Levi Garrison: The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 1516

They were too weak. Before the Northern Demon could show off any skills, they were already down on the ground. They were so frail. Everyone with eyes could see that the Four Basilisks and the Northern Demon were worlds apart in terms of capability. In fact, they might be universes apart. The entire place was silent. Over one billion citizens of Erudia who had been supporters of the Four Basilisks went silent, for they were dumbstruck. Similar looks of disbelief were on everyone's faces. Are we dreaming? Haven't our heroes defeated the Northern Demon before? Tens of thousands had witnessed the Four Basilisks slay the Northern Demon in the past. Why are they so weak now? Why can't they even lay a finger on the Northern Demon? I don't get it. I really don't. Like the others, the Dragonites and the Five Dragons of Erudia had those thoughts in their heads as well. They could not figure out what had gone wrong. Could it be that it was someone else who defeated the Northern Demon? The Four Basilisks weren't the ones to defeat him? The Northern Demon mocked, “Look. Do you really think that these are the ones who have defeated me before? Do you think that's possible?” “What? What do you mean? Do you mean that someone else defeated you?” Hellhound questioned while staring at the Northern Demon. “Of course. Your rubbish disciples could never do anything to me. They can't even stop a minor attack from me.” Boom! The Northern Demon's reply had come like a bolt from the blue. Someone else defeated the Northern Demon? What about the Four Basilisks? In the next second, tens of thousands pairs of eyes turned toward the Four Basilisks. Moreover, they were starting to feel suspicious about the incident. Even a fool would realize something was wrong by now. The Four Basilisks were no match for the Northern Demon. They were not even worthy opponents for the Northern Demon. Hence, the question was—how did they kill the Northern Demon then? The Four Basilisks hung their heads low. The pain of their injuries was nothing in comparison with the shame they felt. Everything they had done had been exposed. Western Monk's ego was crushed. By then, the whole of Erudia and the world knew that they were lying and were deserters. Furthermore, they would realize that they had also sent their comrades to death. This is very embarrassing and really humiliating. “Argh!” Abruptly, the Western Monk shrieked as he darted toward the Northern Demon. “Die!” Western Monk seemed to have lost his sanity. Thump! With a smack from Northern Demon, Western Monk flew backward as blood spilled from his lips. After crashing onto the ground, he went still. However, the corners of his lips were turned upward into a smile of satisfaction. Evidently, death was freedom for him. That way, he would not need to face the embarrassment. “We...” Eastern Beast and the other two wanted to die alongside Western Monk, but they did not have the courage to do so. However, they did not have the courage to do so. They feared death too much. “The first one is down. There are three more of you. Come! Didn't you want to kill me? Come at me! If you don't do that, I'll come to you instead,” the Northern Demon roared at the remaining three. By then, the trio was shaking in their boots. Instinctively, they took several steps back as screams of terror escaped their mouths. It was fear. The type of fear that radiated out of their bones. It puzzled the Five Dragons of Erudia. Why are they acting like this? “What are you afraid of? Haven't you defeated them in the past? Can you man up? Be like Western Monk. Face him with bravery! What are you afraid of?” the Eastern Hellhound and the other three urged. Even if their disciples knew they were no match for him, they still had to confront the situation bravely. How can they be such cowards? Moreover, you've fought and won against the Northern Demon! Why are you acting so scared? “That's right. Haven't you won against the Northern Demon? What are you all afraid of?” the Dragonites urged. “We're sorry! We're terribly sorry! I'll tell you the truth!”
