Chapter 1721
Although those affiliated with Eragon had contributed to the victory of the war, there was no denying that Levi deserved the most praise because he had dealt with most of their enemies by the time Eragon appeared.
In addition, Levi has broken Deicide into pieces and depleted the energy stored in the energizer, including the upgraded one, to ensure the safety of the others.
Otherwise, Deicide could easily turn things around even with the help of those affiliated with Eragon.
In short, Levi was the one who had led Eludian to success. Therefore, they wished he could come out alive.
They were determined to obtain the remains of the honorable man even if he had died during the fight.
As they continued to search high and low for his remains, their efforts were unsuccessful as there were no people around.
“Master is no more! I saw it annihilated in front of me!”
“Deicide is a terrible weapon! I can't believe it has the ability to annihilate a human in a matter of seconds!”
Although Floyd and the others were unwilling to accept the truth, there was not much they could do.
“We just need to pray that God shows mercy to Erudia and show us the way back!”
As they began to pray in silence, soldiers began firing shots in an attempt to pay homage to the venerable Levi Garrison.
Meanwhile, Jared was highly regarded as an esteemed member of the nation as soon as he went to Zarain.
Bruce agreed to the terms that Jared had listed, including honoring the treaty to appoint him king of the nation.
Zarain ruled many countries under the concept of colonialism. Bruce managed to persuade others to appoint Jared to be king of one of the largest countries under their rule.
The coronation ceremony will be held within seven days. Although Jared failed to win against his enemy, he had made a name for himself.
In other words, he was one of the most sought-after talents. Many celebrities have requested an audience with her and volunteered to be her lover.
In addition, many conglomerates offered him wealth only to obtain the almighty Deicide he possessed.
Jared became famous on the night when he was a nobody a few days ago.
“At the very least, I deserve this for taking out Levi! I can't wait to share the news with Zoey!” Jared smiled because he was proud of himself.
Compared to Jared, Bruce and his entourage, who had tried hard to prepare everything beforehand, were annoyed that their efforts had not worked.
In addition, his brother almost died because of their overly ambitious goals.
Bruce was annoyed whenever the pitiful Byron appeared in front of him.
Byron mentioned, “I'm glad Levi is dead! Someone finally avenged me!”
He was well aware it was an impossible mission for him to take revenge when he learned of Levi's true strength.
They're glad Jared took Deicide with him to turn things around.
"He's right! In the end, it was still considered a victory for us because Levi had been killed! He is no longer a threat!”
Bruce muttered to himself with a puzzled look, “Where did the reinforcements come from? Who are these mysterious figures?”
As Byron thought Levi might pull the rope behind the screen, he felt a chill running down his back.
He was absolutely horrified by the things Levi was capable of since he experienced them firsthand. That was precisely the reason he had always been intimidated by Levi's presence ever since he was young.
Byron has a premonition that Levi is not dead yet and thinks he can hear Levi warning him not to let his guard down as he will soon return for revenge.
Chapter 1722
Byron felt increasingly uncomfortable and thought Levi was watching him. He felt as if Levi would appear in Zarain to immediately take him away.
…
With that, Byron told his brother about his worries.
Unhappy, Bruce reprimands, “I'm sure there's something wrong with your brain! I will repeat it for the last time—Levi has died in front of thousands of people!”
To eliminate his brother's trauma, Bruce enlists the help of countless psychologists and has Byron undergo several counseling sessions.
Jared, who has garnered the attention of people from all over the world, has a fair concern because he has betrayed his country for personal gain.
It is only a matter of time until he is detained to bear the consequences of his crimes.
When Jared heard Byron, his thoughts floated everywhere because he had a bad feeling about the things that were waiting for him.
Similarly, when he shares his concerns with Bruce, Bruce urges him to calm down as he is already a citizen of Zarain.
To be precise, Jared only stayed a few days to become king in another country. Because of this, Bruce convinces Jared that no one can touch him in Zarain.
He's right! Why am I afraid of these baseless rumors? No one can catch me when I'm in Zarain!
After all, no one dared to try anything rash in Zarain! There's no way anyone else can get me and Byron!
If there was a safe place from Levi, Zarain was definitely one of the many! I need to stop panicking because of something trivial!
As much as Eludian was happy they made it out alive, they had to deal with the chaos after the war.
Meanwhile, Floyd and his entourage do not give up on finding Levi.
“Although we have defeated our enemies, many traitors, including Jared, have fled the country after defeating his compatriot! I can't believe he's on the run to Zarain! Besides, there's Bruce and Byron! Bruce is one of the masterminds of Ruling Union! We can't confirm their identities, but we believe they are also hiding in Zarain!”
A few seconds later, he added, “There is also a Triple Group from Keerea! It is they who provide financial support to execute the plan! Also, the people from Shield and Apocalypse were also involved!”
Dragonite continued to name Erudia's enemies and said, "Maybe there's not much we can do to defeat them now, but we'll let them taste their medicine in the future."
The people of Erudia knew that they could not forget the humiliation their enemies had inflicted.
