “You’ll be a great hero had you not deviate from the righteous path. What a pity!”
This time, he was bent on killing Levi. He would never be softhearted again.
“Now’s only the beginning!”
Levi lifted the corners of his lips into a mysterious smile.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1892
Thud!
Robed Slayer’s heart sank upon seeing Levi’s state.
A bad premonition suddenly welled up in his heart.
Everyone else was equally stunned at Levi’s appearance.
Levi seemed to be radiating a bizarre glow.
Everyone was baffled, and they could not explain what they were feeling at that moment.
And just like what Levi said, things were just getting started.
“Die!”
Robed Slayer cast aside his muddled thoughts and threw a forceful punch.
It was a punch that was even more ruthless than the blows before.
This single, earth-shattering punch was as though a superweapon had fired.
A huge energy whirlpool appeared in the air and formed a mushroom-shaped cloud.
If the previous punches were supersonic punches, then this punch was a triple sonic punch.
Levi had not been able to stop the previous punch, so without a doubt, this punch would blast him into smithereens.
All the bones in his body would be crushed to pieces.
Evidently, this triple sonic punch would be much too powerful for him.
Swoosh…
With a single punch, screams and whines filled the air.
It was earth-shaking and outrageously terrifying.
The Seven Fiends closed their eyes because they could not bear to see Levi’s downfall.
They wanted to remember him at his best.
Robed Slayer was confident that Levi would die in his hands with this punch.
Everything would come to an end.
Presumably stupefied, Levi stood motionless in his spot.
It was as though he was waiting for death to befall him.
Yet, to everybody’s surprise, Levi threw out a punch.
Although Levi threw his punch after Robed Slayer’s, the former’s punch landed on target first.
It was unexpected for Levi to even possibly throw out a punch after being dealt with a triple sonic punch.
His punch was definitely much faster than the triple sonic punch.
Boom!
With that forceful punch, Levi and Robed Slayer’s fists collided.
Crack!
All of a sudden, the ground cracked, and the earth shattered.
Bang!
No one had expected such an outcome.
With a single blow by Levi, Robed Slayer was defeated as he flung across the air and spat out blood.
He lay crumpled on the ground, and his eyes were filled with fear and shock. “Triple sonic punch? How is that possible?”
A commotion immediately broke out amongst the crowd.
Everyone was utterly flabbergasted!
Levi’s punch had actually sent Robed Slayer flying.
Is this real?
Could this be a dream?
Pfft!
The spies hiding in the crowd were on the verge of spewing blood.
Bruce and the Raysonia’s chieftains, who were watching, choked on their drinks.
How could Levi explode with such power when he almost died just now?
Everyone was stunned for half a minute.
The Seven Fiends sensed that something was off, and they were completely shell-shocked when they opened their eyes.
What’s going on?
How can this be?
And by the looks of it, Levi seemed to be in a ball of fire.
It was definitely not terminal lucidity, neither did it seem like he used extreme methods to increase his powers.
The Seven Fiends were pleasantly surprised.
Upon seeing this, a particular group of people in the crowd smiled in satisfaction. It was as though they were very pleased with Levi.
“No way! It’s impossible!”
“How could this be happening? I don’t believe it!”
Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene before them.
As for Robed Slayer’s apprentices, they were terrified when they saw that Robed Slayer was wounded.
They couldn’t believe that something like that was happening.
“That can’t be! He was near death!”
“He must have gotten help from the demons, and that’s why his power has increased.”
The crowd presumed that it was with the help of the demons.
Robed Slayer stood up slowly and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth as he looked at Levi.
This piqued his interest.
This won’t be a boring battle after all.
Levi has shown his due strength.
“That’s good. I’m starting to take this seriously.”
Levi said with a smile, “As I said before, this is just the beginning.”
The Return of God of War Chapter 1893
“This will definitely be Levi’s last fight, sir. You have to be careful.”
“That’s right. He won’t last long. You have to win, sir!”
Almost everyone thought that Levi would put up a fight till his last breath. They believed that he was going to fight Robed Slayer to his death.
They also believed that his powerful stance was all an act.
He was actually at the brink of death…
Yet, Robed Slayer was exhilarated.
