Leonel's casual greeting reached all of their ears. At that moment, everyone's attention shot toward the same teenage boy.
Despite the fact he looked as though he had just crawled out from a garbage dump, he held a certain undeniable valiant air that made him too difficult to ignore.
Leonel yawned again.
This sort of scene, why did it feel so familiar?
Beneath their gazes, Leonel flipped his palm and allowed numerous snowglobes to appear. Afterward, members of the Adurna family began to appear one after another, plopping to the ground as Leonel released them.
"Big Brother Leonel!"
Nana was the first to recover as she wasn't harmed to begin with. While the others were still in a daze, Nana seemed to realize that Leonel must have been the one that saved them.
Leonel smiled lightly, patting the little girl's head. Seeing her childish excitement, he could tell just how much the Camelot Zone had weighed on her mind.
The second of the Adurna family to come to was their oldest and the man that had been responsible for their lives. However, it seemed that he had failed in his task as a guardian fairly badly. And, to make matters worse, his mind was still foggy. He found it difficult to tell whether or not they were still within a Zone.
This elder's name was Matteus. He couldn't help but look toward Leonel with a hint of confusion.
Leonel only smiled. "I hope your Adurna family remembers this favor."
Matteus blinked in confusion. Favor? Wait..
He looked around and seemed to recognize the island they were on. They had escaped? How? Matteus had been absolutely certain that they would all be dead.
"Alright, bye." Leonel waved and seemed set to leave, causing many to be shocked.
Catris' gaze sharpened. Did this boy really not take them seriously?!
"LEONEL!"
At this point, Leonel didn't even bother. He took out a talisman. Since he wasn't going to be able to leave here peacefully to do what he needed to do, he would just leave to Terrain now. However, he would remember this.
He was certain that by the time he came back, these Supremes wouldn't be able to handle him even if they banded together as one. By then, no one could stop him from doing what he needed to do.
The expression of those watching changed. Of all the things they expected, for Leonel to say not a word and truly prepare to leave caught them completely off guard.
"Leonel, wait."
"Hm?" Leonel paused.
There was only one person he would even bother to listen to at this point, and that was obviously Hutch.
Though Leoenl was a bit unsatisfied with the way the old man had kidnapped him against his will, delaying his plans to raze the Royal Blue Fort to the ground, he still felt that the retired Supreme was a net positive on his life.
The old man sighed. "Just stay, will you? With me here, who would dare do anything to you? If you want, in a few years, I'll even give my Supreme position to you. I'll see who dares to say anything."
Hearing these words, others were stunned while Leonel just smiled.
"I appreciate the sentiment, old man. But, I think it's best that the Slayer Legion and I part ways from here on."
Hutch shook his head. "They're a bit shameless, but it's still not good to be alone in this new world order. Youths like you need an umbrella to grow beneath."
Leonel grinned. "Shameless is a good word for it. The people I just saved the lives of are now accusing me of crimes. I wonder how many of them would be alive without me?"
Monet's expression turned ice cold, red flames flickering within the depths of her pupils. But, Leonel continued unperturbed.
"And I dunno... Something about that umbrella term makes me itch all over."
With a last smile, Leonel activated the talisman.
"I'll be seeing you old man."
