Ch. 3311..3320
Chapter 3311 Levi Arrives At North Pavilion
“Oh? Is that so? You don’t believe me, do you?” Gloria asked as she stabbed Ralph with her sword.
Spurt!
“Stop it! Don’t hurt my friends! I’m willing to die in their stead, so please don’t kill them! I believe you, okay? I believe that you’ll be able to do it!” Sonja yelled in desperation.
She knew full well that Gloria would never let them go as doing so would give them a chance to warn Levi about her plans.
Having witnessed just how cruel and ruthless Gloria was, she feared that Kato and Ralph would end up dying at her hands too.
“Heh… I was planning on killing you all right away, but your defiance in the face of death intrigues me. As such, I’ve decided to let you guys live for the time being! I want you all to watch as I obtain Forlevia’s spiritual bone and Levi’s Ancient Divine Sword! In fact, I’ll even show you all how I put Levi under my control!”
Sonja and the others breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that.
What? She’s actually letting us live? Wait… She only sees us as a tool to satisfy her own twisted desires, so we might end up with a fate worse than death!
“Lock them up! I’m going to North Pavilion to split the treasure!” Gloria ordered with a chuckle.
The look on Sonja, Kato, and Ralph’s faces turned gloomy when they heard that.
They felt really bad for being kept alive while knowing that North Pavilion was completely done for.
“North Pavilion is going to be destroyed, and there’s nothing we can do about it!” Sonja exclaimed helplessly with a sigh.
She knew full well there was no hope for North Pavilion whatsoever, and she was right about that.
Meanwhile, all hell broke loose in front of North Pavilion’s main hall.
Due to them being a powerful faction with a solid foundation, their enemies suffered heavy casualties even though they had teamed up with various other factions.
Even so, North Pavilion was still the victim of a siege and could only do so much against the attacking forces.
In less than an hour, North Pavilion had lost about half of its forces, and its master was also severely wounded.
To make matters worse, they were unable to activate the Dragon Trapper Formation in front of the main hall, so they couldn’t fully utilize their more deadly weapons.
The number of enemies rushing toward North Pavilion’s main hall kept increasing as time went on.
Sensos, Bulder, and Exto were able to handle fighting seven to eight elites at once, but they were being attacked by hundreds of elites this time.
With the seemingly endless waves of enemies pouring in through the main hall’s entrance, the Three Sages were soon overwhelmed.
With the odds completely stacked against them, all hope seemed to be lost for North Pavilion.
They had no idea who they could ask for help, especially when they were such a powerful faction with an abundance of resources.
The fact that the Ecclesiastic Order didn’t join their enemies in the assault was a miracle in itself, so they couldn’t expect any assistance from them either.
“Attack! We must take down North Pavilion before more people arrive to split the treasure!” shouted the head of the Wolf God Palace as he stood outside North Pavilion’s main hall.
Hearing that got everyone all worked up, and they charged at North Pavilion’s main hall like crazy.
The master of North Pavilion and his men tried their best to hold out against the enemy’s attacks, but there was only so much they could do in the face of such an overwhelming force.
They could only hold out for another thirty minutes at most before North Pavilion would get completely overrun.
The Three Sages were severely wounded and had been sent flying many times throughout the assault.
“Who would’ve thought that North Pavilion would end up being destroyed on our watch? We really have let our master down!” they exclaimed helplessly in unison.
As they had insolently tried to recruit Levi back then, they couldn’t blame him for beating them up either.
Unbeknownst to them, Levi had found out about the battle taking place at North Pavilion and came rushing over.
This battle was on a much larger scale than the one he fought in Xyperia with the Deities.
As they were all elites in the Art of Consumption, the battle was so chaotic and intense that it could destroy the entire area completely.
Chapter 3312 Better Not Kill The Three Sages
Naturally, Levi didn’t like that one bit.
He had come to North Pavilion in hopes of having them help him with something, only to walk in on an assault like this.
Urgh… You guys can fight all you want, but could you not do so when I’m here on official business? Well, whatever… Just stay the heck out of my way!
Levi thought to himself with a frown as he continued walking.
He soon arrived outside the main hall where a huge amount of elites were hiding.
They were all there to split the treasures like everyone else, but they chose to wait till North Pavilion was overrun before charging in.
It was their way of obtaining the most valuable item at the lowest possible cost.
