337 Guarding a Crazy Person (2/2)

Although they had lost their Bone King, it did not stop them from executing their most basic command to kill humans.

”Crap, we won't make it in time!”

The warriors were appalled when they realized this. No one wanted to be too close to the Great Warriors when they fight, but at this moment, they regretted being too far away.

Great Warrior Sabertooth was one of their tribe's best warriors. They could not afford to lose someone like this. It was too big of a loss for their tribe.

The warriors never stopped trying to get closer to Great Warrior Sabertooth, but there were too many Bone Soldiers and Bone Knights between. Their eyes became red when they saw Great Warrior Sabertooth about to be overwhelmed.

”Dammit! Wake up, Big Brother Sabertooth! You are too crazy! Why would you try to make a breakthrough in the middle of the enemy's army?!” The warriors cried, hoping their voices would reach him.

Despite their best efforts, it was all in vain.

Nevertheless, they knew precisely why Sabertooth was willing to take the risk. The further one progresses through the Great Warrior Realm, the more increasingly difficult it gets. If they did not take the chance when the opportunity comes, it could set them back several years before their next opportunity for a breakthrough.

Not everyone was a monster like their Chief Valencia. Her determination and drive to become strong was not something many men possess.

To reach the Battle Master Realm at her age, talent alone was not enough. It also required incredible hard work. She was a woman of focus, commitment, sheer will…

Just as the Bone Soldiers and Bone Knights were about to hack Great Warrior Sabertooth to death, a soft whistling scream made its way over and caused all the undead to freeze on the spot. It was Lumi's [Banshee Scream].

A blurred shadow flickered across the air and landed right next to Great Warrior Sabertooth shortly after sweeping all the enemy before him with a mighty swing of his bone spear.

That person was Leon, without a doubt.

Bang!

”No need to fret, I will guard this person!” Leon spoke strongly as he slammed the butt of his spear into the ground domineeringly and exuded his tremendous pressure.

Alas, these mindless undead beings did not know the meaning of fear and were not deterred by him. They continued to charge at him, only for Leon to lift his bone spear and sweep them all again away.

”Thank you, Great Warrior Leonhardt! Thank you for saving Big Brother Sabertooth!”

”It has been fortunate to have someone like you to fight alongside us!”

The warriors spoke with heartfelt relief one after another. Nothing was more reassuring than to have another Great Warrior guard their Big Brother Sabertooth while he is breaking through to the next rank.

Once the burden in their hearts was lifted, they focus all their energy on fighting the remaining Bone Army.

Leon did not know how hard it was to progress through the Great Warrior Realm that these warriors spoke of, but how could a breakthrough in one's cultivation be more important than one's life?

'This Sabertooth person beside me is either too crazy or too confident in believing someone was going to guard him.' Leon mused with narrowed eyes.

In truth, there was no need for Leon to guard Sabertooth's breakthrough as his strength was better utilized elsewhere.

However, he had his own motive for guarding the person. At such proximity, he observed how the person was cultivating his body to advance his strength.

'Sure enough, these warriors have a method to cultivate Darkness Profound Energy… However, this energy isn't used to further their comprehension of the Darkness Profound Law, but actually to temper their body. To think they would use Darkness Profound Energy like this…”

Leon was mildly surprised as he watched the darkness squirm under the person's skin like countless small snakes. Just as the last traces of darkness was about to disappear, Leon began to narrow his eyes in thought.

'This person is about to complete his breakthrough!'

Sabertooth's eyes soon snapped open and immediately let out a mighty roar while his vigor and aura surged with significant momentum.

”Hahaha! I've finally broken through this damn bottleneck!” Sabertooth laughed boisterously with joy. It was not long before his gaze fell onto Leon.

”You're the one who protected me?”

Leon casually swiped away another group of Bone Soldiers before nodding, 'En.”

”Many thanks, friend!” Sabertooth thanked with a grin.