With a roar, Robed Slayer let out a wave of energy.
One wave after another.
It was more terrifying than the punches he threw earlier.
At the explosion of the energy, the air grew thick and hot. It was as though a thunderstorm was about to happen.
A scorching heat permeated through the air.
The crowd was shocked to witness this energy outburst from Robed Slayer.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of loud bangs from the energy outburst seemed to be ripping apart the fabric of time and dimension itself.
But instead of dodging the attack, Levi faced the attack head-on.
Bam!
Levi threw a punch that was a hundred times more powerful than the energy wave.
“Crush!”
Wave after wave of the energy kept coming forth, but Levi deflected it with punch after punch.
Every counter-attack caused a deafening boom in the sky.
The thunderous booms that could be heard from the start of the battle were as though a thunderstorm was spawning in the sky.
Thunder roared in an angry sky.
Those who lived around the area, who didn’t know what was happening, began to cower in fear.
The energy wave from Robed Slayer was so powerful.
But Levi’s power was even stronger.
He destroyed everything with just a couple of punches.
Soon, Levi smashed all the energy waves in the sky, then he rushed up to Robed Slayer and blasted out a triple sonic punch.
Bang!
The earth shook and trembled.
This punch was even more terrifying than the punch from Robed Slayer.
“Celestial Shield!”
Robed Slayer let out a roar.
A stream of energy shot out around them and formed an invisible energy wall.
This wall was possibly more indestructible than the alloy steel walls.
It appeared that none of the modern weapons could penetrate the wall.
Boom!
Levi pounded fiercely at the invisible wall with his fist.
Boom!
The earth shook, and the tremor could be felt on the battlefield.
It was simply too terrifying.
Crack… crack… crack…
Although the invisible wall shook violently under attack, it managed to deflect Levi’s punch.
Blood trickled at the corner of Robed Slayer’s mouth; despite that, he was grinning ecstatically.
In his entire life, he had never encountered a powerful opponent such as Levi.
“You think you can break Celestial Shield? Dream on!”
Robed Slayer gave a sinister smile.
The energy wave from him caused the wind around him to bellow like a wild beast.
It was actually substantializing.
Just like a flame…
His energy had reached such a superior stage.
It has substantialized!
This was the Robed Slayer.
The man who dominated an entire era.
The energy wall in front of Robed Slayer turned into a fiery red wall that resembled the color of flame.
It was ten times the intensity than before.
Crush!
Levi planted one foot on the ground and raised the other foot for a kick.
The kick was a powerful one, and it was terrifying to watch.
Crash!
The kick split the energy wall apart.
Bang!
Robed Slayer was flung some distance away from the impact.
Incredulity was apparent in his eyes.
Am I being defeated again?
“Sir!”
“Robed Slayer!”
Upon seeing this, everyone gasped and shouted in horror.
“Come on. Give me your best shot.”
When the dust and smoke cleared, Robed Slayer stood up and continued to fight Levi.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
From then on out, Robed Slayer used every combination of punches and fighting tricks he had known.
But he was sent flying again and again.
He was no match against Levi.
Boom!
Bang!
Time and time again, he was sent flying across the air.
Robed Slayer struggled to get to his feet before he shouted with eyes full of rage, “Sword!”
He was going to use the Divine Sword.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1894
Robed Slayer had said that without the Divine Sword, he only had a fifty-percent chance of winning.
As the battle unfolded, he realized that it was true—there was an equal chance of him winning or losing!
At that moment, he was about to lose.
Hence, there was no choice but to use the Divine Sword.
However, after unleashing the Divine Sword, Robed Slayer’s chance of victory was a hundred percent.
In other words, he would win no matter what!
“Catch the sword, Master!”
A student hurled the Divine Sword into the air, which Robed Slayer caught swiftly.
The tens of thousands of people in the crowd focused intently on the Divine Sword.
Looks of envy crossed the faces of the powerful fighters amongst them.
There were countless people overseas who yearned to get their hands on this sword.
Now, they had finally seen it in real life!
Before the Seven Fiends could cheer for Levi, their expressions changed drastically.
After all, with the Divine Sword, Robed Slayer’s power would increase significantly.
