Chapter 599 - Manly Man (1/2)

Seeing Aina's reaction, Leonel grinned and suddenly jumped down from the tree, a massive spear suddenly appearing in his hands.

This spear was none other than the one he likened to a hammer. But in this situation… It was perfect.

Leonel's eyes flashed, a golden Domain spreading out around him. In that instant, not only did he become ten times heavier, but so did the over 5000-pound spear in his hand.

The red-nosed bear suddenly sensed something. It looked up into the skies, a snarl taking over its features.

It rose to its hind legs, roaring to the point of foggy, spittle filled breath assaulting Leonel.

A strong red Force erupted around the bear, its body growing a size as its fur stood on end.

It swiped a paw at the descending Leonel, imagining smashing this pesky human into meat paste.

But, at the instant spear and paw met, an overwhelming strength assaulted the bear. Its bones creaked and groaned, before reaching their breaking point and suddenly snapping.

A cry of pain left the beast, but its crimson gaze only seemed to become even more so.

Leonel shifted his weight until it was as light as a feather, landing on the ground with subtle steps before shooting forward.

He gripped the massive spear with both hand, his palms and fingers not large enough to even wrap all the way around its shaft. Yet, he wielded it as though it was no different from an extension of himself.

Leonel sent a strong sweep across, pressing down on the injured beast.

At that moment, he suddenly winced, feeling the fine cracks in his ribs he had been ignoring to this point.

His attack slowed by just a margin, allowing the red-nosed bear to erupt with an even stronger red Force. The beast's healthy paw swung downward, coated by a blazing energy.

The air in the surroundings heated up, the billowing roars of the bear tearing through the forest's canopy.

BANG!

The two attacks collided.

Leonel's feet sunk into the soft soil, his knees bending and buckling.

This beast's strength was no small matter. Leonel could tell why the old man had chosen it to be among those that carried the golden tags.

By Leonel's estimation, this beast was at least as strong as a City Lord of Terrain which was about Tier 6 of the Fourth Dimension.

Of course, Terrain wasn't exactly known for its talent, so its standard of Tier 6 was much lower than that of other worlds.

Still, this kind of beast was difficult for Leonel to defeat without using the Four Seasons Realm, activating his Runes, or using his Dreamscape Battle Sense. Without the help of these factors, Leonel believed that he was actually far worse than this bear. He was only now bridging the gap thanks to two things.

The first was his ability. Even without Dreamscape Battle Sense, Leonel's senses were far beyond what most could even aspire to, let alone claim to have. So his reactions and calculations in battle were perfect.

The second was the most obvious… His weapon.

Leonel was using a Quasi Bronze weapon, a treasure a half step from the Fifth Dimension, against a beast in the middling Fourth Dimensional realms. There was no wonder he was able to stand his ground.

If this was all, things would be fine. Leonel would still be confident in defeating this beast without tapping into his true strength. But, unfortunately… He was still injured.

Just as Leonel was about to clash with the bear again, a shadow suddenly fell from the skies and landed before him. The shadow seemed to only shift slightly, but the roaring of the bear came to an end, just as quickly.
