For quite some time, Venom Fiend and Levi had been trotting around Erudia in disguise with the latter as the Genius Doctor, and no one had ever seen through their false identity before!
They were using the disguise technique which Levi acquired from the ancient manual, and for someone to be not get deceived sent shockwaves down their spines.
These people are up to no good!
Venom Fiend kept his eyes affixed to the men across from him.
They were all in black robes and had blood-red masks on.
An upright cross could be seen embroidered on the chest area of their garment.
“The Sacred Organization?” Levi raised his brow and chuckled.
That was the first thing that came into his mind at first glance.
Sword Fiend did mention before that the defectors who managed to escape joined the Sacred Organization and were resolute in seeking revenge.
Their efficiency caught Levi by surprise, though.
“Really?” Venom wanted to make sure.
“Venom, have you forgotten who I am?”
One of the men slowly took off his mask. It was a familiar face.
It was Notos who went abroad with Death Fiend!
“And me, Venom?”
Another man removed his mask.
He is Tempestus! It is the Sacred Organization!
Venom Fiend found it hard to believe that his mates, whom he hadn’t met in ages, were standing right in front of him.
Yet, something was different about them.
They weren’t his swashbuckling comrades under the leadership of Cyrus anymore.
They’d become soulless puppets.
“You… What are you doing here?” asked Venom Fiend, slightly recovered from stupefaction.
Notos perked his lips. “We aren’t here for you. We’re looking for him!”
In a flash, all eyes were on Levi.
“And how may I help you?” Levi nonchalantly responded.
“Congratulations! We’ve been observing you for quite a while and have concluded that you’re qualified to be one of us. We’d like to welcome you to the Sacred Organization!”
“Huh?”
Levi and Venom Fiend looked at each other perplexed.
What the heck? Aren’t they here looking for trouble? What do they mean by “welcome to the organization?”
Venom Fiend’s eyes grew wider and wider. He simply couldn’t fathom this outrageous invitation.
He was about to contact the other fiends for help a second ago.
“The Sacred Organization had been watching you very closely long before your battle with Robed Slayer. Now that you’ve topped the Gem List, you’re qualified to join us. You’re going to be a high-rank official. Who knows, you might be the leader of the organization in the future?” The men were genuine.
They were sincerely hoping to rope Levi into joining them.
However, Levi and Venom Fiend managed to read between the lines.
The number one warrior on the Gem List was like an entry-level fighter in the Sacred Organization. Hmm, if Erudia’s cream of the crop had only just hit the passing mark, how strong actually is the Sacred Organization?
Levi and Venom Fiend were both curious.
Wasn’t it Death who founded the Sacred Organization? He is strong but only as strong as Fiery Demon at the most! I don’t think he’s good enough to scoff at Levi yet.
“Hey, Notos, is it Death who’s at the helm of this organization?”
“Absolutely not! You’ve belittled the Sacred Organization! Death is capable but he’s just one of the Eight Dark Spirits, who were posited somewhere midway along the hierarchy. The real devils are on the top of the pyramid, especially our leader! Everyone calls him the Dark Emperor! He’s way scarier than Cyrus!” explained Notos.
Tempestus nodded in agreement. “Gale is right. We’re just gofers there. The Sacred Organization is way stronger than anyone could’ve imagined, and that explains why Levi is qualified to join us.”
What Notos and Tempestus were implying was that Levi was very strong but he barely made the cut.
No way! That’s how egregiously strong that organization is?
Death is just a stooge?
“So, Levi, are you in?”