Cyrus had mentioned the sword before. Even someone like him would fear a fighter who wielded this weapon.
It was thus evident how powerful the Divine Sword was.
Most importantly, Robed Slayer was actually capable of unsheathing the sword!
Even if others had it, they might not be able to use it at all.
However, he could.
“Levi, you’re the most powerful opponent I’ve encountered. You’re the only one who has forced me to use the Divine Sword!”
Whoosh!
The sharp sound of the Divine Sword being unsheathed rang across the warzone.
The bright light reflected against the blade of the sword, dazzling the crowd and forcing them to squint their eyes.
At the same time, a murderous intent immediately filled the place.
Feeling a chill run down their spine, everyone shuddered uncontrollably.
This was how terrifying the Divine Sword was!
According to legends, the Divine Sword had been forged from the iron meteorite and immersed in fresh blood. This was why the sword exuded such a hostile murderous intent.
At the moment the Divine Sword was created, it had been struck by lightning, enshrouding the blade with bolts of electricity. Only then, the final step was completed.
To unsheathe the Divine Sword, one must endure not only its overwhelming murderous intent but also the power of the lightning embedded within it!
This was the reason why not everyone could use the Divine Sword.
In that case, Robed Slayer was the chosen one!
He raised the Divine Sword high up into the air and exclaimed, “Today, I’ll kill the first big demon using the Divine Sword!”
Now that Robed Slayer was wielding the Divine Sword, it was as if he was a different person.
His power surged rapidly as if he was a killing machine, unparalleled by any other gods.
“Die!”
When Robed Slayer struck with the Divine Sword, even the sky changed its color.
That singular attack was packed with the sword’s overwhelming murderous intent, the power from the lightning, and Robed Slayer’s battle skills.
It was so powerful that nothing could ever defeat it.
In fact, it was like the strike could split a mountain in half!
With bolts of lightning encircling the blade, it was so sharp that it could almost slice through the air itself.
Boom! Boom!
The loud roar of thunder echoed across the sky, as if it was acting in perfect unison with the Divine Sword.
As expected, the Divine Sword was so powerful that it could even change the sky according to its will.
Crack!
The ground in front of Levi split into two as the force of the strike traveled toward him rapidly.
Boom!
Levi threw a forceful punch, deflecting the impact.
However, he was forced to stagger backward before he could regain his footing.
Only then did everyone realize how terrifying the Divine Sword was—it was so powerful that it could force Levi to retreat!
“Die!”
“Die!”
As Robed Slayer had the upper hand, he took advantage of the Divine Sword’s strength and unleashed a barrage of attacks on Levi.
Although Levi was not injured and could deflect the impacts of the blows, he kept retreating backward.
It looked like he would falter sooner or later.
After all, the Divine Sword was horrifyingly powerful.
His most foundational technique, which was known to the others as Cyrus’ technique, could not block the advances of the Divine Sword anymore.
The situation was greatly in Robed Slayer’s favor.
He was so engrossed in the battle that he left absolutely no openings for Levi.
The Forbidden Technique!
In the nick of time, Levi suddenly remembered the Forbidden Technique.
I can use the Forbidden Technique to fight the Divine Sword!
The Return of God of War Chapter 1895
I can’t!
Master has warned me against using the Forbidden Technique, especially now that the entire world’s attention is focused on me.
If I use the Forbidden Technique, something bad might happen. The consequences would be much dire then.
I might create more trouble and affect Master.
This is different from being imprisoned in The Cardinal Hall! After all, no one there knew about it.
Perhaps, The Cardinal Hall still can’t figure out how the Dragon Chain has been unlocked.
Although I could use the Forbidden Technique in that situation, I cannot use it now!
“Hahaha!”
At that moment, Levi suddenly burst out laughing, startling everyone.
Even Robed Slayer was taken aback.
What’s wrong with Levi? He’s on the brink of death, but why does he still laugh? Is he crazy? Or has he lost his mind out of fear?
The reason why Levi suddenly laughed was very simple—he suddenly remembered his master.
If everyone thought that he was the Fiery Demon’s heir, it meant that his master was Cyrus.
However, he always believed that it was not true.
This time, he was certain that Cyrus was definitely not his master.
