Levi knew that Robed Slayer was no match for Ikken. Even more so since Robed Slayer was on the verge of death.
He’ll die if he fought him head on. Heck, he won’t level up even if he didn’t die. It’s better for me to step in.
“Huh?”
Everyone was shocked to see Robed Slayer stepping aside obediently after Levi nudged him.
Even though Levi was able to repel the men around him, no one took him seriously as the men he fought were just some goons from the Yagyuu family. They could not even be considered fighters.
They figured he was just one of Robed Slayer’s underlings.
That said, the situation at the moment seemed to be painting a different picture.
Is he really Robed Slayer’s underling?
Seeing Levi stepping forward, Ikken was a little dumbfounded.
“Who are you?” he asked instinctively.
Right then, Tenfu was about to inform the elder about Levi being Robed Slayer’s underling, but Levi interrupted him and announced, “I’m the one who killed Kenkage Yagyuu!”
His statement caught everyone off guard.
Wasn’t Robed Slayer the one that killed Kenkage?
Wait!
The men eventually realized something was off after taking a closer look.
They just fought with Robed Slayer, so they had to acknowledge his strength.
But despite that, there was no way he was powerful enough to destroy the family’s elites that easily.
He had injuries with him went he first fought the Yagyuu family. That’s not enough for him to be able to match Kenkage.
That’s impossible!
On top of that, based on how he died, it looked like Kenkage did not even stand a chance.
They figured that Robed Slayer was incapable of such a feat.
And even if he could kill Kenkage, he should be heavily injured still after the fight!
But he arrived unscathed! That means Robed Slayer never even fought Kenkage!
If it wasn’t Robed Slayer, it could only be…
Everyone’s eyes turned towards Levi.
It’s him!
He murdered Kenkage! We were wrong all along! The information the Watanabe Family gave us was inaccurate! There’s no way this guy is Robed Slayer’s underling! There’s even a chance that this guy might be the reason why he has been rampaging through Raysonia and destroying everything!
Tenfu finally realized that Robed Slayer was just an assistant, that Levi was the real deal.
“Y-You’re not Drew Leeson’s underling at all, are you! You’re not from Raysonia! You’re an Erudian!” Tenfu exclaimed.
Everyone there came to their senses as well.
With that, Ikken became wary of Levi.
Facing him reminded Ikken of someone.
A man that let him taste defeat.
His only defeat.
Coincidentally, that man was an Erudian as well, and Ikken saw him as his lifelong rival.
Ever since he lost, he secluded himself on top of the volcano behind the family grounds and started his training.
Day by day, year by year, he would hone his body and mind while forging the Godslayer with only one goal in mind. Revenge.
He wanted to defeat the man he once lost to.
Seeing that Levi killed his favorite descendant and exuded a similar presence to that of his lifelong rival, Ikken was getting fired up.
He was ready to go all out as all his senses reached peak condition.
“Today is the day I end my seclusion. The day this sword meets blood for the first time! You should feel proud, dying at the blades of the Godslayer!” Ikken bellowed.
His message was simple: A death by the Godslayer was an honorable one.
“Back then, I really hated when people pointed their guns at me,” Levi said with a blank expression as he looked at Ikken. “Now, I hate swords!”
Hearing that, Robed Slayer lowered his head in shame.
He did the same thing previously and got schooled by Levi.
Ikken was doing the same thing he did.
