Chapter 3524 Levi Was Intrigued
“Bravo! Everyone in the Glorian Order will have to greet me using ‘Mr. Xylas’ from now on. This is way better than the time when I was at the Ecclesiastic Order.”
Xylas laughed out loud as he spoke.
Bone Grandmaster nodded and started treating his knees.
His kneecaps were already shattered, but that was no big deal to Bone Grandmaster.
After Xylas recovered, Gloria started training him since she had made up her mind to do so.
She taught him the technique of the devourer.
Gloria had actually been modifying Forlevia’s technique for some time to make it a better suit for herself.
With that modification, it would fit a devourer better.
However, Gloria did not pass down everything to Xylas just in case he rebelled one day.
What she taught him was enough to elevate his skills to an extremely high level within a short period of time, but it would not be enough for Xylas to be on par with Gloria.
Gloria was apprehensive because of Xylas’ background. Although she was able to control him, he was still the only bloodline of two big deviant clans. Besides, he trained under Solocus.
In terms of ability and intellect, Xylas really had what it took for him to rise up against Gloria.
Gloria did not want to take the risk.
“I’ll give you a month. You need to be able to face Levi after a month.”
This was the goal Gloria set for Xylas.
After that, Gloria went on to assemble all the underground forces including the rogue cultivators and members of the assassin organization.
Many of them pledged allegiance to the Glorian Order.
It was also then that she started planning on taking down the Ecclesiastic Order and Yartran.
Her plans were way bigger than that.
She vouched to first take down these two forces.
What interested her more was the spiritual ley line these two forces depended on.
If she were able to devour these two spiritual ley lines, killing Levi would not be a problem at all.
“Levi Garrison, enjoy your life while you can. Things are about to get upended,” Gloria boasted with a haughty laugh.
Over at the Holy Guild, Levi was deeply engaged in thoughts as he cast his gaze afar.
Everyone else around him was still feeling frustrated about the lost opportunity that came so close.
They could not believe that chance slipped from between their fingers.
They had already caught Xylas, but still, he escaped.
Fury and devastation boiled in their blood, but there was nothing they could do.
Zoey and the rest were equally exasperated.
That was the last thing they expected to happen.
They wanted revenge, but that was exactly what they did not manage to do.
“We should’ve just killed him. We shouldn’t have kept him alive and tortured him. What’s the use of it now that he’s escaped?”
“I know right! We were so close!”
“Gosh! How does this even happen? This is driving me crazy!”
Everyone was lamenting the situation.
Before that, they were motivated because they had not found Xylas.
When they found him, they thought they could finally have their way with him, but no one foresaw that they would lose him.
They felt a ball of dissatisfaction blocking their chest, making them angrier as time passed.
“The sword almost touched him!”
“Yeah! And he was screaming for his life.”
As for Azure Dragon and the other four, they were the most dejected ones among everyone.
What just happened was a fatal strike for them.
The five of them stood there without moving a muscle because they were dumbfounded.
There were so ready to unleash all the negativity they had pent up, but now they had to swallow all their feelings back in.
This jeopardy was way worse than a physical injury.
It dealt a huge dent to their morale.
The fear in them grew stronger after the incident.
In fact, that added more fear in their heart.
That had heavily affected their spirit, and they felt emotionally scarred.
They stared blankly into the air, still unable to recover from the shock.
They had been trying to improve on their condition, but that misfortune crushed all their hard work.
They felt like killing themselves for missing the opportunity, and the same went for the Ecclesiastic Order.
They had vanquished the Cetus, but their heir was still roaming out there.
That was not something they would condone.
They almost wiped off the last of that clan, and victory was so close, and yet they did not attain it.
Just like that, with her plot, Gloria broke everyone’s morale and crippled them emotionally.
