Chapter 3060 CLING!

Chapter 3060 CLING!

Leonel slammed against a barrier.

'Dammit.' He cursed beneath his breath.

Up ahead, there was a lofty palace that floated on golden clouds. There was a single staircase from the bottom to the top, and not only could he not fly, he had been blocked from spatial transportation.

In truth, the entire Empire should have these barriers. The only reason Leonel was able to come so far was because he used the help of the World Spirit. But even the World Spirit of Earth wasn't able to completely overcome all of the protections.

Clearly, this palace had the strongest protections, blocking Leonel from the outside.

There was only one way up.

Leonel's gaze flashed, and he took a step forward. A great amount of pressure fell on him, but it was as though he didn't notice.

His speed only seemed to increase beneath it. He unleashed a roar, and his body turned into a line of Spear Force, charging up like a thrusting blade.

He split the pressure in two, and it was at that moment that the guards seemed to react.

The members of the Slayer Legion who overlooked the palace were without a doubt the strongest there was. The instant they moved, the skies darkened.

They were shocked when they realized that it was Leonel, but by this point, their patience had already begun to wear thin. There was only so much that they could allow.

This was the most sacred ground of the Ascension Empire. The only people allowed into this region were the dead of the Fawkes, the First Imperial Prince and First Imperial Princess, and finally, the Emperor and Empress.

The only exception made to this rule was after the Empress gave birth, but when the child turned 16 years of age, they would, too, be escorted out of the Ascension Palace.

This couldn't be allowed.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

A rain of attacks fell from the skies above.

...

At that moment, Mordred and a familiar figure were entangled with one another in bed. The two women seemed to be extremely familiar with one another's bodies. They shifted positions like perfectly matched puzzle pieces and almost seemed to treat sex like it was a sparring session.

But the both of them froze at the same time.

Leonel spoke this word, and the world was forced to obey.

He shot up, forgoing any nimbleness and agility for straight-line speed.

He reached the top of the stairs in a blink; however...

WHOOOSH!

A pillar of fire pierced through the skies.

Leonel's eyes narrowed. A real powerhouse had appeared.

How could real powerhouses be assigned the task of guarding a palace most wouldn't even dare to look at for too long?

But even Leonel couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this woman. He hadn't thought about her in so long he had completely forgotten.

But then again... she had been a Supreme of the Slayer Legion before they rejoined the Empire. It only made sense that she was here.

"Do you have any idea what you're doing right—?!"

Leonel's spear was her only answer. Monet was caught off guard, not expecting Leonel to do this. However, when she felt the support of Blackstar's Idol, her expression changed once again.

A pair of fiery wings appeared on her back, and she hurriedly retreated as a ribbon appeared in her hand.

Leonel's wrist twisted, and his blade seemed to leave a net in the skies. Monet was instantly overwhelmed by his skill. If before, Leonel could already be said to be one of the greatest spearmen in existence, right now, he was on another level in comparison to his previous self.

None of his attacks seemed to be capable of causing life-ending injury to Monet, and yet she felt like her body was instantly covered in a cold sweat. If Leonel was any more powerful, she would die in a single strike.

His spear seemed to meld into the laws of the world, shredding apart the foundation of her Idol and piercing right into her soul.

By the time her gaze cleared, Leonel actually wasn't even in front of her anymore.

CLING! CLING! CLING! CLING! CLING!

The sound of blade marks echoing across her armor sounded, and her expression became ugly.

Not a single one of those strikes could even make it through her armor, but she had actually thought she was about to die.

"LEONEL!"

She rushed after him.