The reason was straightforward—Cyrus’ technique was merely one of the many techniques his master possessed.
That old man was definitely much more powerful than Cyrus.
In fact, he might be leagues above Cyrus.
The Forbidden Technique could not even compare to his master’s actual powers.
Furthermore, his master knew more than one Forbidden Technique—there were multiple others that he had mastered.
The reason why he knew Cyrus’ technique was probably just a coincidence.
Hence, Levi was sure that his master was definitely not Cyrus.
Furthermore, his master taught him this technique with an incomplete scroll, not the entire one.
As such, Levi was sure that they were two different people.
Hence, he burst out laughing.
Cyrus, who are you to become my master? You’ll never be worthy enough!
Meanwhile, someone in the crowd was staring at Levi intently.
“He’s a powerful one! If he survives, we can let him join us.”
The person was extremely satisfied with Levi’s performance.
“Okay. Do we need to intervene?” asked another person.
“There’s no need for that. If he dies, it proves that he’s incapable!” replied the first person coldly.
Meanwhile, everyone in the crowd was shocked by Levi’s weird reaction.
What is he planning to do?
“Is he mocking Master?”
“Master, don’t give him any openings!”
The Robed Slayer’s students started yelling out loud.
Although Robed Slayer was wielding the Divine Sword, Levi still remained undefeated.
Feeling humiliated, he was determined to end the battle as quickly as possible and kill Levi within a single move.
“The Robed Attack!”
Robed Slayer unleashed his most powerful attack.
It was his trump card that had always secured his ultimate victory.
Once he unleashed that attack, no one could defeat him. Even the earth would quake in terror when faced with it.
The impact caused by the sword could be felt from miles away, destroying everything in its path.
It was as if the sword could even split the sky in half!
Thunder rumbled in the distance while everyone cowered in fear.
Robed Attack was powerful enough to make Robed Slayer unparalleled for an entire generation.
This strike was significantly faster and stronger than the previous one.
All of Robed Slayer’s strength and the Divine Sword’s power had been unleashed to their fullest limits.
With one strike, he aimed to kill Levi.
Everyone spectating the crowd has already retreated from the scene.
However, the impact of the attack was so strong that they were thrust a few hundred meters back as if an invisible hand was pushing them away.
The most critical moment had arrived.
Am I really not going to use the Forbidden Technique? If I don’t, I’ll die!
“I see that Master is hesitating! He probably has a way to deflect that attack. Why is he hesitating?”
“He should just use his trump card! If he doesn’t, he’ll die!” exclaimed the Sword Fiend when he noticed Levi’s hesitation.
The Seven Fiends were so worried that they started sweating profusely.
The critical moment deciding the outcome of the battle is here! Why is he hesitating? Use the trump card now! If Levi doesn’t use the Forbidden Technique, he won’t be able to deflect this strike!
The Return of God of War Chapter 1896
What should he do? Is he just waiting for his death?
Crack! Crack!
At that moment, Levi’s bones started to crack loudly as his bones and veins started to undergo some changes.
Energy surged through his body, while steam rose from his head. His face was so red that it was as if he was burning.
A look of unbearable agony crossed his face.
It was like every inch of his muscle, every bone and every vein was exploding and reconstructing themselves…
He was in maximum pain!
What is he doing? T-This…
Everyone was stunned.
“Is he using the Reversal Technique?”
Someone noticed something abnormal.
“Is he crazy? The Reversal Technique is really risky! If something unexpected happens, he would explode and die!”
“This man is definitely crazy!”
Everyone exclaimed in shock.
As they had speculated, Levi was actually using the Reversal Technique.
The thought had been circling in his mind for a long time.
When he was in jail for the second time, the old man taught him this foundational technique. It allowed him to train the fastest after reconstructing his martial vein.
Levi had to admit that the old man was so knowledgeable that he could easily come up with a solution regardless of the situation.
One of those solutions, which he had so easily thought of, was the exact technique that made Cryus famous!
However, Levi always thought that the technique was incomplete—it was limited and tough to upgrade.
As his earlier opponents were quite weak, the technique’s flaws could not be exposed.
Now that he was confronted with a truly powerful opponent, its flaws emerged.
