Levi had stood up again.
He had not been defeated, and he could still fight on! The Erudian banner could still fly high!
“Charge!”
The God class warriors rushed in for the kill.
“Die!”
Broken sword in hand, Levi moved toward them fearlessly.
Zap! Zap! Zap!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Like an awakened beast, an unstoppable Levi charged into the enemies.
Those God class warriors were no match for him, and soon, many were down on the ground, injured or dead.
The warriors were caught off-guard by Levi’s ferocious counter-attack. But despite the earlier massive loss, they quickly recovered, adjusted their formation, and trapped him again.
After the numerous rounds of savage battles, Levi was physically drained and badly injured.
Time and again, he collapsed under their brutal attack.
Plonk!
He got hit, fell to the ground, and vomited blood.
Boom!
Alas, he would soon be up on his feet, fighting on again.
Thud!
Fell again, and up he stood again.
This went on and on. He would have fallen hundreds of times, but each time, no matter how painful or drained he was, he forced himself up.
By that time, his Dragon Mask was already tainted red, from both his own and his opponents’ blood.
His clothes were torn and tattered, and uncountable ugly wounds were visible on his bare torso.
It was his unbendable willpower that sustained him and enabled him to continue with the battle.
Every time he fell, the Erudians’ hearts bled for him.
And every time he stood up again, their tears fell for him.
He was only human, an ordinary man, but his love for Erudia made him ignore those unbearable sufferings and brought out his surreal god-like powers.
The result of his persistent fighting was the thousands of God class warriors were all eliminated. He left none of them standing.
As Levi stood up to survey the aftermath, the skies turned dark, and the rain came pouring down in torrents, misting the entire Mount Drago.
Prince William and Kuro Dragon were shocked beyond words.
They could not believe the thousands of God class warriors could not stop a severely injured Levi.
He is definitely not human!
He has to be a devil reincarnate.
That was the only explanation they could give for the unbelievable superpower Levi displayed in the battles.
The more powerful he was, the bigger a threat he was to them. They had to get rid of the Crown King, by hook or by crook.
“It is going to be alright. I have more backup plans!”
“Thousands more of my men are on standby, ready to stall him as he makes his move from here to the peak of Mount Drago, and he has only two hours left to cover that distance. There is no way he is going to make it!” Kuro Dragon quipped.
He had thousands of men waiting to be mobilized, and that was his final trump card.
“That’s right! Crown King is already in this sorry state, and we have the advantage in numbers. Even if he escapes death, he can never complete his mission within the timeline.” Prince William sneered.
Levi continued his journey toward the peak of the mountain, and as he reached the side of the mountain, what greeted him was masses of human figures crowding his path.
It was a spectacular sight! The men stood shoulder to shoulder, and the crowd stretched all the way to the peak of the mountain, as far as Levi’s sight could reach.
Levi could only shake his head in disbelief and sighed resignedly.
He wasn’t sure he could make it through this last challenge, as he could feel his senses dulling, his body being pushed beyond the limits.
There were too many men, and the sheer number could drain him to his last ounce of energy.
Zoey.
Evie.
Mother.
And my brotherly team….
Memories of all the people he loved flashed past his mind, and that gave him the determination to fight on.
“No! I cannot fall! I must live to see my mother, my wife, my daughter, and all my trusted friends! I will have to raise the Erudian Banner!”
With that promise, he held on firmly to the Erudian banner in one hand, and with his broken sword in the other, he hollered, “Charge! Erudia would never fall!”
Levi was reinvigorated, and the downpour could not dampen his spirits as he charged into the crowd.
