"Damn it!" Damian's expression darkened.He was frustrated with Leon's arrogance and thought that it was foolish of Leon to provoke Eugene. However, Leon was Iris's boyfriend and saved his life before, so there was no way that Damian would stand idly by while Eugene attacked Leon.He charged toward Eugene and the two were instantly absorbed in battle."Damian, just remember that you asked for this! I might not be able to beat you in the past, but you've just recovered. Do you think that you have what it takes to defeat me?!" Eugene sneered and started attacking Damian's lower body."Why you! How despicable!" Damian paled.He was on the same power level as Eugene in the Peak Overlord State. However, since he suffered from paralysis, he was not able to train in the past few months. On top of that, he just started to recover and was still struggling with the mobility of his legs, so he was incapable of wielding the full extent of his power.Eugene saw right through his weakness and
"Leon, you're the man! Nigel's a jerk and you have to teach him a lesson for our sake!" Ruth waved her fist in the air fiercely.Nigel almost defiled Ruth and Cynthia and Ruth resented Nigel too much to let him go."Ruth's right!""Leon, you have to make this right for them!"...Iris and Snow agreed along.Iris developed a great bond with Ruth and Cynthia after spending time with them.Though Nigel was technically her relative, she had the most horrible impression of him ever since Eugene tried to take Damian down during Patrick's birthday, so she did not care if Leon declared war against the second bloodline."You all must be crazy!" Penny gaped.It was bad enough that Leon was crazy enough to challenge Eugene, so she was absolutely shaken that Iris and the others agreed with it. Leon was far too weak to defeat Eugene, so Penny could not understand why Iris and the others would be so confident in Leon."Don't worry, Penny. Leon's powerful and Eugene won't be able to do an
"Baam!"Following the clash of their power, Eugene's power tore through Leon's attack and the aftermath of it swarmed toward Leon.Without panicking, Leon remained still and took Eugene's attack with the Mirror of Sovereign. At the same time, he launched a Double Attack and his true energy at the Initial Innate State filled his fists, before they slammed against Eugene's chest.Eugene was caught off guard and was instantly sent flying into the distance as he spewed blood from his mouth."H- How's that even possible?!"Damian, Penny, and Nigel were all stunned.They all thought that Leon was far too weak to defend himself from Eugene's attack. To their bewilderment, not only did Leon succeed, he took one step above to injure Eugene, who was in the Peak Overlord State, instead.Through the initial shock, Damian fell into despair as he wished that Eugene could defeat Leon to avenge, only to be disappointed by the reality."T- This isn't possible!" Eugene covered his chest and fumb
Eugene hesitated when Leon remained unmoving. Though he guessed that something was wrong, he did not know that Leon possessed the Mirror of Sovereign.All he knew was that he faced Leon directly and Leon managed to summon his true energy even though he was supposed to reach the bottom of his strength. Since that was how Eugene was injured, he did not dare to face Leon off directly if Leon continued to attack, but Leon simply stood without attacking or guarding, which confused him.After a moment of hesitation, Eugene narrowed his eyes viciously. "Die!"He did not know what was up Leon's sleeves, but he knew that Leon was only a man and once he took Eugene's attack, he would suffer severe injuries.Eugene cast aside all doubts and slammed his fist against Leon's chest.Learning from the mistake he made earlier, Eugene did not place all his power into the attack and saved his strength just in case."It's over.""Did Leon freeze out of fear?"The looks on Damian and Penny darkened
"Damn you, kid. So you have been hiding a defensive tool!" Eugene anchored himself and held his injured arm with a dark expression.Leon took his attack without suffering any injuries, so he realized that Leon must have a defensive tool that could fend off the attack from someone in the Peak Overlord State, or Leon would never be able to injure him.Meanwhile, Penny and Damian both realized the same thing as well."I see. Leon managed to beat Uncle Eugene because he has a defensive tool," Realization dawned on Penny."No, that's not all! Leon himself is already in the Advanced Overlord State and with the defensive tool he owns, he managed to win with ease," Damian said.He was far more experienced and could tell that Leon was at the Advanced Overlord State judging from the speed and explosive power he displayed earlier.As he predicted, after taking the Dragon Pill, he temporarily rose to the rank of Intermediate Overlord State and since no one of the same levels would be able to
"Eugene Scammell, take this!" Leon scoffed.Eugene's arrogance enraged Leon and he was not about to let Eugene go, so he charged at Eugene, launching attack after attack."Damn it!" Eugene's expression darkened.He already knew that Leon had a defensive tool and did not dare to face Leon directly, so he kept backing away to dodge Leon's attack.As a martial artist in the Peak Overlord State, Leon would not be able to injure him further even with the Mirror of Sovereign's help. However, he was injured and his left shoulder shattered, so he could no longer fightatn full strength.Leon, on the other hand, did not waste any energy guarding and focused on advancing fiercely.Soon, Eugene found himself in a position where he had no chanceofn fighting back. When he realized that he was no match for Leon, he wanted to run, but could not leave Nigel behind."Stay down!" Leon took advantage of the split second that Eugene was distracted and struck him with a Double Attack.Eugene barely
