The Return of God of War [Completed] - Chapter 4001-4010
Chapter 4002 Challenging Fighters From All Sects
“We are the eight Titanium Warriors of Drakotigris Order!” Eight men then landed on the ground in front of everyone, each of them exuding a golden glow.
They were all dressed in robes and had their palms pressed against each other. Those around them had to shield their eyes a little as their bald heads reflected the sunlight really well.
“We, the elders of Holy Spirit Academy, shall participate in this fight as well.” A group of men with strange and inhuman appearances stepped forward. They exuded a strange aura and looked somewhat terrifying with their crimson eyes.
“Master, these Titanium Warriors from Drakotigris Order are trained in Titanium Art, a pure physique training technique. They say those who have reached the highest level in the art are able to achieve absolute invulnerability! As for Inkflame Court, they are trained in fire techniques and can manipulate any and all flames in the world. The leader over there is able to generate flames with different colors. The more colors in the flame, the more powerful it gets. Titanus Order is a creepy one. From what I’ve heard, they can harness the power of the universe to catch their opponents off guard. I don’t know much about the Holy Spirit Academy, but Battle Tiger Tribe members have spirit beast blood in them. The spirit beast blood will awaken when they reach a certain age, granting them a huge boost in combat ability. All I know about Divine Blade Sect is that they focus their training on swordsmanship. Apparently, their master has perfected his craft. We’re lucky he isn’t here today, or we could be in for a really bad time,” Larissa explained to Levi as they continued making their way forward.
Cheriette couldn’t help but feel a little envious of Larissa. As she didn’t know much about these things, she wasn’t able to provide any useful information in such situations.
“No worries. I’ll soon make them regret being born into this world,” Levi replied with a nonchalant chuckle.
He then charged forward with his left arm raised high into the air. The next thing they knew, Thunder Slaughterer had appeared in his hand.
Crackle!
A blindingly bright silver beam of light lit up the entire area as it struck the elders of Divine Blade Sect.
“Limitless Sword Array!” yelled the chief elder of Divine Blade Sect, prompting the others to channel the technique.
The sword energy then gathered and formed a terrifying net of swords which they launched in Levi’s direction.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sound of steel clashing against each other echoed throughout the area.
Suddenly, the net of swords was cut in half by the silver beam of light that continued surging toward the elders.
“Fall back!” shouted the chief elder of Divine Blade Sect as he sensed an unprecedented level of danger from the beam.
The other elders quickly stepped aside to avoid the incoming beam, but it was simply too fast. The beam managed to hit a few of the elders while they were in mid-air.
Spurt!
Blood came spraying from the bodies of those elders as they died on the spot.
Even so, the beam’s energy did not reduce in the slightest. It cut a deep line into the ground and killed countless enemy fighters.
Just like that, Levi had killed and wounded most of Divine Blade Sect’s members in a single strike.
“Don’t get cocky, you insolent robber! I’ll burn you to ashes!” yelled the chief elder of Inkflame Court.
The tri-colored flame in his palms increased in size and intensity as he rapidly channeled his technique.
In just a matter of seconds, it had turned into two gigantic wheels of fire.
The intense heat from the fiery wheels distorted the space around them as they hurtled toward Levi.
“Oh, you want to play with fire? Sure, two can play that game! I’ll defeat you with your own element!” Levi said with a sneer.
Roar!
A loud roar echoed throughout the sky above.
Before Levi could even respond, Thunder Qilin opened its mouth and unleashed a beam of fire in the enemy’s direction.
The beam of fire looked like something one would see in a film’s special effects.
Boom!
A deafening boom rang out as both attacks clashed against each other.
Chapter 4003 Physical Cultivator Fight
The next thing they knew, the beam of fire had engulfed the wheels of fire as it continued heading toward the chief elder of Inkflame Court. “Oh no!”
The look on the chief elder’s face changed as he instinctively tried to dodge the incoming attack. Nonetheless, Thunder Qilin’s beam of fire was so fast that it still hit him on his right arm.
