Who was that? Who was the one who injured Levi? Who was the one who defeated Fiery Demon’s heir?
The whole world was buzzing with speculations.
Levi was left lying injured on the battleground, and he was alone. That meant the victor had left the place, not wanting to boast about the victory nor be in the limelight. That further piqued everyone’s interest in the victor’s identity.
After much speculations, they narrowed it down to one person, Robed Slayer, the one who was previously ranked second on the Gem List.
Previously, there were rumors abound that Robed Slayer was prepared to duel with Levi, although no one had any further news on Robed Slayer.
The public suspected it was probably Robed Slayer who challenged Levi to a fight, won and left.
After all, he was rumored to be a low-profile person who shunned the limelight. The only reason he would want to defeat Levi would be to crush the ego of Levi and his followers, so they could not go on creating trouble for Erudia’s martial artists.
The public was convinced Robed Slayer was the one who defeated Levi, and he became the new idol.
The youth warriors of The Cardinal Hall who were imprisoned by Fiery Demon’s followers were elated when they heard of Levi’s defeat.
Trenton was especially overjoyed. “You are finally defeated, Levi! This day finally arrived! A terrible fate is awaiting you,” he hooted.
Everyone celebrated, and only Yasmine and Josephine showed signs of sorrow.
News of Levi’s defeat and injury worried them. After their interactions with Levi, they could tell he was not a bad guy. In fact, he was far from bad.
Other than Landon, who deserved death, Levi had not hurt any one of them.
Even at the battle on Terragon Hill, he only injured the Erudian martial artists and did not kill any of those warriors.
During the period they were held captive, Levi and his men had never made life difficult for them.
Most notable was Trenton, who was a trouble-maker. Being such a nuisance, they had plenty of excuses to kill him. However, not only did they not do that, they did not even lift a finger to hurt him.
Levi set a good example, and he also instructed his followers to do the same.
He prohibited Blood Fiend from taking human blood and laid down rules for the Seven Fiends that restricted them from killing and harming people.
He was exceptionally nice to the two girls too.
They could not believe such a man was the Fiery Demon’s heir. If he were really such a wicked person, they would have been violated and likely killed.
News of Levi’s defeat brought them mixed emotions, and they could not help but worry for him. They prayed for his safety, even though they knew he was Fiery Demon’s heir.
“Josephine, did you hear that? Levi was defeated, and he is dying! We will be freed soon! I’ve had enough of being locked up!” Trenton ran to them, happily announcing the good news.
Josephine and Yasmin found him irritating and gave him the cold shoulder, as they felt Levi had never imprisoned them.
“And it had to be Robed Slayer! If given a chance, I want to be his disciple!” Trenton did not notice the cold reaction from the girls and continued chattering away.
The news of Levi’s defeat was also met with disbelief in Raysonia.
Just as they sent Ghost Samurai out on his mission to assassinate Okano, they received the mind-boggling news of Levi’s defeat.
Bruce had just arrived back at Zarain, and he was initially shocked by the news. However, he quickly reconciled that fact, and a smile appeared on his face.
So Levi lost out to Zoey!
His mission was accomplished. He could easily imagine the fate of a badly injured Levi in the hands of the warriors from The Cardinal Hall.
With Levi dead and Zoey in that state of mind, the outcome couldn’t be more ideal for him.
At the ruined hospital grounds, more and more people flocked over to the scene. They all wanted to witness firsthand the fall of the Fiery Demon’s heir.
“Robed Slayer defeated Levi! Long live Robed Slayer!”
“This is the Robe Era!”
Kaiden and his team from The Cardinal Hall rushed over to the scene, and they yelled out to Levi, “Surrender and leave quietly with us, Levi!”
However, Levi taunted them by saying, “Do you really think you can get me?”
