Ch. 1981..1990
The Return of God of War Chapter 1981
The destruction of the Yamaguchi Corporation left The Dark Sun completely speechless, and the eradication of Shin was driving them insane.
How is this possible? As powerful as Robed Slayer is, there’s no way he can defeat those two powerhouses!
Regardless of what they wanted to believe, they had no choice but to accept the fact for what it was.
“As of now, Robed Slayer’s full strength remains unknown. In fact, we don’t even know if he has a trump card up his sleeve! Us remaining six forces must work together to prevent him from picking us off one by one! We can’t afford to lose this battle!”
“Yeah! We can lose our lives, but we cannot dishonor The Dark Sun and Raysonia!”
“We cannot let Levi barge into our country and do as he pleases like he did in Zarain!”
“From now on, we have to stop underestimating Robed Slayer! We have to do whatever it takes to kill him!”
The Dark Sun’s remaining forces banded together as per the Watanabe family’s suggestion, and the five Ancient Warrior Families were a terrifying force when united.
Word about Robed Slayer destroying four of Raysonia’s powerful organizations had spread like wildfire all over the world, and his popularity was slowly replacing that of Levi’s.
Meanwhile, The Manifest Court of The Cardinal Hall had updated the Gem List and moved Robed Slayer from the fifth to the second place, overtaking Southern Emperor and Zoey in one go.
What he did was simply too influential, and the people of Erudia found comfort in knowing that he could take Levi’s place as the pillar of support for the country.
Robed Slayer simply let out a wry chuckle when he heard the news.
“Man, who would’ve thought my greatest moment in life is all a fake?”
Levi smiled as well. “Greatest? You can’t call this the greatest! Not until we destroy The Dark Sun completely, at least!”
News about Robed Slayer continued to spread, and even Bruce began to notice and investigate him.
However, his investigations yielded nothing of significance.
“Continue to keep a close eye on him! I’m going to check on the results of the experiment!”
That day marked the start of the experiments for Jared’s restoration, and the first experiment had ended in success.
Although nine out of the ten participants had died from having their bodies explode, one of them survived.
Although the subject was a weak version of Jared’s body, it was still considered a successful experiment as the subject would still be very hard to kill.
Bruce and the scientists in the Lab of Gods cheered excitedly.
All they had to do was improve and continue the tests in order to perfectly recreate Jared’s experiment.
“By the way, have you guys found the people I asked for?” Bruce asked as he suddenly thought of something.
“Yes, Mr. Johnston! We’ve brought them all here!”
Bruce broke into a sinister grin and said, “Good. Continue to strengthen their bodies! I want them all to succeed in this experiment! I’m sure you know what you need to do, right?”
“Yes, Sir! We’ll get it done!”
Bruce couldn’t help but smile as he thought of his plans for the future.
“Oh, Levi… It’s too bad you weren’t able to witness Jared’s body of pure energy, nor the ones I’m about to recreate later on! How I wish you would come back from the dead and have a fight with these pure energy bodies! I want to see how long you’ll last against them!”
Levi was on the way to The Dark Sun’s headquarters with Robed Slayer when he sneezed all of a sudden.
“Is that you, Bruce? Don’t worry, it’ll be your turn soon!” he said with a smile.
The Dark Sun had focused all of its forces, and all the powerful warriors in Raysonia, including those on the Solar Rankings, were headed for Edojo.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1982
The Solar Rankings of Raysonia were similar to the Gem List of Erudia, albeit a little weaker.
Even so, it consisted of the strongest of samurais and priests, and they had all gathered together after being invited by The Dark Sun.
The Dark Sun’s own forces were pretty solid as well, with the Watanabe family, Taiin Shrine, Kitajima family, Hattori family, Nogawa family, and Kuno family in one place.
The Yagyuu family was not in participation, which was perfectly understandable as they were simply too powerful.
In fact, it wouldn’t even be an overstatement to call them the strongest in all of Raysonia.
The Yagyuu family was also called the Blademasters because of their extraordinary skill in swordsmanship.
Their ancestors were all remarkable swordsmen, and they had passed down their skills in swordsmanship to the latest Blademaster, Kenkage Yagyuu.
Despite only being in his thirties, Kenkage was so terrifyingly powerful that he made it to the top of the Solar Rankings and was dubbed the Sword Saint.