“Argh!” The chief elder screamed at the top of his lungs as an intense pain surged through his body.
The heat from the beam of fire was so intense that his right arm instantly turned to ash, and the blood flowing out of the wound evaporated on the spot.
Thunder Qilin let out a roar and glanced at Levi as though it was proud of its performance. It then shifted its gaze back toward the chief elder, who happened to be staring at it.
As their gazes met, the chief elder could clearly see a look of disdain in Thunder Qilin’s eyes. “You b*stard!” he yelled angrily.
I’m the highly-respected chief elder of Inkflame Court, and yet, I’m being humiliated by a spirit beast? “I’ll kill you, you piece of—”
The chief elder was halfway through his sentence when his vision went dark, and he collapsed to the ground with a loud thud. Levi then finished him off with a slash from Dragon’s Grave.
“Be careful, everyone! That’s a King class spirit beast! Do not fight it head-on!” said one of the enemy fighters.
Thinking that Larissa and Cheriette were easier targets, the majority of the allied forces decided to focus their attacks on those two instead.
Of course, that was another big mistake that they made. Thanks to the help from the ultimate weapons, Larissa and Cheriette were ten times more powerful than usual.
Although the strongest fighters were somewhat capable of putting up a fight against the two, they didn’t last very long.
“Hey, Titanium Warriors of Drakotigris Order! You guys practice pure physique training, right?” Levi asked with a sly grin.
One of the Titanium Warriors replied solemnly, “That ultimate weapon of yours is far too powerful. I’m afraid my training will not do me any good here.”
“You know, you could just say that you want me to fight you empty-handed. There’s no need to waste time beating around the bush! Well, I suppose I could satisfy that request of yours and engage in hand-to-hand combat!” Levi said with a sneer as he transferred Dragon’s Grave over to his left hand.
He then channeled his technique and threw a powerful punch at that Titanium Warrior.
The Titanium Warrior was surprised by Levi’s decision to give up the advantage of his ultimate weapon.
“Ha! Not bad! Most people would choose to capitalize on their strengths and conceal their weaknesses. You, on the other hand, choose to give up your greatest source of strength! In that case, I shall give you a taste of my Titanium Body Technique!” he yelled as he hurled a punch at Levi in retaliation.
Boom!
The shockwave from their punches hit each other first before their fists collided.
Crack!
The loud sound of bones cracking rang out a few seconds after the impact.
The look on the Titanium Warrior’s face changed when he saw his right arm breaking apart up to the shoulder.
Spurt!
Blood sprayed into the air like a crimson mist as his right arm shattered completely.
“Aargh!”
The Titanium Warrior let out a blood-curdling scream from the intense pain and stared wide-eyed at Levi in disbelief.
What? Did he just break through my Titanium Body Technique with a single punch? Even a strike from an ultimate weapon would only leave a tiny crack! How was this robber able to wound me so badly with his bare hands?
Chapter 4004 Our Patience Is Running Out
“This is dangerous! Retreat!” The damage that Levi did to the Titanium Warrior had plunged him into utter despair, and escaping with his life was all he could think of at that point.
“It’s too late to run away now!” Levi shouted coldly as he threw another punch at the Titanium Warrior, turning him into a bloody mist in front of everyone.
“The amount of destructive power in his fists is terrifying!” “I can’t believe that robber is a physical cultivator too! It seems he’s a lot more powerful than us!” “We need to avenge our fallen chief! Everyone, attack together!”
The remaining Titanium Warriors charged at Levi at the same time, only to die one after another. The fact that Levi killed them without the use of his ultimate weapon made it all the more shocking for those who saw it.
As the fighters from the other sects started backing away, Levi and the other three pressed forward and slaughtered those in their path.
Sylvan and the members of Astre Lune Sect were all staring wide-eyed at the sight before them.
Once again, they found themselves stunned by Levi’s display of overwhelming strength. Cheriette and Larissa, too, managed to surprise them with their excellent performance.
The fact that those ultimate weapons are able to boost their power that much is proof that they were forged by the best blacksmith in existence!
