Chapter 305: Perfect (2/2)
Blood and brain matter fell from his headless shoulders. And, not long later, his body slumped to the ground, keeling over.
Leonel stared forward for a long while, not knowing what to say or do.
In the end, he could only shake his head and sigh.
Was it something about this world that made people act like this? He really wished he could do something about it…
When Leonel regained his bearings, his gaze turned cold as it swept toward the one person he had left alive – Big Buddha.
By now, the large man had long since stopped laughing. His gaze looked dull, he only slightly trembled when he noticed that Leonel was looking toward him.
”Was it worth it?” Leonel asked.
He didn't know why he asked. He didn't expect to get anything out of it, yet he did so anyway.
”Ha…” Big Buddha chuckled. ”… You're alive, how could it be?”
Leonel shook his head before piercing Big Buddha's throat with an arrow. He looked up toward the ceiling of the castle and sighed.

At that moment, within the Merlin Trial grounds, everyone was waiting silently.
Those who hadn't gone had made a strategic choice. After all, not going was essentially like gaining a free 24 hours of rest. Such a break was incredibly rare during the trials. Obviously, the recovery rewards simply weren't enough, especially for those who chose to use the energy more toward cultivation rather than toward healing themselves.
Like this, many kept to themselves. Some tried to pry into the Segmented Cube Leonel left behind, but it was too difficult to cross the void to reach it. Plus, even if they did, they thought that since Leonel dared to leave it here, it was likely something they couldn't pry into all that easily to begin with.
Soon, the time limit approach and many began to go on alert again. Those who had lived through the Random Event should be coming back any time now.
'That boy, he's probably dead, right?'
Most were thinking along these lines. Though the choice to go wasn't made public, it was pretty obvious by those who were here.
Two top four Demon Lords had gone along with seven other lower ranked Demon Lords. On top of that, there was Lamorak who had clearly disappeared as well and he had even taken what seemed like a small troop of humans. That boy was finished.
King Arthur looked up from his meditation with indifferent eyes. He wasn't thinking about whether or not Leonel survived, this was a foregone conclusion in his mind. He was thinking about how he would get his hands on the Segmented Cube afterward.
Unlike others, this wasn't a matter of greed for him. It was rather about the little girl.
King Arthur knew Pope Margrave well and he had information channels monitoring The Church. This little girl seemed to be very important to the Pope, he just didn't know why. Since he couldn't understand, it was better that he controlled this card in his hand.
As he was lost in thought, a small flash of light swept through.

<Trial Grade: Perfect>
At that moment, dozens of pairs of eyes landed on a young man who appeared with an indifferent expression, his clothes ripped and covered with blood. He held his bow in his hand and swept an unperturbed gaze over those stunned gazes.
Leonel had returned.