As their hiding spot was incredibly well-concealed, they were shocked when Levi showed up like that.
The fact that he was there meant their hiding spot may have been compromised, and that could be extremely detrimental to them.
Although Levi had already spotted them from afar, he chose to ignore them and walked right past the area.
He would not attack them unless they attacked him first.
“Kill him!” the men shouted with a murderous glint in their eyes.
Levi may have chosen to ignore them, but that didn’t mean they would do the same for him.
After all, there was a possibility that Levi would expose their location to others.
“Get him!” four of the elites shouted in unison as they charged at him.
“I was going to leave you guys alone, but you just had to pick a fight with me, huh?” Levi shouted angrily when he saw the elites that surrounded him on four sides.
Fine! You guys chose to attack me, so don’t blame me for not holding back!
Smack!
Levi thought to himself as he slapped one of the elites across the face, causing his body to explode in a bloody mist instantly.
Smack!
Smack!
Smack!
Levi continued to smack the other three elites into their next lives as well.
The hundreds of elites hiding in the area were completely stunned by what they had just witnessed.
Who is this random passer-by? How is he so powerful? Could he be here to back North Pavilion up? If that’s the case, then we must stop him from entering the main hall!
The elites all had the same thought as they exchanged glances among themselves.
“Attack!”
Since their location had already been exposed, they figured they had no choice but to kill Levi on the spot.
“Attacking me is the biggest mistake you guys will ever make!” Levi exclaimed while shaking his head helplessly.
He really didn’t want to kill them, but he wasn’t about to do anything when the hundreds of elites were after his life.
Smack!
Smack!
Smack!
What followed was a decisive, one-sided massacre that left hundreds of bodies scattered all over the place.
Levi was originally planning on ignoring their presence, so they would’ve been fine if they had just left him alone.
In other words, they were directly responsible for their deaths.
Having taken care of those guys, Levi continued making his way toward the main hall.
However, he soon found himself coming across yet another group of men lying in wait.
Similar to the guys that had just been annihilated, they too, were waiting for the battle to end before charging in to split the treasure.
Oblivious to the fate of those Levi had massacred, they tried to kill Levi as well.
Naturally, they all ended up dead just like the men from earlier.
Just like that, Levi killed everyone that dared oppose him as he made his way toward the main hall, leaving a trail of bodies in his wake.
As all of the elites hiding outside the main hall were determined to kill Levi, he ended up eliminating every single one of them.
At the same time, Levi had experienced for the first time just how cruel and merciless the Ecclesiastic Order was.
These guys will kill anyone who happens to get caught up in this mess, huh?
Levi had killed thousands of elites by the time he arrived outside North Pavilion’s main hall.
He frowned when he saw the earth-shattering battle that was taking place inside.
D*mn it! I still have use for the Three Sages, so you guys had better not kill them!
A cold glint appeared in Levi’s eyes as he prepared to kill those who dared attack the Three Sages.
Chapter 3312 Better Not Kill The Three Sages Naturally, Levi didn’t like that one bit.

A cold glint appeared in Levi’s eyes as he prepared to kill those who dared attack the Three Sages.
Chapter 3314 Let Me Through First
A crowd gathered at the bottom of the steps.
North Pavilion had been enduring the fight for almost an hour, and they had lost around two-thirds of their people.
The remaining men were all suffering from injuries.
Most of them were with grave injuries too.
“Master, there are only around ten thousand of us now. However, the enemy has around five to six thousand men. Their numbers are also increasing by the minute. Besides, countless elites are hiding nearby. They are only waiting to attack when the barrier of North Pavilion’s main hall has crumbled. The estimated number of enemies is seven to eight thousand. Most of us are suffering from grave injuries. If they attack together, there’s no way we can block them off. North Pavilion is falling, and we’re all going to die! Our faction is getting destroyed!”
Those from North Pavilion seemed to have their souls sucked out of their bodies upon hearing that.
Hopelessness filled their hearts, and a number of them started sobbing.
Is North Pavilion going to get destroyed just like that?
However, the master of North Pavilion was calm as he said, “How are the three elders doing?”
“They can’t hold on much longer. Hundreds of elites have surrounded them, and the elders are severely injured. But they really are powerful. Even with their bodies in such a state, they managed to persevere till now. However, it seems like the situation is extremely dire right now. There’s nothing we could possibly do when the gods want the North Pavillion wiped out.”
s
Everyone collectively let out a sigh.
