Chapter 248 Fighting Theodore

A few minutes back,

Leo followed the red dot on the map only to see a group of city leaders fighting about something.

He used [Space Manipulation – Secret Dimensional Space], walked closer to them, and listened to their entire conversation.

‘These city leaders have a master?’

Leo was shocked to hear that they all serve a master, and he suddenly thought of something.

[Seal Swallowing Ability – Additional Effect]

Leo used his ability to check whether their master was the same person.

‘If they have enslavement seals, I can conclude who their master is; otherwise, I have to think about my future plans.’

However, there were no pop-ups above the city leaders’ and the muscular man’s heads, making Leo silent and thinking about something.

As for what he was thinking, no one knows.

‘I think he must be a leader of one of the secret orgnaizations.’

After thinking for a moment, Leo concluded the identity of the leader of these city leaders.

Even though he didn’t know what kind of person their leader was, he didn’t care whether that so-called master would be taking revenge on him for killing one of his servants.

That’s right! Even though he already knew almost all the city leaders in this world act righteous on the surface, they were nothing but a bunch of hypocrites who could do things there were unimaginable for the normal heroes and people..

Nevertheless, he didn’t care about them or the world as he was not a samaritan to care for this god-forsaken world. Since Theodore was the only one he had a feud with, Leo planned to kill only him.

‘Also, they lost their forces on the other side of the protal? Is that world that powerful?’

Leo glanced at the portal in the distance from his Secret Dimensional Space and frowned.

After returning from the Beastnet, Leo realized how powerful the other worlds could be.

However, all these city leaders still have the strength of a level 1 to level 3 supreme rank, and adding with their strong rank 9 city guards, and it was a powerful lineup to at least not get massacred.

‘What’s more, Theodore was sure that it was a grade 1 world. It looks like that world is much more powerful than Beastnet.’

Leo’s curiosity about the world connected to the portal increased, and he wanted to enter it.

The more powerful the natives of the world are, the more powerful talents he could swallow and the higher the experience he would gain.

‘No. For now, I will just focus on becoming a supreme-ranked hero and unlock a new system ability by collecting another fragment of the God Stone.’

Leo knew how dangerous the grade 1 worlds could be, no matter how curious he was. So, he decided to upgrade his strength and visit the world connected to the portal.

Of course, he would be taking some powerful followers with him when he entered the portal.

‘System, won’t it be dangerous if such powerful beings enter this gradeless world?’

Suddenly, he heard the city leader raise a question, and he got the same doubt. Hence he asked the system about it.

He was not worried about the world; he was worried about his friends, family, and followers in it.

If the beings in that world are ferocious, they will slaughter everyone in this world before conquering it.

If they were intelligent and could enslave others, they would turn everyone in this world into slaves.

The life of an enslaved being Leo didn’t want to experience again, and more importantly, he didn’t want anyone close to him to experience it.

‘Ding,

The host does not need to worry about it…at least not until the world assessment begins.

‘Ding,

When a portal connects two worlds, the natives of a lower grade world can easily traverse the world; however, the natives from the higher grade world can’t traverse unless they use certain methods.

Soon, the system sent two notifications, explaining to him the rules of the portal connecting two worlds with different grades.

‘Oh’

Leo thought there was no fairness in this world; however, when he heard the rules, he felt there was still a tiny bit left in this world.

‘Then what about after the world assessment begins?’

Since the World Assessment for this world might start anytime after five months.

Five months was not enough for them to beat the native of the grade 1 world.

‘Ding,

When the world assessment begins, there won’t be even that little bit of fairness anymore.

‘…’

Leo remained silent and shook his head before looking at the city leaders who flew in different directions.

‘I think it is time for my revenge.’

…..

Present time,

‘When did he arrive here?’

Seeing Leo’s sudden appearance, the city leader Theodore frowned and silently thought,

‘Did he hear everything? No…even if he didn’t hear, it is better to take care of him.’

Even though Leo might be close to the Starlight Cty’s city leader; however, Theodore didn’t care much about it.

“Kid, I don’t know why you would dare to enter this deep into the Uncleared Land; however, you are staying here forever.”

His master didn’t want anyone to know that Theodore was a servant serving a master. Moreover, Leo witnessed a group of city leaders talking about their ‘Master’. It was more than enough reason to kill Leo.

[Space Manipulation – Secret Dimensional Space]

‘Swoosh’

Just as the city leader Theodore decided to kill Leo to keep his secret a secret, he saw Leo walking into a small portal.

‘Damn it…I forget this bastard as the [Teleportation] talent. I should not let him escape.’

Even though the city leader Theodore didn’t know how, he wanted to find Leo and kill him.

‘Swoosh’

[Spatial Triple Slash – First Slash]

However, before thinking of a plan, he noticed the space in front of him distorted a little as a silver-coloured sword slashed his chest.

‘Clang’

‘Slash’

However, when the sword touched Theodore’s chest, there was a metallic sound as though his body was made of metal.

‘Damn it…the strike is powerful.’

Theodore’s talent was [Metal Manipulation], and he always maintained a thin but strong metallic armor under his skin from sneak attacks.

Even so, Leo’s strike just now left a small cut on the metallic armor beneath his skin, making Theodore take Leo seriously.

‘Does his inner metallic armor was weaker or is it just that my attack is more powerful?’

On the other hand, Leo was not surprised by the inner metallic armor; instead, he was surprised that he could cut through that armor in his first strike itself.

Thanks to his second system upgrade, Leo could now see the full information on level 1 and 2 supreme-ranked beings without a problem. Hence, he already knew about that inner metallic armor.

Therefore, he decided to use his talent [Spatial Triple Slash] that was merged by combining the [Spatial Slash] and the [Triple Strike].

‘It looks like I can make him kneel after I complete my three slashes.’

Leo revealed an evil smile and resumed his attack.

[Spatial Triple Slash – Second Slash]

‘Slash’

‘Aargh’

This time, the slash was much deeper than before. So, Theodore could help but groan in pain and shout, “Why are you trying to kill me? Why did I do that to you?”

“Don’t worry, I will let you know before killing you.”
