Wren unsheathed his sword. His grip tightened around the hilt, but his arms were trembling.
Leon moved, his figure leaving behind a blur.
Whoooosh!
Wren swung his sword with everything he had. A bit of sword aura was emitting too. But that little amount meant nothing to Leon. He closed in, twisted his body a little as he dodged the whistling blade, and then drove his fist into Wren’s stomach.
"Blarrghhhhh." He coughed up a mouthful of blood as his grip around the sword loosened. And then...
He was sent flying.
Leon wanted to charge after Wren, but two more knights attacked him at once.
"Dragon saber." One of them shouted as he swung his straightened palm, which resembled a saber.
The other one was carrying a spear. He thrust the spear forward explosively.
As Leon’s perception had increased, so had the range of his Spirit Zone. The moment they had closed in, Leon was already aware of their presence.
Leon pressed his toe against the ground and ducked. The spearhead sliced through the air above him.
The saber-like palm appeared almost immediately. Leon raised his forearm like a shield. And then...
Bam!
His fist shot out like a cannonball and slammed into the attacker’s face. The impact blasted the attacker away.
His leg shot out next, kicking the one with the spear mercilessly.
Whoooooosh! The spear was tossed in the air as he was sent flying.
Leon stood straight, an overwhelming aura radiating from him. He didn’t make a move, yet it forced everyone to take a step back.
He had already slaughtered two Disaster Class knights like they were nothing. So what could S-Class knights do?
Wren walked up to Hazel. "Hazel, inform the clan master. Tell your father, we need immediate help." He grabbed her wrist in a pleading manner.
But Hazel yanked her hand free. "I don’t want to be a part of this. You can go ahead and try on your own. Weren’t you and the elder so hell-bent on getting the pill in any way possible? Why are you asking for reinforcement now?"
Meanwhile, among the remaining opponents, two were mages.
One of them started chanting, and immediately tree branches burst out from the ground. They shot toward Leon and started wrapping themselves around his limbs.
The other one also raised a staff and started throwing air blades at Leon.
Leon didn’t panic and only uttered two words. "Ice domain."
An ice wall erupted from the ground between him and the incoming blades.
Thwack!
Thwack!
Thwack!
Those air blades struck the ice wall one after another. Shards of ice rained, but the wall didn’t fall.
Meanwhile, ice spikes erupted from the ground where those two mages were standing as well. Multiple spikes pierced through their bodies.
Schlk!
Schlk!
Schlk!
Dead! Both of them.
"Everyone." Amber suddenly shouted. "Attack him at once. Don’t give him the chance to think." She wanted to overwhelm Leon with numbers. After all, this move would have worked even against Sylus Moure. Leon was definitely stronger than him. Far, far stronger. But she still believed if all of them attacked at once, then they could definitely win.
Others reacted. They didn’t have any other option at this moment anyway.
Two brandished their swords.
One brought out a war hammer.
Others also brought out different kinds of weapons. And then... They all charged at Leon from every direction at once.
Dust rose from the ground; energy shimmered. All had released their killing intent. Whether for the blood essence or just to save their own ass, they had to kill Leon no matter what.
In the distance, Snow and Emily watched everything with their breath held. Sol wasn’t blinking either.
Snow’s uncle’s mouth hung open.
As everyone was closing in on Leon, he used the sixth form again. Invisible arcs of sword aura sliced the tree branches wrapping around his limbs.
Then, he calmly raised his black claymore, the sword tip pointing at the sky. "Seventh form.
Sword rain." His voice echoed.
Energy shimmered in the sky as multiple swords materialized. A melodious hum spread as they vibrated.
A few of the knights stopped as they felt the energy being radiated from the sky. The moment they looked up, their faces paled.
Others didn’t stop. They knew Leon was about to unleash an attack, and they had to reach Leon and kill him before he could unleash it. That was the only way to live.
But could their speed be enough?
Leon swung the sword down.
Whooosh!
Whoooosh!
Whoooosh!
The swords rained down like divine judgment.
Schlk! One sword pierced the skull of one.
Two more pierced another, making a cross.
Boooom! The swords that didn’t have any target exploded on the ground.
As one body fell after another, dust and smoke swallowed the whole place.
Within just three to four seconds, everyone was down. Except for Wren, who had run up to Hazel and wanted to call for backup, everyone was now a corpse.
Emily and Snow’s mouths also hung open at the moment.
"What kind of sword moves are these?" Emily whispered. She was a swordswoman herself. Yet the techniques Leon had just displayed weren’t merely something she had never seen before. She had never even heard of anything like them.
Leon then turned toward Wren and Hazel. They both froze with fear.
Meanwhile, back at Leon’s house...
"Miss Lamia, Master is already back from the Red Horn’s Nest. I should hurry up and bring him back." Noira said.
Lamia, Frenrir, and Jenny were also present.
"Brother is back? Then leave already." Jenny said hurriedly.
Frenrir wore a puzzled expression as he stared at Lamia. ’Why did she tell us not to bring Master yet?’ He wondered.
Lamia wore a serious expression at the moment. Her eyes were fixed on the air before them.
Suddenly, she spoke. "Everyone, prepare yourselves. They are here."
The air before them rippled slightly. It started and stopped immediately. But then it started again, and a hole tore through the air as energy shimmered along the opening.
Seven people emerged from the rift. Frenrir and Noira felt their blood turn cold. They could feel it. The aura these seven were radiating was overwhelming... Suffocating. Especially six of them.
"Who’s the one with the Zenekian blood?" One of them asked.
"That one." One of them pointed at Jenny.
"Then kill the rest and take her."