They didn’t want an ending like this, but there was nothing they could do to change it.
North Pavilion was going to be destroyed just like that.
The elders were going to die on the battlefield, and so were the rest.
“Everyone, I want you to remember that we died fighting! We did not surrender! Kill them! Kill as many as you can!” the master of North Pavilion shouted.
“Charge! Kill them!” the rest of the people roared.
They were all ready to die in the battle.
Even if they were going to fail, they weren’t about to let their enemies have an easy time breaking down their walls.
On the steps at the bottom, as well as on the steps surrounding North Pavilion’s main hall, were a swarm of elites from various factions.
They were going for their last attack in order to completely destroy North Pavilion.
As such, the master of the Divine Tiger Palace even shouted, “Those who are still in hiding, come out right this instant! I know that you’re all hiding somewhere nearby. Everything has already turned out this way. Do you think there’s still a need to be so secretive? We’re all from the Ecclesiastic Order. There’s no one here who doesn’t know you. Why are all of you being so pretentious? People from factions all over are here, right? The rest of you, come on out! You’ve enjoyed enough of the drama now! It’s about time you do something already. It doesn’t even matter if you act as our cannon fodder.”
Indeed, there was no one who didn’t know how the Ecclesiastic Order was.
Everyone knew very well about the elites who were in hiding.
Hence, they started to shout for those in hiding to come out.
However, there was no response even after the master of the Divine Tiger Palace had shouted for them.
No one answered, nor did anyone appear.
However, it wasn’t because they didn’t want to come out of their hiding spots.
It was because they were all dead.
Otherwise, all of them would have made their appearances the moment they were called.
The rest of the people waited for a while more, but still, not one came out.
“Forget it, Tiger Lord. They won’t show up. All they’ll do is sit back and relax while we do all the dirty work. I’m sure they’ll only appear when we break down all of North Pavilion’s defenses. We’re capable enough now, so there’s no need for them. We can take down this place once we attack.”
“Come on, guys. Let’s bring North Pavilion down. Then, we can split whatever that once belongs to them amongst ourselves,” the master of the Divine Tiger Palace said.
“Charge!” the crowd clamored.
An intimidating aura surrounded them, and they were determined to mow their opponents down.
The situation was greatly in their favor, and they wanted to bring down North Pavilion in just one go.
Both sides were ready to die in the battle.
Just as the master of the Divine Tiger Palace was about to give the order to attack, a voice sounded, “Hold on! Let me through first before you fight. I’m just passing by. Let me through. I’ve got something to do.”
Chapter 3315 I Do Not Know You
Upon hearing that, men from both sides froze in an instant.
Confusion and disbelief were written on each one of their faces.
Someone is passing by at a time like this?
And he’s asking us to not fight first?
It was their first time encountering something like this.
Who would have expected someone to ask them to stop fighting for a moment?
At that very moment, everyone present was stunned.
It was unbelievable.
Who would have known that something like this would happen?
Is this person sick in his head?
Is he really asking us to continue fighting later?
Does he not see that there’s a war going on right now?
Why do you have to pass by here if you have no business here?
Are there no other paths you can take?
Why on earth do you have to pass by here?
The place is so big! There must be many other paths you can take!
Why here?
Can’t you see the number of people around?
What’s more, everyone is fighting each other right now.
Can’t he see that?
Why does he insist on coming here?
Is he not afraid of getting killed accidentally?
Both sides were left utterly speechless, and they were all looking around to find the source of the voice.
In the end, their gazes landed at the bottom of the main hall.
“Hey! Excuse me, coming through!”
Right then, they spotted a figure forcing their way out of the troop on the left.
Is he actually finding his way on the thousand steps of North Pavilion?
In the middle of this crowd?
What is wrong with this guy?
Is he mental?
Levi continued to push his way through the crowd, slowly making his way up the steps.
It made it seem as though he wanted to go through North Pavilion’s main hall.
“Hey, who is this?” the master of the Divine Tiger Palace asked.
Everyone was dumbfounded, indicating that they didn’t know him.
He seems like someone of our own because we have the same goal.
We’re all planning to go through North Pavilion’s main hall.
However, this person seems to be sick in his head.
How could he ask us to stop fighting first?
“Who is this?”
The master of North Pavilion, who was at the top of the steps, was also stunned.
He had never met this person before.