“There’s no point in us staying here. We should head back to Lightspring and observe the situation!” Sylvan said.
Everyone agreed with his suggestion.
Sylvan was worried about Prime Company after losing contact with them, especially since headquarters had sent them.
“Tell Mr. Garrison that we’ll just head over to check on things and will return very soon,” Sylvan said before boarding a cloudship with a few of his trusted subordinates and heading over to Lightspring.
He left a huge number of his troops with Astre Lune Sect just in case their support would be required.
Upon arrival in Lightspring, they saw Sea of Stars Guild and Tenebrous Sky Division surrounding the eight hundred elite fighters of Prime Company.
“You came just in time, Sylvan. Do you know what the situation is like for Astre Lune Sect right now?”
“Was it Prime Association that helped defeat Blithe Lord and Arcadia?”
“You’d better answer us honestly, or we’ll crush you all beneath our heels!”
The members of Sea of Stars Guild and Tenebrous Sky Division bombarded him with questions.
“To be honest, there’s no point in you guys staying here. Mr. Garrison single-handedly defeated Blithe Lord and Arcadia. Prime Association never did anything to help out at all,” Sylvan replied with a wry smile.
Everyone was so shocked that they fell silent for a few seconds.
“That’s impossible! Do you take us for fools or something?”
“Blithe Lord and the vice sect leader of Arcadia are insanely powerful fighters! On top of that, they’ve also got the help of spirit beasts and Hundred Alchemical Gods Array! A mere robber couldn’t possibly stand a chance against those odds!”
“You’d better come clean with us, Sylvan! Our patience is running out!”
The members of the two sects refused to believe Sylvan’s words.
Since a majority of their forces had gone after Astre Lune Sect, they decided to hold their position and wait for a status report.
A few days soon went by, and they still hadn’t heard back from the other forces.
Meanwhile, some of Cordierite Association’s fighters were hiding in Lightspring.
They, too, were waiting for an update from the allied forces while maintaining contact with Albert.
Albert was growing increasingly anxious when he didn’t receive any status updates from the allied forces. He had a really bad feeling in his gut.
Right when Sea of Stars Guild and Tenebrous Sky Division were on the verge of breaking down mentally, they heard a loud hum coming from the sky. As they looked up, they saw a cloudship heading in their direction.
“That looks like Inkflame Court’s cloudship! They’re back!” someone shouted excitedly.
However, the members of both sects were petrified by what they saw next.
Chapter 4005 Killed Them All
Inkflame Court’s cloudship slowly landed in front of them, and a trio and a spirit beast emerged from it. “Those people aren’t from Inkflame Court! Who are they?”
“They have ultimate weapons in their hands! Is he the robber everyone has been talking about?” “What happened to the fighters from Inkflame Court?”
After a few more seconds of deathly silence, they glanced in the direction the cloudship came from. However, they did not see any sign of the other forces that went after Astre Lune Sect.
That was when it dawned upon them who the guy standing before them was. “M-Mr. Garrison?”
The highest-ranking member of Prime Association was the first to recognize him. Sylvan rushed over the moment he heard that, and he was just as shocked when he saw Levi.
No, this is not the time to ask him what happened! Sea of Stars Guild and Tenebrous Sky Division have been glaring daggers at Prime Association’s fighters throughout the past few days. They might strike at any given moment, so we need to stay focused!
The leader of Tenebrous Sky Division asked coldly, “Are you the robber?” Soon, everyone was staring disdainfully at Levi as they questioned him.
“Yup, that’s right!” Levi replied honestly with a nod. “Where are the men from Inkflame Court, Drakotigris Order, and Divine Blade Sect?” asked the leader of Tenebrous Sky Division.
Levi let out a chuckle as he said, “I killed them all. What, are you that eager to join them in death?”
“What?” Everyone gasped in shock and stared wide-eyed at him in disbelief. “An allied force comprising six sects is incredibly powerful! They should at least be able to escape unscathed, even if they somehow lose the battle! There’s no way they all ended up dead!”
