Chapter 789 - Leo's Plan

On the other hand, the last place on the battlefield also had a great moment.

"You old bastard. I am going to kill you today!" Liza roared as she sent a few ice blocks toward him.

Manness didn't say anything and kept dodging it.

"This is so like you. You can only dodge my attacks this whole time!" Liza kept mocking him.

Manness sighed. "Yes. But in the end, you lost to me in our last fight even though I was weaker than you."

"You bastard!" Liza gnashed her teeth and attacked him again.

As they had their own fight, Leo also had a hard time fighting against two 10-Star Martial Saints.

"Prism Array!" He threw an Array Plate toward Riadon, who was flying toward him while swinging his sword.

Riadon's sword struck the barrier, and the lightning that covered his sword sparked, flowing to all directions and hitting a few disciples at the same time. Since Leo was trying to buy time to build a plan to break through this place, he was better to kill some disciples to weaken the Fire God Clan as a whole.

At the same time, Viola summoned two torrential flames from left and right. Leo took a glimpse of their path and slashed his sword one time, striking these two flames and stopping their advance.

After that, he also summoned a fire dragon, albeit only the head, toward Riadon. He was stopped by the Prism Array that turned into an invisible wall, so the moment the dragon almost reached him, Leo deactivated the Array Plate and let the Dragon swallow him.

Of course, the Array Plates immediately broke and fell down. However, the dragon managed to swallow Riadon alive.

"Spark." Lightning began gushing out of the dragon before it shredded the dragon into pieces. Riadon then raised his sword, planning to release an attack, but he suddenly saw Leo smiling and noticed something wrong.

"Bam!" Leo pointed his finger with a smile.

Riadon glanced to his four and found an array plate aiming at him. Suddenly, the array turned into a sword and flew toward him.

"This is Saint Sword Array!" Riadon exclaimed in surprise, wondering how many rank 8 Array Plates in Leo's possession right now. He had been using more than ten this whole fight, but Leo didn't feel pressured at all. He believed Leo still had another card on his sleeve, so he decided to proceed cautiously by destroying this sword first.

"Lightning Tree."

The moment he struck the Sword coming from the array, his lightning suddenly leaped out of his sword, bouncing on the surface of the sword and struck the Swords from many directions like a tree rot.

However, not only Leo, who actually managed to send a surprise attack, when Riadon struck the sword, he realized four fire circles appeared diagonally from Leo.

"Hm?" Leo took a glimpse of their location and clicked his tongue.

"Scorching Fire Prison." Viola smirked as the four fire circles burst out flames, burning Leo to crisp.

Suddenly, a powerful shock wave shook the Fire Prison and blew the fire away from Leo. He seemed to slash his sword to create a powerful shock wave to escape that.

"As expected, the Fire God Clan is really monstrous." Viola furrowed her eyebrows. "Well, this might be the power of your emotion, right? Although you don't show your emotion, I can sense your raging heart. Still, the longer this fight be, the more disadvantage you will get."

"Hmph! Save your pointless rumblings, man-woman!" Leo snorted, looking at Viola's flat chest with contempt. "You will be defeated even without that."

"What did you say?!" Viola would always be angry when they insulted her b.r.e.a.s.t, and to think Leo would bring it to the next level. Viola summoned a giant fireball before shooting out a laser that might even melt the hardest metal.

"Do you think you can stop me?" Leo snorted as he took another Array Plate from his Space Ring and activated it.

"That array… It's a Teleportation Array Plate!" Riadon exclaimed as soon as he saw the array embedded on it. He realized Leo had been preparing for this, including the insult to Viola.

"Aileen!" Viola instinctively shouted since Aileen knew more about the Space Element. Unfortunately, since she had asked her to focus on the other people, Aileen couldn't react fast enough.

When she turned around, she found only Viola and Riadon standing in the air. "Where is that guy? By the looks of it, he hasn't died yet."

"He used the Teleportation Array Plate earlier." Viola gritted her teeth. "Do you know where he goes?"

"I am afraid I can't track him. However, he should be somewhere on the battlefield. Even if he causes the ruckus in the Special Realm barrier, his strength alone won't be enough to destroy it. In other words, he is either hiding or going to another battle."

"Where?"

"That's your problem. I don't know where he goes." Aileen shouted in frustration.

…

Just like how Aileen said, the other battlefield, specifically the battle between Manness and Liza, caused a commotion.

"Blank Slash!" A fire that was neither hot nor cold flew toward Liza.

"Hmph! Freezing Field." Liza raised her hand and sent a powerful ice wind toward the slash. The fire slowly got suppressed by the ice before it vanished.

"Your element is inferior to me. If not because of your dirty trick, you won't be able to defeat me at that time." Liza snorted. "You better surrender right now and make way for me. Won't it be better if you aim at the Fire God Clan alone?"

"I am afraid that is not possible. This is the last time I agree to that brat's words, so I will do it to the very end. I am going to stall you here until they finish their battle." Manness shrugged. "Still, I never expected you are holding that grudge even until now… It's been a few hundred years, you old hag."

"Hmph!" Liza snorted and raised her sword, sending a torrential ice wind toward Manness, trying to freeze his body even a little to decrease his fighting ability.