They only had a vague idea of what Levi looked like previously.
He was trying to keep a low profile while looking for the Three Sages at North Pavilion, which was why he had put on a disguise.
Hence, it was only natural that these people didn’t recognize him.
The people by the master of North Pavilion’s side were also trying their best to identify him, and it was evident from their faces that they had never seen him before.
Who on earth is this?
Both sides were thinking of the same thing.
None of them could tell if the man was a friend or a foe.
That was because Levi had nothing to do with both sides at all.
“Yes. Please stop what you’re doing first. You can continue fighting once I pass through.”
Just like that, he pushed his way through the people and stepped forward slowly.
Everyone present was staring at him.
Soon enough, he reached the empty area where the two sides met.
However, as he was trying to continue walking past the injured army of North Pavilion, he said, “Come on. Let me through. Excuse me.”
He waved his hand, but none of them would let him through.
They stood rooted to the spot and weren’t budging.
In their eyes, Levi was their enemy who wanted to bring down North Pavilion and enter their main hall.
How could they let him through with such a thought in their minds?
“Leave us!” the men shouted at him in unison.
“You want to attack the people of North Pavilion, don’t you? You’re one of their men, right? Why the hell are you coming straight to us to fight?” they asked coldly.
Nonetheless, the master of North Pavilion could tell that something was off. He noticed that the men from the Divine Tiger Palace were just as confused.
It doesn’t seem like they know this person.
It’s possible that he’s not one of them at all.
“You’re behind this, aren’t you, Doran? Is this your ploy to delay the time? You even asked for an outsider to help? To be honest, we have no idea who this person is. Besides, with how things have turned out, we could just attack you. Do you think we’d need a ploy like this?” the men of the Divine Tiger Palace couldn’t help but explain when they heard the accusations.
Everyone understood in an instant.
They had no need for Levi in the plan at all.
All they needed to do was charge at them, so why would they waste resources?
Besides, they didn’t even know him.
What’s more, how could one person be able to save the whole of North Pavilion?
Chapter 3316 Here To See The Three Sages
That was not possible.
Even if he was strong enough to instill fear in others, or if he was comparable to one of the Three Sages of North Pavilion, it was still useless.
It was useless in a situation like this.
After all, a single stone could never fill up an ocean.
As for their ploys?
Nothing would work anymore, so why would they need a plan now?
Besides, how much time would he even be able to buy by doing this?
Even if he did manage to drag it out, it would still be useless.
Without anyone powerful to back them up, North Pavilion would eventually fall.
In fact, their enemies would only increase in number the longer they try to drag it out.
Hence, it was pointless for them to do so.
The longer they try to prolong this, the worse their deaths would be.
“We, North Pavilion, will battle till our last breath. There’s no need for schemes like this. Besides, we don’t even know who this person is. It doesn’t matter if we die on the battlefield, we will never resort to cheap ploys like this,” Doran said.
The master of the Divine Tiger Palace could tell that the people from North Pavilion were confused too.
It seems like they’re just like us. They don’t know him at all.
What is this person up to?
“I don’t know both of your sides. Stop trying to guess what’s going on already,” Levi said as he waved his hands.
“Why are you here?” the master of North Pavilion asked.
“I’m here to find the Three Sages of North Pavilion to ask them some questions…” the former said.
“Aren’t you here to cause troubles for us then,” the crowd questioned angrily upon hearing that.
After wasting so much time, they found out that he was here to meddle with North Pavilion.
There was no way they would let him through now.
Who on earth is he?
But it turned out that he was the same as those at the bottom of the steps.
“Hahaha…”
The master of the Divine Tiger Palace and the others began to laugh.
“So after wasting so much time, you’re just here to get your hands on North Pavilion too? And I was wondering why you were here earlier. I really thought that their trump card is here.”
In an instant, everyone seemed to have understood.
“Hey, punk! Get behind here, understand? We’ve been fighting all day here, but there was no sign of you at all. Yet, here you are, running up to the front when we’ve sorted out what everyone would get? Do you think we’d let that happen? Get back down here right now! I’m not going to give you anything on what we’ll be getting here. Otherwise, I’ll be the one to crush you into pulp,” the master of the Divine Tiger Palace berated.
“Get back down here!” the tens of thousands of men behind began shouting too.
Meanwhile, the injured army of North Pavilion shouted, “Get lost!”