Hence, Levi had been thinking about how to perfect the technique or upgrade it.
Since a long time ago, he already had the desire to try out the Reversal Technique.
Merging it with the Reversero technique, he believed that he would reach a breakthrough.
However, the price he had to pay was significant and success could not be guaranteed so quickly.
As a result, Levi had been starting his plan since last night.
He had deliberately let himself get hurt.
It was part of Levi’s plan to give Robed Slayer the upper hand in the battle!
He could only use the Reversal Technique if he was critically injured.
After much research, he had discovered that being critically injured was the best condition to unleash the Reversal Technique.
At that moment, his martial vein and bones would be teetering on the brink of destruction.
Then, he would unleash the Reversal Technique!
Boom!
A dangerous aura exploded from his body.
His face twisted with menace while his eyes became completely bloodshot.
It was as if a dragon who had been asleep for thousands of years had suddenly awoken!
Limitless strength surged through his body, exuding an aura so powerful that extended for miles.
It was as if an eclipse had occurred in the sky…
Boom!
When Robed Slayer’s most powerful attack approached Levi, he actually used his bare hands to grab the sword.
The sword exuded a terrifying aura. Bristling with bolts of electricity, its blade was so sharp that it threatened to slash everything in its path into shreds.
Meanwhile, the aura of the sword was so powerful that it could almost melt Levi’s hands off.
However, it was as if his hands were made of the strongest metal in the world—they could never be destructed. Instead, with fearsome strength, he grabbed the Divine Sword tightly.
Through the corner of his eyes, Robed Slayer could see Levi’s ferocious expression.
At that moment, he actually felt a sudden pang of fear.
A strange feeling of terror seized him.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The ground beneath their feet crumbled, sending them sinking into it.
A terrifying power spread across the venue.
“Oh my God! He actually blocked the sword! Is he even human?”
“What is Levi doing? Why do I feel that he’s become stronger?”
“How powerful can he be? This is simply impossible!”
When everyone saw Levi deflect that strike, they felt like they had gone mad.
In front of the screen, Bruce and the chieftains of Raysonia were all dumbstruck.
They stared in disbelief as the scene unfolded in front of their eyes.
“Don’t worry! Levi’s already at the end of his wits. Even if he can deflect this strike, can he endure the next one?” scoffed Delano disdainfully.
However, what happened next made him gape in shock.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1897
The moment Delano spoke, a loud crack rang across the entire venue.
Everyone was stunned, while Delano’s expression froze on his expression.
The cracking sound had come from the Divine Sword!
When Levi was grabbing the sword, strength surged through his arms and he broke it into half forcefully.
It was as if the cracking sound had come right from the depths of hell, shocking everyone.
Crack!
When the Divine Sword cracked, blood splattered out of Robed Slayer’s mouth. He flew backward rapidly like a kite with a torn string.
After collapsing on the ground, he vomited mouthfuls of blood. However, he did not feel any pain—he was still immersed in shock.
The Divine Sword cracked? How can a sword that has been created with those materials be broken?
How terrifyingly strong is he? Is he a demon?
I’ve lost! I’ve actually lost so badly!
Gazing at the broken Divine Sword in his hands, he felt like crying.
Meanwhile, everyone else was stunned.
They stood there motionlessly with a frozen expression, looking like statues.
They were dumbstruck by this unimaginable situation.
The Divine Sword, which had always been undefeatable, was actually shattered by brute force.
This is horrifying!
Robed Slayer’s students collapsed to the floor as if the sky had just fallen. They trembled so much that they could not utter a single word.
Meanwhile, Bruce and the Raysonia’s forces were still paralyzed to the spot.
They were so shocked that their minds went blank.
That scene was too surprising for them.
The audience watching the battle in the Cardinal Hall was also silent.
They had always been troubled by the question of how the Dragon Chain got broken.
Now, they had gotten their answer.
If he could destroy the Divine Sword, he could destroy the Dragon Chain!
This man is unbelievably strong!
No way! T-This…”
No one could accept this fact.
Robed Slayer was about to win, but the outcome was vastly different.
Only a few people smiled.
“Not bad! Since he survived, we can invite him to join us,” said someone with a smile.
