That was when everyone from The Cardinal Hall realized how the troops had vanished without a trace.
Wait… What? Levi actually dug a freaking tunnel through the mountain? That’s how everyone disappeared? Unbelievable! How could any of us see this coming? If the higher-ups decide to pursue this matter, we would all be guilty of severe negligence and held responsible for it! Good thing Levi is still here, or we’d be in big trouble! Still, the fact that he’s here leads us to a few more questions…
Why would he have the Seven Fiends leave like that? Why would he stay behind all by himself? Isn’t this practically suicide? Why wouldn’t he escape when he had the chance?
If he’s not planning on running, he should at least have kept his entire army with him! The Fiends are formidable warriors, so why would he have them leave?
This doesn’t make any sense no matter how you look at it! In fact, his act of summoning all of the Fiery Demon’s forces and having them gather here was illogical, to begin with! He’s basically presenting us with an opportunity to wipe them all out in one fell swoop!
Everyone racked their brains, but no one was able to comprehend the logic behind Levi’s actions.
Little did they know, everything Levi did was to minimize Erudia’s losses so its enemies wouldn’t benefit from the infighting.
He had never truly abandoned his duties as the God of War and Crown King, so trusting him fully and unconditionally would have been the best option.
The Cardinal Hall had not expected things to turn out like that, let alone the Raysonian forces who just realized Levi was the only one remaining in Terragon Hill.
Not only were they unable to witness a bloodbath between Levi’s men and the Erudian forces, but it was also impossible for them to make it look like Levi had killed everyone.
After all, the entire world was watching, and those present at the scene were the strongest warriors in existence.
“Something feels off!”
Frowns could be seen on the faces of the Raysonian troops hiding near Terragon Hill.
They were all dumbfounded when their spies within The Cardinal Hall informed them of the situation.
“Have someone investigate this and find out what’s going on!”
They decided to send some of their warriors to check on things at Terragon Hill.
In doing so, they had exposed themselves to Levi’s men who had been keeping an eye on them the whole time.
The Seven Fiends too began making their move by having some of them rescue Zoey while the others were tasked with investigating the clues they had.
Kaiden shot Levi a deadly glare as he asked, “What the hell are you trying to do, Levi?”
Levi simply flashed him a smile in response and said, “Nothing at all! You guys wanted to kill me, didn’t you? Well? Bring it on, then! I can take you all alone!”
“Y-You…You insolent fool! You’re only ranked sixth on the Gem List! There are tons of people much stronger than you!”
“Today is the day you die, Levi!”
Levi’s words had angered a lot of people at the scene, but they were all wondering Levi’s purpose behind his actions.
Jared had a strange look on his face as he stood in the crowd.
He was so well-hidden that even Levi didn’t see him when he scanned the crowd several times.
“Oh, no! We’ve been baited!” he shouted all of a sudden.
While Jared didn’t fully understand Levi’s reasons for having the Seven Fiends retreat so suddenly, he figured Levi must’ve sent someone to rescue Zoey.
“There’s something else I need to take care of, so I’ll let you guys deal with Levi! Bye now!”
Just like that, Jared had left Terragon Hill and rushed straight for Gamma Tech training base.
