Even after two minutes, the Northern Demon was nowhere in sight.
Five minutes passed, and things remained the same.
Where the hell is he?
He was clearly only meters away from us just now.
How could he have disappeared so suddenly?
“Who cares? Let’s just run!”
With that, the four of them turned tail and ran like there was no tomorrow.
This time, the Northern Demon did not go after them.
Thus, they successfully made it out of the Ether.
The mystery around the disappearance of the Northern Demon remained.
But no, he did not disappear.
Instead, he was stopped by someone.
Just when the Northern Demon was about to catch up to the Four Basilisks, someone appeared in front of him.
“I’m the one you should be fighting!”
That someone was none other than Levi.
As though remembering something, the Northern Demon remarked, “No wonder The Avengers never showed up. It’s because of you!”
Levi smiled. “That’s right. I was the one who got rid of all of them.”
Levi had been busy after leading thirty or so men from the Suicide Squad to infiltrate the Ether.
While the Four Basilisks and the Northern Demon were locked in an intense battle, they had eliminated The Avengers who were preparing an ambush on the other side.
Kuro Dragon was a cautious man.
Even though he knew how powerful the Northern Demon was, he still positioned half of the ‘The Avengers’ force around him as a precaution.
Hence, it took Levi some time to get rid of them.
After dealing with them, he rushed back over to provide backup.
However, he was still a step too late.
The Suicide Squad was already wiped out.
Thus, he immediately went after the Northern Demon.
“I thought the disciples of those four old fellas were the main characters, but it turns out that you are!”
The Northern Demon sized Levi up with intrigue gleaming in his eyes.
“You’re not too shabby for a young man, but can you stop me though?”
The Northern Demon placed his hands behind his back and peered down at him condescendingly.
“It’s hard to know without giving it a try.”
Levi chuckled.
“What’s the point? You’ll only be seeking death!”
“Not many people can impress me, so I’ve decided to give you a chance. Follow me instead of foolishly giving up your life for Erudia!”
It was completely unexpected that the Northern Demon had intentions to recruit Levi.
Levi’s mouth curled into a sneer. “Never! As the Crown King, it is my duty to protect this country. I will never follow you!”
The Northern Demon smiled mirthlessly. “Ahh, so you’re the Crown King! Even better. After I get rid of you, who in Erudia can stop me?”
“Enough bullsh*t! Let’s just get on with it!”
With that, Levi launched an attack using his iron fists.
The force of his power resembled the weight of an entire mountain.
Web-like cracks immediately appeared on the desert land, and the ground started to cave in as a fissure formed along it.
A hundred meters extended into a thousand and more.
Dust billowed around the area.
A cyclone took form, rushing straight toward the sky.
This scene was even more terrifying than a sandstorm.
The Four Basilisks, who had escaped far away, witnessed this, they were utterly shocked.
“Is that a sandstorm?”
“No. Someone’s fighting!”
Heracles sucked in a sharp breath.
“Do you think it’s the Northern Demon?”
“It must be! It seems like someone stopped him before he could catch up to us!”
“But who could’ve stopped the Northern Demon? Not to mention exert such a powerful force?”
“Should we stay and take a closer look?”
They stopped in their tracks to exchange glances.
In the center of the battlefield, the Northern Demon was stunned upon witnessing Levi’s prowess.
But the next moment, he guffawed. “Haha! Very well!”
With a simple waved his hand, the dust rose to form a wall in front of him, blocking Levi’s attack.