“Yeah! This guy must be bluffing! I bet he ran here because he knew he couldn’t defeat them!”
“What do they think they can achieve with just the three of them?”
Thinking Levi was just lying about killing the other forces, they all burst out laughing on the spot.
As Sylvan had witnessed Levi’s power with his own eyes, he knew Levi wasn’t bluffing at all.
Those three were able to slaughter a huge portion of the allied forces in just a matter of minutes! I only came here because I knew we had nothing to worry about.
Despite knowing the truth, Levi’s statement still sent chills down the spines of Sylvan and his subordinates.
“The allied forces comprise the six most powerful sects! I can’t believe Levi killed them all in such a short amount of time!” Sylvan exclaimed.
Had he not witnessed Levi in action, he probably wouldn’t have believed him either.
“I don’t mind killing you guys too if that is what you all wish for.”
Despite Levi’s nonchalant tone of voice, the leader of Tenebrous Sky Division could clearly feel the murderous aura he exuded.
“You insolent fool! Did you really think Tenebrous Sky Division is a pushover?” he shouted furiously.
Thinking Levi was scared when he shook his head, the leader of Tenebrous Sky Division broke into a faint smile.
However, his smile was frozen in place when he heard what Levi said next.
“Oh, but my weapons can indeed topple your soldiers like dominoes!”
He even waved Dragon’s Grave and Thunder Slaughterer in the air with a disdainful smile on his face.
Infuriated, the members of Tenebrous Sky Division wanted nothing more than to kill Levi. “You got a death wish, you piece of sh*t?”
The leaders of Sea of Stars Guild and Tenebrous Sky Division, however, had solemn expressions on their faces. In fact, they were even contemplating retreating as they recognized the ultimate weapons in Levi’s hands.
Those are premium ultimate weapons that he’s wielding! A fight against him is bound to result in heavy casualties!
“You’ve killed seventeen of my Peak class fighters, so you must pay for it with your life!”
Chapter 4006 Talk It Out
Right as the two sect leaders were planning on retreating, an ethereal voice caught everyone’s attention. A white-haired old man then stepped forward and glared furiously at Levi.
“I am the chief elder of Cordierite Association. Today, I shall make you pay for what you’ve done!” the old man continued with a sharp look in his eyes.
The elders of Cordierite Association’s branch in Willowbank, whom Levi killed in Dragon’s Grave Valley, were his juniors.
As the chief elder was really close to them, he got furious when he found out about their deaths and requested permission to come to kill Levi himself.
“We have ten thousand men from Tenebrous Sky Division, a ton of fighters from Sea of Stars Guild, and elders of Cordierite Association whom I brought with me! There’s no reason for us to fear these people!” said the chief elder of Cordierite Association.
Those words were incredibly effective at influencing the members of Tenebrous Sky Division and Sea of Stars Guild. “Tenebrous Sky Division would rather die in battle than retreat like a coward!”
“We have a powerful military formation and excellent strategy, so killing him should be a piece of cake!” “Sea of Stars Guild will fight alongside Cordierite Association as well!”
Infuriated by Levi’s arrogant attitude, everyone decided to team up and take him down. “Get him!”
“Let’s attack together and kill him!” “Save those two women for me!” Right as they all drew their weapons on Levi, Thunder Qilin let out an enraged roar.
Roar! It was furious that they had ignored its existence. Levi nodded and said with a smile, “All right, then. Let’s do this!”
As Prime Company’s orders were to protect Levi at all costs, all eight hundred of its fighters held their ground as they exuded a terrifying aura.
The tension spiked as a huge battle was about to unfold. “Wait!” Sylvan shouted all of a sudden.
Having witnessed the power of Levi’s ultimate weapons, he knew a large-scale battle like this would end up leveling all of Lightspring.
“What are you doing?” the leader of Tenebrous Sky Division asked coldly.