Most of the Raysonians often compared him with Levi and wondered who was the stronger one.
Even without Kenkage, the Yagyuu family was still insanely powerful and owned about half of the warriors on the Solar Rankings.
That was why nobody dared order the Yagyuu family to participate in the battle. The Watanabe family could only inform them of the situation and discuss their plans, but the Yagyuu family refused to take action.
They found working with so many forces to be a disgrace and insisted that they could handle Robed Slayer by themselves.
In fact, they were so confident that they believed Kenkage alone was more than enough for the task.
Kenkage had once arrogantly boasted that he could kill Levi all by himself, and the proud Yagyuu family didn’t send a single one of their men to help with the mission to kill Levi on Goldenport Island.
Almost all of the powerful warriors had gathered at The Dark Sun’s headquarters, providing them with the strength of the entire Raysonian martial arts world.
“We’ve just received confirmation that the Yagyuu family will not be joining us for this battle!”
“Yeah, we expected for that to happen!” the members of the Watanabe family said with a chuckle.
“By the way, Mr. Johnston sent us a message asking if we need his help. He also called himself our eternal ally.”
“Tell Mr. Johnston that we are thankful for his kind offer, but we can take care of this little problem by ourselves. We might as well die from dishonor if we can’t even handle something so trivial!”
“We will now wait for the arrival of Robed Slayer! I swear he won’t be walking out of here alive!”
The warriors present at the scene held their breaths in anticipation as they eagerly waited for their chance to fight Robed Slayer.
“According to the information provided by our spies, The Dark Sun’s remaining forces have all banded together and are waiting for us. However, the strongest one called the Yagyuu family has yet to make a move! Our sources say they disdain working together and intend to kill us themselves!” Robed Slayer said as the two of them arrived in Edojo.
“Which side is stronger, I wonder?” Levi asked while stroking his chin.
“As of now, the Yagyuu family is the stronger one! Not only do they have Kenkage on their side, but one of their ancestors is still alive. He’s known as the Raysonian Blademaster, and all of The Dark Sun’s forces combined are no match for those two!” Robed Slayer explained.
Levi gave it some thought and said, “All right, change of plans! We’re going to take out the strongest one first! Take us to the Yagyuu family!”
Robed Slayer was stunned.
Seriously? This guy makes all of this sound like a walk in the park!
The Return of God of War Chapter 1983
Oh, well… I guess it really is no challenge for someone as powerful as he is! Man, I sure envy Levi… I’ve got to get stronger so I can act all bada*s like him and be strong enough to back it up!
“You may not know this, Mr. Garrison, but Kenkage practices a different form of swordsmanship!” Robed Slayer said.
“Hmm?” Levi paused.
“Kenkage has always frequented nightclubs and is an infamous pervert. His form of swordsmanship is also based on decadence. Most people would go on a path of abstinence, but Kenkage is the exact opposite. He constantly indulges himself in booze and sex, but it doesn’t affect him in the slightest. In fact, it only makes him stronger!” Robed Slayer explained.
Levi nodded. “This guy is a different breed, I see!”
“My men have just confirmed that he’s in a nightclub right now! So, where shall we go?” Robed Slayer asked.
“To see Kenkage, of course!”
We’ll take out the strongest one first!
Dozens of young men were standing inside a VIP lounge of Edojo’s most luxurious nightclub.
They were all heirs to the wealthiest families in Raysonia, and yet, all were bowing respectfully with fear and respect on their faces.
On the sofa in front of them sat a man in his thirties with young women on both sides.
“What nonsense is this! Has Raysonia run out of pretty women or what?” he shouted angrily.
That man was the infamous Kenkage Yagyuu, hence the reason the others were all bowing down before him.
They were in charge of finding Kenkage all sorts of pretty women, but he was going through so many of them on a daily basis that they were literally running out of women.
None of them could comprehend how Kenkage’s decadent ways made him increasingly stronger.
Why does he keep getting stronger? This is so unfair! You could train hard for a hundred years, and this guy would still be a lot stronger than you simply by indulging in alcohol and sex for a month! As unfair as it is, we have no choice but to give him what he wants because he’s simply too powerful. Those who refused to have all been killed by him…
“I’ve sent more men to search in Erudia, Master! I’m sure we’ll find you some pretty ones soon!” said one of the young men.