"Leon, what are you doing? Don't come any closer!" Terrified, Nigel kept backing away."What do you think I'm doing? I've given you the chance to apologize, but you wouldn't take it! If that's the case, there's no mercy for you!" Leon said coldly, before stomping onto Nigel's legs in full force without hesitation."Don't!" Nigel gaped in terror, but before he could say anything else, his bones were shattered. He wailed in misery and passed out immediately."How dare you, Leon?! Just wait. We'll make you pay!" Eugene glared daggers at Leon as he watched Leon destroy Nigel's legs. Despite how desperate he was to tear Leon into shreds, he was severely injured and could not possibly defeat Leon."I'll be waiting to see how you are going to make me pay! Consider this a warning. I won't do anything else to the two of you out of my respect for the first bloodline, but if something like this happens again, I'll eliminate every single one of the members in the second bloodline!" Leon warned
"Leon has a defensive took and only managed to injure me with its help," Eugene explained."A tool? I see!" Realization dawned on Rick as he finally comprehended how Leon could defeat Eugene, who was in the Peak Overlord State."Dad, Leon broke Nigel's legs! You have to avenge Nigel!" Eugene gritted out."What?! Damn you, Leon Wolf! How dare you?!" Enraged, Rick waved his arm and fired up his true energy to attack Leon."Hang on!" Damian jolted and took a step forward to stand before Leon, "Uncle Rick, Nigel was the one at fault here. It's bad enough that Eugene wouldn't listen to reasons and insist on bullying Leon, are you going to bully a junior as well?" Damian questioned sharply."So what if I do? He broke Nigel's legs and injured Eugene deeply. Can't you tell how ruthless he is? I'm going to destroy him to avenge Nigel and Eugene!" Rick roared furiously."It looks like you're determined to make everything his fault! Nigel was the one who started all this and Leon was only d
"Miss Morrison, I would like to thank you for saving my life," Iris said as she approached Renee's bed. She meant to thank Renee for having saved her so narrowly from death during their encounter with one of Brahma's clones, which was why she lingered in Renee's room even after everyone left. "Miss Young, if you would truly like to return the favor, there is something you can do for me," Renee said, biting her lip as though what she was about to say was an excruciatingly difficult decision to make."What is it?" Iris asked, although she felt like she already knew what was the answer. "I would like to join you in being Leon's companions," Renee said with an expectant look. She harbored feelings toward Leon for some time now but refrained from competing against Iris and Cynthia, knowing there was no way she could win. However, she had an epiphany after her narrow escape from death and realized that there was so much more to life than competing with other women over a man. Therefor
"Nothing is impossible! It's high time you accept your fate, you old git! Take this! The Phoenix Sky Fist!" Leon merely scoffed at him. The next moment, he directed one last attack at Wulfric in the form of his most powerful move—the Phoenix Sky Fist, a sage technique belonging to the Heavenly Class!A cloud of pulsating energy charged straight toward Wulfric, without any mercy toward his cries of horror!Its sole intent was to destroy him and put an end to this battle!"No—" Wulfric let out a bloodcurdling scream as he watched, defenseless, as the Phoenix Sky Fist soared toward him. His first instinct was to leap out of harm's way, but Leon was far too powerful for him and anticipated this beforehand. Not to mention the Phoenix Sky Fist was one of the most powerful moves belonging to the Heavenly Class, and there was no possible way he could escape from its wrath.Wulfric's limp body only left a few feet off the ground when the Phoenix Sky Fist crashed into him, rendering his body
"Haha! I've finally attained the Saint State! Now it's time for you to die, you old git!" A glimmer of malice flashed through Leon's eyes. When he fixated his gaze on Wulfric's face, it sent a shudder down Wulfric's entire body, for Leon's eyes were like two pits of deep, dark, sinister hatred. "How cocky of you to say that, you twat! So what if you attained the Saint State? You haven't even got time to harness your powers yet, so you're no match for me! Take this!" Wulfric scoffed, taking no notice of Leon's threats at all. Then, without another moment's hesitation, he sent a powerful surge of energy pummeling Leon's way, intending to destroy Leon while his defenses were low!"He's right. So what if he's attained the Saint State? He can't even control his powers properly," the rest of the Chanters all agreed, and felt rather relieved by this. The glimmer of hope that ignited briefly within Pierre, Zach, and the rest was immediately doused after hearing the Chanters' words. Wulf
