Chapter 2217 Kill The Dark Emperor

Evidence? Not even the most convincing argument or the Lab of Gods materializing before Zoey’s eyes can sway her belief. She’ll only claim that they’re false.

Levi recalled how Zoey had needed hours to convince herself that he showed up alive and kicking.

She’s been hard-wired not to go against the Dark Emperor’s orders. When faced with criticisms of her master, her first instinct is to search for solutions that can defend his actions.

Levi looked at her earnestly and pleaded, “You’ve been brainwashed! Please, you’ve got to get a hold of yourself!”

Instead, Zoey declared, “I’m well-aware of my thoughts, and there’s no such thing as brainwashing! Master treats me almost as good as how the two of you treat me.”

Shaking his head in frustration, Levi uttered, “Do you know why I was locked up? It was because I tried to look for you! The Dark Emperor locked me up for three whole years in retaliation!”

Zoey could not help but shudder at his mind-blowing revelation.

It suddenly reminded her of an incident in the past.

Back then, when she was in the old grounds of the Sacred Organization, she had heard someone struggling in the Prison of Darkness. The commotion had been so huge that it shook the mountains and the ground.

Zoey remembered asking the Dark Emperor about it, and he merely said that the prison held his enemy.

Levi was his enemy? My husband? N-No! This can’t be! Levi was never strong enough to be acknowledged as the Dark Emperor’s enemy!

Aware of the Dark Emperor’s powers, Zoey knew that he had been at the pinnacle of his craft over the past three years.

Levi is only strong enough to be his disciples. Plus, no one would be able to open that abandoned Prison of Darkness except the Dark Emperor himself!

Death Fiend told Zoey that even the Dark Emperor could not unlock the Prison of Darkness as and when he pleased.

Both the Skyward Sword and the Terra Blade were needed to unlock this prison.

Without them, the Dark Emperor couldn’t do anything to open the prison.

How did Levi escape the Prison of Darkness? That’s impossible!

Zoey became convinced that she had seen through his “lies”.

“Levi, I’m happy that you’re alive, but please stop vilifying Master! Without him, I’d be dead by now!”

“Argh, why won’t you believe me?” Levi was running out of ideas.

Even if I dragged the Dark Emperor here and had him admit to manipulating Zoey, she would never believe me. The only chance I have is to kill the Dark Emperor! Let’s see how he can continue brainwashing her from his grave.

“Vilify him? I’m going to kill him! Just you wait and see!”

The Dark Emperor was naturally on the top of Levi’s hit list after three years of imprisonment.

Zoey was distraught. “You mustn’t! You can’t kill Master! It’s not like you’re his match anyway.”

Forlevia fretted at the sight of her parents arguing. She piqued up, “Mommy, Daddy, don’t worry. I’m here! If all else fails, there are my masters as well.”

I can protect Mommy and Daddy!

“The lot of you can remain in North Hampton, but not at the Lopez residence. Go back to your home!”

Finally, Levi led Zoey and Forlevia toward his lodgings.

Zoey was still blaming herself over her failure to seize the Skyward Sword for the Dark Emperor.

Forlevia tried to comfort her mother, “Mommy, isn’t it good enough that we’re alive? What good is the Skyward Sword for anyway? No one can defeat that mister!”

“You’re right,” Zoey seemed convinced.

That man is literally the strongest fighter in existence.

“I just feel bad that I couldn’t complete Master’s assignment. Nevertheless, I’d like to visit him and inform him myself,” said Zoey.

Levi was about to say something when a voice rang out. “We’re here to escort you back!”
