The sword howl caused many to narrow their gazes. Even amongst the weaker older generation, they felt the need to take this attack seriously.
They couldn't fathom how soone in the Sixth Dinsion could possibly deal with such a strike. In fact, they didn't know many Seventh Dinsional existences in Tier 1 that could deal with it, not without ending up in a sorry ss, that is.
However, Leonel's smile didn't fade. In fact, he didn't even move.
A shadow seed to appear from Leonel's side.
Jas seed to co from nowhere. Placing a foot on the rail of the flagship, he reached out a palm toward the coming sword blade.
Many frowned when they saw this, did this young man want to lose his hand? But sothing most couldn't have expected occurred.
BANG!
Jas' fingers clawed downward, grabbing the golden Sword Force and squeezing down.
The sound of shattering glasses echoed as the Sword Force dispersed into a whirlwind, the bits and shards echoing into the distance.
Many stunned gazes landed on Jas. His hand was uninjured, there wasn't even the slightest scratch on it. It seed that he had casually dealt with it without even the slightest discomfort.
"How rude," Jas clicked his tongue. "What are you doing attacking a clone like that? If you're mad, wait till you're face to face. Doing things like this just makes you seem petty."
It was only after Jas said it that everyone seed to realize that the current Leonel lacked sothing. This wasn't sothing others could normally see through, but with the number of Eighth Dinsional existences here, there were no small number of them that could see the difference. Fooling the eyes of such experts was especially difficult, especially when they knew what they were looking for.
It was no wonder they couldn't sense Leonel's exact Tier. Most had assud that he was speaking nonsense when he said that he could enter the Seventh Dinsion in a year. But if his clone was powerful to the extent of fooling so many eyes, then what about his real body?
But even more importantly than that... Ary was a genius that many knew of. In fact, he was well known as the first since Velasco and Cynthia to be at such a level. So who was this young man who could resolve his attack with a hand?
Just as many were lost in thought, another figure suddenly appeared. It was a young woman with a body filled with hidden and explosive muscles. She appeared by Leonel's side with a hint of fury in her eyes, her hair fluttering with Blade Force.
Emna reached a finger forward and tapped at the air.
At that mont, a blade howl the likes of which didn't seem to lose out to Ary in the slightest appeared, concentrating on her fingertip with a radiant golden light.
Ary's eyes narrowed, however an instant later, his pupils constricted.
Without hesitation, he unsheathed his second blade, taking a step forward and swinging.
BANG! BANG!
Ary's arms trembled and he was forced to take a step back. His eyes widened and released a low roar, his aura flourishing as he resolved the attack. Even so, he was forced to take yet another step back.
Jas winced. "Oof, that's a little bit embarrassing"
Ary had attacked Leonel, and yet the result was one of Leonel's n resolving it with ease, and a second one of Leonel's n forcing him back.
For soone who had such an undefeated legend, if this wasn't embarrassing, then nothing else could be.
The worst part was that no one seed to recognize who these two people were. They were complete unknowns and only one of them seed to have the aura of Earth, sothing the powerhouses were only now becoming familiar with. That ant that using Earth as an excuse didn't seem to be enough...
Emna didn't seem satisfied, and wanted to attack again, but before she could, Leonel raised a hand.
Seeing this, Emna didn't hesitate to take a step back, her obedience making the striking difference all the more obvious.
Ancestor Alvaro nodded inwardly. It seed that there was a difference between Leonel and his father after all. While they were both extrely arrogant, Velasco was not a leader and never had an interest in it. Leonel, however... It seed that he was quite capable.
"You rember different, hm?" Leonel smiled. "Funny words coming from soone who couldn't withstand a few arrows."
Ary stabilized himself, his gaze still tranquil as he looked up toward Leonel.
Ary stabilized himself, his gaze still tranquil as he looked up toward Leonel.
"But I don't really feel like rehashing the past. Since everyone is here, I think that there's sothing far more important to talk about, don't you think?"
"What compensation do you all plan to give ?"
The eyes of many narrowed, the atmosphere falling into silence.
"Hm? Nothing?" Leonel chuckled. "Feigning ignorance is fine if your goal is to only seem more like a worthless bunch of elitists, even more so than your actions today would suggest. None of you find it funny that the geniuses you're sending forward to participate in the Heirs Wars wouldn't even be here to participate if not for ?"
"The Morales family shares my blood and they don't hesitate to step out to protect . But what are the rest of you worth to ?"
By this point, it was all too obvious what Leonel was referring to. Faced with this, there was little they could say.
"It's funny. I should have returned a hero, but the first thing that happened to when I returned to the Void Palace was an interrogation and pressure to hand in a thod that was mine to begin with."
"Fine, that much is fine. My research and results could be ga changing for the Human Domain, I might be inclined to help out if the feeling was reciprocated. But not long after that, Shield Cross Stars ca to arrest as though I truly was a fugitive."
"As though that wasn't enough, I'm also now suddenly a ticking ti bomb that needs to be dealt with just because I have Fawkes and Morales blood coursing within ."
Leonel's smile suddenly faded, a dense violet fog exuding from him and enveloping the flagship.
"My patience is very limited and my temper isn't good."
"I'll tell you all right now, since you don't want to acknowledge the fact so many of you owe your lives to , I'll keep count of the debt myself. I don't have a need for your pity."
"I'll collect those debts back one by one. If you dare to send your geniuses in, I'll dare to kill them. If you send in one, I will kill one. If you send in ten, I will kill ten."
"As many co is as many as you'll lose. Consider it as a repaynt of your debt."
"Your lives belonged to to begin with."
Leonel rose to his feet.
These people thought that he was so sort of live target that they could casually hunt. It was only right that they ca to understand how he saw things, that they ca to understand the reality of things.
He wasn't the prey, they were. He wasn't the hunted, they were.
He was half Morales but no less of a madman.
[There might, potentially, be no third chapter today. If there is one, it will be much much later. I will try my best, sorry everyone. This month and next month will be quite hectic for ]
