Chapter 3199 DONG!
The rhythmic clanging of metal echoed again and again.
After dealing with the city lord, Leonel seemed to have forgotten about the rest of the world as he went back to forging.
In truth, he wasn't very interested in doing this back-and-forth with the experts of this world. Going around, conquering cities, and razing his enemies to the ground wasn't interesting in the slightest.
This was the most obvious path to clearing this Zone, but Leonel also knew that it wouldn't work for him for several reasons.
First, the Regulator would make it a living hell for him. Trying to follow the conventional path would just give it more chances to do exactly that.
And second, he already had a Valiant Heart. His goal wasn't to form one like the others. His goal was to form his Weapon Force on his own.
These were the two requirements for clearing this Zone.
However, for obvious reasons, the second would also be a living hell thanks to the Regulator.
This ironically put Leonel right back at step one. He wasn't going to succeed in forging his own Weapon Force by meditating in silence. He needed to battle. And that put him right back in the Regulator's clutches.
It was a vicious cycle, to be sure. But that didn't mean he had to follow everything to a tee.
If he was correct, his enemies should be making their way toward him right this moment, so he would use them as a nice whetstone.
**CLANG. CLANG. CLANG.**
Leonel stopped swinging his arm, shaking his head.
'Still not good enough!
He tossed the blade to the side.
Making a long-standing Weapon Force better was next to impossible. In order for it to be triggered in the first place, it already had to have reached perfection in some aspect. There was nothing to improve.
The creation of a Weapon Force shouldn't be looked at like inventing an item. The creation of a Weapon Force was exactly the same as someone creating oxygen. How could you improve oxygen?
'No, it's even more fundamental than oxygen, as I know it is two oxygen molecules
He randomly grabbed at the air, and a wooden shaft snapped into his palm.
'Well, at least I can do that now!
He hadn't remembered the last time he cared about such a thing. With Spear Force came a natural control over spear weapons that could even be seen as a sort of telekinesis that could allow him to retrieve a weapon like this.
It was this same sort of innate connection with such weapons that had stopped him from forging spears for so long, and also what gave him Dominion over spears as a
Sovereign.
Leonel couldn't remember the last time he had fought a Spear Force master seriously because spears had almost always been useless against him. This Idol Battlefield could very well count as the first time in his life that he had such a chance, the first time he could face off against enemies with Spear Sovereignty strong enough to resist his
own.
**DONG! DONG! DONG!**
Kammy's expression changed. "Enemy attack!"
Leonel pressed a hand to his shoulder. "Calm down."
With another wave of his hand, a random blade Leonel had forged shot up from the pile and onto the tip of his shaft. He took some twine and began to slowly bind the two
together.
It was so tight that the wooden shaft even seemed to compress beneath the pressure as veins bulged across Leonel's forearm.
"Let's go," Leonel said calmly.
The militiamen were quickly gathering at the city's entrance, but Leonel walked through them, hopping to the top of the city wall and then casually landing on the
other side.
Alone.
No one had the time to react to the shock of the matter before it was too late.
