At that moment, all those from the Divine Leaderboard who were defeated were gathered at Levi's manor.
They were laying the blame on him.
“Levi, have you seen what you have done? The consequences are playing out right in front of you!”
“Erudia has been humiliated and everyone feels ashamed!”
“All its champions on the Divine Leaderboard have been wiped out. There's no one left to stop them now. Today marks the darkest moment in Erudia's history!”
Even Edmund and his men had hurried over.
“Levi, do you now admit that this is your fault? If you hadn't stopped us by saying it was a fake, the Iron Golem Technique wouldn't have fallen into the hands of others. Now, outsiders are using it to trash us and humiliate Erudia. They are trampling on our pride and the martial arts of Erudia!
“Don't forget that the Iron Golem Technique belonged to Erudia. We were the ones who were supposed to wield it. But now, it's being used by our enemies to kill us!”
Everyone continued to criticize Levi.
They vented the anger, frustration, and shame they felt from their defeat onto him.
Although the matter was indeed Levi's fault due to his erroneous judgment, the blame shouldn't solely rest on him.
If they were powerful enough, none of this would have happened.
The crux of the matter was their own incompetence.
And yet, they even dared to complain and vent their frustrations on Levi.
All of a sudden, Levi smiled.
It's not a bad idea for all of them to know their place. Or else, they may continue to assume that they are invincible. All this while, they have gloated incessantly about their ranks to the extent of being obsessed with themselves. But after being defeated, they seemed to have known their place. Their rank on the Divine Leaderboard didn't seem to make a difference in the face of the Iron Golem Technique. Also, haven't they constantly extolled the virtues of modern era techniques? But now, their techniques have proven to be useless against the Iron Golem Technique, which is an ancient one to begin with.
Consequently, Levi felt that their defeat was a valuable reminder for them to stay humble.
However, there was no way Edmund and Donald could accept the humiliation of being thrashed.
Despite Edmund's defeat, The Cardinal Hall still didn't interfere. All they did was swallow the shame.
However, Donald couldn't bear being ridiculed.
