Chapter 2198 The Elders
However, the Sacred Organization didn’t appear together with Zoey as they were hiding in the shadows.
After all, they had stayed out of sight over the last three years.
All this while, they had kept a low profile. Other than the Lab of Gods and Levi, no one else took notice of them.
Hence, their existence remained unknown.
Therefore, they were using Zoey as a decoy so that their fighters could attack later.
Zoey’s presence had ruffled the feathers of many who were present as there was a lot of bad blood between them.
Therefore, the sight of her gave them the urge to tear her apart.
Over the last three years, the Dark Emperor had used Zoey to kill a huge number of people. Therefore, she had made innumerable enemies everywhere.
In other words, Zoey was the person with the most enemies in this era.
Everyone who saw her wanted to kill her.
“Look, Zoey is here!”
Tyrone and the others looked in Zoey’s direction.
Donald glanced at her.
“Alright, I got it. Once I get my hands on the Skyward Sword, she will be the first one to have a taste of it! Keep an eye on her and don’t let her leave,” Donald instructed.
Most of those who were present shared his sentiments.
They too wanted to kill Zoey.
Some planned to kill her after retrieving the Skyward Sword, while others plan to do so during the process itself.
Nevertheless, all of them shared the same goal of obtaining the sword and killing Zoey.
“Zoey, you’re finally here! You can forget about claiming the Skyward Sword as you will be dead soon enough!”
Edmund glared intently at her. “Didn’t I tell you that I will kill you the next time you enter Erudia? This is your own doing! Today, you will not leave this place alive!”
Meanwhile, Wynona and the others felt conflicted in the face of Zoey.
They were in a dilemma as to whether to kill her or let her go.
Hence, they were sandwiched between their personal and professional obligations.
What should we do about Zoey later? We can neither kill her nor release her.
However, Zoey didn’t say a word as she didn’t plan on leaving the place alive.
Her objective was to kill the rest of her enemies.
Sweeping her gaze around, she saw her hypocritical foes everywhere.
I will kill all of them and take the Skyward Sword on my master’s behalf. That itself is worth my sacrifice.
“Mom…”
In the shadows, Forlevia’s emotions were stirred by the sight of Zoey, to the extent she almost cried out loud.
If not for the mental discipline instilled in her by The Cardinal Hall, Forlevia would have likely lost control of her emotions.
At that moment, she could see that Zoey was visibly out of sorts.
If she were to reveal herself to Zoey, she figured she would only create more problems instead.
Hence, she had to restrain herself and be patient.
However, the elders in the shadows felt conflicted.
“What are we going to do? If Forlevia’s mom is attacked, should we help?” Elder Celia asked.
“Erm…”
The other elders were stunned.
Considering their identity and the strategic situation, they were in a dilemma.
“We can only base our decisions on Forlevia’s safety. As for anyone else, they are none of our business. We will only intervene if Forlevia is in danger. After all, this was what we agreed and we must stick to it,” someone asserted.
“However, that’s Forlevia’s mom right there. If something happens to her, Forlevia will be devastated.”
Elder Celia shook her dead. “That can only be her fate. Our role is to ensure Forlevia’s safety and nothing else!”
“Exactly. We will only interfere when Forlevia is in danger. Even if we have to face the ancient Garrison clan.”
“Mmm-hmm. Understood!”
Everyone nodded in acknowledgment.
Their principle remained unchanged. No matter how desperate Forlevia was, they would not interfere.
In the meantime, the entire place was filled with strong fighters.
As the Skyward Sword was about to emerge, Solaris Energy began to fill the atmosphere.
