Chapter 2139 The Secrets Of Fiery Demon

Actually, Levi was more interested to find out why Cyrus set up The Dark Sun, and what grudges he had against the martial arts world of Erudia.

He was also curious why Bruce trusted Cyrus so much and what made Cyrus suddenly vanish from the public’s eyes during his heyday. There were too many missing pieces of puzzles in Cyrus’ story.

“Actually Maestro, no, I mean God, was the one who gave me my new life! Just like the other people you met earlier, he had given all of us a new lease of life!”

Cyrus was extremely emotional when he talked about Levi’s mentor. The gratitude and awe he had were deep in his heart.

Levi quietly listened on, not wanting to interrupt him.

“I was from Eragon!” Levi’s jaw dropped upon hearing that from Cyrus.

What…? He is from Eragon? Fiery Demon is from Eragon?

That was a shocking revelation that would create an international uproar if it was made known!

“Please go on!” Levi hid his surprise and urged.

“Eragon and The Cardinal Hall had unimaginable strict regulations. To ensure a pure bloodline, members were not allowed to marry outside of the group. Disobedience meant death!” Cyrus shared.

“My mother was an outsider, a commoner. She and my father met, fell in love, and gave birth to me. Under the strict regulations, both of them were condemned to death. As my father was from one of the marginal lineages, he never had a fighting chance, so both of them were doomed,” he continued.

“Not only did Eragon and The Cardinal Hall destroy everything I had, but they also wanted to eliminate me. They disabled me by severing my martial veins. At my darkest moment, it was God who appeared and saved me. He even taught me skills, which was what you learned too – Reversero and the pursuit of extreme power and speed.” That clearly explained why Cyrus had the same skills as Levi, and thus could easily impersonate him.

“From then on, I vowed to make them pay for their crime! I want them to realize what a huge mistake they had made. That was the beginning of the Era of Fiends. I had Thirteen Fiends under me. My aim was to be a superpower, to make them fear me and be threatened by our existence.” At that point, Cyrus became downcasted, and continued gloomily, “However, in the end, I realized the power I had was insignificant in the eyes of those people. The Era of Fiends meant nothing to them, and despite all I did, they were not even slightly bothered by my presence.”

“Is that why you chose to disappear then?” Levi asked.

“Yes. I thought I was able to stand up against them, but sadly I was proven wrong. That is why I chose to leave Erudia and disappear from the public’s eyes,” Cyrus confessed.

However, he added, “Despite the setback, I will never give up on seeking revenge for my family! The Cardinal Hall and Eragon will forever be my arch enemies. All these years, I persisted in trying to shore up my strength and influence. I want to be able to confront them someday!”

“So you set up The Dark Sun to go against the martial arts world of Erudia, and framed me to create an internal rift among us? All in the name of revenge?” Levi looked at him coldly and asked.

“Yes. They were too powerful. I had to team up with others and resort to underhanded tactics in order to beat them.” Cyrus explained with a guilty look on his face.

“That is also the reason you worked with Bruce?”

Cyrus nodded and elaborated, “That’s right. I knew I would not be able to exact revenge on my own, so I had to make use of Bruce to reach my goal. As The Cardinal Hall was my nemesis, Bruce had never doubted my sincerity in working with him. When we were working together, Bruce received a lot of help from me. I was the one keeping an eye on The Cardinal Hall for him. It may be an impossible task for many people, but it was easy for me as I knew them inside out!”
