"I don't know what's going on. Can it be that his tool holds more power than the Peak Overlord State? How is that possible?" Willie was stunned and confused.The strength of a tool usually remained unchanged and he assumed that the tool was only at the Peak Overlord State after Leon was injured by Wade, yet Leon managed to defeat a Semi-Emperor with a tool at the Peak Overlord State.It was so far beyond his understanding that he struggled to comprehend the situation.What he was unaware of was that the Mirror of Sovereign was not an ordinary treasure, but a super treasure with power that increased as the wielder’s power increased, which was something that Willie could not begin to fantom."Whatever, forget it! A tool is just a tool and there's nothing to fear! Let's see how far he gets with just a tool!" The Third Elder said coldly.The Third Elder lived long enough to develop a vast knowledge of treasure.Both defensive and offensive tools required an incredible amount of time
"Leon, watch out!" Cynthia paled at the sight of all the martial artists charging toward them; she kept her arms wrapped around Leon's neck as her heart sank.To protect Cynthia, Leon could not evade all attacks and was struck by a few of them. Thankfully, he was experienced in battle and reacted swiftly to fend off the attacks with the Mirror of Sovereign to avoid suffering actual damage."Haha! He's at his wit's end!"The Third Elder and Willie burst out laughing when they saw how discomfited Leon seemed. However, what happened next shook them to their cores."Anyone who stands in my way dies!" Leon scoffed and finally started to fight back.As the Dragon Pill took effect, Leon's power rose to the very top of the Semi-Emperor State with rivals below the Emperor State, and the power of Mirror of Sovereign rose to the Intermediate Emperor State as well, which made Leon far more superior the group of martial artists before him.Instead of backing away, he darted toward one of the
"Great! Kill the little bast*rd!" Willie sneered as hope returned to his eyes.He knew that with enemies in all directions, Leon could no longer escape no matter how powerful he was unless there was a miracle.Just as he was absorbed in his fantasy, what happened next destroyed his last hope."Baam!"Following a deafening noise, Leon fended off the Third Elder's attack with his spiritual energy and launched the Double Attack with his true energy in the Initial Supreme State, sending his fists toward the Third Elder at the speed of lightning."T- This isn't possible!" The Third Elder gasped in disbelief at the sight before him.He thought that Leon ran out of time to use the defensive tool and would not be capable of surviving his attack. To his bewilderment, not only did Leon do so with ease, he managed to launch yet another attack within a matter of seconds.The Third Elder was still in the momentum of his first attack and despite his attempt to dodge Leon's attack, he was help
"Enough with your arrogance, brat! You only manage to survive this long with the help of your defensive tool! That's not going to help you if you're facing me!" The Third Elder roared as he backed away from Leon's attack.After observing the duel between Leon and the Fourth Elder, the Third Elder concluded that Leon was in the Intermediate or Advanced Overlord State, so he fell short in speed and explosive power compared to the Fourth Elder. However, the Fourth Elder was defeated with the help of Leon's defensive tool.Thinking that Leon would never be able to catch up with him, the Third Elder was certain that he could not be defeated, only to be proven wrong in the next instant.Leon disappeared in the air and reappeared right before the Third Elder."What speed! How? How's this possible?" Terrified, the Third Elder widened his eyes in disbelief.Leon became more powerful, and his speed increased to the point that he surpassed Third Elder.It was hardly an overstatement to say
"Mister Willie, this kid's too powerful! You need to get back up!" The Third Elder reminded Willie."Oh, that's right!" Willie snapped out of the initial shock.Though Leon displayed incredible strength, he was in the Initial Emperor State at best.They were in the heart of the Libertons Mansion with countless capable martial artists and the head of the first and second bloodlines were both extremely formidable.If Willie could get to the front yard to seek the others' help, Leon's demise would be certain.He immediately shouted at the remaining martial artists who could still fight and said, "Stall Leon! I'm going to get help!" He then darted off and ran toward the front yard with all his might."Trying to run? Not so soon!" Leon scoffed and leaped into the air with one arm around Cynthia to go after Willie."That's enough, kid!"The other Libertons immediately stood in his way."Get out of my way!" Leon roared and flung his arm, sending a giant wave of energy toward them."
"Stop!"Just then, a roar echoed in the air and Crowley strode in with forty martial artists from the front yard.The noises and Willie's cries for help finally alerted his grandfather and Crowley immediately headed toward the garden but was still one step too late."Grandpa, you're finally here! Help me!" Willie was overjoyed when he saw Crowley and instantly started pleading for help hysterically."I suppose you're Leon Wolf? Let Willie go right now!" Crowley glared daggers at Leon.To eliminate the Scammells and Leon, he arranged for most of the family martial artists in the front yard but placed the Third and Fourth Elder along with a dozen martial artists in the inner courtyard for safety measures.Crowley did not know how Loen managed to get past the two elders and capture Willie, and he could not see the Third Elders and the others around; however, he knew that Leon was young and was merely a relative of the Scammells, so there was no way that he could possibly compare to
"You wouldn't dare!" Leon's expression darkened and he immediately stood before Cynthia protectively.After taking the Dragon Pill, his power level rose and he had no fear for anyone in the Intermediate Emperor State or below. However, the Libertons outnumbered him and if they swarmed at him to capture Cynthia, Leon might not be able to protect her on his own."This is your last chance, kid. If you know what's best for you, you'll let Willie go right now and I might consider sparing your life, or I'll make sure that you die screaming!" Crowley threatened.Since Willie's life was hanging by a thread, Crowley was concerned that Leon might choose to risk everything, so he tried to negotiate with Leon with the hope that he could convince Loen into letting Willie go."That's not happening! No one takes a step forward, or I'll kill Willie! We both lose!" Leon said coldly without care for Crowley's threat.He already told Iris to seek help from the Scammells before coming. Since the Scam
Once Leon regrouped with the Scammells, he let go of Cynthia."Cynthia, are you alright?"Both Benedict and Harvey were relieved and instantly hurried over to check on her."I'm fine. Why are you all in the southern region, Grandpa?" Cynthia was shocked to see her family here."We came to deliver herbs to Leon and dropped by to see you," Benedict explained, before scanning her up and down.Once he and Harvey confirmed that Cynthia was indeed safe and unharmed, they visibly relaxed.Meanwhile, Leon dragged Willie toward Ruth and George, before tossing him before Ruth roughly. "Ruth, I've brought the man who insulted and hurt you here! Do whatever you want to him!" Leon said.Ruth once reminded him to keep Willie alive because she wanted to seek revenge on her own, which was one of the reasons why he did not kill Willie. "Great! You're brilliant, Leon. You never disappoint!" Ruth said cheerfully.Willie, who was arrogant and powerful, was now at Leon's mercy and the sight pleas