"Hahaha! This ends here—once and for all!" Wulfric broke out into a manic cackle of laughter upon seeing Pierre's defeat. The defeat of Pierre, Zach, and his two lackeys had no doubt instilled a newfound triumph in him, for the four of them combined were his greatest opponents thus far, and now that he rendered them powerless, there was no longer anyone in his way!Not even Leon, Percival, Alastair, or the rest of their comrades could defeat him! He and the Chanters would go on, unstopped, to dominate the world!One could only imagine his ecstasy at finally fulfilling his dream at long last!"All hail Master Chanter!""All hail Master Chanter!""All hail Master Chanter!" Aiken and the rest of the Chanters erupted into thunderous applause and cheers of sheer elation. "Oh no!""We can't possibly stand a chance!" Percival, Alastair, and the rest on the good side felt their hearts sink at the thought of their impending doom. Although they outnumbered the Chanters by a significant m
Gulp!Taking advantage of the moment, Leon decisively took out a Holy Spirit Pill and swallowed it. Initially, he intended to use an Essential Detox Pill to help Pierre, Zach, and the other two Semi-Saint State fighters counteract the poison. However, with Pierre injured by Wulfric and Zach along with the other two severely wounded and out of combat, even if he cured them, their side was still doomed to defeat.In this desperate situation, he could only take a gamble. He hoped that, with the breakthrough signs he felt in his martial arts bottleneck, the Holy Spirit Pill would help him break through the sage arts barrier or raise his power level to the Great Crossing Phase. This might be their only chance at victory."Mister Wolf, as long as there's life, there's hope. I'll try my best to hold off Wulfric. You must escape now and find a way to avenge us later."Pierre, enduring his injuries and the poison, stood up with a determined look on his face. He knew that their side was alre
"You're courting death!"Wulfric, enraged by Leon's fierce attack and the slaying of Central Boss, had no choice but to halt his assault on Pierre and the other three momentarily. He turned and unleashed a powerful palm strike, its overwhelming force aimed squarely at Leon's Phoenix Sky Fist.Boom!The collision between Leon's Phoenix Sky Fist and Wulfric's attack was explosive. In an instant, Wulfric's strike shattered Leon's Phoenix Sky Fist, and its residual force hurtled toward Leon."Not good!"Leon’s expression changed drastically as he rapidly tried to evade. However, with Wulfric's Saint State power level, evading was futile. No matter where he ran, he was unable to get out of the attack range. The residual force of Wulfric's true energy struck Leon, sending him flying and crashing heavily to the ground.Cough! Cough!As Leon hit the ground, a wave of intense pain surged through his chest, causing him to cough up two mouthfuls of blood. It was clear he suffered significa
Whoosh!Compared to Percival and Alastair's heavy hearts, Leon remained relatively calm. In the past, he killed Poisonwielder and specifically crafted a potent antidote, the Essential Detox Pill, to counteract Reaper's Breath.He happened to have a few dozen of these pills on him. Though Pierre and the others were poisoned by Reaper's Breath, as long as Leon could get the antidote to them in time, they still stood a chance to win.With this in mind, Leon did not waste any time. He stopped fighting with Central Boss, leaped up, and quickly rushed toward Pierre and the others to deliver the antidote."Leon, are you planning to run away? Well, do you think it's going to be that easy?" Central Boss misunderstood Leon's actions, thinking he intended to escape. Given how much he hated Leon, he was not going to let Leon get away so easily.Without a second thought, Central Boss dashed forward, resolutely blocking Leon once again. With Wulfric having reversed the situation and forcing Pie
"Pierre, you have pushed me to this! Since that's the case, don't blame me for what I'm going to do next! You all can go to hell!" Wulfric's expression turned grim when he saw the Chanter fighters in a dire and dangerous situation. He knew he had to end this battle quickly to avoid significant casualties among the Chanter descendants.Thus, he decided not to hold back. He waved his two hands, releasing two clouds of white mist that surged forward, engulfing Pierre, Zach, and the other two. The white mist transformed into a flurry of powder, like a shower of flowers, enveloping the four of them."What's this?""This is bad, it's poison!"Realizing the unusual nature of the white powder, Pierre and Zach were alarmed.Immediately, the four of them held their breath and swiftly retreated, trying to escape the range of the white mist and powder. Unfortunately, it was too late! The white powder and mist seeped everywhere, and being too close to Wulfric, they already inhaled a signific
"How dare a loser like you be so arrogant? I'll teach you to be humble!"Leon sneered contemptuously. Central Boss clashed with him twice before, each time ending with Central Boss being injured and fleeing. Thus, Leon did not take his attack seriously at all.Without hesitation, he pointed a finger and unleashed the Advanced Earth Class sage technique, Earthly Plunder. Sharp and fierce energy condensed at his fingertip, roaring as it met Central Boss's attack head-on!Bang!Leon's Earthly Plunder clashed solidly with Central Boss's Soul-Piercing Claw in a violent collision. However, unlike previous encounters, this time Leon's technique did not break through Central Boss's attack; instead, it was shattered by it!Not only that! The Dragon Pill he recently took did not fully manifest itself yet, so not only did Central Boss's Soul-Piercing Claw shatter Leon's Earthly Plunder but also sent him staggering back.Leon struggled to regain his footing, retreating three or four steps be