“The martial artists as well as those criminals, who did not appear during the war, are the enemies of the nation! We need to get them out as soon as there's a chance in the future! ”
They started gathering information on the criminals affiliated with Ruling Union.
“Mmm, as long as those affiliated with Eragon are around, the villains will not be a match for them! However, there is not much we can do to get our revenge against Jared and Bruce because they are hiding in Zarain! What do we do?"
“We have to leave them alone for now! I'm sure the opportunity to take revenge on innocent people will appear in the near future!”
“Jared will ascend the throne in seven days! I fear it will be another mission impossible!”
The party engaged in heated discussions and fell into a vicious cycle of despair.
Suddenly, a voice in Baykeep announced with all his might, “I will definitely throw Byron behind bars and bring Jared back to public execution to atone for his sins! there's no way I'm letting them run away from me!”
That man was none other than Levi.
Chapter 1723
“We need to avenge our colleagues from The Calamity as well as those who have sacrificed themselves for a greater cause!”
Levi appeared with a sword made from an iron meteorite once possessed by the Northern Sky Ruler.
It was called the Northern Excalibur, and it was no ordinary sword. It was a symbol of the determination of their comrades to protect the nation.
Levi is not stupid—she has long been preparing to escape the scene since she was well aware of Deicide's destruction.
Even though he was ready to sacrifice himself for a greater cause, he had no intention of sustaining a meaningless blow as it was one of his principles to keep himself alive at all costs.
He had always shared principles with his comrades ever since he was appointed commander.
Otherwise, there was no one they could defend if they were no longer around to maintain the safety of defenseless civilians.
Therefore, Levi had no intention of refraining from Deicide's attack because he might be injured but not die because his body was stronger than an ordinary person after going through training with his mentor.
It turned out that he had withstood a seemingly serious blow in an attempt to figure out the sturdiness of his body.
He had achieved his goal and found Deicide could severely hurt him, but it was unable to end his life.
Levi plays along with those who hide in the dark as soon as he learns of their whereabouts. He had been playing pretend only to lure those who were hiding to join the battle.
He was shocked to learn that Eragon had long been preparing for the upcoming battle.
Unfortunately, he could not confirm whether they were friends or enemies. Therefore, he took extreme countermeasures to determine Eragon's intentions.
That was precisely the reason Levi caused others to misperceive that he was dead in the middle of an intense fight.
This might be an impossible mission for others, but it was nothing more than a piece of cake for Levi since his mentor had taught him the Shadow Clone skill.
He had long since picked up the right method to produce clones in a matter of seconds. Thus, he could easily fool others with his clone for having received blows in front of others, including Eragon members.
With that being said, Levi was just a beginner. Therefore, he could only produce one clone at a time because he thought it would be unwise to master such a skill meant to deceive others.
However, he changed his mind and thought it was equally important to polish his skills to produce several clones at once in an emergency.
His mentor told him that experts could easily produce over a hundred clones at once. Levi wondered if his mentor could do the same.
Instead of answering his question, his mentor pointed out his index finger. Levi did not care about it during his conversation with his mentor.
After much deliberation, he felt a chill running down his back when he thought his mentor might be able to produce over a hundred clones.
It was then that he thought his mentor might be a demigod or something because no ordinary human was capable of such an impossible feat.
Levi finally went to Baykeep with Excalibur North. He was just not far from Zarain and could barely contain his anger when he learned Jared would soon ascend the throne.
“There's no way I'll let you off the hook, Jared! Also, I got back traitor Zarain for the misery they brought us! ”
Until then, none of the Zaraines were aware of the things that were waiting for them because they did not know Levi was on his way to the country.
Levi, who had gone there without his comrades, was there to assert dominance over the people of Zarain and prove everyone wrong when they mentioned Zarain as impenetrable.
I will show them that there is nothing great about Zarain and defeat them with my sword and nothing else!
Chapter 1724
Many people have left the country and surrendered their citizenship during the war.
Officials of Zarain, Raysonia, and Keerea have welcomed Erudia's talent for migrating to their countries.
According to the latest tabulation, Zarain had received a total of five hundred and seventy thousand people while Raysonia and Keerea had each received a total of four hundred and twenty thousand, and three hundred and thirty thousand people.
Professionals were included on the list, but those sneaking into the country were not on record.
In other words, there was more than they could imagine.
Nonetheless, it is a great effort to get rid of unfaithful people because they do not value anything above their personal gain.
To the traitors' surprise, the Erudians managed to defend themselves from the enemies of the state.
Thus, those who escaped ended up in an awkward situation as they were unable to decide whether they should return to Erudia.
To be honest, the only reason they had escaped from Erudia was for their safety. Not because they can live a better life abroad.
In fact, they may not have done well abroad as they have spent most of their lives in Erudia.
Not many of them could get the responsible people from Zarain to meet the requirements they registered because they were not as capable as Jared.
The majority of them find they have imagined things as well as discovering the fact that it is impossible to live an easy life abroad.
Those from abroad consider these migrants to be inferior to them and show mercy to them simply because of their wealth, talent, and resources.
