Chapter 135 (2/2)
Kill the enemy before you!
The Chaos Dragon was certainly strong. Its power was second to the “Dragon Kind” and seemed to reign as the strongest monster that appeared in nature.
However, this mindless monster didn’t have any wisdom. It was an incarnation of violence that just rampaged and attacked without reason.
In case the previous Demon Lords hadn’t awakened, it might have exceeded them in brute force and overwhelming energy. However…
Leon was a genius, moreover his attribute was Light=Purification.
His existence was such that could be called the natural enemy of the Chaos Dragon.
「I will say it once more. You are underestimating me.
The reason I deliberately gave you time for the summoning was to showthe difference between our powers and that what you have done today, in this place, is fruitless.
I will show you a piece of my power!」
Leon was wrapped in a golden light whilehe talked.
Golden Wings, constructed with pure light energy, appeared on his back.
His wings resembled the wings of the angel race, but in reality his wings were totally a stream of light itself.
And, he held the Flame Pillar (Holy Flame Rapier), which had manifested in his right hand.
It was a Mythical class (Gods) rapier, the strongest sword in Leon’s possession. A pattern of beautiful bluish white flame stood out on its flexible, thin blade.
Leon held a Golden Circle (Golden Round Shield) in his left hand and the rapier in his right.
It was a legend class shield as good as armor, but it had high defense ability because it was mixed with Leon’s Holy Aura. In reality, the shield could suppress the damage from an attack of demonic attribute by reducing up to half of it with purification.
Fully armed, Leon glanced at Yuuki who’d lost his smile and then moved his eyes to Chaos Dragon as though he had lost interest in Yuuki.
And then,
「It seems I will incur Milim’s hostility if I kill you. Since that’s the case, I will only make you fall asleep again!
Oh Holy spirits, flutter! Triangle Pyramid (Sacred Tetrahedron Demon Sealing Barrier)!!」
A small tetrahedron with four pillars made from crystallized spirits grew large and in accordance to Leon’s will, it wrapped around the Chaos Dragon.
This was the ultimate holy attribute barrier that even surpassed Holy Field.
The Barrier that Leon had constructed was given the [effect：eternity], where the captured person was confined. It was a high-class sealing technique that rivaled『Infinite Prison』. No, the effect may even surpass『Infinite Prison』if the target had a demonic attribute.
With the existence of this barrier, Leon could possibly win against Guy just once. Of course, if it was Guy, he would instantly sense the danger of the barrier, and not get caught by it. Therefore, not to bedisparaging, but the success rate against Guy was only about 1 in 1000 attempts.
However, if the target was a mindless monster, it couldn’t defend against this technique.
The poor Chaos Dragon struggled to break the seal, but its resistance was futile.
Furthermore, when the barrier’s effect activated, it sucked the magic power from the Chaos Dragon and used it to reinforce the barrier’s strength. When it came to this, its movements were already sealed.
It wasn’t like the lifecycle barrier that Milim had erected, no matter how much energy the Chaos Dragon possessed, as it was, it could vanish before 100 years had passed.
In this matter, Leon thought that Milim could possibly resent him for this, but if he released the seal and handed it over to Milim then it would be fine. It would be troublesome to incur Milim’s wrath, but it wasn’t really something that he should be thinking of right now. He modified the barrier settings, so that it would immediately be buried under the ground.
In the end, the Chaos Dragon was sealed again in instant by Leon.
……
This could not be called a battle, it was an event symbolizing Leon’s overwhelming strength.
「Well then, did your trump card end with this? If it’s over, it’s my turn now.」
Leon looked at Yuuki and spoke mercilessly.
Leon had completely settled the situation in his favor and Yuuki’s chance of victory could be deemed as nonexistent.
But,
「Ahahahaha! I never thought that a Demon Lord was amazing, to this degree!
Honestly, I underestimated it. Even so, I already took the source of that dragon’s power, I don’t need it anymore.
I have restored the damage I received from you.
Then, should I get serious now? 」
Exactly as stated by Yuuki, his both hands were covered with dragon scales,his body is was covered by the same miasma that had covered the Chaos Dragon not long ago.
It was almost like it had transformed into an ominous black armor resembling the scales of dragon.
Leon recalled the buried barrier to himself,
「You bastard!」
He shouted at Yuuki.
The Chaos Dragon became bone, it weathered and then crumbled.
It was the result of the dragon losing its power. Just as Yuuki had said, he had deprived it of its very core.
With this, Milim’s wrath is!