Manness scratched his head, took out a bottle of wine, and lifted the liquor with his Spiritual Energy. "Do you know why my influence is called Drunken Pavilion?"

"You are just a drunkard. It's already a good enough name for an idiot like you to create a name like that."

"You are merciless." Manness shook his head and sent the alcohol flying before he channeled his fire to the alcohol. After that, he sent another Sword Wave behind the fire.

Liza furrowed her eyebrows when she saw Manness burned his liquor. "Wait! That's fuel?"

Manness lifted his mouth a little bit as the alcohol-fueled fire suddenly broke through the cold wind that Liza sent and covered his Fire Sword Wave.

"Just die, you old hag. The sooner you die, the better. After all, you don't need to watch how your disciples get killed in this battle." Manness sighed.

"When are you going to stop underestimating me?" Liza ground her teeth and struck the Sword Wave with her sword. At the same time, the cold icy wind started gathering around her sword, and it spun like a fan to blow off this fire.

*Bang!*

The sound of this clash was like two metal clashing, but it sent an overbearing pressure and powerful shock wave to their surroundings, especially when the fire burned the ice and the ice froze the fire.

Manness and Liza still had the same expression as they glared at each other. They jumped again and tried close combat.

When their swords were about to clash, another presence suddenly appeared as a shadow emerged out of thin air. And that shadow also slashed forward.

"!!!" It was obvious that this shadow target was Manness. "Drunken Sword Snake."

Manness suddenly used all his power to strike the two incoming swords, not letting even a single of them hit his body.

*Clang Clang!*

The first clicking sound was normal since it came from Liza, but when Manness felt the second sword, he was shocked by how much power behind it and realized who just threw such a strike. "Leo! Why are you here?"

"I defeated them. It's time for you to accept your death." Leo snorted and kept attacking him, trying to injure him as much as possible with this surprise attack.

Liza took advantage of this and attacked him together.

"I won't be defeated!" Manness gritted his teeth and traded blows with them. However, as expected, he could only buy time in his fight against Liza, and now, with the interference from Leo, wounds started to appear in his body.

"No. You are strong, but you are not capable of killing them. You must be using a Teleportation Array Plate to arrive here!" Manness shouted as he kept blocking the attacks.

"Whatever. I only need a few minutes to kill the weakest 10-Star Martial Saint with this old hag as my partner." Leo mocked him and made a few more wounds on his body.

"An opening!" Liza suddenly found an opening and planned to use it to cut one of Manness's arms. However, an overbearing pressure suddenly enveloped her, reducing her speed and strength greatly. "This…"

*Clang!*

Manness didn't know what happened, but he parried the attack and blew the sword away by using that confusion. Not only that, he threw another strike toward Liza, pushing her back.

It was at this time, Liza found the source of the problem as she glanced in another direction, finding a woman who was utilizing her element to suppress her. "You b*tch!"

Letizia found Manness got attacked not long ago, so she thought she needed to help him even if it meant exhausting all her Spiritual Energy. After all, Alex surely didn't want Manness to die just like this. Even though it was different from their plans, she didn't regret it and put everything to suppress her, even for a few seconds or minutes.

"You are not strong enough to suppress me to the point I can't fight back!" Liza snorted and slashed her sword downwards and vice versa. Each swing released five spikes that flew out of the sword, trying to impale her.

Since Letizia was putting all her energy to suppress her, so she couldn't fight Manness together with Leo, she shouldn't be able to avoid these spikes.

"Kh!" Letizia gritted her teeth. She should be able to shift her body a little bit to avoid vital areas, but that was all. She had prepared to take on these attacks.

Of course, Alex would surely not leave someone like her on the battlefield without protection. Jean suddenly appeared in front of her and raised his hand before a wall of water formed.

"Exquisite Water Body, Third Characteristic. Buoyancy!"

The moment it struck the water wall, the wall suddenly stretched to the back but was unable to be pierced by the ice as if it was very viscous.

The ice suddenly slowly melted as if it met hot water instead of normal water. Jean smiled upon this sight as he glanced at Letizia. "Are you alright?"

"Yes. Thank you for helping me."

"You have made a good judgment by helping that Manness. How long do you can hold your suppression?"

"Fifteen seconds."

"Three seconds are enough. Keep your Spiritual Energy high enough for the long battle." Jean nodded.

"Ho—"Just as she was about to ask How, Fabio and Vera appeared behind Liza, slashing their swords toward her.

"Twin Element Slash!" They used their usual couple combination technique, releasing a cross slash made of fire and ice.

"!!!" Liza obviously noticed their appearance and turned around. She should be able to handle this attack easily if she was in a normal condition, but this suppression was hindering her.

She ground her teeth and released all of her Spiritual Energy, burning the suppression even for a few seconds. "No, you won't! Break!"

She shouted out loud, burning away a huge portion of her Spiritual Energy to block the attack and the suppression. After that, she struck Fabio and Vera, blowing them away.

"This is not good!" Letizia felt her suppression had been lifted from her, but Jean raised his hand, stopping her. "It's alright. My master should also know this condition and obviously send the two…"

As he uttered those words, a Spatial Gate appeared as Viola and Riadon emerged within the gate, glaring at Leo. "Found you!"