The others chimed in as well, “Yeah! I hear Erudia has the prettiest woman in existence! Just give us two days, and we should be able to capture hundreds of them!”
“Yeah! We’ve also found out that Levi’s wife, Zoey is a real beauty! Oh, and that scientist Wynona too! And let’s not forget Levi’s sister, Mia…”
“Oh? I want all the women associated with Levi! Also, did you just mention a scientist? I’ve never tried that type before! Very well, then! I shall wait for you to bring them to me!”
Kenkage only calmed down after hearing that they were bringing him Erudian women.
However, he made sure to warn them all by saying, “If you don’t deliver them to me, I will have all of you killed!”
“Understood! We’ll make sure of it!”
The men nodded in fear before shooting the guy who mentioned Zoey a fierce glare.
Of all the Erudian women he could’ve mentioned, why Zoey? How the hell are we supposed to get her? This guy is practically dooming us all!
Realizing he had misspoke, the man quickly kept his mouth shut.
Suddenly, a loud commotion was heard outside the VIP lounge, and Levi entered the room while Robed Slayer stood by the door.
Everyone was dumbfounded and stared blankly at Levi in confusion, including Kenkage himself.
“Which one of you here is Kenkage?” Levi asked, stunning everyone around him even further.
“I am!”
Kenkage was curious as to what Levi wanted to do.
Levi slowly walked up to him and patted him on the cheek as he said, “I’m here to kill you. Got a problem with that?”
The Return of God of War Chapter 1984
As if his words weren’t shocking enough, him patting Kenkage on the cheek hit everyone like a ton of bricks.
Kenkage is the number one on the Solar Rankings and would kill anyone who rubs him the wrong way! He’s the freaking Sword Saint! He just takes any woman he likes anytime and anywhere! Even the big shots in Raysonia would avoid him whenever possible for fear of losing their life, and yet this ignorant punk has just boldly patted him on the cheeks? On top of that, he even said he’s here to kill Kenkage! Who the hell does he think he is? Does he have a death wish or something?
Being the strongest in existence, Kenkage had always done as he pleased.
As such, Levi’s actions left him speechless and frozen in shock and disbelief.
D-Did this guy just smack me in the face? I think I also heard him say he wants to kill me… Could I have misheard him or something?
“Hey, are you deaf? I asked you a f*cking question! Do you have a problem with me killing you?”
Seeing as Kenkage was still unresponsive, Levi slapped him a few times across the face.
Smack! Smack! Smack!
The slaps sounded especially loud in the silence of the VIP lounge, and everyone was on the brink of losing their minds from the madness before them.
This guy is crazy! I can’t believe he just taunted Kenkage repeatedly like that! He’s completely lost his mind!
Kenkage was not expecting Levi to slap him at all, and he was about to lash out at him when Levi cut him off with yet another slap.
Smack!
The tension in the VIP lounge was suffocating, and everyone was looking at Levi like he had just made the biggest mistake of his life.
“Die!” Kenkage roared at the top of his lungs as a tremendous surge of energy erupted from his body.
I’ll kill this motherf*cker! I’ll turn him into a f*cking bloody pulp!
Boom!
A terrifying burst of energy surged across the room, but it seemed to just dissipate upon coming into contact with Levi, much to Kenkage’s surprise.
So he’s no small fry, huh?
“Hmph! Try this, then!”
Fueled by rage, Kenkage’s energy was surging toward Levi like a tsunami.
Levi simply flashed him a smile in response. “Number one on the Solar Rankings, and this is all you’ve got? Heh, piece of trash!”
He then smacked at the energy wave with his right hand, causing it to disappear into thin air instantly.
The sight of that sent a shiver down everyone’s spines.
What the hell? This guy is scary!
“You’re dead meat!”
Kenkage was going mad with rage after having two of his attacks blocked so easily.
As Kenkage was about to charge at Levi, he felt like his upper body was weighed down by an invisible mountain, and he couldn’t even stand up.
“Arghhh!” Kenkage roared as he mustered every ounce of his strength to stand up.
Crack! Rip!
Everything inside the VIP lounge that wasn’t behind Levi began to crack and burst open, including the young men who turned into bloody mists instantly.
