Chapter 2396 Best Medicine
The divine brigadier looked at him gleefully, waiting for Levi’s answer. However, Levi was about to explode in fury. Is he really that dumb, or is he just playing dumb? Is he doing this on purpose?
Does he even get what I’m saying? Levi was truly enraged now after the divine brigadier crossed the final line.
The divine brigadier could feel the pressure and murderous intent coming from Levi, and he panicked.
He tried to explain, but Levi spared him no such mercy and sent him flying with a single punch.
The divine brigadier coughed up blood and toppled over from the enormous pressure Levi was emitting. His knees started paving their way into the soil, and he looked worse for wear.
If he hadn’t set up the air wall, half of The Cardinal Hall would have been destroyed just from the impact of that punch. But there was no time to worry about that. At that moment, the divine brigadier could feel all his organs exploding into little pieces, and cracks were showing up on his body.
He looked like he’d explode into tiny pieces at any given moment. It was the first time he felt such agony, and the pain was killing him. He could taste the scent of death in the air, and the Grim Reaper was dawning on him.
The divine brigadier was horrified. He knew he made a grave mistake, and that forced Levi into a corner. But just when he was about to explode, Levi lifted the pressure off him.
“You’re off the hook this time, but only because you’ve served Erudia well. Pull this off again and I will kill you. Don’t worry about The Cardinal Hall. I can take your place anytime I want to,” Levi warned him and left the divine brigadier to his fate.
The divine brigadier plopped back down on the ground. That single punch from Levi almost killed him. However, he was lucky he got off severely injured, though he was still a hair’s breadth away from death.
That punch taught him something. Never say anything that will get on his bad side, or he will really kill me.
If anyone saw him in this state, he’d feel embarrassed for life. Who would have imagined ‘the strongest man’ would be beaten until he was a hair’s breadth away from death?
Left with no choice, he whipped out that intricate wooden box again. When he came back, there were three pills in the box. They were the holy pills created by the collective effort of The Cardinal Hall, Eragon, and the greatest doctors in Erudia.
The pills’ effect was simple—healing a fighter. They can heal even the most severe wounds. As long as the fighter was alive, they could return to their top condition just with the pill. In other words, the pills could raise a fighter’s power to their maximum.
It would work even on a powerful fighter like the divine brigadier. They could raise his power to a level that was higher than his maximum.
However, holy pills were rare. They required extremely rare ingredients to be made, and the method to create it was harsh. Three was the best they could do.
The pills should only be used to save someone in immediate danger, and also to keep The Cardinal Hall’s future safe.
One of the pills should have been given to Forlevia, while the rest was reserved for the divine brigadier.
It had been decades since the divine brigadier received the pills, but he never used them. Before he came back, he thought he would never have to use the pills. After all, they went through eight divine brigadiers, and they never came across any situations that demanded them to use the pills.
And he would have been right, but the problem was, he was already using the second pill not long after he made his return thanks to Levi. If he did things according to tradition, he’d have to give the remaining pill to Forlevia, and that meant he would be left with no holy pills.
He would have nothing to give to the next divine brigadier. Of course, The Cardinal Hall and Eragon wouldn’t say anything about it if he had a legit reason to use the pills, but he couldn’t tell them that he was using it so he wouldn’t get embarrassed.
If he told them the truth, both he and The Cardinal Hall would be humiliated. But he had no choice. He had to forge ahead and settle one problem at a point.
Once he took the pill, he felt its power coursing through his body, healing his broken meridians and organs. All the cracks on his body were closing up at a blistering pace as well.