The moment Leon thought about that――
「Do you think now is the right time to worry about that?」
Yuuki leapt behind Leon’s with a speed incomparable to before.
And delivered a strong kick to Leon’s back.
Yuuki, who had taken the power of the dragon,had become a Dragon Warrior.He put more effort into the fight,
「Don’t get cocky, you insect!」
Golden lights were emitted intensely and completely dyed the area pure white.
Inside the torrent of light that blinded people’s eyes was Leon who stood glaring angrily at Yuuki, his body wrapped in white-gold armor.
The 36 pairs of 72 wings appeared once more on his back. They had vanished when he had used barrier before, but it manifest again when Leon’s virtually unlimited holy aura was released.
Light Angel Leon vs Dragon Warrior Yuuki
The fight was settled in an instant.
Leon, who burned with anger, delivered intense attacks towards Yuuki without giving him the chance to counterattack.
With a flowing elegant thrusting speed that approach the speed of light, Leon’s Flame Pillar made Yuuki’s entire body instantly became bloody.
The ominous black armor that was the crystallization of the Chaos Dragon’s power was smashed to pieces, unable to withstand the sword endowed with the power of purification.
As for the difference in power, the gap was vast, like that between an adult and a child.
(
Damn, it can’t be… to this extent…)
Yuuki, felt his own ego weakening, seemingly disappearing.
If this situationcontinued, it would not be not good. If things kept going like this, his defeat was certain.
Above all…….
――Well then, will it be my turn soon?
(Not yet, I’m not defeated yet!)
Yuuki gathered up his disappearing consciousness,
「Didn’t I said it would be useless? You are not even capable of following my movement」
Yuuki lost sight of Leon, who was standing in front of him, and his left arm is cut by Leon’s Flame Pillar and flung away.
An acute pain attacked Yuuki, and his control of the power had already become unsteady.
He fell to the ground and crouched down. His severed arm stopped bleeding, and he glared at Leon who hovered over him, looking down at him.
The outcome was already determined. Yuuki seemed to have misunderstood Leon’s overwhelming strength.
The difference between the strength he took from the ancient dragon, the power of the Chaos Dragon, and Leon’s was not good.
It was just like Leon had said, even if he awoke an Ultimate Skill, the difference in the ability was like heaven and earth.
「It’s the end」
Just as Leon declares the ultimatum, a multi-layered 3D magic circle formed with Leon in the center and took in Yuuki.
The magic circle kept radiating and flickering in a radiant color, and then it was completed in an instant.
「Perish, “Holy Breakdown (36
th
Style Annihilation’s Light of Holy Spirit Purification)”!」
Twinkling lights radiated from his 36 pairs of wings.
When the lights collided with the layered barrier, they were reflected irregularly and filled the inside of the barrier with light.
It was a wild dance of photons that broke down the things it touched. It was Leon’s greatest and strongest wide area annihilation ability.
The annihilation percentage inside the limited space covered by the barrier was 100%, it was an inescapable technique.
Yuuki who was still crouched down on the ground with his severed left arm, had his body mercilessly pierced by the lights.
When the inside of the barrier is filled with lights, photons are generated, and the ability concludes.
This ability generatesenergy several thousand times greater than the “Disintegration” that Hinatahad used, and all objects within the barrier are disintegrated.
And then, the inside of the barrier was filled with lights.
A flash.
When the magic circle disappeared, the lights calmed down.
There’s was only one person standing on the ground.
However, that person seemed unhappy,
「So, he escaped, huh」
He muttered.
So.
Standing on the ground alone was Leon.
Yuuki who had confirmed Leon’s overwhelming strength and realized his own defeat, had decided to retreat when his left arm was cut off.
At that moment, he had made the full use of his maximum strength and earned a little time with Thought Guidance.
The perfect chance to escape appeared when Leon was concentrating on the constructing the barrier.
However, one ought to praise Yuuki. His stubbornness deserved appreciation, he didn’t surrender until the end of the fight.
But, that didn’t change the fact that he ran away. Leon, had promised to cooperate with the two demon lords, and when he thought about the possibility Milim would turn her rage towards him, he felt depressed.
「Good grief, I must be more serious.」
It seems that the goal of obtaining Chloe’s freedom would be delayed a bit longer, since Yuuki had escaped
This strategy was a complete failure.
It could be said that the moment Yuuki succeeded in retreating, he had strategically won the war. Leon had won the battle but lost the war.
As Leon thought of the future, there was a complete lack of the taste of victory, and he sighed.