Kenkage was giving it everything he had into his effort to stand up so he could kill Levi.
“Aaaarghhhhh!”
His energy levels continued to rise as he pressed on.
“Hmph!” Levi snorted coldly before slapping him back down with so much force that it crushed Kenkage like ten mountains.
Coughing up a mouthful of blood, Kenkage glared at Levi in disbelief as he asked, “Just who on earth are you?”
“I’m Levi Garrison!” Levi replied with a smirk.
“What? You’re Levi Garrison?”
The Return of God of War Chapter 1985
What the f*ck?
Kenkage cursed in his head.
He and his men had recognized Robed Slayer when they came in through the door earlier, but he didn’t expect for his disciple to be Levi.
Isn’t he dead? Didn’t his corpse get dissolved? I’ve confirmed his death multiple times, so how is he still alive and well?
The young men in the room nearly fainted from the shock, but Kenkage was quick to regain his composure.
“If you’re still alive, then I’ll be the one to kill you!”
Kenkage had long since wanted to fight Levi, so being presented with the golden opportunity got him all excited.
“You’ll have to get up to do that!” Levi said with a sneer.
Those words angered Kenkage to no end as he had never been humiliated like that before.
I have to get up! I have to defeat Levi! I’ve never lost to anyone, and I can’t afford to lose now! I’ll die if I lose! I have to live on!
“Aaaaaahhhhhhh!”
Like a dragon that had been awoken from a hundred-year slumber, Kenkage’s energy levels skyrocketed and continued to rise as he desperately struggled to stand up.
The young men were all horrified by the sight before them as they had never seen this side of Kenkage before.
Holy sh*t! He looks like a monster of destruction that’s about to destroy the world!
Kenkage was both furious and excited at the same time as he hadn’t encountered a worthy opponent in ages.
Being unbeatable came with the price of being lonely, and he would feel empty inside whenever he wasn’t indulging in alcohol and sex.
He had always wanted to come across an opponent who could at least survive a hit or two from him, but never had any luck.
That was, until he finally met Levi that day.
Levi was so strong that Kenkage could go all out without worry, so he had always looked forward to battling him.
With his dream finally becoming a reality, it wasn’t hard to imagine why he would get so excited about it.
“I finally get a chance to fight you, Levi! It’s good to have a worthy opponent!” Kenkage shouted.
Levi snorted coldly in response. “Heh… You call yourself worthy of fighting me?”
He then delivered what seemed like an ordinary punch, but it made Kenkage’s face go pale the moment it hit him.
T-This…This is scary beyond words!
Kenkage thought to himself as he puked up a lot of blood. “Pffft!”
Not only was his attempt at getting up unsuccessful, but the sofa beneath him had been broken into pieces.
He then fell on his knees, shattering the floorboard beneath him.
Kenkage was completely dumbstruck at how weak he was against Levi’s attacks.
“Argh!”
He tried to get back on his feet once again, only to be knocked back down by another punch.
Boom!
Crack!
This time, the punch shattered the bones in his body and rendered him completely disabled.
Kenkage was smashed deep into the ground, and his head was the only part above the surface.
Whack!
Levi kicked him on the head before saying with a sneer, “Well? Come on, get up!”
“Aaaaaahhhhhh!”
All Kenkage could do was scream like a madman, but it did nothing to help him at all.
“Now, die!”
Even if Levi wasn’t already going to kill all members of The Dark Sun, he would still kill Kenkage for setting his sights on Zoey anyway.
He also killed all the other men in the room as they were the ones who brought up Zoey and were going to participate in capturing her.
Levi knew that because he had overheard everything they said clearly.
“Let’s go! We’re taking out the rest of the Yagyuu family members next!”
Levi then dragged Kenkage’s corpse behind him as he headed over to the Yagyuu family’s residence with Robed Slayer.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1986
The Yagyuu family home was located on the empty plains on the outskirts of Edojo.
Due to the family’s nasty reputation, the area around the house was completely uninhabited.
The Yagyuu family’s warriors were present in the main hall as a precaution due to Robed Slayer’s recent activities.
Although they had refused to team up with The Dark Sun’s forces, they still decided to gather their own people.
Tenfu Yagyuu was both Kenkage’s father and the patriarch of the Yagyuu family.
