Chapter 357: Never Forget (2/2)

The group snickered.

”Oh, looks like someone is going to try? Huh? Is that boy really in the Third Dimension?”

They had been so lost in their own worlds that it was only now they noticed that the young man teaching Jerach his place was actually within the Third Dimension.

For one, they had never heard of a person in the Third Dimension even making it through the pressure of the Gates. Though the pressure was adjusted based on strength, there was still a minimum requirement for foundation. They had simply never seen someone within the Third Dimension meet these standards.

And, secondly, anyone who could make a fool out of Jerach should definitely be a monster.

The only reason they hadn't paid more attention to Leonel before despite this was because the City Lord system was declining harshly. Though Jerach had some fame, they all docked him several points simply by virtue of this.

Why would they care about someone who was only beating someone they didn't care much about to begin with? Would you care about the power of someone capable of stomping an ant to death?

”He…”

BANG!

At that moment, Leonel's palm touched the tall doors, his robes and hair billowing.

Jerach, who was already hardly able to stand on his own two feet, was blasted flying, rolling in the dirt until he slowly landed before the feet of the two women who were still a good distance from the Gates.

Leonel felt a force trying to rip his arm apart. Strong energies surged toward him, but they rebounded off his body like crossing blades, filling the air with the sound of harsh sharpening metal.

BANG!

The ground beneath Leonel's feet cracked slightly. Fine lines raced across, meeting together and separating just as quickly as they spread outward.

Leonel closed his eyes.

He could sense the five levels of the door. In fact, it wasn't much different from the scene he saw when unlocking his Metal Synergy Lineage Factor.

Soldier. General. Royal. King. Emperor.

The whole city quaked.

Leonel thought of waiting for Jerach to go first again. But, after seeing his poor performance, Leonel felt that it was beneath him to even need such a person to contrast himself with. He simply served no purpose.

In that case, he would make it a one man show.

His singular palm rested the door. He could feel it pushing back against him, wanting to throw him away the very same way Jerach had been.

Leonel's eyes shot open. Bronze Runes raced across his body, a halo of bronze violet appearing above his head.

Those with Lineage Factors suddenly felt their hearts tremble, their blood running in reverse.

”Open.”

BANG!

The scene was one those watching would never forget.