“I think it’s best if we all talk this out instead. You guys have no idea what Mr. Garrison is capable of. He killed Blithe Lord by stabbing him once with that premium ultimate weapon of his. He also destroyed Arcadia’s ultimate weapon with it. We can discuss the compensation for the losses Cordierite Association has suffered. Why fight to the death while other enemy factions laugh at your stupidity? Even if we ignore how insanely powerful Mr. Garrison is on his own, Prime Association has also been ordered to defend him at all costs. That means you guys will also be going up against all eight hundred of Prime Company’s elite fighters. Are you sure you want to proceed with this?”
The chief elder of Cordierite Association, who had stubbornly insisted on killing Levi earlier, fell silent all of a sudden.
If what Sylvan said about Prime Company being ordered to defend the robber is true, then Cordierite Association will sustain heavy casualties even if we manage to defeat them. On top of that, we still have to deal with a very powerful robber. If Cordierite Association is weakened, our enemies would surely attack us and take over our sect! Besides, the robber was able to defeat Blithe Lord and Arcadia with the help of Prime Association’s fighters. Now that we have to deal with another eight hundred fighters from Prime Company, I’m starting to doubt our chances of victory.
Noticing that the fighters from Tenebrous Sky Division and Sea of Stars Guild were starting to hesitate, Sylvan turned toward Levi and said, “Mr. Garrison, would you be so kind as to not fight them here in Lightspring?”
His tone was polite and respectful as he knew Levi was the one who held all the cards here.
Lightspring is bound to be stained red if Mr. Garrison decides to fight them
Chapter 4007 To Leave No Loose Ends
Levi knew about Sylvan’s worries. Dragon’s Grave and Thunder Slaughterer were powerful. If they were to start fighting, Lightspring was bound to be decimated.
Furthermore, Lightspring was the base of Prime Association and Sylvan’s everything. Naturally, the man did not wish to see it destroyed. “All right, in that case, I won’t insist on this fight, Mr. Webber,” Levi said after a moment of silence.
Even though Prime Association had not helped much in the battle, he still owed them a favor for being on his side from the beginning.
Moreover, Prime Association would be a good choice for a partnership after Levi stabilized his position in Kenfort. Hence, Levi chose to agree with Sylvan’s request.
After receiving the answer he hoped for, Sylvan sighed in relief. “What do the rest of you think?” Sylvan turned to look at the people of Cordierite Association.
The expression of Cordierite Association’s chief elder was shifting from gloomy to ruminative. It was clear that he was still conflicted about what choice he should make.
He wanted to fight, but he had received no response from the people in charge of Inkflame Court, Drakotigris Order, and the other sects.
Could it be that those forces have been decimated?
The moment that thought appeared in the chief elder’s head, he inhaled sharply.
“Since you’re the one asking for the favor, Mr. Webber, I’ll do as you say for now. Just know that we won’t let this matter go easily. Men, we’re leaving now,” the chief elder of Cordierite Association uttered.
After mulling over the matter, he had decided to retreat for now. Then, he quickly sent his men to Astre Lune Sect’s location to find out more about the situation.
If the other forces were indeed annihilated, he would have to think of another way to deal with the situation. Rashly starting a fight might leave him with a massive loss.
“We’re leaving!”
Once the order was out of the chief elder’s mouth, the tripartite alliance retreated out of Lightspring.
The tension in the atmosphere eased up immediately. Even the eight hundred fighters of Prime Company let out a sigh of relief.
They did not know what Levi’s cultivation level was, but they were up against ten thousand members of the Tenebrous Sky Division. Even if they won the fight, they would be losing many of their men.
Furthermore, fighters of the Sea of Stars Guild and Cordierite Association’s headquarters were going to be in the battle as well.
“This way, please, Mr. Garrison. Let us discuss our next move,” Sylvan said and gestured.
Levi and the others walked into the conference hall.
After everyone took their seats, Sylvan asked for his men to serve tea.
A while of small talk later, he asked, “Mr. Garrison, did you really kill all the members of Cordierite Association’s allied forces that went to attack you?”
“Most of them. The leaders have all been killed, and the ones who escaped are just small fries,” Levi replied nonchalantly.