“Do you guys think Robed Slayer will come after us?” he asked as he sat down in front of his men.
Everyone around him burst into laughter upon hearing that.
“Heh, I bet he wouldn’t dare to even challenge us!”
“Unless he’s crazy or has a death wish, that is!”
“Everybody knows we’re much more powerful than all of The Dark Sun’s forces combined! It’s suicidal to mess with us!”
The Yagyuu family were insanely confident in their strength and believed they couldn’t possibly lose with their Raysonian Blademaster still around.
“By the way, has anyone seen Kenkage? I told him we’d be having a meeting. Where is he?” Tenfu asked.
Because Kenkage was strong and loved by the elders, he ended up becoming so spoilt and undisciplined that even Tenfu could only sigh helplessly whenever he misbehaved.
“Mr. Kenkage has yet to come home. I think he went to the nightclub again…” replied the butler.
“Damn it! We have a crisis, and he’s still out partying?” Tenfu shouted angrily.
Despite what he said, he was actually concerned about Kenkage’s safety.
Robed Slayer had struck fear into everyone’s hearts, after all.
“Don’t worry, Sir! I’m sure Mr. Kenkage will be fine!”
“If anything, it’s the ones who run into him that should be worried!”
“In fact, he would save us all the trouble of killing Robed Slayer if he went after Mr. Kenkage!”
Tenfu smiled and stroked his mustache upon hearing that. They’re right. The only people we should worry about are the ones who would be unlucky enough to run into Kenkage whenever he’s out there! Although I am dissatisfied with his attitude and behavior, I have no doubt when it comes to his strength! I mean, he is at the top of the Solar Rankings while I rank second! Who in their right mind would dare pick a fight with him? It’s not even an exaggeration to say he’s as powerful as the entire country! Any other member of The Dark Sun would’ve been a much better target than Kenkage!
Suddenly, a voice was heard coming from outside, “Drew Leeson from Erudia is here to pay the Yagyuu family a visit!”
The voice sounded as loud as thunder and echoed throughout every corner of the mansion.
“What? Drew Leeson? As in, Robed Slayer?”
“He actually came? My goodness, this guy sure is a bold one!”
“I can’t believe he chose us over The Dark Sun’s headquarters!”
Instead of getting agitated, the Yagyuu family members were laughing in amusement.
“Sir, shall I inform the other members of The Dark Sun that Robed Slayer is here?” one of the men asked.
Tenfu shook his head. “That won’t be necessary! We’ll can tell them that after we’ve killed Robed Slayer ourselves. That way, they’ll see just how powerful we are, and that we do not need to team up with them! Come on, let’s go check it out!”
He then led a huge group of warriors toward the front door.
“Guh!”
“Argh!”
The hundreds of security guards stationed at the door were sent flying all over the place, and the front door of the mansion had also been kicked open.
Robed Slayer was in front and slowly made his way toward the Yagyuu family’s warriors while Levi followed behind with Kenkage’s corpse in tow.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1987
“You’ve got some guts barging in here, Drew! Do you wish to die that badly?”
Tenfu rushed forward with hundreds of his warriors and quickly cut off their exits.
“You could kill everyone else in The Dark Sun for all I care, but you shouldn’t have messed with us!”
“Hahaha! I can’t believe you’d just deliver yourself to us on a silver platter!”
The men said while laughing at Robed Slayer in disdain. Moments later, they shifted their attention toward Levi who was standing behind him.
He seems to be dragging a body with him… Wait, why does that outfit look kind of familiar? Hold on, this is… Could this be…
A bad feeling spread through all of their hearts, and Tenfu had noticed it too.
Isn’t this guy one of ours? Well, I can’t say for sure from just the outfit alone. It’s probably someone Robed Slayer has killed just to provoke us!
“You guys have messed with the wrong people! We can take you two down without any help from The Dark Sun!”
“No, Mr. Kenkage alone is enough to kill you guys!”
The men began taunting them arrogantly.
Wham!
Levi kicked Kenkage’s body toward them and asked with a smug grin, “By Kenkage, you mean this guy?”
“That’s…”
Everyone froze when they got a clearer look at Kenkage’s body, and it struck them like a bolt from the blue, causing them to freak out on the spot.
