Chapter 456: A Strange Thing

Chapter 456: A Strange Thing

Formidable.

Leons words were calm, yet exceptionally cold.

Lylia, wielding her own sword and Giornos, assumed a grand stance before Leon.

This is my line! Hah!

As Lylia rushed, she slashed at Leon. The crossing of her blades created a powerful shockwave, slicing through the monsters in the vicinity. However, Leon effortlessly evaded it.

Lylia tried thrusting at Leon while he was airborne, but only got her blade seized by him, who used the momentum to change his stance and stand on the swords edge.

!

Lylia kicked up the swords tip, attempting to disrupt Leons balance. However, Leon glided down softly, landing again on the swords edge.

Then, Lylia decided to let go of her sword.

Hmm?

As Leon lost his footing, Lylia went at him with her other sword.

Holding it two-handed, the power and speed of the swing were nearly doubled.

Earth Block!

Judging evasion to be difficult, Leon concentrated arcane energy in his right hand, invoking a partial defensive spell. Leons right hand was solidified with a sturdy fortification of rock, deflecting Lylias powerful slash.

!?

The impact had enough force to send Leon flying.

Lylia followed up with a pursuit, attacking the rolling Leon.

In a flash, she recovered her sword and unleashed a cross of shockwaves similar to before.

Leon, caught off guard, had no choice but to withstand the attack and withstand it he did, grabbing them with his hands right before they hit him.

Tch! Youre way too good at this!

Lylias attacks were so powerful that one wrong move could spell his doom but despite being cornered, Leon had intercepted them without sustaining any damage.

Leons expression was undaunted by his opponents strength and in response to this, Lylia was at least a little bit frightened by the rightful Holy Emperors extraordinary talent.

My turn now.

Although told to switch roles, Lylia could not easily concede.

However, Leon had enough strength left to make it happen.

!

Leon, instantaneously releasing his arcane energy, was surrounded by a storm-like aura. The intimidating special move, the Ultimate Limit, left Lylia with a momentary opening. Naturally, her opponents ability to invoke all learned spells and magecraft effortlessly put Lylia on guard against magical attacks.

Therefore, Leons action was designed to surprise.

What Leon displayed was strength. The physical feat of seizing Lylias swords.

What the!?

Having both her weapons taken away, Lylia chose to step back, creating distance.

In the meantime, Leon skillfully rotated the swords around and held them by their hilts.

A warrior losing their weapons Surely you know what it symbolizes.

Lylia, former Fighter of the Holy Warriors, had had her lifeline her swords taken away. Leon, the one who had made it so, wore a faint smile. However, Lylia did not retreat. Clashing her fists together, she took a deep breath, lowered her stance, and glared at Leon.

Are you that scared of my swords? Think a warrior cant fight without weapons?

Well, can you? Show me.Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates

Leon readied the swords in his hands as Lylia charged at him.

His powerful sword swings, narrowly missing Lylia, prompted the latter to throw her fist at Leon. The force of her blow, powerful enough to snuff out a monsters life from a distance, tensed Leons face.

In the myriad of feints, there were hints of actual punches and it was the same for Leons slashes. There was a definite difference between them, however.

The three looked up.

Meteorain was originally a wide-range magic spell that showered massive rocks like rain. However, the three knew nothing about the magic Billy unleashed.

What they saw falling from the sky were undoubtedly enormous rocks.

However, the force of them was beyond what they knew.

The rocks fell at a speed surpassing the speed of sound, resembling meteorites, causing extensive damage over a vast area.

Naturally, it rained down on both the Resistance and the monsters.

Witnessing Billys ruthlessness and disregard for his allies, the expressions of the trio became stern.

KAHHHHHH!

Dodging the falling meteorites, Haiko rushed toward Billy.

Rise! Earth Control!

Jeanne and Viola created a roof of earth to stop the falling meteorites, making an effort to assist Haiko in any way they could. The two then invoked Swift Magic.

Venom Fire!

Heavens Vermilion!

Jeanne unleashed an intoxicating flame, while Viola chose a wide-ranging scorching spell, directing them towards Billy.

They had meticulously calculated the positions from which they unleashed their spells. That did not mean they were totally undodgeable, of course, but in the only path Billy could dodge, Haiko was there, waiting.

As such, without hesitation, Billy made his choice The choice to not dodge.

His face, bathed in the magical flames, was filled with delight.

Hahahaha! Pathetic! Absolutely pathetic! I almost want to ask if you were truly following in the footsteps of THE Gaston!

Oh cmon!

Damn you!

The damage dealt was next to nothing. Jeanne and Viola were astounded by Billys armor-like exterior.

At this point, Haiko, the Heavenly Beast, distanced himself from Billy. He had no choice but to do that.

[Strange. Those were direct hits from large-scale spells cast by the two who performed the Limit Breakthrough. It should have made an impact. This man named Billy WHAT is he, really? Hes not just an ordinary Devil!]

Haikos vigilance naturally got through to Jeanne and Viola.

This caution led to a passive approach to their attack, giving Billy significant leeway on the battlefield.

Billys significant confidence was synonymous with his ability to sense arcane energy on the battlefield.

[Hmph, Cleath is retreating. Hmm? Idas arcane energy is rapidly decreasing And what is this!?]

Billy, sensing the arcane energy of Ida, whom Irene and Warren were fighting, looked toward the south.

Taking advantage of Billys momentary lapse, Haiko moved to attack, but Billy stepped on Haikos head and distanced himself from the battlefield.

Chasing Billy, who had once again turned to flee, was impossible unless it was Ts or Asley.

Whyd he run away?

In response to Jeannes question, Viola replied,

It would be more correct to say that he let us go!

Perhaps out of frustration, Viola clenched her fist strongly. Seeing this, Haiko glanced at the southern sky.

(That calm mind and strength He is a formidable opponent!)

However, Haikos concerns were short-lived, as the northern sky turned red.

It was not at the battlefield where Asley and Lucifer were having their decisive battle. Rather, it was due to the intense fight that occurred in the area right past it.

! Miss Pochi!

Indeed, it was the fierce battle between Asleys Familiar, Pochi, and Lucifers Familiar, Hell Emperor.
