Just then, Crowley decided to abandon his duel with Patrick when he saw that Fergus was in danger, and leaped toward Leon’s direction."Die, you little bast*rd!" He roared and gathered his energy to form a powerful attack at Leon's back."How despicable!" Patrick gaped. He did not expect Crowley to attack Leon and did not have the time to stop him.However, Leon was a capable martial artist who defeated two Martells in the Intermediate Emperor State, so he was not overly worried."Leon, watch out!" Iris, Cynthia, and the others shouted.Benedict and George, who sensed that Crowley was a martial artist in the Intermediate Emperor State, paled at the sight.Judging from what they saw so far, Leon was in the Initial Emperor State at best; since Crowley was on a higher power level and had the element of surprise, Leon could not possibly survive the blow.Worried, they all prayed that Leon would dodge the attack in time."Take this, kid!" Fergus stopped backing away and charged towa
Contrary to their despair, Wade was overjoyed and beamed. "Great! It's over!"He knew that Leon possessed a defensive tool, but he assumed that it only contained power at the Peak Overlord State, which could not possibly withstand the attack from a martial artist in the Intermediate Emperor State.Believing that Crowley would split Leon in half with his attack, all the Libertons were excited.Once Leon was eliminated, the Scammells would be at an absolute disadvantage and would be powerless before the Libertons.However, what happened next caused them to freeze in shock."Baam!"Crowley's energy struck Leon in the chest but did not injure Leon or even move him at all."You're the one who is going to die, old man! Take this!" Leon scoffed and seized the opportunity to strike back."Wh- What on earth is this?!" Crowley gaped as he did not imagine in his wildest dream that Leon would be able to withstand his attack.If he did not see it with his own eyes, he would have never beli
"T- That's not possible! Can it be that the tool Leon has isn't in the Peak Overlord State, but in the Emperor State?" Wade mumbled to himself as realization dawned on him.Leon was only in the Semi-Emperor State and there was no way that he could withstand an attack from Crowley unless the defensive tool was at the same level of strength as Crowley.He realized that he underestimated Leon and his defensive tool, so he immediately informed Crowley about it. "Dad, the defensive tool Leon possesses might be in the Emperor State.""What? Wh- Why didn't you say that earlier?" Crowley was instantly enraged and was frustrated that Wade did not think of mentioning it until both he and Fergus were severely injured.If they knew about it, Leon would have never been able to defeat them with such ease."I just guessed it!" Wade paled.He once managed to injure Leon when he first fought Leon, so he assumed that the defensive tool Leon possessed was in the Peak Overlord State and did not expe
As Patrick re-entered the battle, the spirit of the Scammells rose and since Patrick was the only one in the Intermediate Emperor State, he managed to defeat most of the Libertons.Despite having the advantage of numbers, the Libertons began to lose the will to fight after Crowley and Fergus were defeated.Soon, the situation began to play to the Scammells' advantage."Draw back!" The three elders of the Libertons realized that they were losing and ordered the others to retreat.The Libertons instantly obeyed and backed away."It's fine. Don't bother chasing after them!" Patrick stopped a few Scammells who wanted to go after the Libertons.Over half of the Scammells who came suffered severe injuries and Patrick knew that he would not be able to eliminate every last Liberton even if he went after them with the remaining members of the Scammells.On top of that, the ones who retreated were ordinary members of the family and whether Leon won was the most important.Crowley was the
"Baam!"Leon's second wave of true energy sent Crowley flying and he lay sprawled across the ground with blood oozing from his mouth. "Wh- What just happened?" He muttered.Just as Leon tried to deliver the finishing blow, Crowley released a bag of transparent powder that had no color or scent."The Veratrum poison!" Leon's expression darkened as he recognized that it was the Veratrum poison, which combined the poisonous properties of multiple plants. He immediately held his breath, but it was already too late.He already accidentally inhaled the powder, so he immediately pressed into the compression points around his chest and shoulders to seal them, actively preventing the poison from infiltrating his organs."Haha! I didn't expect you to know about the Veratrum poison. Not bad!" Crowley coughed and glared at Leon with a ferocious look.He happened upon a recipe claimed to be for the Veratrum poison a few years ago, and was slightly surprised that someone as young as Leon would
"What? So you added blood sage and motherworts inside!" Leon was shocked. After that, he pinched up a bit of the Deadly Veratrum poison on his body to observe it, quickly seeing that there was added blood sage and motherworts.Veratrum poison had Veratrum inside, it was something that both reacted against and enhanced the sage.With the blood sage working with the Veratrum and against it, it can quickly trigger the poison within the Veratrum poison!As for the motherwort, it was quite a rare and valuable spiritual herb. It was also a dark and cold herb.If used in medicine, it was an amazing herb that could save the lives of many!However, when applied to poison, the motherwort was able to increase the poisonous properties of the Veratrum poison tenfold, causing the blood to choke up the body, becoming fatal!"How did you know I added motherwort and blood sage?" Crowley was shocked.The Libertons were medical suppliers, so he knew many of his products like the back of his hand!
"Leo, are you alright?" Iris and Cynthia were shocked to hear that Leon was poisoned. After that, they quickly rushed over with Benedict and the rest, wanting to check on Leon."Iris, don't touch him. Leon has quite a lot of poison on his body, you shouldn't touch him," Gilbert said in a hurry, worried that Iris and Cynthia would accidentally get poisoned by Leon a panic."Mister Young, it's fine. The motherwort is an incredibly cold herb. Under the sunlight, it'll stop working in a minute or two. This powder is no longer poisonous, don't worry," Loen explained simply.The Deadly Veratrum poison was able to achieve its fatal effect mainly thanks to the motherwort.As long as the motherwort was no longer effective, it was no longer a big problem."That's good!"Gilbert, Benedict, and the others breathed a sigh of relief.However, they could not help but worry about the fact that Leon was poisoned, and did not know what to do.Iris and Cynthia in particular were about to cry, "
"Who said that there is no cure for the Veratrum poison and the Deadly Veratrum poison? Others might not be able to cure it, but it's incredibly easy for me to do that!" Leon said calmly.He was at an incredibly important point in reversing the poison. He just needed to stall for as much time as possible!"Brat, you sure can brag! Who do you think you are, to be able to cure the Veratrum poison?!" Crowley laughed in an exaggerated manner.The Veratrum poison was ancient, and it was amazing because there was no cure for it!An insignificant young man like Leon wanting to cure the poison was just completely delusional!"You'll know very soon if I'm bragging or not! Uncle, come over and let that old dog see if I have the ability to cure it or not!" Leon sneered before motioning for Damian to walk over."Damian's legs have been healed? H-how is this possible?!" Seeing Damian walk over without any problems, Crowley was shocked. His jaw almost dropped to the ground!Damian's legs slow