Immediately, the people in the conference hall gasped.
Even the fighters of Prime Company were stunned. They never thought Levi would be that powerful.
“Any one of the elites from the six major sects, including Inkflame Court, Divine Blade Sect, and Drakotigris Order, would be more than enough to destroy one of the large sects. Yet, the alliance of the six major sects was annihilated. This is something I would have never imagined!”
“There were so many other affiliated forces and mercenary organizations who had taken on the bounty in the alliance too! This is unbelievable.”
The crowd could not help but be stunned.
Although Sylvan had witnessed Levi killing Blithe Lord and the others, he was still astonished to hear those words from Levi.
He could not believe Levi really killed the members of those powerful sects.
“It looks like you’re far more terrifying than I imagined!” Sylvan could not help but comment. “Mr. Garrison, what plans do you have after this?”
Since Prime Association had chosen to be on Levi’s side, Levi’s plans would directly affect the association’s fate.
Levi then gloomily said, “Take me to Willowbank. I’m going to make sure there are no loose ends left.”
Chapter 4008 Do You Think I Am Joking
Levi’s words came like a bolt from the blue, and the people present gasped audibly. In fact, for a moment, they wondered if they were hearing things.
Naturally, there were many in the hall who thought that Levi had lost his mind. “What gutsy words from this guy! Did he just say that he’s going to Willowbank by himself?”
“That’s Cordierite Association’s second largest chapter’s base! How can one man be able to do anything to a place that has been around for over a hundred years?”
“I’d say the ignorant is fearless. The alliance, in comparison to Willowbank, is nothing! Going there to create a ruckus is no different from having a death wish.”
Most of those words were spoken by fighters of Prime Company. Even Sylvan and some others who had witnessed Levi’s prowess firsthand were frightened out of their wits by his declaration.
“Mr. Garrison, you’re not joking with us, are you?” Sylvan hoarsely asked. Levi returned the question by saying, “Do you think I’m joking with you?” “I…”
Sylvan was at a loss for words, for he could sense that Levi was getting angry. Nevertheless, he felt that he should list out the pros and cons of Levi’s plan, even if it meant angering Levi.
“Mr. Garrison, I’m afraid you don’t know about this, but Willowbank is a place that Cordierite Association has been managing for over a hundred years. The connections between the sects and forces within the city are complicated, and entering the place is as dangerous as entering a bear’s cave. The sects who targeted Astre Lune Sect previously are nothing but ants in comparison with the fighters in Willowbank. Most importantly, Willowbank has an ancient defensive formation that has been strengthened by countless fighters of the Cordierite Association over time. Similarly, Sea of Stars is a heavily fortified region. Sea of Stars Guild has set up numerous defensive and offensive formations there with the help of Sea of Stars’ water element.”
Sylvan told Levi everything he knew in an attempt to let Levi realize how grave the situation was.
Regardless of how powerful Levi was, Willowbank was the second chapter of Cordierite Association.
Furthermore, the fighters of the Cordierite Association’s headquarters could head there for backup at any time. Going to Willowbank by himself would spell nothing but ill fortune—Levi might even lose his life there.
Of course, Sylvan also knew that Cordierite Association was not going to let the matter go so easily.
If Levi were to attack Willowbank, that would be the same as adding fuel to the fire. Cordierite Association would certainly take revenge on them with even more vigor.
Even if Levi could leave the battle unscathed, he would still make the sects in Willowbank his enemies.
By then, it would no longer just be a bounty—it would be a scene of various sects seeking vendetta against Levi. If that were to happen, there would be no way to turn back anymore.
Hence, Sylvan felt it would be better for Prime Association to play the mediator. Even if they had to pay a hefty sum to appease Cordierite Association, it was better than letting the association’s hatred fester.
“How can I make sure that they would not take revenge unless they’re all dead? I can’t always stay in Astre Lune Sect to protect it,” Levi uttered.
Sylvan understood where Levi was coming from; Levi simply did not want to worry about the matter anymore.
