444 A Beast in Human Skin? (1/2)

”I know!” Young Master Judas said.

He took out a pill bottle from his Interspatial Storage before popping a pill from the bottle into his mouth. His wounds began to heal at a naked rate.

Leon's pupils shrank at this sight.

At the same time, Elder Gustavo stepped in front of Young Master Judas, shielding him from any further attacks from the enemy before them.

Leon had been ready to follow-up on his attack, giving the person to quarters to rest. However, he froze upon hearing the person's name.

Why did this person from the Cortez family have the same name as that person? Even son, it gave him another reason to dislike this person.

The Tier 4 Bone Spear flew upward with significant momentum, shooting into the distant skies before the increasing pressure of abnormal gravitational force brought it plunging back down.

Leon extended his divine senses, reclaiming the Tier 4 Bone Spear with Divine Will as soon as it fell into his range.

Seeing the bone spear flew into Leon's grasp, Elder Gustavo's eyes widened with surprise. What kind of Elemental Awakener was this? A Bone Awakener? Was there such a thing?

While Elder Gustavo and Young Master Judas were dumbfounded by Leon's ability, he spun the bone spear in his hand and took a battle stance.

His eyes shortly brightened with a flick of indomitable spirit before he kicked the air and launched himself forward.

Elder Gustavo immediately had a solemn look.

He quickly flicked his wrist, summoning a sword and small gourd. The gourd was uncapped before black water flowed out, weaving around Elder Gustavo's blade.

After that, he defended against Leon's attack by shooting the black water out in a spiraling manner.

Leon used [Nine Echoes] and [Divine Will Augmentation], bursting forth with a strength of 200 thousand jins in his strike.

However, the black water was bizarre.

Under Elder Gustavo's manipulation, the black water was like a whirlpool of countless snakes, wrapping around Leon's bone spear and quickly draining away the force of his spear strike.

By the time Leon's strike reached Elder Gustavo, the force of his attack was already reduced to a level that could be deflected with the elder's sword.

At the same time, Elder Gustavo summoned another body of black water from the gourd, forming a Water Fist that struck Leon square on the chest and sent him flying back.

”Please wait, young friend! Everything was a misunderstanding! My young master had mistaken you for a Transcendent-level beast!” Elder Gustavo spoke.

If one look carefully, his sword hand was shaking slightly.

Young Master Judas was displeased immediately.

”There's no misunderstanding, Elder Gustavo! He tried to kill me! And for that, he has to die for me!”

”No, Young Master Judas! That is because you attacked first!” Elder Gustavo roared, feeling deeply frustrated by the young master's impulsiveness.

Without speaking further words, Young Master Judas had shot towards Leon. A gourd was summoned, and similar black water poured out from its uncapped lid, revolving around Young Master Judas' body like a layer of armor.

Another body of black water flowed to Young Master Judas' hand and formed a long black water lance that squirmed and vibrated at high frequency.

At the same time, Leon's body came to a stop in midair some distance away after the Water Fist's momentum was expended.

His inwards were slightly shaken, but he was fine otherwise.

'It seems I need to quickly consolidate my viscera… otherwise, it will become my weakness.'

Leon's pupil shrank slightly, feeling confused by his clash with Elder Gustavo. His strength was obviously greater, but his attack was still skillfully parried.

Obviously, these people were not simple and had some pretty impressive skills.

Nevertheless, he did not have time to ponder further. He gripped his bone spear tightly and lunged back at the approaching enemy.

Young Master Judas abruptly stopped and retreated with a frown after seeing Leon shuttling through the skies towards him with ease.

They were not deep within the sky suppression zone, but it was the sky suppression zone, nonetheless! How was this person able to move with such ease without any assisting equipment?!

Young Master Judas quickly threw his Blackwater Lance at Leon's fast approaching figure before quickly conjuring a new one in its place.

The Blackwater Lance zipped through the air swiftly with a strange buzzing noise.

Leon's eyes narrowed.

He lashed out with his bone spear without holding back. He did not dare to underestimate his enemy and used all his strength.

The powerful spear swing clashed with the Blackwater Lance and slapped it away. However, the Blackwater Lance did not break surprisingly under his strength.

Instead, only its trajectory was only changed as it flew away while emitting a droning noise.

Leon frowned before sweeping away the second Blackwater Lance.

A similar scene played out.