It was as though they wanted to chase Levi away no matter what because they would never allow their enemy to have the chance to ever humiliate them.
Right now, Levi was putting them to shame.
None of them could take it.
Then, the man shouted at the people from North Pavilion, “I just wanted to ask the Three Sages some questions. Please let me pass through. I’ll leave immediately after I’m done with my questions. I won’t even take part in your fight.”
He wasn’t lying.
In fact, he was too lazy to even bother.
What does their life and death have anything to do with me?
However, his attitude had angered North Pavilion.
This was nothing but humiliation to them.
Moreover, the Three Sages were already on the verge of dying.
How can they even answer his questions?
At least find a better excuse.
“Now you’re trying to meddle with our elders? No way!” the master of North Pavilion said, an icy glint in his eyes.
Right then, one of his subordinates hurried over to his side to report something.
“It’s getting worse. The three elders are heavily surrounded, and they can’t hold on any longer. Should we send people to help them out? We should at least protect them, right? As long as the three elders live on, nothing will happen to North Pavilion,” he whispered.
The people surrounding were also staring at the master of North Pavilion and saying, “Master, let us save the elders. There’s nothing more important than them. Besides, we took a headcount again earlier. Sonja and the others are not back yet. The great assets of North Pavilion are still alive. If we still have the elders with us, it means that North Pavilion still exists!”
Chapter 3317 Betrayal
Nonetheless, the master of North Pavilion shook his head and said, “It’s no use. We’re surrounded by enemies. There’s no way we can protect this place, and there’s no doubt that the elders will die. North Pavilion is bound to fall. Let’s not waste any more time.”
“That’s true. Since they’re dead set on annihilating North Pavilion, they must have already made enough preparations. None of us will be able to make it out alive. Besides, their own elders from each faction are observing how things are going while hiding nearby. It’s just that they aren’t attacking yet.”
“However, if our elders managed to escape, they will never let this go.”
Their fate was sealed.
Everyone in North Pavilion knew it.
Death was the only thing waiting for them.
No miracle was in sight at all.
In fact, miracle didn’t even exist in such a situation.
There wasn’t any hope any more.
This was how cruel the people of the Ecclesiastic Order were.
Those who fall behind would get beaten up.
This was how North Pavilion’s fate of having to die was decided.
They could only battle till their deaths now.
However, right at that moment, a few men from North Pavilion walked up.
“We are willing to give up, everyone. We also know where the treasures are hidden. If you don’t kill us, not only will we surrender, we will also tell you the place we’ve hidden the treasures.”
Behind these men, a few others began to join them.
Doran’s expression changed instantly when he saw them. “Sedrick! Quinlin, Beryl, Julius, what are you doing?” he roared in anger.
North Pavilion was submerged in chaos.
Everyone exchanged looks with each other.
They managed to stay strong because of a sliver of faith. None of them were afraid of death earlier.
Yet, not that someone had surrendered, none of them could hold it in anymore.
They couldn’t help but feel disheartened and defeated.
After all, who wasn’t afraid of dying?
How could they send themselves to the path of hell when they knew what was going to happen?
There was no meaning behind a death like this.
It was pointless.
No one would even remember them after they died.
Besides, no one would even come to clean up their corpses.
It was too miserable of a death.
Moreover, the disciples and the forces behind these four men had also joined them.
Things only got more chaotic from there on.
The four men were almost the same rank as the master of North Pavilion. They were extremely powerful within the faction.
Not only did they hold much power, but they were also extremely influential.
At the same time, the master of the Divine Tiger Palace and the others started laughing at the sight of this.
“Hahaha! Okay, that’s good. You’re all welcome to surrender,” they said.
With these men around, things will be easier when we split North Pavilion up later.
Ultimately, things would still be difficult if they wanted to enter North Pavilion’s main hall or any other buildings even if they bring down the faction.
It was possible that they were traps hidden everywhere. They would definitely get hurt if they were to head in just like that.
After all, North Pavilion was infamous for the Dragon Trapper Formation.
There was a possibility that there were other traps hidden in other places too.
With this group of people, not only would they have one less problem to deal with, but they would also be able to find more hidden treasures.
They could even minimize any casualties and deaths.
It is hitting two birds with one stone so why not do it?
“All right. All of you can step forward now,” the master of the Divine Tiger Palace instantly agreed.
At that, the four men brought their subordinates and stepped forward.