“Understood!”
Somewhere else, a person commented with a chuckle, “This is interesting!”
He was indeed the Southern Emperor, ranked first in the Gem List.
“W-We won?”
The Seven Fiends shed tears of joy.
We’ve made the right decision by following Master! He’s the Fiery Demon’s heir! He can definitely give rise to an era where the fiends finally dominate!
Clang!
Levi tossed the broken half of the sword onto the ground, jolting everyone back to their senses.
“Do you want to continue?” he asked as he stared at Robed Slayer.
Robed Slayer struggled to get up but discovered that he had no more strength in him.
It was pointless for him to continue, for he had already unleashed his most powerful attack.
Still, the Divine Sword had been broken.
There was no way he could fight Levi anymore.
What should I do?
“I’ve… I’ve lost!”
With much difficulty, Robed Slayer admitted to his defeat.
“We’ve won! All hail the master!” yelled the Seven Fiends.
Meanwhile, deathly silence reigned in the massive crowd.
Amongst them, Bruce and the Raysonia’s forces were the most speechless.
They had planned so long and sacrificed so much for this moment, yet Levi ended up winning.
How did we even think that we can kill Levi? He’s completely fine now; in fact, he seems much stronger than before.
When they thought of how much effort they had put into this, their hearts ached.
Despite the price they had paid for this, Levi was still unaffected.
He was simply too terrifying.
“I’ll keep my promise. If you want to kill or maim me, do what you want! The Cardinal Hall will not put you in a tight spot anymore,” said Robed Slayer.
He was prepared to die.
After all, the Fiery Demon’s heir would never let him live.
To his surprise, Levi chuckled. “You’re a top fighter in Erudia’s martial arts world. Why should I kill you?”
“Huh?”
Robed Slayer was stunned.
Is Levi not going to kill me?
“I…”
Levi was about to explain when something suddenly changed.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1898
“Pfft!”
All of a sudden, Robed Slayer’s mouth frothed and he started convulsing. He collapsed onto the ground and rolled around in utter agony.
More terrifyingly, streaks of blood appeared on his body, as if it was about to be torn into pieces.
Levi was stunned by what he saw.
What’s going on?
Although it was true that he injured Robed Slayer, most of his strength had been channeled to destroy the Divine Sword.
Hence, Robed Slayer was only mildly injured.
Why did he end up like this?
“Could it be…”
Levi’s expression changed drastically as a thought surfaced in his mind.
Poison! Robed Slayer has been poisoned! There’s poison on the sword.
He immediately discovered the reason.
Just when he was about to announce it, someone responded first.
“Master’s been poisoned!”
“Levi poisoned Master! Burn in hell, Levi!” yelled Robed Slayer’s students.
“Levi’s so despicable! How can he use such an underhanded method like poisoning?”
“Although you’ve won, it’s not a glorious victory, Levi.”
“No, Levi has actually lost. He only won through such extreme methods!”
“I knew that the Divine Sword can never be broken. Levi must have resorted to some dirty tricks!”
Before Levi could say anything, the judgment against him was sealed—he was the one who poisoned Robed Slayer!
Everyone accused him of doing that.
Hearing the indignant exclamations from the crowd, Delano smirked gloatingly.
He was the one who administered the poison!
The Raysonia’s forces had given him a mission to poison Robed Slayer.
When Robed Slayer unsheathed the Divine Sword yesterday, Delano had asked to admire it.
It was then that he poisoned the sword.
The poison was untraceable, so no one could sense it.
Upon contact with the poison, the effects would not show immediately.
Instead, the poison would only be activated after one exerts force.
The more powerful one was, the more lethal the poison would be.
Hence, when Robed Slayer touched the Divine Sword, he was still completely fine.
Yet, he was now suffering from the effects of the poison.
As long as he did not exert any force, he would be fine.
For example, the student who had been holding the Divine Sword for Robed Slayer was unaffected.
As he did not exert any force, the lethal poison would not be activated.
Hence, he still looked normal.
The Seven Fiends stepped forward and protested, “That’s impossible! Master is so powerful that he won’t have to resort to poison! Someone must have poisoned Robed Slayer beforehand.”
As expected, what they were worried about had come true.