People with a variety of talents and resources can still sustain their daily lives, but most of them are having a hard time.
They know it's only a matter of time until strangers make up their minds to get rid of them when they can't be of much use.
Although none of them talked about it, they were well aware of the things that were waiting for them and shared the same thoughts, including the successors of the Lopez and Black families, he said, who had long fled to Zarain.
Those from Zarain have utilized their limited resources in various aspects. Although it was only for a short while, their wealth had been reduced by more than thirty percent.
The people who ran away from the family were not very talented. They could not even defend themselves, let alone the nation.
Their families were the only reason they could make a name out of themselves. In short, they were just nobody without the support of their family from Wildefield.
They eventually learned that they were in a bad situation soon after the war because it was only a matter of time until the exhaustion of their limited resources.
They can't get help from their families anymore. Therefore, Logan, Shaun, and Henry gather to discuss their next best course of action.
Meanwhile, Jennie and Melanie, who are always looking forward to living abroad, insist that they have no intention of leaving. In fact, they would not mind spending the rest of their lives there if possible.
Similarly, Shaun and Logan have the same ideas and thoughts that they have led a great life in Zarain.
“In the next four to five years, we will not encounter any problems as we are able to maintain our lifestyle. However, what will we do five years later?” Fabian, who was the only one who was calm and composed, asked the others in the room.
“A-aku—”
When they heard it, they fell silent because they realized that they could not rely on the support of others forever.
"Shall we return to Erudia?" ask Henry.
"No! It's a shame to go back when everyone considers us traitors to the nation! I'm afraid our seniors won't let us back because they have the same thoughts! Also, why do we return to Erudia when we have the best time of life in Zarain?”
"I have an idea" Henry suggested because everyone was against the idea of going back.
"Whatis that? Stop rambling and let us know!”
His other friends looked at him in anticipation of a grand plan.
Chapter 1725
“We will just ask our family to support us and enjoy our life here! I'm pretty sure they won't leave us alone when we need them!”
"You're right! I think they just reluctantly admit that they still care about us!”
“Although we really upset them, I'm pretty sure they won't ignore us when we ask for their help!”
"He's right! If anything happens to us, I'm sure they'll rush to save us without a second thought!”
The party was relieved because it was written all over their faces.
They are happy to consider themselves superior to those of their home country and continue to enjoy the best time of their lives in Zarain.
Most importantly, they were not at all opposed to the idea of taking advantage of their parents. They are determined to make full use of their family's influence for their personal gain.
Nevertheless, they were right because Harry and the others would never leave them alone if they were aware that their successor was in deep trouble.
Therefore, Henry and his friends decided to stay in Zarain for as long as possible.
To their surprise, as Shaun ended the conversation with someone over the phone, his expression darkened.
“The Dragons have learned that Forlevia is a child prodigy! They will soon nurture his talent for the sake of the nation! In other words, as Erudia's hope, she would soon succeed in life! It was the same for the Black family and the Lopez family! Maybe our family will be considered as the honorable family of the nation or something!” Shaun announced the news.
I think the Dragonites are trying their best to compensate the Levi family members for Levi's sacrifice because they haven't found him yet.
They may have known that his daughter was a prodigy and decided to develop her talents for the sake of the nation.
"What?"
Those in the room had fair concerns because the Lopez and Black families would probably also have the same honor.
Although they might be able to live a luxurious life in Zarain, it was nothing compared to the privilege they would enjoy in Erudia.
“Then, what are we doing here? It's time to return to our home country!”
"You're right! In the end, the fact that we are Eludian remains! It's time for us to return home!”
“Indeed, no matter where we are, there is no denying that we are an Eludian!”
The materialistic group had changed their minds within a few seconds and reached an agreement to return to Erudia.
Out of nowhere, someone announced, “Ha! I'm afraid that's impossible!”
Seconds after the mysterious figure made itself clear, a group of people appeared in the mansion out of nowhere.
Jared appeared with a group of fierce-looking men. It turned out that he had assigned countless bodyguards to keep him safe since the country owed him a debt of gratitude.
In addition, Zarain authorities have sent helicopters to keep Jared safe only in case of an ambush from afar.
In other words, Jared has been given the highest level of security protocol. The level of security bestowed upon him was equivalent to that of the king of the nation.
"That's you!"
As soon as Shaun and his friends see Jared, their eyes widen in disbelief as they learn the man's identity, including the fact that Jared used to be Levi's classmate.
Chuckles, Jared announced, “I want you all to join me from now onward! In short, all of you will remain citizens of Zarain!”
Fabian and his colleagues exchanged glances because they knew the things that were waiting for them if they joined Jared and did his bidding on his behalf.
Others would consider them Erudian traitors and stop them from returning to the country forever.
“If any of you try to defy me, I fear there will be no way out for you! Actually, it is not a bad matter since you all can live a luxurious life from now onward! It doesn't matter if you are from a different country!”
In the end, the pretentious group agreed to join Jared and do his bidding from that day onward.
