“I-It’s freaking Levi! H-How are you still alive!”
Byron couldn’t even form a complete sentence when he found out he had been right all along—Levi was alive! Even Deicide couldn’t take him out!
Clenching his teeth with all his might in an attempt to calm himself, Byron continued stammering, “Y-You…”
“I’m afraid it’s impossible for you to take him away with you until you take me out.”
The mysterious figure behind Byron started emanating a menacing aura, intimidating those in the hall.
Since he was merely a step away from Rank Seven, he was no ordinary Rank Six combatant. In short, he was one of the few formidable foes Levi had ever encountered.
Swoosh!
He drew his long sword that seemed like one of the Raysonia’s samurai. The sword seemed to have been loaded with a mysterious form of energy, granting him the power to take out his foe without much of a challenge.
Schneider did a great job incorporating the techniques of Raysonia with the advancement of technology. Thus, Byron felt a sense of relief with Schneider around him.
“I won’t allow you to take anyone away with you as long as I’m around here!”
Schneider repeated himself for one last time before catapulting in the direction of the intruder.
Swoosh!
He managed to move at the speed of light with his sword and crashed the floor as a result of his brute force.
The seemingly powerful man thought Levi was merely a prey of his. He was certain he could take him out with a powerful blow.
“Are you trying to outmatch me in terms of speed?”
Levi asked with a scowl and dashed in his foe’s direction with the Northern Excalibur.
Bam!
The duo passed by one another’s side in split seconds and had their back facing one another after a mere two to three seconds.
It seemed as if nothing had occurred, but blood gushed out of Schneider’s arm after another few seconds.
Clank!
He dropped his sword seconds after his body had split into half.
Levi had taken out someone who was merely a step away from Rank Seven within split seconds and drenched those in the hall with blood.
Startled by the horrifying scene, Jameson was about to pass out. Consequently, he stammered, “S-Stay away from me!”
When Levi approached the startled Byron, he announced with a smirk, “Why don’t you come with me and stop trying anything silly since there’s no way you’re running away from me!”
Bam! Bam! Bam!
A few punches were all it took to destroy Byron’s body parts he had spent days and weeks touching up. Levi dragged the dejected man out of the hall and announced, “Jared, I’m coming after you soon!”
Levi marched his way to the coronation ceremony with his eyes glinting in wrath.
“B-Byron has been taken into custody!”
All hell broke loose in the laboratory as the staff was unsure if they should leave the laboratory.
Meanwhile, there was a battleship docked in the middle of Zarain’s ocean.
The coronation ceremony would be held on the battleship since Jared was highly regarded by the officials of Zarain.
Henry and his peers, who were there for the ceremony, were certain they had made the right decision to join Jared in his future endeavors.
Bruce, who was seated next to the important guests, saw someone rushing to his side, whispering the moment he reached him, “Sir, we have bad news!”
“What’s wrong?” Bruce asked with a frown.
“Your brother has been taken into custody by an Erudian a few minutes ago.”
Bruce gaped at the seemingly unbelievable news and asked, “Come again?”
His frustration was written all over his face.