Their expectation was right—the other forces had a backup plan.
Delano quickly rebuked, “Poisoned him beforehand? How ridiculous! He is so powerful that no one can possibly manage to poison him.”
The Sword Fiend scoffed coldly, “Someone must have done something to the sword. I’m sure that the sword has been poisoned!”
“Yeah! Someone must have done something to the sword beforehand!” agreed the others.
“That’s impossible. Only Master and Hudson had touched the sword, and Hudson has been guarding it all along. He is Master’s best apprentice, so he will never poison Master! Furthermore, if someone has poisoned the sword, why is Hudson still fine and why is only Master poisoned? Levi must be the culprit who poisoned him!” asserted Delano firmly.
By leveraging how the poison would only be activated after exerting one’s force, Delano constructed such a strong argument that everyone was silent.
Even the Seven Fiends did not know how to rebuke him.
Earlier, Robed Slayer was completely fine.
However, after battling with Levi, he got poisoned.
This meant that Levi was the one who poisoned him.
“From what I know, Venom Fiend from the Seven Fiends is a master in poison. He must have provided a poison so lethal to poison Master!”
Delano continued throwing out more evidence.
“Yeah! Although the average poison can’t harm Robed Slayer, Venom Fiend’s poison can!”
The Return of God of War Chapter 1899
Everyone hurled accusations at Levi.
All evidence was there and everyone witnessed this incident.
There was no way Levi could defend himself!
“Pfft! Pfft!”
Meanwhile, the poison acting on Robed Slayer became more severe.
More streaks of blood appeared on his body and his flesh was starting to split apart.
If this continued, he would definitely die!
Only then did Bruce and the others realize what was going on.
According to their original plan, Robed Slayer was supposed to kill Levi first before being poisoned. Even if he did not die, he would be crippled.
Their plan was to eliminate these two powerful figures.
Since it was now an irreversible fact that Levi could not be killed, all they could do was to minimize their losses and poison Robed Slayer.
Delano smiled.
Don’t blame me, Master. Actually, I’m from Raysonia, not Erudia. All of you should just go to hell!
He smirked inwardly.
It seemed like Robed Slayer’s death was a certainty now.
Levi quickly used acupuncture to contain Robed Slayer’s poison.
“See, it’s Levi! He can control the poison!” someone yelled upon seeing how the poison’s effects were lessening.
“How can you rebuke this now? Levi can control the poison! If he didn’t poison Robed Slayer, who did?”
The crowd immediately demanded.
“What the heck?”
Levi was stunned.
I’m saving Robed Slayer, but why is everyone accusing me of poisoning him? I’m just being framed at this point.
Levi sneered, “If I can break this sword, how can he ever be my opponent? There’s no reason for me to poison him.”
“Huh?”
Everyone was stunned when faced with Levi’s question.
Yeah! Levi is obviously stronger than Robed Slayer. Why would he have to resort to poison? Isn’t that a pointless gesture?
“Well…”
Even Delano could not find a way to rebuke.
“It must be you! Evil people like you are the most unpredictable. It’s normal for you to use poison!”
“Furthermore, you were on the brink of death earlier. Why did your power suddenly increase? You must have used some dark and evil technique!”
As the crowd could not find any other way to rebuke Levi, they forcefully insisted that he was the person who poisoned Robed Slayer.
Even though he was being wrongfully accused, Levi smiled indifferently. “Whatever. I don’t care!”
Levi did not bother to explain, nor did he want to do so.
It was not the first time that he had been framed for a crime he did not commit.
Even if they believed in his innocence this time, such incidents would still happen over and over again in the future.
“Save him now! Otherwise, he’ll really die.”
Levi glanced at Robed Slayer before leaving.
The Robed Slayer’s students rushed over, while Levi sauntered away.
The crowd stared at him with fear and trepidation.
If the Fiery Demon’s heir is already so powerful, who can ever defeat him?
Even The Cardinal Hall had run out of solutions.
They were helpless to do anything.
“How despicable! It’ll be even harder to kill him the next time!”
Bruce and the Raysonia’s chieftains slammed the table angrily.
They sacrificed so much for this plan, yet Levi used this opportunity to achieve a breakthrough.
