Chapter 858: Vol V Chapter 218

The sky turned dark as Leon and the dragon’s battle continued. It had already been half a day.

They had started around 3pm in the afternoon, and it had been about five hours. To a normal person, such a long battle would deplete their energy completely. However, to the two parties, this was not much. If this was a workout, this would only count as a warmup to them.

When Legendary Masters were fighting, it was common for the battle to last a few days. As a legendary peak master, for Leon, as long as he was willing, he could fight for a few months without stopping. As for the dragon, it had not even shown its true powers yet.

As the sky turned dark, nature affected the power of both sides. Darkness and evil began to claim the upper hand. With this, the dragon’s powers also increased. It was not that the dragon was similar to other lowly Magic Beasts who were weak in the day and strong at night. It was more like at nightfall, it became more alert and conscious.

Holy Spirits’ soul pieces, the evil dragon’s soul, and the aura of the Abyss had created this dragon. It was beginning to familiarize and control its strength, transforming from a “combined being” into a whole being. In terms of the battle, it began to control its powers better. When attacking, the dragon was also more accurate and did not hit the ground with each strike.

Of course, this was disadvantageous to Leon, and he had to fight even harder now. Yet, instead of feeling threatened, Leon was even more excited. He had always wanted to challenge a demigod. Although the dragon showed signs of demigod power before, it had been rather sporadic, and there had been nothing much for him to learn from. However, now, as the dragon began to harness its full power, it gave Leon some food for thought. The increased hardship was nothing to him in exchange for knowledge!

Leon also knew that he would definitely not be alone in battle.

After a short period of time, Master Satan, who was also at the legendary peak, would come to aid him. Actually, Satan had already arrived and was simply waiting for the right chance to start his attacks. Furthermore, for other legendary peak masters, they would definitely rush over to watch or help once they heard that one of their kind was fighting a demigod monster.

How could one move from the legendary peak to demigod? This was something all legendary peak masters considered. All who were at this stage already possessed high levels of thought and intelligence, but to complete the last step from “human” to “god” was something they were always puzzled about. If one were to complete this last step, they would successfully step into the immortal stage as a god. However, if they failed, it was almost guaranteed that they would die.

They all would definitely prefer to engage with or as demigods under safer conditions.

Through this battle, they could understand more about demigods and prepare for their own journey. With greater understanding, they would be more likely to be successful. On the other hand, by participating in such battles, they could also increase their understanding of their own power and develop their weaknesses.

Leon thus could bet that this solo battle would become a group one very soon.

As he predicted, once the moon had risen from the east through the thick clouds and the first beam of moonlight shone down, someone else intervened in the battle.
