Even though those young talents were strong, they stood no chance at all when they were being targeted.
Apart from Josephine and the others, who were “locked up” by Levi, and Forlevia, who were taken away by The Cardinal Hall, all of Erudia’s young talents had been injured severely.
Even the top three of the Stone List were targets of the assassination.
Nevertheless, they were on completely different levels from the other young talents, so they managed to kill all the assassins and fight their way out.
It was not without a price, though. All three of them were severely injured.
“How could you let the top three escape? Don’t you know they’re much stronger than other talents? Why didn’t you send more assassins? What if they expose us?” The leader of the Raysonian forces was infuriated when he learned about the top three’s escape.
“Sir, we’re sorry for our incompetence, but we can still fix this! The top three were separated and have gone missing. We can still find them before they return to their respective forces.”
Hearing that, the leader ordered, “Send our men to hunt them down and kill them before anyone finds them. Also, I need you to spread the news that this is the Seven Fiends’ deed. They were angry about The Cardinal Hall capturing Levi, so they retaliated by targeting all of Erudia’s young talents.”
“Yes, sir!” his subordinates answered.
“We have destroyed Erudia’s foundation and ruined its future! Its authority is now fighting with Fiery Demon’s followers. This has undermined Erudia’s martial arts world. This is our chance! Rasonian Bushido shall rise and conquer the martial arts world!”
The Rasonians were elated to hear that.
The horrific news of hundreds of young talents being incapacitated stirred up a storm in Erudia.
They were the future of Erudia’s martial arts world, and now the future was ruined.
The ancient factions were fuming in anger.
It was heartbreaking to see their disciples lying on the ground with weak vital signs.
“Who did this? We will definitely make them pay!”
The Dragonites and The Cardinal Hall were also knocked sideways by the news.
As the most powerful organization, The Cardinal Hall was responsible for ensuring the martial arts world’s prosperity.
Its main duty was to protect and train the younger generation.
Hence, the news came as a devastating blow to them.
“All the young talents were incapacitated? This could ruin the future of Erudia’s martial arts world! Go and find out who did this!”
Soon, rumors had it that it was the Seven Fiends’ deed. They were angry that Fiery Demon’s heir was captured, so they retaliated by incapacitating all Erudia’s young talents.
No one doubted the truthfulness of the rumor.
After all, apart from Eragon and The Cardinal Hall, only Fiery Demon’s forces had the power to cause such catastrophe.
Never had they suspected that a foreign force was behind this.
Unbeknownst to them, many foreign forces flocked into Erudia when it opened its border during the chaos.
Many elites from the Raysonian forces had infiltrated many parts of Erudia, which explained why they could catch Erudia off guard.
It was clearly premeditated.
“How dare they ruin the future of Erudia’s martial arts world! We must get rid of Fiery Demon’s followers and kill the Seven Fiends!”
All of them were furious.
“What? The Seven Fiends were the ones behind this? How could this be?” Wynona was shocked when she heard about the news, for the Seven Fiends were with them last night since they received Levi’s order.