“T-This is… Mr. Kenkage?” someone shrieked in fear.
A closer look confirmed that it was indeed the Kenkage that they all knew, except for the part that he had become a stiff and lifeless corpse.
“I can’t believe it…”
Everyone went wide-eyed in shock and disbelief, and some of them even fainted on the spot.
Thud!
“Mr. Kenkage!” the men began screaming his name at the top of their lungs.
“Son… My son!”
Unable to contain his emotions any longer, Tenfu held Kenkage’s corpse in his arms and burst out crying.
It was the first time the Yagyuu family had been dealt such a devastating blow.
They were able to maintain a dominant position in Raysonia because of Kenkage, and they were hoping to keep it that way for a few hundred more years.
I can’t believe Kenkage is dead! This is unacceptable! No, wait… How did he die? He’s the freaking Sword Saint and ranks first on the Solar Rankings! Who could possibly kill him? Is this actually happening?
Everyone was suspicious about what really happened, but it was impossible to not believe it with Kenkage’s corpse laid out before them like that.
All of them then shifted their gaze back toward Robed Slayer.
So, Robed Slayer was the one who killed Kenkage? Holy sh*t, he’s way scarier than we expected!
“Kill him! I want him dead at all costs!” Tenfu shouted at the top of his lungs.
“All right, it’s time to test your strength! I won’t help you out with this fight!” Levi said with a smile as he watched the Yagyuu family’s warriors charged at Robed Slayer.
He then sealed the mansion off from the outside world with a wall of wind, so no one else would know what was going on inside.
Levi had Robed Slayer face them alone so he could increase his strength, and the entire mansion soon descended into chaos. The men attacked Robed Slayer like a pack of rabid dogs, and he only grew increasingly aggressive as the fight went on.
Apart from Kenkage, he found everyone else from the Yagyuu family rather easy to defeat.
Suddenly, one of the warriors noticed Levi standing in a corner all by himself and shouted, “Kill him!”
The men then began charging toward Levi, and he let out a sigh as he muttered, “You guys are making a big mistake coming for me!”
The Return of God of War Chapter 1988
Boom!
Boom!
…
Several fighters rushed towards Levi before bursting into masses of blood from about fifteen feet away.
Yet another bunch of elites turned into a mist of blood in front of Levi.
And with that, everyone’s eyes were on Levi.
He’s not an ordinary man!
They were initially focused on Robed Slayer and paid no heed to Levi.
But now, he was the center of attention.
With that, no one would dare mess with Levi again.
They had a new objective. They wanted to get rid of Robed Slayer first before taking down Levi.
Hence, a fight between the fighters and Robed Slayer was inevitable.
Soon, even Yagyuu Tenfu, ranked number two on the Solar Rankings, joined in.
…
Meanwhile, tens of thousands of elite fighters gathered at The Dark Sun’s headquarters, with technological equipment installed all over.
There were even traps and ambushed set up all over the place.
The men from the Watanabe family were smirking in satisfaction after seeing how impenetrable the headquarter was.
The only thing left to do was wait for Robed Slayer to come and meet his demise.
“Right, any signs of Robed Slayer? Where are they now? They should be heading straight for us, right?” The Watanabe family was getting curious.
It never crossed their minds that Robed Slayer might have gone to the Yagyuu family instead.
After all, it was never a problem to begin with.
They knew that not even idiots would choose to go for the Yagyuu family, the most powerful family of them all.
Hence, the Watanebe family became the only choice.
“They were spotted around this area two hours ago, heading towards us!”
“But they disappeared! We don’t know where they are right now. We’ve searched everywhere but could not find any traces of them!”
…
“Huh? Really?”
The Watanabe family strategists immediately sat down and started a discussion.
Eventually, they came to a conclusion.
They concluded that Robed Slayer was wary of the alliance between the remnants of The Dark Sun, so he would not try to face them head-on.
Instead, he would try to blindside them.
“Let everyone know to stay alert and reinforce their defenses! Don’t let Robed Slayer catch us off guard!”
…
Everyone thought that Robed Slayer was going to sneak up on them.
No one knew that Robed Slayer was engaged in combat with the Yagyuu family at the moment.
That was out of their expectations, so they did no confirmation about it.
At the Yagyuu family, Robed Slayer already went on a rampage.
