Chapter 247: Peak Spear (2/2)

He was losing… in strength?

The only thing that kept him going was the idea that Leonel should be worse off. After all, he was a human. How could his body compare to a mighty Demon Minotaur's?

Unfortunately… reality was cruel.

In the past several weeks, Leonel's body had already reached the standard of a Weak Third Dimension metal. With his Runes activated, trying to harm him was just like trying to cut apart an unrefined ore.

The first stage of refining his Metal Body was separated by the Dimensions. Within the Third Dimension, the tiers were separated into Weak, Standard, Strong, Superior and Perfect. Only by opening the eighth door would one be able to reach the Superior standing and only those that opened the ninth would be able to reach Perfection. However, even the weakest Weak standing was enough to drive an opponent mad.

While Gorgo's body felt as though it might break down at any moment, Leonel only felt slightly numb. Only the weakest parts of his body like his wrists and ankles felt any real discomfort.

In Leonel's current state… wielding a heavy weapon like his black spear couldn't have felt any better!

Gorgo shrunk back, completely deactivating his void Force. Usually, others would try to run from him, so his suction technique was a death sentence to all. Yet, now, it was nothing but a detriment to himself.

His heart sank when he saw the chips and cracking of the ax in his hand. Was the difference between their weapons really so great? He felt that in just a few more strikes, the companion that had followed him for so many decades would meet its end right here.

'Dammit!' Gorgo shouted in his mind.

How had he been so unlucky to come across such an abnormal little baby boy?! Even the weapon he wielded was heavier than his own!

Suddenly, Leonel's spear tip shook, a faint light coating its surface.

Gorgo's expression changed. Reacting quickly, he used his ax to protect his chest.

PCHU! CRACK!

A pain trembled Gorgo's heart. He watched as Leonel's spear embedded itself into his ax. Though it didn't pass all the way through, such a crack meant the end of a weapon.

Gorgo explosively retreated beneath the shocked gazes of the armies around.

Others may not know it, but after today they surely would. The reason Leonel lost so badly to Lamorak wasn't just because of his crystallized Force, but also because his weapon couldn't hold a candle to the Grand Knight's.

Though Leonel would have still lost had he had this spear back then, it wouldn't have been so quickly. And, now that he had begun to crystallize his own Force and had such a weapon in hand… He had no intention of losing to the Demon Lord before him!

”BOY! I'll go all out with you!”

A dense black Force erupted around Gorgo. It felt as though his body had become the center of a black hole, causing everything to surge toward him.

Wind whipped around wildly. If it wasn't for the fact Leonel was holding such a heavy spear, he might have been sent flying toward the minotaur Demon Lord as well.

Leonel's eyes shone. 'This must be a knight technique of this world…'