“Mr. Garrison, why don’t you wait for a few more days? The people from Prime Association’s headquarters will be here soon. We’ll settle on a plan that everyone agrees on. Is that fine by you?” Sylvan tentatively asked.
A period of silence later, Levi inclined his head and answered, “All right, but if we can’t settle on a good plan, I’ll still go ahead with my plan to decimate Willowbank.”
Hearing that, Sylvan let out a sigh of relief. He was genuinely worried that Levi would be adamant about going to Willowbank.
“By the way, Mr. Garrison, I’ve already looked into the matter you asked me to check on. The whistleblower is the new Empyrean of Eclipse. Previously, she had been hiding in Cordierite Association’s temporary base where three elders from Cordierite Association’s headquarters are based,” Sylvan said, changing the topic.
In the meantime, in Cordierite Association’s temporary base outside of Lightspring, Gloria was pacing back and forth worriedly. She had already received news about the battle outside Astre Lune Sect’s headquarters, like how the robber killed Blithe Lord in one strike and how he wiped out Arcadia with a beast.
Chapter 4009 Look Before You Leap
Furthermore, the robber had also butchered almost everyone in the alliance. The string of bad news only served to make Gloria even more frustrated. “What a bunch of useless fools! Is this all Cordierite Association is capable of?” Gloria cursed out loud.
She thought that she would be able to use Cordierite Association to get rid of the robber, but as it turned out, the robber could still wipe out that powerful alliance.
“The robber won’t come to settle the score with me, right?” Every time Gloria thought about that, she became frustrated. She thought about going into hiding, but it seemed like it would not be a wise choice to hide within Eclipse.
The arrow the robber had fired from afar back then severely wounded many members of Eclipse. If they were targeted by someone with an ultimate weapon again, it was likely that she might die in the assault.
Therefore, Gloria decided that staying in Cordierite Association’s temporary base was safer, especially since there were three elders from Cordierite Association’s headquarters at the base.
Even the robber would have to give them some respect, right? Gloria mused. After all, Cordierite Association was a superpower in Kenfort. The people they had sent out were not even one-tenth of its overall power.
They’re mighty here. I’m sure the robber wouldn’t dare to cross them, either.
Just as that thought popped into her head, a Cordierite Association fighter walked over to her.
“Gloria, Elder Nister is asking for you,” the Cordierite Association fighter said expressionlessly.
Gloria did not dare to ask any more questions, for the three black-robed elders were much more powerful than her—there were other fighters she was no match for, too.
Keeping a low profile was the best way for her to ensure her safety.
Gloria then followed the fighter to the conference hall. When she arrived, she found out that many fighters from various sects had gathered there.
“Is there something I can help you with, Elder Nister?” Gloria politely queried.
Initially, Nister wanted to ask for more details about the battle between the robber and the fighters of Eclipse, but he suddenly sensed something powerful rapidly coming close to them.
“Someone’s coming! Prepare for battle!” Nister immediately ordered.
Gloria’s heart leaped into her throat. Her first thought was that the robber had come, and all the colors drained from her face at that.
Then, Nister, Krow, and Benoit dashed out of the conference hall. The others quickly followed suit and pulled out their weapons before grimly looking outside.
Thump!
A deafening sound thundered in the air, and in the next second, a figure descended from the sky.
Nister recognized the figure right away, and he icily questioned, “Why are you here?”
Sylvan’s mediation earlier had already irritated Nister.
However, he held himself back because he did not know how powerful Levi was.
At the moment, he could only think that Levi was crossing the line by coming here.
Chuckling, Levi said, “I’m here for someone.”
“Who?” Nister snapped impatiently.
Instead of answering him, Levi scanned the area and soon discovered Gloria.
As he pointed at Gloria, who was hiding in the crowd, he smirked and said, “Her.”
Nister and the others were quick to realize what was going on. After all, Gloria was the one who had revealed the robber’s whereabouts.
Is he planning to settle the score with her?
