Chapter 2206 Piercing Zoey With The Sword
Hiding in the shadows, the elders were getting anxious.
They didn’t care nor wanted to hear about Zoey, but Forlevia’s every move meant everything to them.
Hence, they nervously watched on as Forlevia faced off with Donald.
Cognizant of how powerful Forlevia was, Donald launched his attacks without holding back at all.
In response, Forlevia had to fight back with the best of her abilities, notwithstanding the fact that she had to protect her mother too.
Everyone was bewildered by the battle between Forlevia and Donald.
How can the child be so strong as to stand toe to toe against someone as powerful as Donald?
Considering everyone knew how formidable Donald was, they were astounded by the fact that Forlevia was able to stand her ground against him.
Furthermore, they were amazed that Forlevia could fend off Donald while protecting Zoey at the same time.
Even Edmund was dumbfounded by what he saw.
Just as expected, the elders have raised such a powerful child. From the looks of it, Evie can take me and Donald on at the same time.
“What are you spacing out for? Go and kill Zoey!” Donald snapped.
Regaining his senses, Edmund launched his assault on Zoey.
As if she had gone berserk, Forlevia beat Donald back and rushed to stop Edmund’s attack.
The savage battle caused everyone to hold their breath in suspense.
They couldn’t believe that such a small body could contain so much power.
No wonder she is known as the child genius of The Cardinal Hall!
Back in the shadows, the elders smiled in relief.
They could finally see the progress that Forlevia made.
“That’s how amazing our disciple is!”
Elder Celia was filled with pride.
At that moment, Forlevia had managed to hold off Edmund and Donald’s attacks concurrently.
Obviously, Edmund didn’t go all out as he was worried about suffering the wrath of the elders.
“All of you, attack together quickly!” Donald barked.
Realizing that was their cue, Tyrone and the other Garrison clan elites charged at Forlevia.
At the same time, Tyrone understood what the plan was.
Letting Edmund kill Zoey aside, the true reason Donald wanted to stop Forlevia was that he intended to capture her. After that, he could use her as a hostage to force The Cardinal Hall into handing over the Skyward Sword.
It was evident to everyone how important Forlevia was to The Cardinal Hall.
Considering Edmund’s ruthless character, it was strikingly against his nature when he and the whole of The Cardinal Hall held themselves back in the face of Forlevia.
Their actions had demonstrated Forlevia’s indispensable position in The Cardinal Hall.
Therefore, once she was captured, Edmund would have no choice but to hand over the sword in exchange for Forlevia.
Consequently, it was a wonderful opportunity.
Whoever had the child would be able to claim the Skyward Sword.
Tyrone was amazed by Donald’s quick thinking.
Looks like Edmund didn’t see this coming.
With that, the Garrison clan piled on the pressure upon Forlevia.
Gradually, the other factions saw through Donald’s plan.
They too realized that capturing Forlevia was the key to obtaining the Skyward Sword.
“Let’s attack too! We have to capture the child!”
With the crowd riled up, all of them joined the battle hoping to capture Forlevia.
In a very short moment, thousands of men attacked her simultaneously.
No matter how strong she was, she could no longer protect Zoey as she could barely defend herself anymore.
Meanwhile, Donald and his men began to feel anxious.
By failing to capture Forlevia within the short window they had, they allowed everyone else to see through their plan.
With so much competition, securing Forlevia had become significantly more difficult.
In the meantime, Edmund finally realized what their agenda was. The crowd intended to take Forlevia so that they could exchange her for the sword.
However, he had realized it too late and couldn’t do anything about it.
Forget it. I should kill Zoey first.
With the Skyward Sword in his hand, he charged at Zoey and thrust it at her.
Whoosh!
Everyone was stunned by the piercing sound.
