Chapter 220: The Grim-faced Lunatics

Ryan met Levi while traveling the world. He met him after he met Rayden in Africa. That day, Levi was disguised as a trader and was eyeing Ryan's life. 

After failing and getting badly injured, Ryan took care of him and accepted him. Although his title as general was opposed by many, Ryan had never doubted his ability and loyalty since their first meeting.

The wounds Levi suffered were truly terrible, the blood on his body never stopped flowing. However, Levi's expression was completely flat and didn't show an expression of pain.

Beside him, two people were also tied up and cursing the guard who was whipping their boss.

"You think a weak whip like that can hurt us?" One of them taunted.

The burly guard became angry when he heard the taunts, he beat the three of them even harder.

"All those big muscles but you're still useless with your wack whipping skill. Go get someone else to replace you!" 

"Be quiet, he's done a pretty good job in massaging. Hey, you can whip me even stronger, my back is not that weak," the man known as the Lion answered.

"Please throw away your sympathy and whip us harder! That's right! Come on do it harder!" 

The burly man was shaking his head with these three people, it was the first time he heard the prisoners ask to beat themselves harder.

"Are you all crazy?" He couldn't take it anymore, he was out of breath.

Even though he wanted to continue, the burly man finally sat down to the side to gather his strength again.

The three prisoners then sighed. To be honest, they were completely insane and abnormal. One was very quiet and enjoyed the pain from deep within his heart. The other yelled and cursed at the executioner to give them more pain. And the last one even praised him for and said that his whipping technique was a massage for him.

"Have the people from Nergal's army all gone mad?" The guard muttered.

"Hah? Is your brain damaged or something?" The person called Spyro frowned and said loudly. "You weak fool! Never insult our master's army!"

The burly guard then smiled. "What can you do? Don't you see that you are trapped here? You'll suffer in this place for eternity!"

"He will save us," The Lion stared at the guard with a ferocious gaze. He believed that their master Ryan would come.

Hearing these words, Levi raised his head. His eyes were sparkling and Spyro also became excited. Spyro said aloud, "I believe our master will come."

"Ha ha ha!" The guard laughed. "We have taken that place you call as headquarters that person you adore has never even shown himself. I'm surprised you guys still hope he will come,"

"You can insult us, you can torture us ... But if you dare to insult my master, I will kill you!" Levi had been silent all the time but suddenly gave off a dense killing aura that made this torture chamber heavy.

The main reason their base had fallen was because of Golge. Even if Eclipse brought dozens of martial arts experts with him that day, they still wouldn't be able to conquer that underground world palace. 

"Really sad, huh?" The burly man shook his head and said in a mocking tone, "You will die while still believing help will come. Don't think that Nergal you adore has the ability to break through this place. No one has ever been able to take even one step after passing the door!"

"Screw you!" Cursing sounds were heard from another prison cell.

The guard turned his head back and gave a cold snort, "No matter what you say, all of you will die here without seeing sunlight again. Enjoy the endless torment before your breath stops!"

"You call this torture? I thought you were just helping to scratch my back!"

"You think we're afraid of you? My grandmother's slap is stronger than you!"

The twins were part of the 8 lieutenants, their combined attack was truly terrifying and led them to their positions.

"Hahaha, I can't wait to skin you all alive!" The guard was fed up. "I will enjoy torturing each of you to your death. Weep for your master who will never come back from hell!"

But at this time, an explosive sound was heard from the direction of the door. The immovable door flew back and wide open!

In an instant, everyone's eyes were fixed on the door and saw a young figure emerge from behind the smoke.

"I have arrived."

The guard carrying the whip was shocked. When Ryan's subordinates saw his figure coming out from behind the smoke, they all fell silent. 

The entire dungeon fell into silence at once.

Levi looked at his master then smiled broadly, he knew that Ryan would definitely come for them!

All of them smiled and shed tears as they were slowly awakened from their daze. Then they spontaneously shouted one name.

"Nergal!"

"Nergal!"

"Nergal!"

...… ..

This exclaimed voice made the atmosphere of the dungeon become boisterous, while the guards became panicked.

They did not expect that the upper prison, which was known to be very strict, would be broken into.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to be that whimsical," said the Lion to Spyro.

"Damn it! Who the hell is crying? Some dirt just got into my eyes you know!"

Levi just laughed at his friend.

"SHUT UP!" The guard lashed the three prisoners.

The three of them no longer cared about the pain, they were already filled with joy and happiness.

Ryan walked forward, he headed to the innermost prison cell. Under the gaze of his followers, Ryan stopped in front of Scarlett's cell. They both smiled at each other.

The Wolf, Naomi, Clyde and the others slaughtered the guards and released their troops.

"Heyyyy! My sweet Naomi, please let your prince go first. I've been tied up for a long time and my body is itching to hug you. Please free me!" Spyro shouted.

"Tch! You are really pathetic, how could you ask a woman for help?" The Lion said.

Naomi heard the cry for help and only looked at Spyro coldly before walking towards another cell.

"Ah…. That cold gaze sure is sexy as ever!" It seemed that Spyro was a masochist.

One by one the guards of this dungeon were mercilessly killed. They left absolutely no one alive. 

After releasing Scarlett, Ryan went to the cell where Levi, Lion and Spyro were. He looked at the pitiful condition of his subordinates then his gaze fell on the guard who was carrying the whip.

The guard was trembling slightly in his heart, he seemed to know that today was his last day alive. He let out a loud roar and lunged at Ryan. But Ryan's speed was really fast, his fist was already flying and the guard could only feel the pain engulf him before he lost his consciousness.

Ryan did not kill him, he originally wanted to capture Eclipse's subordinates and deal with them when this matter was resolved. They had tormented his people, Ryan didn't want to give them an easy death.

Seeing the guard who was already unconscious, Ryan tied him with his whip. To make sure he wouldn't run away, Ryan broke one of his legs.

"Sir, you have finally come!" Spyro was already in tears, his face was smiling broadly.

"Hey, are you a girl or a boy?" The Lion shuddered seeing the fierce Spyro on the battlefield turning into an innocent girl in front of his master. He vowed to stay away from Spyro after leaving this prison.

Ryan clenched his fist and slammed it on the chain binding the three of them. Now they could walk freely.

"How are you?" Ryan asked.

"Not bad," Levi nodded, even though his body was covered in wounds, they were only external wounds.

"How many people are left?" Ryan asked.

Hearing this question, the three of them immediately fell silent for a moment. Levi then said as one of the generals, "Of the eight generals, only 5 are left. The betrayal of the Tiger and Eclipse made some of our troops follow them. Yasmin is still missing and Algren was killed,"

Ryan was silent for a moment. Even though he knew the situation of his troops, hearing this still made him uncomfortable.

Of the 8 lieutenants, only Spyro, Lion, Yasmin and the twins (Tyrell and Theo) were left. Algren had died and the saddest thing was the treacherous Tiger and Eclipse. 

"Among the 5 generals, only Griffin did not survive," Levi continued. Among the 5 generals, only 4 were left— him, Rayden, Naomi and Wolf.

At this time, Scarlett came over to him and said in a gentle tone, "The fall of our palace is my fault, master can punish me. I have disgraced your name,"

"There's no use regretting what happened, what we need now is a plan to take our place back," Ryan stroked Scarlett's head.
