Chapter 3836 The Dark Demon Was Shocked
“Bad news, Governor! The Dark Demon is approaching us!” At that moment, a panicked voice rang out.
Kazier’s face turned pale in shock. His subordinates had informed him that the Dark Demon was extremely skilled in combat, so he had no confidence in winning at all.
“Let’s attack together! We’ll kill him at any cost!” shouted Kazier, steeling himself for what was to come.
Invigorated again, the elites of the guard brigade charged at the Dark Demon.
From afar, one could see the city defense army and the guard brigade occupying the entire street, with some even perching on the roofs of the houses at the side.
The Dark Demon launched himself toward them while absorbing the powers of others as if he had just arisen from the depths of hell.
This created a strange, vicious cycle where the Dark Demon became even more powerful the more he fought while the city defense army and guard brigade lost confidence as the fight continued.
The strongest fighters dwindled in numbers as they almost got killed by the devourer.
“Argh!”
Screams of misery reverberated in the air. The street was initially crowded with soldiers, but the enemy had managed to kill their way through.
The scene of the soldiers collapsing was horrifying and everyone was frightened out of their wits.
Regret overwhelmed Kazier and the guard brigade. Over half of their subordinates had been injured or killed, and the number just kept rising.
“Mr. Garrison, I’ve offended you earlier. Please be forgiving and help us out here!” begged Kazier, sounding as though he was on the verge of tears.
“Please help us, Mr. Garrison. We’re sorry.”
“Mr. Garrison, if we let this drag on any further, Yannopolis will fall to the enemy!”
“Mr. Garrison, I’ll beg you on my knees.”
Many of them had fallen to their knees and even Kazier was bowing deeply.
Levi replied solemnly, “I’ve given you the chance earlier, but you didn’t treasure it. This isn’t my fault. No matter what you say, I’ll never intervene. You’re on your own!”
Sighs of despair filled the place.
“Argh!”
Once again, a shrill cry of pain pierced through the air.
Everyone glanced over and saw that the elites from the guard brigade, who had been guarding the inn, were all dead.
Fear instantly gripped their hearts when they saw the Dark Demon make his way toward them.
With the number of guards dwindling every second, they no longer had the courage to resist.
The Dark Demon was simply too powerful. The gap between their powers could not be so easily overcome just by having more people.
As more elites from the guard brigade collapsed, terror and hopelessness filled Kazier’s eyes.
“The guard brigade is doomed. Yannopolis is doomed. Everything’s over!” mumbled Kazier to himself.
However, at that moment, the Dark Demon caught a glimpse of Levi, who was standing at the back of the crowd. He froze for a moment before whirling around and fleeing.
He retreated so fast that he looked like an animal escaping pathetically after encountering a natural predator.
“What’s going on?”
Everyone was confused. They could not comprehend this unbelievable turn of events.
What did the Dark Demon, who’s usually so bloodthirsty and violent, see to make him so scared?
Even Cheriette was puzzled.
Her first guess was that the Dark Demon had sensed Levi’s terrifying powers. Upon realizing the vast difference in their powers, he fled to prevent himself from getting killed.
However, Cheriette soon cast that hypothesis aside.
After all, she knew Levi was deliberately suppressing his actual powers—even Quirina and Yunus could not detect the exact level of his cultivation.
Furthermore, given that the Dark Demon was obviously weaker than Quirina and Yunus, she reckoned it was impossible for him to know Levi’s true abilities.
Why then? It’s Levi’s first time in Kenfort, so the Dark Demon couldn’t have recognized him.
Unable to reach an answer, Cheriette directed her gaze to Levi.
