Recently, someone noticed a phenomenon.
Levi’s loftiest position on the Gem List was a blow to The Cardinal Hall.
He could do as he wished, and no one would be able to stop him.
Wasn’t this the perfect timing for him to bring back the Era of Fiends and unleash calamity in Erudia, turning it into hell on earth?
Strangely, the wheels towards that infernal plan weren’t turning.
Levi’s henchmen, the Seven Fiends, didn’t budge; instead, they behaved like any other lawful citizens.
Rumors had it that Blood Fiend stopped using human blood for his cultivation, and Venom Fiend found an alternative to humans for testing his poison.
Not only that, it was said that some of them had even stopped their killing and turned over a new leaf.
They had practically changed overnight!
With their power, they could turn the world upside down, but they did nothing like that! They didn’t even commit a single evil deed.
Why?
What have changed them?
People were scratching their heads and feeling something uncanny about this one hundred-eighty-degree change.
After all, they were Fiends!
Well, most people heard it from the grapevine, and by human nature, they spread it wherever they went.
They believed everything they heard but had they seen the Fiends personally?
No!
Mercifully, there was a handful of clear-minded people who desisted from being flushed into the swirl.
They realized that something was off.
Since Levi became the head of the Fiends, instead of threatening law and order, the things that he did actually made Erudia a better place.
The Seven Fiends and their followers changed completely too.
Soon, news regarding the false accusation on the Seven Fiends incapacitated hundreds of young talents in Erudia came out… It was not them.
The assailants had their identity concealed by wearing masks.
It definitely wasn’t the style of the Seven Fiends.
They’d be more than eager to show off every inch of their features and skin so that the whole world would know that they did it.
Why would they hide behind the curtain?
Of course, that wasn’t the only giveaway. More and more evidence surfaced and cleared their name of all malign undertakings.
“I choose to believe the Crown King. Maybe he’s trying to direct these devilish creatures to become Erudia’s heroes!”
“I think so too! He is trustworthy!”
Levi had been out of the scene for quite some time, and that reinforced the faith in some people.
The Cardinal Hall’s bleak prophecy of a catastrophe remained a prophecy.
The Era of Fiends never came!
While the general public surmised Levi’s intentions, he cured almost all the geniuses of Erudia!
The elite warriors put their noses to the grindstone in regaining their strength and skills the moment their martial vein healed.
On top of that, Levi sent Sword Fiend and his men to look for the missing top three warriors on the Stone list, and they found them!
He then got them back on their feet and helped restore their power.
The majority of Erudia’s elite warriors had fully recovered thus far.
Not only had the warriors recovered, but they’d also successfully upped their strengths under Levi’s guidance. In other words, the warriors were now up a notch! By the time Raysonia could carry out an attack, the Erudia warriors would be all set to lock horns.
No one could’ve foreseen that, especially Raysonia. Their jaws dropped when they saw hundreds of Erudia’s elite warriors marching.
Levi shattered their wretched scheme all alone!
What Levi wanted to do next was related to Delano.
He wanted to know about the strengths and weaknesses of Raysonia and thought surveilling Delano would help. Neither Raysonia nor Delano knew about Levi’s strategy.
One day when Levi and Venom Fiend was on their way home after healing a genius, Levi stopped.
“You’ve been following us all the way, haven’t you? Show yourself.”
Venom Fiend froze in shock, for he failed to notice that they were being followed.
H-How did Levi notice that?
“Hahaha! So this is what the number one on the Gem List is capable of! I’m impressed!”
Five people appeared and stood in front of them.
Who are these people? How did they figure out our real identity?
Venom Fiend was still in shock.