In the blink of an eye, there were already a thousand or so people betraying the faction and surrendering.
It was no doubt a huge blow to the injured army of North Pavilion.
But most importantly, this was only the beginning.
Doran began yelling at them, “Traitors! You’re not worthy of being apprentices of North Pavilion! There’s no place for people like you here. All of you are embarrassments of North Pavilion!”
They were all going crazy one by one.
Yet, at the sight of this, the four men sneered, “All right, all right. You’re all honorable men. We’re the shameless ones, okay? But so what? We’re able to continue living while all of you wait for your deaths. Let us continue living shamelessly then.”
Chapter 3318 Are You Blind
However, once those words had been said, the remaining soldiers of North Pavilion felt the fire in their hearts starting to burn out as coldness seeped in.
Even though those who surrendered would be publicly humiliated, at least their lives would be spared.
Meanwhile, those who persisted would most definitely meet their ends.
As of then, the remaining soldiers could not even convince themselves to continue defending to the death.
The four men led about a thousand people with them as they stood to the side in unison.
While it was true that surrendering had made them betrayers, all of them would at least live.
At that point in time, it was not surprising that the only wish everyone had was to survive.
The four men turned to the remaining soldiers in the camp and shouted, “Anyone else? Is it bad to want everyone to continue living?”
The army began to falter.
Doran was on the verge of exploding in anger. He thundered at the four men, “If our master finds out what the four of you did, he would be furious! Are you not ashamed?”
To his dismay, the four men laughed in response. “Who would be thinking so much in the jaws of death? Come on, comrades! Come and join us!”
“I want to stay alive!”
Someone from the camp caved under pressure and immediately ran out.
In a matter of seconds, hundreds of them chose to become betrayers again.
Doran was so furious that he almost fainted.
Outrageous!
Blood was thumping in his ears as anger coursed through his veins.
Yet, there was nothing he could do.
As for the remaining ones, although they had not moved an inch, their hearts began to waver.
Their body started to tremble as their grips on the weapons loosened.
How could they continue to fight at this point?
“Stop! Everyone, stop moving!”
Unable to suppress it any longer, Doran hollered.
Seeing that the people of North Pavilion had divided among themselves, the various factions below burst into laughter and started to ridicule North Pavilion.
Who would have thought North Pavilion would be so weak?
The leader of Divine Tiger Palace smiled coyly. “Anyone else who wants to surrender?” he asked.
“You all know how this is gonna end. If you continue to stand your ground, death will be waiting for you at the end of the line!” he mocked.
“But why should you die? Come out and join those who already surrendered, and you will be spared!”
Just then, the four men chimed in, “Exactly. Join us and stay alive! Why bother holding on? There would be nothing to gain from your deaths.”
The leader of Divine Tiger Palace let out a dry laugh. “More importantly, there’s no point for you to keep defending! The Three Sages of North Pavilion are dying! North Pavilion will soon be wiped out! Your sacrifices would amount to nothing!”
With a smirk, he continued, “You might think you’re doing a noble thing, but in reality, you’ll be the only one that appreciates your efforts! No one else will remember you!”
Upon hearing the reasoning of the leader of Divine Tiger Palace, the loyalty of many from North Pavilion began to sway.
They started to hesitate.
That’s true.
Who doesn’t know how this will end?
Death is inevitable.
But what’s the point of continuing to defend?
If the entire North Pavilion got turned upside-down, there would not be anyone to even dig their graves and bury them.
What is the point of persisting?
We know how this is going to end, so why should we continue?
It would be idiotic to go through all the trouble.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
One by one, people started getting up.
One by one, they chose to surrender.
“Sorry, Master! I don’t want to die. I want to live!”
“Forgive me, Master. All I want is to stay alive. I’m not fitted to be your apprentice!”
“I owe everything to your teaching and guidance, Master, but I want to live!”
With that, more and more started to leave the army.
One by one, they ran to the camp next to them with the intention to stay alive.
The entire scene played out in front of the master of North Pavilion’s eyes; yet, he was helpless.
The only thing he could do was watch his people go.
At that rate, half the army had surrendered.
“You guys should go too. As long as you stay alive!” urged Doran.
In his heart, he wished that everyone could live on too.
After all, if he were to take into consideration the situation at hand, there would be no point in sending people to die.
However, those standing behind him declared with a firm conviction. “No! If we die, we die with honor! We will never betray North Pavilion! We live and die with North Pavilion!”
