Every news they received was disadvantageous for Levi. It worsened the misunderstanding about him.
This was the result desired by the forces in Raysonia.
They wanted to force Levi into a dead-end such that he had no choice but to fight back.
Then, he would be fighting against The Cardinal Hall and Erudia’s martial arts world.
No matter who came out winning, Raysonian forces would sit in wait to reap the benefits.
However, the public, Raysonian forces, and even The Cardinal Hall did not expect what happened next.
People who once followed the Fiery Demon, meaning all those who strayed into the dark side, suddenly appeared in such a critical moment.
In the era of the Fiend, they followed Cyrus to suppress the righteous. They were mighty and proud then.
However, after the fall of the Fiery Demon, these followers faced persecution from the righteous sects and The Cardinal Hall.
Those that survived were forced to the corners of Erudia and into hiding. They lived in the shadows.
If not for the news about the Fiery Demon’s heir, they would have to live in hiding for the rest of their lives.
After the fall of the Fiery Demon, they did not dare to reveal themselves.
However, their situation had changed.
“The Fiery Demon’s heir? Does that mean we will have a leader? We have been waiting for this day for a long time. While we may never live to see the Fiery Demon again, at least we have his heir! I hope he will lead us to regain Cyrus’ glory!” said one of the Fiery Demon followers.
Once there was news of a new leader, the other Fiery Demon followers appeared one after another, seeking to follow Levi.
It was completely unexpected.
These ancient Fiery Demon forces kept showing up and were immensely stronger than the criminals who followed Levi.
In the past, when Cyrus was their leader, they had the strength to contend with Erudia’s martial arts world.
Now, they had to stay in hiding to escape from The Cardinal Hall and Eragon.
“Announce this immediately! Whoever that dares to harm the Fiery Demon’s heir is our enemy! We will obey the Fiery Demon’s heir wholeheartedly!”
The entire Erudia was in an uproar upon hearing what the Fiery Demon follower declared.
Even Levi was stunned.
What’s going on? Why does a group of heretics want to follow me? Are they asking for trouble? Things are troublesome enough, and now, they brought more.
The declaration from Fiery Demon followers further cemented Levi’s demonic status.
It seemed impossible for him to clear his name.
Meanwhile, the forces in Raysonia were excited about the appearance of the Fiery Demon followers.
It seemed that luck was on their side.
Previously, they thought that Levi would have to fight alone. He seemed helpless against the whole of Erudia.
Unexpectedly, followers of the Fiery Demon suddenly appeared.
They could lend Levi their strength and provide an advantage in the battle against Erudia’s martial arts world.
Everything was going according to what Raysonia’s forces planned.
If two colossal powers battled each other, both sides would suffer heavy losses.
It would then weaken Erudia’s martial arts world and allow Raysonia’s martial arts world to rise again.
“We shall begin the second part of the plan in a few days! Then, we will destroy the future of Erudia’s martial arts world!”
The appearance of Fiery Demon followers caused many people to panic.
The Cardinal Hall and Erudia’s martial arts world used their reappearance as an excuse to take action.
Now, they had something to blame the Dragonites. “Do you see the effect now? Will you still insist that it won’t affect anything?”
The Dragonites were collectively silent.
They knew that Levi did not direct the Fiery Demon followers.
However, they could not decide what to do.
Somehow, the Fiery Demon followers came out from hiding because of Levi and brought more trouble to him.
“Now, Levi is nearly as dangerous as Cyrus were in the past! Cyrus’s danger rating was level 8! Now, Levi’s danger rating is level 7!” said someone from The Cardinal Hall.
These were danger ratings designated by The Cardinal Hall.
It was alarming enough to prompt The Cardinal Hall and Eragon to take action for the sake of national security. “Issue this order. Everyone is to spare no effort to capture Levi before he meets with the followers of the Fiery Demon!”
Thus the warriors in Erudia’s martial arts world began to act promptly.