He was covered in blood, both the enemy’s and his own.
There were quite a few instances where it got dangerous, but Levi did not help him.
It was a test for Robed Slayer. So, no matter what happened, Levi was adamant about not helping him, even if Robed Slayer was on the verge of death.
If he survives this, he’ll achieve even greater heights than he is now.
Woosh!
Bang!
…
Amidst the battle, fighters from the Yagyuu family fell, one by one.
However, Robed Slayer was not unscathed.
That said, he got stronger.
Even though he suffered severe injuries all over his body, Robed Slayer’s battle prowess was getting better and better.
“Kill him!”
Tenfu was mad with vengeance for his son as the fight continued.
…
As time passed, the number of fallen men from the Yagyuu family was piling up, and they were losing hope.
He’s too good!
He’s getting stronger as the fight progresses! How’s that possible?
Every time it seemed like Robed Slayer was about to fall, he would always push through and plant his foot firmly on the ground, sending despair into the eyes of the Yagyuu family.
It was only then that they realized how wrong they were about Robed Slayer’s power level assessment.
They slowly realized why Kenkage died.
Nevertheless, what they did not know, was that Levi was actually the stronger one and that he was the one that killed Kenkage Yagyuu.
Everyone there would go crazy if they found out that the fight was just a lesson Levi prepared for Robed Slayer.
Boom!
Tenfu was sent flying across the air.
He felt hopeless.
“Send for the elder’s assistance! The Yagyuu family’s in peril!”
The Return of God of War Chapter 1989
“Elder! We need you!”
“Elder! We need you!”
…
The remaining members of the Yagyuu family all called out.
The family was on its last leg at that point.
If the elder did not come out, it would be all over for the Yagyuu family.
Suddenly, there was a sharp ringing sound.
Hearing that made that the whole Yagyuu family ecstatic.
The elder is coming!
At the same time, a volcano erupted not far from where they were.
The thick smog covered the sky as molten hot lava came gushing out.
Even though it was a small one, the eruption could still strike fear into people’s hearts.
That said, from afar, it looked magnificent.
“The elder’s coming!”
“It was rumored that the elder was suppressing the volcano all on his own. It’s actually real!”
“I wonder how strong is the elder.”
“He’s definitely stronger than Robed Slayer! If Levi was here, maybe they would stand a chance. But without him, no one can stop the elder!”
…
No one would believe something like a man capable of suppressing a live volcano as it was very much an outrageous statement.
No matter how small the volcano was, it should have been impossible.
On top of that, from what the Yagyuu family members said, the elder had been doing it for decades.
Even thinking about it would send chills down people’s spines.
Nevertheless, Levi knew that the elder of the Yagyuu family was using the volcano to train himself in order to surpass his limits.
Soon enough, a silhouette appeared on the battlefield.
The old man actually looked younger than Tenfu. The impression he gave off at the moment seemed to be that of an average Joe. There was not even a sense of intimidation from him.
Nonetheless, Ikken Yagyuu was merely restraining himself.
And that was the most terrifying about him.
He had a sword that was covered in volcanic ash and magma residue.
The men there instantly understood that it was a sword that Ikken forged within the magma.
Boom!
The sword shook all of a sudden, and the ashes on it dispersed, revealing a majestic blade.
The sword was shimmering like fire, and it seemed to have a killing intent of its own.
A sword that could shake the very foundations of the earth had appeared.
“Elder Ikken, Kenkage is dead. Please lend the family a hand and avenge him for us!”
“Please take charge for us, Sir!”
…
Everyone in the Yagyuu family went on their knees and roared in agony.
“What? He’s dead?”
Ikken’s expression changed drastically.
Kenkage was his favorite as well as the family’s future.
Ikken taught him everything he knew and had high expectations for Kenkage to surpass him one day.
Never could he expect Kenkage to die while he was training in seclusion.
Seeing Kenkage’s body, Ikken was immediately infuriated.
“Who was it?” Ikken roared.
“It’s him! Robed Slayer from Erudia, Drew Leeson!”
…
Everyone turned their heads towards Drew.
“Robed Slayer from Erudia? I understand! Now, I shall use your blood to feed my blade!”
He swept his hand over the sword, immediately giving it an edge.