Doran was touched.
It brought him comfort knowing that even at that crucial moment, most would still remain loyal and was willing to fight with all they had.
“Are you guys f*cking done? Can’t you see me standing here? Get the f*ck out of my way!”
Just then, Levi had lost all of his patience.
Chapter 3319 With My Fist
Rage was pulsing through Levi’s veins.
He could not believe that the people there turned a blind eye to him.
Not only that, they dared to make such a commotion by wasting time advising people to surrender.
They had not taken Levi into consideration at all!
I don’t care who’s fighting and what’s happening. Just let me through!
“Let me through, and you guys can proceed with whatever you were doing and fight till your hearts’ content!” Levi ordered.
“You’re wasting my time!”
Letting his wrath take control of his actions, Levi roared as the last bit of his patience slipped away.
Levi’s voice snapped everyone’s attention toward himself.
In an instant, everyone turned their eyes to Levi.
There’s someone else here.
“Buzz off! Didn’t I ask you to go to the far back and leave us alone?” the leader of Divine Tiger Palace snapped angrily.
“Yeah! Buzz off! Give up all the benefits of North Pavilion! If not, we’ll kill you!”
The crowd began to chant.
Meanwhile, the remaining of North Pavilion’s army was already in a bad mood. The commotion caused by Levi ticked them off even further.
“Go back to where you came from! Who would make way for you?” they shouted.
Even the master of North Pavilion was irritated. “Get lost! If you dare, come for me, and I’ll send you flying to the heavens in no time!”
With that, Levi became the enemy to both sides.
Everyone present was mocking and scolding him.
“Fine! If you won’t let me through, I’ll just make a path for myself with my fist!”
Levi’s expression darkened as he adjusted his stance, prepared to fight.
If he wasted any more time, the Three Sages of North Pavilion would be beaten to death.
He needed to move.
“Make way!”
Levi placed a heavy foot down.
Rumble…
A tremendous force could be felt from beneath the ground, threatening to split the ground wide open.
Crack!
Crack!
The steps in front of him immediately split open, extending to the main hall on the top.
“Ah!”
A chorus of screams sounded at once.
The remaining soldiers of North Pavilion were shoved to two opposite sides by the tremendous force.
It was as though an invisible hand had forcefully pushed the soldiers of North Pavilion away.
Levi had taken such drastic measures for two reasons. He could not afford to fail Sonja and the rest after the help they had given him, nor could he fail himself by not seeing the Three Sages as he intended to.
If it weren’t for the two motivators, perhaps the people could have been spared the damage.
Not even the master of North Pavilion could withstand the gigantic force.
Phish!
Doran was sent flying.
After he landed heavily, he began to spew out blood.
Even though the North Pavilion army was not of its fullest potential, there were still numerous powerful fighters.
To their surprise, a light step from Levi was enough to send everyone flying.
They were in no way a match for Levi.
They were not in the same class as Levi.
Everyone was flabbergasted.
The jaws of the surrendered soldiers and those of Divine Tiger Palace fell to the ground in shock.
They had not expected Levi to have such a shockingly strong combat prowess.
Da*n it!
It took us ages to fight to go to the North Pavilion’s main hall; yet, this guy defeated it with just a step?
Even though only a few thousand were left in the North Pavilion army, all of them were elites, and all of them were prepared to fight with all they had.
If everyone were to fight, it still would not be an easy battle.
Sacrificing time and suffering a certain amount of loss would be inevitable, even if it was already the last battle.
Yet, in the end, they were easily defeated with just a wave of energy. Isn’t that too easy?
Did he just defeat them with one single step?
How is that even possible?
The crowd sucked in a cold breath.
Everyone was dumbfounded by what they just saw.
Those from North Pavilion were especially shaken.
What is this power?
The combat prowess is impeccable!
He must be at least in the same class as a grandmaster!
However, they could not seem to remember seeing Levi before.
He also did not seem to be representing any factions.
So who is he?
Everyone was speculating about which faction Levi was from, convinced that he was the best fighter of some powerful factions and was sent there to fight.
What was it that he said just now?
Levi had mentioned that he was there to see the Three Sages of North Pavilion.
One of the four surrendered soldiers laughed. “See, Master? What was the point? All of you had defended relentlessly but in the end, you’re defeated in such a messy manner!”
