Levi Garrison: The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 2380

Chapter 2380 The Divine Brigadier Surrenders A trail of blood painted the air, and the divine brigadier was sent toppling backward again, but this time, he had to stagger further backward before he found his bearing again. He wiped the blood that was trickling down the corner of his lips, and he was filled with disbelief. His internal organs felt as if they were torn to shreds, and his whole body throbbed with pain. But more than that, he could feel his body getting torn to pieces. It was just a single punch, but it was enough to severely injure him. At that very moment, he thought he wasn't facing Dark Emperor, but death itself. The divine brigadier had never tasted defeat in his long career. He was the leader of The Cardinal Hall, after all. Leadership skill was a must, and so was unimaginable power. Back in his prime, he killed countless enemies alone. Even Forlevia's masters were no match for him. But eventually, he stepped down and allowed The Cardinal Hall to grow under his underlings' supervision, while he went into solitary training for many years. Thanks to that, the already insanely powerful divine brigadier became even more powerful than ever, but still, he lost to Dark Emperor, an enemy he used to beat easily. Back then, he chased her away, and she never had the courage to come back just because of a single warning from him. What the hell happened to her? How did she manage to grow this powerful? And from the looks of it, she held back. If she attacks me again, I'll be dead. She only let me go for old times' sake. But unbeknownst to him, the Dark Emperor he was facing wasn't the same enemy he used to fight. Instead, the one behind that mask was none other than... Levi himself. “Hm?” Levi sounded surprised. It was a miracle that the divine brigadier only got off with an injury after receiving that punch head-on. Levi thought the divine brigadier would end up dead though. Yes, that punch wasn't too serious, but fighters such as the likes of Dark Emperor and Forlevia's masters would die without any question. However, the divine brigadier managed to survive that. Yes, he was severely injured, but getting out of it alive was already a much better outcome than he thought it would be. This was the first time someone took Levi's punch and lived. Oh, so I can punch him again? Nice one. God, after so long, finally I get one guy who can take my hits. That punch was a far cry from Levi's true power. If he punched the divine brigadier with his full force like he did back in the Prison of Darkness, the divine brigadier would have died in the spot. Just before Levi could hurl another punch, the divine brigadier spewed blood and surrendered, “I surrender! I'm no match for you. Stop! If you keep that up, I'll die!” The divine brigadier of The Cardinal Hall actually surrendered to his enemy. If The Cardinal Hall and Eragon found out about this, their jaws would probably drop. The divine brigadier would never surrender no matter what, or at least that was what everyone thought. The thought of him surrendering never even crossed their minds. They have imagined him losing before since he was human after all. There was no way the divine brigadier would be invincible forever. However, surrendering was another story altogether. If they knew about the divine brigadier surrendering to Dark Emperor, they'd probably have their minds blown away. But they didn't know the real reason he surrendered to Levi. The divine brigadier surrendered because he felt powerless against Levi. No matter how he tried, he couldn't see any chances of winning. The gap of power between them was more than he could imagine. It was like a yawning abyss, one that he could never hope to cross. There was no choice but to surrender. He didn't want to do that either, but it wasn't as if he had another choice. He was no match for Levi. If he stubbornly kept fighting, Levi would kill him for sure. The divine brigadier had surrendered, but Levi didn't say anything to him. He just went past the divine brigadier and kept heading toward his next destination. “I...” The divine brigadier didn't know what to feel, but one thing was for sure, and it was that Dark Emperor could come and go as she pleased from then on. “Something feels different about her.” The divine brigadier couldn't sense that familiar aura his old enemy radiated, but he chalked it up to her drastic change. “Is it because she got stronger?” The divine brigadier had a lot of questions, but more than that, he felt crestfallen and defeated. It was his first fight after his decades of solitary training, but he lost horribly. On top of that, he even surrendered to his enemy. Eventually, he went back to The Cardinal Hall, while Levi went to the Erudian Alliance. He gathered Asura and the others and asked them to search for some ancient sites, much to their curiosity. They wanted to know the reason behind the search, but they'd never question Dark Emperor's orders. All they had to do was execute the given order, and that was it. After a while of searching, they found an ancient site buried under a snowy mountain in the North. “Your Highness, we found something! Please take a look!” Oh, so there is something out there.
