Chapter 38 - Shall we start? (2/2)

Transforming his arm into a sword, Leo cut towards the barrier.

* Crash

His ”sword” collided with the barrier and only left a small cut.

Seeing as his attack did nothing, Leo moved his ”sword” even faster short toward the barrier.

”Mn ... It's quite resistant to physical attacks” Leo thought as he looked at the barrier. The barrier was almost intact except for a few small cuts on its surface.

Curious, Leo moved his hand and a small flame appeared in the palm of his hand. Placing his hand on top of the barrier, Leo slowly increased the size of the flame until the barrier was completely consumed by the flames.

”It is also resistant to spells and is capable of regeneration. You must be kidding right, this damn thing is almost impenetrable” Leo murmured. Even after a flame bath, the barrier was still in perfect condition and even the small cuts caused by his ”sword” had disappeared.

”Nothing works against this thing and trying to analyze it is impossible with my current capabilities but if magic and physical attacks don't work against it, it's time to take out the heavy artillery,” Leo thought with a while rubbing his chin.

Waving his hand, a black flame appeared on his finger. Bringing his finger closer to the barrier, he watched how the flame slowly melted the barrier before the barrier would light up and attempt to regenerate.

”Even the purgatory fire is not capable of destroying it,” Leo muttered in shock.

The barrier did not seem to want to give up and continued trying to regenerate but after a while, its brightness dimmed and its regeneration visibly slowed down.

”If I leave it like this, it will be long before I can destroy the barrier,” Leo muttered. So he let the little flame do its work as he tried to figure out how the barrier was able to withstand his dark matter attacks and even the fire from purgatory would take quite a long time. Also, Leo had an idea of ​​who the person inside the barrier was and that made everything quite troublesome.

”Oh ... I almost forgot. I have not yet examined the memories of the exorcists.”

As he was investigating the teleportation spell and the barrier, Leo completely forgot to examine the memories of the souls he ate.

Debating whether or not he should look at the memories, he finally closed his eyes and resigned himself to seeing the memories even though he knew that he would not like what he would see.

Inside his mind, he navigated his mental passage until he reached an area made up of various points of light. Before it entered the exorcists' memories, he looked at a small sphere of light that was very close to several strange symbols.

'It should be time for me to build my sacred treasure.'

Leaving those thoughts behind, Leo's mind wandered for a few seconds before refocusing his attention on the souls of the exorcists.

”It's the moment”

After an unknown time interval, Leo was finally able to see various scenes, most of the scenes were from the daily life of a child but since he was not interested in the childhood of some random exorcist, he skipped that part.

”Yachi !! Ryo-chan is here, hurry up”
