Levi Garrison: The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 1518

“To be honest, I feel grateful to that man. He is the strongest adversary that I have ever met! During the battle, I have learned a great many things. Not only did I survive, my capabilities greatly increased. Compared to what I used to be, I am five times more powerful now!” Northern Demon laughed excitedly. The crowd held their breath. Prior to this, Northern Demon was close to being invincible. Therefore, with his power amplified fivefold, he had become unstoppable. Initially, everyone had placed their hopes on the Four Basilisks. However, their expectations were upended instead. The Four Basilisks were no match for Northern Demon at all. Consequently, the Dragonites expression darkened as this was the greatest humiliation they had ever faced. Setting aside the huge error they made, they had now exposed Oakland City and even Erudia to danger. Northern Demon didn't just survive, but was now significantly stronger than before. “Didn't you kill me before? Come at me again!” Northern Demon stared at the remaining three Basilisks who were trembling in fear. He then turned his attention to Eastern Hellhound and his men. “Also, didn't you beat me before? Come on now!” The four of them remained silent. They knew they were fated to be defeated the moment they were sent to fight Northern Demon. After all, they were just cannon fodder. Meanwhile, the leaders of the Dragonites surveyed the battleground. Although they numbered in the tens of thousands, not a single of them was a match for Northern Demon. “Dragonites, which one of you dares to face me?” Northern Demon challenged with a smile. “I...” The leaders were stumped. Do we really have no way of defeating him? Must we surrender instead? No! This is not how we do things in Erudia. Surrendering would sully the nation's honor. Northern Demon sneered, “Alright now, let me give you a choice. As long as you declare to the world that Erudia has submitted to me, I will leave without killing a soul.” He continued, “This simple request can save ten of thousands of lives here and countless others in the nation. It's easy enough, isn't it? But, can you make the decision?” The shame and utter humiliation! Never before did they ever feel so outraged. A single man could pressure Erudia to the point of submission. It's all our fault and our fault alone! The Dragonites were filled with remorse. If we hadn't been tricked by the Four Basilisks, this might not have happened. “Dream on!” “There's no way our nation will bow down to a demon like you!” “One of us will definitely get you. Comrades, charge!” The tens of thousands of men who were defending General's Lake let out a thunderous battle cry as they charged at the Northern Demon. The Northern Demon smirked in response. Let the slaughter begin... The Northern Demon dropped anyone he fought at his feet. However, he didn't kill anyone, only wounded them. He enjoyed seeing the panic and despair on his enemies' faces. In the face of Northern Demon, many elite warriors were no different than untrained fighters. Agonizing cries rang out as thousands of them were injured. Soon, bodies began to pile up everywhere. No one was able to withstand Northern Demon's attacks. “Let's retreat!” “Argh!” When the three Basilisks saw Northern Demon coming, they began to scramble away and flee. They didn't look like the heroes at all. From the initial tens of thousands of men, only a few were left standing, causing the Dragonites to panic. “What are we going to do now?” “At this rate, Oakland City will be turned into a living hell!” “The Dragonites will be disgraced!” “What can we do? Let's think of something now!” “Wait, there's still the Crown King, Levi, right?”