“This is a sword now edged! And its name shall be Godslayer! You’ll have the privilege of being its first prey, Robed Slayer!”
Boom!
Robed Slayer was starting to tremble before the enormous pressure Ikken was exuding.
He knew he was no match for Ikken just from his presence alone.
Robed Slayer did not expect to see such an ancient person on Raysonia.
He should be around the same level as Southern Emperor, the number one on the Gem List. Stronger, even. He thought.
Robed Slayer figured he would not even stand a chance against Ikken even if he was not injured at the moment.
“Kill him!”
…
Everyone in the family shouted.
Kenkage’s death dealt quite a blow to the family, so everyone wanted Robed Slayer dead.
“Come at me! Let me see what you got!”
Even though Robed Slayer was injured, he did not want to lose to them in spirit.
“Step aside! I’ll handle this!”
Levi suddenly appeared in front of Robed Slayer and pushed him away.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1990
Levi knew that Robed Slayer was no match for Ikken. Even more so since Robed Slayer was on the verge of death.
He’ll die if he fought him head on. Heck, he won’t level up even if he didn’t die. It’s better for me to step in.
“Huh?”
Everyone was shocked to see Robed Slayer stepping aside obediently after Levi nudged him.
Even though Levi was able to repel the men around him, no one took him seriously as the men he fought were just some goons from the Yagyuu family. They could not even be considered fighters.
They figured he was just one of Robed Slayer’s underlings.
That said, the situation at the moment seemed to be painting a different picture.
Is he really Robed Slayer’s underling?
Seeing Levi stepping forward, Ikken was a little dumbfounded.
“Who are you?” he asked instinctively.
Right then, Tenfu was about to inform the elder about Levi being Robed Slayer’s underling, but Levi interrupted him and announced, “I’m the one who killed Kenkage Yagyuu!”
His statement caught everyone off guard.
Wasn’t Robed Slayer the one that killed Kenkage?
Wait!
The men eventually realized something was off after taking a closer look.
They just fought with Robed Slayer, so they had to acknowledge his strength.
But despite that, there was no way he was powerful enough to destroy the family’s elites that easily.
He had injuries with him went he first fought the Yagyuu family. That’s not enough for him to be able to match Kenkage.
That’s impossible!
On top of that, based on how he died, it looked like Kenkage did not even stand a chance.
They figured that Robed Slayer was incapable of such a feat.
And even if he could kill Kenkage, he should be heavily injured still after the fight!
But he arrived unscathed! That means Robed Slayer never even fought Kenkage!
If it wasn’t Robed Slayer, it could only be…
Everyone’s eyes turned towards Levi.
It’s him!
He murdered Kenkage! We were wrong all along! The information the Watanabe Family gave us was inaccurate! There’s no way this guy is Robed Slayer’s underling! There’s even a chance that this guy might be the reason why he has been rampaging through Raysonia and destroying everything!
Tenfu finally realized that Robed Slayer was just an assistant, that Levi was the real deal.
“Y-You’re not Drew Leeson’s underling at all, are you! You’re not from Raysonia! You’re an Erudian!” Tenfu exclaimed.
Everyone there came to their senses as well.
With that, Ikken became wary of Levi.
Facing him reminded Ikken of someone.
A man that let him taste defeat.
His only defeat.
Coincidentally, that man was an Erudian as well, and Ikken saw him as his lifelong rival.
Ever since he lost, he secluded himself on top of the volcano behind the family grounds and started his training.
Day by day, year by year, he would hone his body and mind while forging the Godslayer with only one goal in mind. Revenge.
He wanted to defeat the man he once lost to.
Seeing that Levi killed his favorite descendant and exuded a similar presence to that of his lifelong rival, Ikken was getting fired up.
He was ready to go all out as all his senses reached peak condition.
“Today is the day I end my seclusion. The day this sword meets blood for the first time! You should feel proud, dying at the blades of the Godslayer!” Ikken bellowed.
His message was simple: A death by the Godslayer was an honorable one.
“Back then, I really hated when people pointed their guns at me,” Levi said with a blank expression as he looked at Ikken. “Now, I hate swords!”
Hearing that, Robed Slayer lowered his head in shame.
He did the same thing previously and got schooled by Levi.
Ikken was doing the same thing he did.
