Chapter 197 197:The Fear Of Death[II]

A few hours ago...

"Do me another favor."

"Yes?"Irina stood befuddled as Leon drew closer to her ears and whispered.

"Don't chase .e. I am going there alone."

"What?"Irina made a shocked expression and then shook her head.

"No, I can't let you go alone. I wish you didn't even go there but since I can't stop you I can just accompany you to death."

Leon's body flinched back upon hearing her words and his eyes turned cold.

"You are being a nuisance and....."

"You will be more of a burden and make me restless..."With those words, Leon's figure melted into shadow and vanished out of everyone's sight.

"He vanished.."

"Where did he go?"

Irina bit her lips wondering what she should do. As much as she wanted to lunge forward, Leon's threatening eyes broke her will and she wasn't naive enough to understand the meaning behind those words after seeing how his friends were being killed.

"My child...He would be in so much pain and I can't do anything and stand there."Irina voiced out her thoughts in frustration and kicked the ground making a crack.

"Commander Irina, calm down."

Irina turned her gaze towards the silver-haired man.

"You are telling me to calm down even after seeing the situation. You won't understand my feelings, Commander Cameron."

"I might not but I also understand that we shouldn't make things difficult for the guy. He had some weird miraculous power and might pull it off."Cameron's silver eyes focus on dark fortresses beyond most.

It looked menacing and mystifying.

"Let's give them a few hours and we can check on the situation from afar."

Irina's eyes shone and she nodded.

At that time, a gray-haired woman headed out from the crowd and muttered in a soft voice.

"Can...can I accompany you?"

Cameron was about to refute but Irina nodded.

"You can Su Lin and maybe your presence will soon ease his pain."

Cameron sighed and ordered everyone to pull back and rest until further orders.

.....

Initially, they planned to see from afar but much to their surprise, the battle seemed to have already come to an end.

Irina crafted an ice stair to jump up and the moment they stepped onto the walls, Su Lin freaked out seeing the sheer brutality.

In the aftermath of the clash between Leon's ghost army and Avelin's monster army, the fortress lay shrouded in a thick blanket of silence, broken only by the occasional groan of the wounded and the mournful wails of the bereaved.

Hella replied in a sharp cold voice, "My Master isn't fond of your existence."

Cameron's brows furrowed as he answered, "But I haven't done anything."

"You haven't but you may later.."

"What if I break through you?"Cameron smirked, unleashing his Martial Spirit.

A wave of pressure erupted from him but just as it was about to hit Hella, another terrifying pressure countered him from the sky.

Unfolding his huge wings in full glory, a deadly murderous intent flickering dyeing the place in red.

Locking his gaze on Cameron, Terpas muttered in a cold voice.

"Human.....Know your place."

.....

As Su Lin and Irina hurried towards the throne room guided by a ghost, their hearts pounded with fear and anticipation. The sound of quakes and deafening bangs reverberated through the corridors, growing louder with each step they took.

Spotting a locked door and getting a signal that Leon was beyond it, Irina directly froze the door and broke it open.

As they burst into the throne room, their horror was palpable as they beheld the scene before them. The once majestic chamber lay in ruins, its magnificence reduced to rubble and debris. At the center of the devastation stood Leon, locked in a brutal battle with Avelin.

Avelin pathetic figure lay broken and battered at Leon's feet, his body reduced to a bloody pulp by the relentless onslaught. Shards of meat and bone littered the floor, splattered with crimson blood that stained the marble tiles.

Leon, his body battered and bruised, sat over Avelin's corpse and kept punching, his chest heaving up and down with exertion. Blood dripped from his wounds, mingling with the sweat that coated his skin. Despite his injuries, his eyes burned with anger and wrath.

Leon's body bore the marks of his ordeal, his flesh seared and scorched by the lightning that had struck him down. His limbs trembled with exhaustion, his breath ragged and labored.

As Su Lin and Irina rushed to his side, their hearts filled with concern.

"Leon!"

"Leon!"

Both of them screamed but Leon, like a demon-possessed , just kept on punching and punching again with a fighting spirit shining brightly and his eyes shining with madness.

As Irina and Su Lin rushed to Leon's side, their hearts filled with a mixture of relief and dread.

Irina, overcome with emotion, threw herself at Leon, wrapping her arms around him in a tight embrace. Tears streamed down her face as she cried out for her son, her voice choked with anguish.

"Stop it, Leon, he is dead."

"Leon, he is dead stop."Su Lin screamed trying to push Leon but she felt as if Leon weighed tons like a huge pillar.

"Leon! Snap out!" Irina's cries echoed through the chamber, filled with a mother's desperate plea for her child's safety.

Beside her, Su Lin's heart ached as she watched the scene unfold. Seeing him in such a frenzied state wrecked her heart!

"You have won Leon. You can stop now," Su Lin's votremblingbled with emotion as she pleaded with her student, her heart breaking at the sight of his suffering.

But Leon lost in rage, whacked the shit out of Avelin's corpse.

With a final attempt, Irina and Su Lin jumped before him.

"LEON STOP NOW!"

Leon grunted and raised his fist to punch but just before his fist was about to touch Irina, his eyes stirred and his head shook restoring his mind.
