Everyone celebrated the death of the Northern Demon while the Crown King’s fame spread far and wide.
The entire world speculated about his identity again.
However, Erudia knew that she had lost a son.
Although the world wasn’t aware of the Crown King’s retirement, they would find out about it sooner or later.
When that happened, trouble would come knocking again.
Back at the Dragonites’ base, everyone looked somber.
Levi was holding a folded flag in his hand.
The flag was torn and drenched in blood to the extent one could still smell its stench.
It was the same flag Levi brought back from Mount Drago.
Placed on top of it was the Dragon Ring.
“From today onwards, I, Levi Garrison, relinquish the position of the Crown King!” Levi declared.
The crowd sighed. “Why don’t you reconsider?”
“I have given it careful thought!”
Finally, Levi returned the two items.
From that moment on, he was no longer the Crown King.
He had become a civilian and was ready to spend time with his family and live a peaceful life.
“Since you have made up your mind, we approve your resignation.”
“You have done more than enough for Erudia. So, let us deal with The Avengers in your place.”
The Dragonites didn’t dare ask anymore of Levi.
“Alright then!”
Levi accepted their offer.
Finally, all the Dragonites watched as Levi left.
And that was the end of a legend.
Meanwhile, back at the Lopez residence in North Hampton, Malcolm’s funeral was just completed.
After the truth about the Four Basilisks was revealed, he was no longer considered a deserter.
In fact, in recognition of his sacrifice, the honor and rewards due to him were bestowed upon Wilton.
No one could do anything to Levi.
When they saw him return, they lamented, “You are really lucky to be among the thirty who survived. After all, most of the nine-hundred men were killed.”
As Zoey had finally reunited with Levi, she was all happy.
Despite the jealousy and resentment the others felt, there was nothing they could do about it.
They had no choice but to watch as Levi reunited with his family happily.
After he returned, Levi gathered Albus and the other head of Great Families.
The five of them talked throughout the night.
During the talk, Levi informed them about his retirement as the Crown King.
With that, Levi’s life returned to normal.
During the day, he would help Zoey run the company and then care of the children.
His days were filled with bliss and happiness.
At the same time, everything in Erudia returned to normalcy.
As for The Avengers, they had yet to be destroyed.
Their leaders had fled overseas where they were given land and islands.
Furthermore, Zarain bestowed upon them the title of a king.
Hence, there was no way Erudia could attack them anymore.
Nevertheless, they were not a threat to Erudia for the time being.
All Erudia could do was bide its time for another opportunity.
Soon, a year passed by and there was peace in Erudia.
No one had dared to stir any trouble.
In fact, there were many countries that wanted to improve their diplomatic ties with Erudia.
It was a consequence of the power demonstrated by the Crown King.
Suddenly, something shocking happened in Erudia. The Nine Lords appeared out of nowhere.
Every one of them was exceptionally powerful. Although their strength wasn’t on par with the Crown King or the Northern Demon, they were at least as strong as the Five Dragons of Erudia.
Their objective was to protect the nation.
The world was shocked by the news which served to intensify the fear and reverence the other countries felt toward Erudia.
Erudia welcomed the news with jubilation.
After all, its citizens were proud of its growing strength.
Unbeknownst to most, the Nine Lords were connected to someone…
