Chapter 2407 Struck By Fear
At that moment, all those from the Divine Leaderboard who were defeated were gathered at Levi’s manor.
They were laying the blame on him.
“Levi, have you seen what you have done? The consequences are playing out right in front of you!”
“Erudia has been humiliated and everyone feels ashamed!”
“All its champions on the Divine Leaderboard have been wiped out. There’s no one left to stop them now. Today marks the darkest moment in Erudia’s history!”
Even Edmund and his men had hurried over.
“Levi, do you now admit that this is your fault? If you hadn’t stopped us by saying it was a fake, the Iron Golem Technique wouldn’t have fallen into the hands of others. Now, outsiders are using it to trash us and humiliate Erudia. They are trampling on our pride and the martial arts of Erudia!
“Don’t forget that the Iron Golem Technique belonged to Erudia. We were the ones who were supposed to wield it. But now, it’s being used by our enemies to kill us!”
Everyone continued to criticize Levi.
They vented the anger, frustration, and shame they felt from their defeat onto him.
Although the matter was indeed Levi’s fault due to his erroneous judgment, the blame shouldn’t solely rest on him.
If they were powerful enough, none of this would have happened.
The crux of the matter was their own incompetence.
And yet, they even dared to complain and vent their frustrations on Levi.
All of a sudden, Levi smiled.
It’s not a bad idea for all of them to know their place. Or else, they may continue to assume that they are invincible. All this while, they have gloated incessantly about their ranks to the extent of being obsessed with themselves. But after being defeated, they seemed to have known their place. Their rank on the Divine Leaderboard didn’t seem to make a difference in the face of the Iron Golem Technique. Also, haven’t they constantly extolled the virtues of modern era techniques? But now, their techniques have proven to be useless against the Iron Golem Technique, which is an ancient one to begin with.
Consequently, Levi felt that their defeat was a valuable reminder for them to stay humble.
However, there was no way Edmund and Donald could accept the humiliation of being thrashed.
Despite Edmund’s defeat, The Cardinal Hall still didn’t interfere. All they did was swallow the shame.
However, Donald couldn’t bear being ridiculed.
Hence, he had ordered the ancient Garrison clan to provide reinforcements.
As for the rest, their situation was the same as Edmund’s. All they could do was swallow their pride without any chance of revenge.
“Levi, you have to take responsibility for what is going on right now. Even your death isn’t enough to quell the anger of the masses!” the crowd clamored.
“What if I kill them both?” Levi asked with a smile.
“Kill them both?”
Everyone laughed.
After all, they had personally experienced how powerful Kuroki and his disciple were.
If the Dark Emperor, who was top of the Divine Leaderboard, and Divine Brigadier didn’t show up, no one else could do anything against these two foes.
Even the second and third-ranked warriors of the Divine Leaderboard failed to stop them both. And now, Levi proclaims that he will kill them? What a joke!
“Oh no! Kuroki has issued Ms. Birmingham a challenge and is heading here right now!” someone reported all of a sudden.
“What? Kuroki is coming?”
“Quick! Run!”
“Let’s hurry! We cannot bear to see him again!”
When the ones who were defeated heard about Kuroki’s arrival, they began scurrying away like rats that had seen a cat.
They couldn’t bring themselves to stay a moment longer, as they didn’t have the guts to face Kuroki again.
After all, their defeat had traumatized them so badly that they were living in fear and couldn’t raise their heads up high anymore.
That was the fear that Kuroki had beaten into them.
The terror he inflicted upon them was seared into their soul.