“You should have followed us and surrendered. At least this way, you wouldn’t be hurt! Are you embarrassed now?”
The four men laughed.
Just then, Levi turned his gaze toward them.
Chapter 3320 Fighting Anyone He Sees
His penetrating gaze stirred up a sense of fear within their souls, causing a chill to run down their spine.
However, they were certain they did not do anything to provoke him.
“Is this your turn to speak?”
Right after he made that remark, Levi threw a punch in the air.
Phish!
Phish!
Phish!
An invisible strength hit them.
Being on the receiving end of the blow, the four men were sent flying far away. Not only that, the flesh on their faces was torn apart, leaving a bloody mess.
Rumble…
At the same time, those who chose to surrender along with them were sent flying by the invisible force as well.
Every single one of them was severely injured. They curled themselves up in a ball as a response to the excruciating pain.
“Bold words for a bunch of backstabbers!” Levi commented coolly.
He absolutely despised betrayers.
Yet, they were daring enough to keep chatting.
“Nice!”
Those from Divine Tiger Palace applauded and cheered.
Doesn’t this mean that he’s on our side?
He’s here to defeat North Pavilion as well.
Because of that, they cheered.
“And you! I’ve had enough of you!”
Levi turned and shot a deadly glare at the leader of Divine Tiger Palace.
Bam!
Swiftly, Levi swung his fist to deliver another blow.
Phish!
Despite all the methods the leader of Divine Tiger Palace had used to defend himself, it was futile.
He was still torn apart by the blow.
Blood spilled all over the place.
Seeing that, no one dared to speak any longer.
From the looks of it, whoever spoke was guaranteed to make himself the next target.
However, Levi’s fierce gaze was still focused on the tens of thousands of people who had attacked North Pavilion despite everyone remaining silent.
“You guys asked me to buzz off just now?”
Levi’s horrifying gaze swept the field.
At that moment, it was as though a god had descended onto the earth, causing others to have the desire to bow to him.
Feeling the pressure from Levi’s gaze, they were so scared that they almost got down on their knees.
It was as though his gaze was enough to tear them apart from the inside out.
“N-no. N-none of that happened…”
Everyone began to deny it while shaking their heads vigorously.
How would they dare to admit it?
If they had known Levi’s frightening power earlier, who would have dared to even say a word?
Not only would they refrain from mocking him, but they would also have banged their heads on the ground as they begged him to spare their lives.
That was what was happening at the moment.
“Mighty sir! We’re all on the same side! We’re all here to attack North Pavilion! There’s no need to fight each other!”
“Yeah! With your powers, you should have left us to deal with the remaining soldiers of North Pavilion. You didn’t need to fight them! In fact, you should be fighting the Three Sages!”
The crowd began to curry favor with Levi.
“Who the f*ck is on your side? You people are here to kill the Three Sages. I’m just here to ask them some questions! How are we the same?” Levi scolded in anger.
“Hahaha! Even you are aware of this trick, sir! Everyone says that!” They started to mimic those who came to find the Three Sages with ulterior motives. “We’re just here to borrow something from the Three Sages! We’re just here to ask them a few questions!” they mocked.
Thinking Levi was just speaking figuratively, they quickly used that opportunity to get on Levi’s good side. In reality, however, it was worsening Levi’s impression of them.
“Get lost!”
Levi was enraged.
Crash!
With a swift movement, Levi sent out a strong burst of energy that could tear through mountains and split the seas.
Phish!
Phish!
The crowd was completely helpless against such powers and were all sent sprawling in various directions.
Tens of thousands of fighters were crushed within a second.
Unbelievable! This is terrifying!
The many fighters of the Ecclesiastic Order were completely defenseless when faced with such powers.
It didn’t matter what methods they used, divine tools, or even the Art of Consumption, nothing could protect them from the terrifying force!
With just one blow, all of the elites were defeated.
By the time Levi was done, no one was left standing.
Everyone had collapsed with serious injuries and was groaning in pain on the ground.
Once again, everyone was taken aback.
No one would have imagined that what Levi had done before was just the tip of the iceberg.
He was only starting to show his true powers then.
How terrifying!
Who on earth is he?
North Pavilion’s trump card?
But he fought the people from North Pavilion as well!
Is he here to destroy North Pavilion?
Then, why would he go against those who came to attack North Pavilion?
Who exactly is he?
And why is he fighting anyone he sees?