“It’s true that Gloria told others about your location, but don’t you dare cross the line. Remember that you’re on our territory.” Nister scoffed, “It’s best for you to look before you leap!”
“You’re right!” Levi uttered solemnly.
At that, Nister thought that Levi was stunned by his aggression. Right as he was about to spit out a few vicious words to salvage his reputation, Levi mercilessly cut him off by saying with a smile, “I looked, and it turns out it’s just you, so I’m going to leap.”
Hearing that, Nister was forced to swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue, and he scrunched up his face.
“Don’t cross the line. This is no place for you to do as you plea—”
Chapter 4010 A Hundred Slaps For Gloria
Before one of Cordierite Association’s fighters could finish his sentence, a flash appeared before his eyes. Then, a wave of sword energy rushed over to the fighter, who could not dodge it by the time he realized it.
Whoosh! Blood spurted, and the fighter from Cordierite Association’s headquarters fell to the ground, dead. “What a chatterbox,” Levi uttered in annoyance.
“If you can’t control your mouths, I’ll send you to your deaths right away,” were Levi’s icy words that boomed in everyone’s ears and sent chills down their spines.
Nister and the rest were startled. They never thought that Levi would dare to kill someone on their territory.
This is outrageous! But the robber does have the right to be this arrogant. I might not have been able to avoid the earlier attack perfectly, either.
That was a thought shared by the fighters in the area, and they were starting to realize the danger they were in.
Furthermore, they had just heard about the might of Levi’s premium ultimate weapons recently, and none were too interested in becoming the lab rats for his weapons.
“Gloria, you’d better step forward yourself. If you wait for me to get you, you’ll see no mercy from me,” Levi demanded.
Gloria shook like a leaf, and she was as pale as paper. Nonetheless, she did not dare to go against Levi’s words.
She could acutely sense the murderous intent in the last part of his words.
Gloria turned to give pleading looks at the fighters of Cordierite Association, but they all moved aside to open up a path, exposing her to Levi.
Despite the fury burning brightly in them, none of the fighters dared to cross Levi for fear of ending up dead.
Left without a choice, Gloria steeled herself and trudged forward as if her legs were filled with lead.
She did not know what awaited her next. It could be death, or it could be a lifetime of hell.
The earlier tragic death of the fighter was still fresh in her mind, and Gloria was terrified that she would end up like him.
The dozens of meters toward Levi felt as though Gloria had trekked through half of the world.
“Hurry up. You’re wasting my time,” Levi urged.
Tears almost escaped Gloria’s eyes, and she turned to Nister and the others again. Alas, they all turned away, clearly not intending to help her out.
Finally, after fifteen minutes, Gloria came to a stop before Levi.
For some reason, she felt a sense of familiarity when she looked at the ordinary-looking robber.
“Since you can’t control your mouth, you’ll have to pay the price for it. I’m here today to collect the interest.”
Right as those words went past Levi’s lips, Gloria noticed a vague figure of a palm rushing toward her.
Instinctively, she tried to dodge it, but her legs felt like they were being held down. Moving even an inch was impossible.
Smack!
Levi slapped Gloria’s right cheek.
A bloody handprint manifested instantly, and her cheek swelled.
“The asymmetry is bothering me.”
Right as that echoed in the air, Gloria felt a hot sting on her left cheek.
Smack!
Levi’s control over his slap had ensured that the swelling of both cheeks was almost the same.
“You don’t look like you want to give up yet. Well, then, I’ll keep slapping you!”
Smack! Smack!
“Still glaring at me?”
Smack! Smack! Smack!
Levi slapped Gloria a hundred times continuously until the skin on her cheeks was about to peel.
Blood kept spilling out from the corner of her mouth, and she looked miserable.
After what seemed like forever, Gloria saw stars in front of her as the world spun around her. Her face felt numb, too.
“Get lost now.”
Levi finally stopped slapping Gloria. He turned to the others of Cordierite Association and said, “Feel free to step forward if you’re dissatisfied with this.”
Silence took over the room. Everyone kept their mouths zipped in fear of inciting Levi’s wrath.
