299 Chapter 298 (1/2)
Eventually, the guards stopped coming. Leon had buried a little more than two thousand guards. So, a few things became clear. Donan was plotting something… or perhaps Leon chose a bad moment to attack. There was a chance that Donan was paying a visit to that shadowy figure, after all.
”… Maybe he is waiting for the soldiers of the front line… they probably won't leave the barrier unprotected, but they will probably send more than a few soldiers. No… Donan wouldn't wait for that. He kicked my ass the last time we met, after all.”
Leon flew high to see the situation around, there was no sign of other guards, but Leon could see signs of destruction in the distance. Most likely, Gurr and his people weren't the only ones who decided to take advantage of the chaos.
”Causing so many problems to me…”
Leon thought of shooting a few Mana Bullets on them, but he forgot about that when he noticed two figures flying and approaching at fearsome speed. Eventually, they slowed down, but that didn't surprise Leon. Something like that was within his expectations, Leon just confirmed what Donan was planning when he saw him smirking… alongside Donan, Leon saw Darya looking at him. Her eyes full of hate, and there wasn't a single sign that she could remember that they worked and traveled together for almost an entire year… this time, Donan make sure to erase her memories of a whole year.
”Invader,” Donan smiled arrogantly.
”Dog,” Leon waved his right hand at him.
As expected, Donan became furious, but he didn't do anything. Instead, Darya attacked Leon using Gravity and Telekinesis. Her powers increased a lot in the last few months, but she wasn't the only one who improved. Thanks to Lion's Pride, Leon withstood Darya's combination of spells.
”He is stronger than you said, grandfather,” Darya murmured.
”Yes… it looks like he obtained a few more tricks,” Donan glared at Leon. ”But don't worry if we work together, we can easily defeat the invader.”
”Yes, grandfather!” Darya said excitedly.
Leon couldn't help but sigh, in the end, Donan did what he had imagined. He erased Darya's memories and then treated her well for several months while training her just to build her loyalty. Although he was an asshole, he wasn't an idiot. After the battle against Leon, he noticed that soon Leon would be more than just a small nuisance. So, he worked with that in mind to avoid some headaches in the long run. Still… despite thinking that he was prudent, Donan wasn't careful enough.
”Cover me, we will finish this quickly, and then we will deal with the other sewer rats,” Donan said.
”Yes, grandfather!” Darya said excitedly.
”You will pay for your insolence…” Donan said.
”Please, don't bite me too roughly. Dog.” Leon said.