Everyone was so mad that they almost spat blood out.
“Now that Robed Slayer has lost, I’m afraid that the situation has changed. This is a strong blow to Erudia’s martial arts world. Many talented fighters have been stripped of their strength, while the Fiery Demon’s heir has become so powerful. Things are going to get tougher now!”
Everyone started lamenting, thinking that doomsday had arrived.
Earlier, Levi still had to hide from the righteous warriors who tried to eliminate him.
Now, he could walk everywhere he wanted openly.
No one could do anything to him.
“Is there anyone who can defeat Levi? Just anyone?”
“Yeah! Where’s the person who injured Levi previously?”
In the next second, a furious voice sounded.
“Die, Levi!”
The Return of God of War Chapter 1900
Everyone was taken aback by this angry voice.
Whoosh!
A figure that was as fast as lightning charged toward Levi.
The person was none other than Zoey!
When she saw Levi, she immediately went berserk and aimed a fatal blow at him.
After merging with Jared’s consciousness, she was now engulfed with hatred.
That was why she had such an agitated reaction.
Wynona had brought Zoey there. Upon seeing that Levi was fine, she had just heaved a sigh of relief when Zoey suddenly charged out.
It was too late for her to do anything!
Boom!
Levi deflected Zoey’s punch quickly, causing a deafening boom to echo across the venue.
The impact was no less than his earlier battle with Robed Slayer.
When everyone saw this scene, they became excited.
Is there another strong fighter who can oppose Levi? That’s great! Erudia still has hope!
“It’s her? Levi’s wife, Zoey? How can it be her?”
Everyone was shocked when they recognized Zoey.
Why are Zoey and Levi enemies? Why does she want to kill Levi? This doesn’t seem staged. It looks like her hatred for him is genuine! It’s like she wished for nothing more than to tear Levi apart.
Everyone could sense Zoey’s fury.
Now that she had become Levi’s enemy, they were extremely curious.
Only Bruce burst out laughing after witnessing this. “That’s great! Even the heavens are on my side. The person who can actually kill Levi has arrived!”
Earlier, he was still thinking about how he could make them both meet.
Now, he did not even need to plan it.
Since the entire world now knew about Levi’s relationship with Zoey, the major forces in the world would adjust their plans according to this new information.
Levi was dumbfounded when he saw Zoey.
She’s even more troublesome to deal with than Robed Slayer!
Without regard for anything else, Zoey unleashed all her most lethal attacks.
However, as Zoey’s techniques and skills were quite limited, the attacks were only based on brute strength.
Her blows rained down on Levi one after another, the destructive power of her attacks terrifyingly strong.
Fuelled by hatred, Zoey was now extremely powerful. Although she could harm Levi previously, Levi had now evolved.
Without using the Forbidden Technique, he could still fight Zoey.
Furthermore, she did not possess his advanced techniques and combat skills.
As the battle ensued, Levi was still on par with Zoey.
Unable to land a critical blow on Levi, Zoey’s fury increased.
As she became angrier, her combat skills increased rapidly too.
The situation was now completely different.
Not only that, but the people whom Bruce had planted in the crowd also started cheering, “Levi’s your enemy! Kill him! Kill him!”
“He is a big demon! You must eliminate him for the greater good!”
“We all depend on you! Kill him…”
Initially, only some people were yelling.
However, the entire crowd started cheering in unison.
Their voices merged into a cacophonous roar, traveling into Zoey’s ears and provoking her even further.
As her fury increased, her combat skills became even more formidable. More terrifyingly, her aura spread across the entire venue, as if she was Grim Reaper…
“Hahaha! Looks like the provocation works! Everyone, keep doing it!” urged Bruce with a laugh.
Even Levi was shocked by Zoey’s transformation.
She was more terrifying than Robed Slayer, even when he was wielding the Divine Sword.
What actually happened that turned her into this? Perhaps, only Master can explain that…
For now, the only solution is to continue fighting!
“S-She is even stronger than Robed Slayer! Looks like Levi has met his match!”
“This is a life-or-death battle. How interesting! I bet Levi didn’t expect this to happen to him!”
“I want to see if he can ever kill his wife. Hahaha…”
