"As expected!" "That kid's running out of tricks!" The three Apostles were all excited to see Leon running. Though they all assumed that the defensive tool Leon owned ran out of time to be used, that was merely an assumption, seeing how Leon ran from taking their attacks, they realized they might have been right. "Take this!" Their spirits were all uplifted and they immediately merged their true energy to form a bigger attack, before sending it toward Leon. Leon knew that the Mirror of Sovereign could not fend off the combined attack and darted away, before charging toward the three Apostles; if he managed to get closer, he could stop the attack. However, the three Apostles were all individuals with significant experience in battle, so they instantly caught Leon's intention. According to the Southern Boss's order, they were only meant to stall Leon and none of them intended to face him directly. They darted in different directions, before finding their way back to one a
"Watch out, Mister Wolf!" Yuri and Augus were both shocked that Leon stopped running around. They all witnessed how Leon struggled under the combined attacks of the three Apostles, and like the Southern Boss, they assumed that Leon ran out of time to use his defensive tool. Thankfully, Leon's Phantom Steps allowed him to evade the three Apostles, yet Leon gave up his advantage in speed and attempted to take the combined attack directly to save Arthur. Both shocked and worried, Iris, Cynthia, and the others watched as the Apostles' attacks merged into a gigantic blade of energy, before piercing through the air toward Leon. They almost fainted at the sight. "Arrogant brat! He must've decided to give up because he ran out of options!" ...Contrary to how Yuri and the others felt, the Southern Boss and Devon stared at Leon with a sneer as though Leon was already dead. They all knew that the three Apostles were extremely powerful and even with the defensive tool, Leon could no
"Wh- What's this?!" The three Apostles gasped in fear. They finally realized that Leon took their attack to launch an even more powerful counter-attack. Caught by surprise, they snapped out of it after a moment of daze and backed away from the attack. However, the Hurricane Break was a wide-range attack and no matter how hard they tried, they simply could not escape it. On top of that, Leon risked his own life to launch the attack while the three Apostles were on the momentum of their attacks, so it was too late for them to summon any strength for a counter-attack. They watched with fear as the Hurricane Break transformed into countless turbulences that pierced through their bodies, before exploding within them. Unable to even scream, their bodies were blown apart. "What?!" "How's that possible?!" Everyone, including the Southern Boss, Devon, and the Thompsons, was stunned. They all thought that Leon ran out of time to use his defensive tool and was powerless in the
"Damn it! Elder Hilton, we need to kill Arthur right now. Don't give him a chance to recover!" The Southern Boss's expression darkened as he reminded Devon. The Four Apostles were the head executives among the Spears and the foundations for the Southern Boss's power in the southern region. Seeing how Leon killed the Four Apostles, the Southern Boss desperately wished he could tear Leon into pieces, but he knew that this was not a time for him to lose his composure. At the moment, he needed to kill Arthur before Leon could come to his rescue, or he and Devon would lose their chances once Leon join forces with Arthur. Without hesitation, the Southern Boss leaped and executed the Divine Kick, sending a powerful blow toward Arthur in an attempt to kill him. "Damn it! Here goes nothing!" Arthur paled. He was on the verge of being defeated under the Southern Boss and Devon's combined attack, and since the Southern Boss was placing all his strength on this final attack, Arthur fou
"Baam!" Following a deafening sound, Leon's attack clashed with Devon's and was torn by Devon's overpowering true energy. Leon did not panic and simply titled his body to take the aftermath with the Mirror of Sovereign, all the while launching a Double Attack with his true energy in the Intermediate Overlord State to attack Devon. "How swift!" Shocked, Devon gasped. He never expected Leon to be so fast and manage to rescue Arthur in time. Caught off guard, he was instantly sent flying by Leon's double attack. A sharp pain pierced through his chest upon landing and he realized that he was injured. Thankfully, Leon was injured by the Four Apostles twice and Leon's power level was hardly high enough, the Double Attack did not cause severe injuries; if it were any way else, Devon would have died right on the spot. Seeing as Devon was stopped by Leon right before he could kill Arthur, the Southern Boss was furious. "Damn it! Leon, how dare you get in my way over and over again
"You aren't going anywhere!" The Southern Boss said maliciously. He knew that Leon's Phantom Steps were formidable, but the Southern Boss himself was hardly slow either. As Leon backed away, the Southern Boss hurried after him and sent a wave of powerful true energy toward Leon. Though Leon dodged in time, he was one moment too late and took a blow to his chest. "Baam!" Following a gigantic noise, Leon's Mirror of Sovereign overloaded under the Southern Boss's attack, and Leon was instantly sent flying. He landed hard on the ground and puked blood from his mouth. Thankfully, the Mirror of Sovereign shielded off most of the impact and he merely suffered mild internal injuries. "Die, kid!" The Southern Boss launched another attack at Leon's head. He knew that Leon had a defensive tool that seemed to be usable for unlimited times, which caught him by surprise. However, nothing mattered before absolute power; As powerful as the defensive tool might be, it could not protec
"It's over!" Devon gasped when he sensed Leon approaching. Leon just killed the Four Apostles on his own, and based on Leon's showcase of power earlier, Devon already knew that he could not win against Leon. Not daring to take Leon's attack directly, Devon darted away, but since Leon wielded the Phantom Steps, he fell short in terms of speed. Though he managed to evade a few attacks, he soon found himself backing away with no chance of fighting back. If this continued, Devon would not last long and might suffer the same fate as the Four Apostles. Naturally, the Southern Boss was struggling as well. Without Devon's help, the Southern Boss could hardly stand a chance of defeating Arthur. After a brief exchange, the Southern Boss soon found himself in a defensive position and would soon face defeat. "Southern Boss, Leon, and Arthur are too powerful. We won't win! Think of something, or we'll both die today," Devon shouted; The arrogant look on his face vanishing without a trac
Leon and Arthur soon saw the face of the person who appeared out of nowhere. "That's the Demon Lord!" The other party was a middle-aged man of about fifty years old, with half of his face covered by a demon mask, concealing his appearance. Several strands of strangely located grey hair hang down from his forehead; his aura was chilling and sharp, giving off a faint, murderous vibe, evoking an extremely dangerous and sinister feeling. At first glance, it was evident that he is no ordinary person. Everyone was shocked once they recognized that they were staring at the Demon Lord, the criminal ranking third place on the criminal list. Though the Demon Lord hid in the central region and none of them ever saw him in person, the Dragon Corps published photos and details about the Demon Lord, displaying the demon mask he wore and the strands of grey hair as the Demon Lord's unique features. Through those features, the others instantly recognized who he was. "Leon, Old Thompson,
