Chapter 2332 I Am Going Alone
Levi knew that it was even harder to clear things up now.
They had witnessed how he almost got torn to pieces by the mutated zombies and would naturally think that he was too weak to fight back.
It’s all Death Fiend’s fault! If he had resolved the issue earlier, I would’ve easily destroyed those monsters with one hit. Why the hell would I need to be rescued?
Try as he might, Levi couldn’t hide the frustration on his face.
If Death Fiend and the others were in front of him, he’d have kicked them without any hesitation.
Unfortunately, when everyone else saw how glum Levi was, they had a different interpretation for it.
They thought Levi was upset for not being strong enough to defend himself and that he could only resign to fate in life-threatening situations.
After all, Levi used to be the all-mighty hero and savior of the world.
But now, he couldn’t even protect himself in times of danger, no matter how hard he tried.
In the end, he even had to suffer the humiliation of being rescued by others.
However, everyone knew it was only in the face of adversity that people could learn the sobering truth of their abilities.
Only then could they leave the past behind and focus on improving themselves.
Because of that, even though Levi had been in grave danger just a while ago, Zoey and the rest knew it was all worthwhile.
That life-changing moment must have made Levi realize his inadequacies and spurred him on!
Nothing else could be more convincing than the harsh, cold reality!
Zoey was the first to break the uncomfortable silence around them. “We’re all responsible for this! It’s our fault for not protecting you well. If not for that, you wouldn’t have been in so much danger.”
A smile then crept across her face as she added, “Levi, do you now see the differences between the past and present?”
Levi nodded solemnly. “I sure have! If I had these in the past, world destruction would’ve been easy!”
There might not have been mutants in the past, but if Levi were in control of any back then, he’d have ruled the world.
Alas, the people around him had once again interpreted his words differently. To them, it sounded like Levi had finally admitted the stark differences between the past and present.
He was slowly warming up to the modern age and realizing how much more work he needed to put in.
As such, they were all sure that he was ready to move on from the past.
“That’s why you’ll have to work on the modern techniques once you get back, Levi! You’ve recognized the gap, so now it’s up to you to close that gap!” Zoey exclaimed, the smile still plastered on her face.
Floyd chimed in, “She’s right, Master! We may not be super powerful, but we can still take down the undead monsters. You couldn’t even handle them! I’m sure you don’t want people to know that your disciples had to rescue you, so you have to get stronger soon!”
As harsh as they might have sounded, Zoey and Floyd were only telling the truth.
They could still fight their way out despite being up against such formidable fighters, but Levi was entirely helpless.
Such was the difference in their abilities!
If Levi cared about his pride, he’d train as hard as possible and improve his abilities instead of relying on his disciples to pull him out of sticky situations.
No one in their right mind would be able to put up with that kind of humiliation!
To Zoey and the rest, that fear of getting humiliated again was the perfect motivation for Levi to start training.
Ultimately, nothing could be more embarrassing than having to be rescued by his disciples time and again!
Everyone gave contented smiles as they looked at Levi.
He had finally seen the light, which meant they had accomplished their mission.
“Since we have achieved our goal, we can’t let Levi act alone from now!” Zoey said.
“Huh? But how should we go about doing it, Zoey?” Kirin replied. “You can’t expect us to be circling Boss at all times, can you?”
Everyone had entered the indigenous forest with two goals in mind.
Since they had achieved one of the goals, the remaining goal would be to train as much as possible.
It was too good an opportunity to pass up, and they couldn’t possibly spend the rest of their time escorting Levi.
Zoey’s smile widened as if she had already anticipated that question. “Don’t worry! I’ve planned it out before we even got here!”
“What do you mean?”
“We’ll take turns! Everyone here will split into teams of three. Each team will get a turn to follow Levi for half a day, but when it isn’t your team’s turn, you’re free to go off and do whatever you like!”
Upon hearing that, everyone nodded in hearty agreement. “Understood!”
“No. I want to go alone!”
