Levi Garrison: The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 2004

Azure Dragon and the others had gone through a lot just for today. Their iron will to make it through the hurdle was inspiring as they practiced day in and day out. Some of them even nearly died or were on the verge of madness throughout the practice just so they could finally fight alongside Levi again, just like they used to. The day that they had been waiting for finally arrived. “This is the time when I'm gathering forces. So, do expect heavy missions from hereon in. Please exercise caution in all your moves!” “Don't worry, we will complete all missions given to us!” “We can finally fight alongside you!” Azure Dragon and the others were beaming with delight. Levi did not beat around the bush further as he hurriedly assigned missions for them in order to complete the next step of his plan. Meanwhile, Levi was headed somewhere... On the other side of things. After welcoming Robed Slayer back to Erudia, Zoey and the others headed to another place. They encountered a mysterious old man on their way. Wynona was about to chase the man away when the old man proclaimed himself to be the Half Phantom on a mission to look for Zoey as assigned by Levi. Wynona decided to listen to what the old man had to say. She diverted Zoey's attention while she queried the old man together with Mia. “Mr. Garrison's death is directly linked to this!” the old man said. “Huh?” Wynona and Mia were dumbstruck. “I am a cursed man. People who seek my help will have to pay for what they seek on equal terms. I've asked if Mr. Garrison was willing to bear such a price and he said yes! I knew that death was what he sought when he said that, but there was nothing I could do. There's nothing to do now but to let Mrs. Garrison return to normal.” Then, the Half Phantom started to treat Zoey. However, a group of people infiltrated the place right then. They were sent by Bruce to capture Zoey and the others. This time, Bruce sent over ten fighters to seize them, including The Annihilator! Bruce was someone who exercised great caution in his moves. He was well aware of Zoey and her group's capabilities and sent people who could match up to the group. They hid around the area, observing every move of Zoey and the group intently, ready to pounce at any moment. Zoey let out wails of pain when the Half Phantom was treating her. She felt as if the Half Phantom was trying to pull something out of her brain forcefully. How is the Half Phantom doing this when even the latest technology and treatment are futile against this? Magical techniques do have their wonders. I guess some things just can't be explained in scientific terms, at least not with our current understanding of it anyway. The Half Phantom did not think Zoey's case was exceptionally difficult to treat. He merely concluded that there was someone else living inside of her. All he had to do was to extract that other person out of Zoey. After an excruciatingly long time, Zoey finally returned to normal. The Half Phantom looked as if he had aged by another decade by the end of it as cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Mia and Wynona steadied the crippled man and asked, “Zoey, how do you feel?” Zoey massaged her temples and said, “I'm all right!” “Levi...” Wynona uttered the name with great caution. “What's the matter with Levi?” Zoey asked apprehensively in return. “No, Levi's...” Right then, Zoey recalled everything. Even though she regarded Levi as her enemy under Jared's influence, now she remembered everything. “What happened to me? Why did I kill Levi?” Zoey became hysterical. Wynona then recounted everything to Zoey. “Jared's consciousness was affecting me and turned me into a vengeful person? I...” Zoey was stumped. “There's no point talking about it anymore because Levi is gone!” Wynona sighed. “Is Levi really gone?” Zoey asked. “The Half Phantom saw how he died with his very own eyes. He did not even manage to secure his body!” “Ahh!” Zoey let out an agonized scream that seemed to penetrate into the skies. Right then, The Annihilator showed up with nine other fighters. “Yes, Levi's dead. I killed him with my very own hands and destroyed his body!”
