Chapter 998 Any Ti
The two tallic birds weren't entirely tallic at all. With a sweep of his Internal Sight, Leonel could see that they had flesh and blood.
The answer, then, seed simple. Weren't these two birds just wearing armor, then? But this wasn't the reality either. The tal wasn't being worn… It *was* them. It was as much their skin as flesh could be. In fact, it seed that there were a few parts of their bodies that could be classified in much the sa way.
If Leonel didn't have such a dislike of Sion, upon stumbling upon his first cyborg sighting, he probably would have felt that this was very cool too. However, unsurprisingly, Sion wasn't a person he liked very much at all.
Even setting aside what Sion had tried to do to him, just the fact Sion treated humans like experintal subjects was enough for Leonel to hate him. Leonel didn't even want to consider what sort of horrid torture these two birds had gone through to reach this state either.
Leonel's gaze swept by Sion, landing on Zannos. It didn't take much deduction at all for Leonel to realize that he was likely the one who had shot the arrow. If not for his bloody nose, the bow he was barely holding onto was a dead giveaway.
However, after looking around so more, Leonel realized that this storm definitely wasn't being caused by these four. This ant that there was a more than 90% probability that they were looking for the creature at the core of all of this just like he was. There was no coincidence that they were in the exact direction Leonel had been heading in considering the sheer vastness of the ocean.
Leonel's eyes narrowed when he rembered was Sion's ability was. If he was allowed to get his hands on such a creature and he controlled its genes to co under his command… Just what kind of devastation would that bring?
Rembering back to how Leonel t Little Blackstar, his grip on his spear rotated slightly. Back then, he had almost killed Little Blackstar just to ensure that he never ended in Sion's hands. Now, it seed that history was replaying itself.
The difference here, though was that while Little Blackstar had only been playful, this beast was costing people their lives.
Leonel had no idea what it was that these hidden families wanted, nor did he understand what their purpose on Earth was. But, what he did know was that when Earth was pushed into a corner facing the people of Terrain, he hadn't seen a single mber of their ilk.
All they had done was show up on Avalon and try to poach away King Arthur and his people. After they failed, they vanished and didn't appear again until now when there were once again benefits to be gained while others were falling and dying in the background.
These sorts of people… They were the kind Leonel abhorred the most.
"I'm going to give you two options." Leonel said coldly. "Either get the hell out of my sight, or you fall beneath my blade."
The fluttering red Force around Sion suddenly surged, his pupils constricting into pinholes. This was most definitely not the Leonel he knew. The Leonel he knew didn't have this edge to him, he didn't have this blood thirsty air. In fact, he didn't have a willingness to kill at all.
That Leonel was like a lion without its claws or a shark without its teeth. But now…
Leonel raised his spear, pointing it between Sion's brows. It was a blatant, undisguised provocation. At that mont, Leonel's aura was palpable. It hung in the air like a violet mist, raising above Sion's own and suffocating it.
"Leonel Morales…" Sion said slowly. ꜰʀᴇᴇwᴇʙɴovᴇʟ.coᴍ
However, what he hadn't expected was for Adrin to suddenly stand out.
"Huh? What did you say Sion?"
Sion frowned, turning his gaze toward Adrin. The coldness in his eyes made Adrin's own gaze narrow, but the latter didn't back down. All four of these young n were on the sa level. On top of that, all of them had entered the Fifth Dinsion. Adrin felt no fear for Sion although the latter's power was great.
Adrin looked away from Sion and toward Leonel, suddenly understanding sothing.
"I can't let you kill him, Sion." Adrin finally said.
"What?" Sion's voice simred like hot coals, his red eyes flashing with added nace.
"Leonel Morales is the na of the man who saved my little sister. I owe him a favor. So, I'll only repeat myself once more. I can't let you kill him, Sion."
Adrin's own aura began to leak out, a dense blue Force wafting about his body. Though he and Sion were about the sa height, Adrin was far broader, making it seem as though he was towering over Sion completely.
"Ha…" Sion released a cold laugh. "… Did you forget why it was that we ca here?"
"All of that is aningless in the face of my little sister's life." Adrin replied coldly.
"So you're going to stand in my way no matter what? Do you really want to war against my Brazinger Family?"
"Since when as my Adurna Family been afraid of you all? I'm sure you know best that we're the ones who best counter your Lineage Factor. Do you want to have a try to see how that'll work out for you? I'll give you a sneak peek."
Adrin wasn't wrong. If the Brazinger family was the absolute pinnacle of offense, then the Adurna family was the absolute pinnacle of defense. It almost felt like nature knew they were ant to clash, coloring them both blue and red.
Adrin turned to Leonel without another glance toward Sion.
"Little Nana has told a lot about you, so consider this my thanks. I won't allow them to interfere and you can take this as repaynt. Next ti we et on the battlefield, though, we will most likely be enemies."
Adrin was confident in saying this even if Zannos and Elilar chose to side with Sion in this matter. When it ca to stalling and buying ti, no one was his better.
Leonel gave Adrin a deep look before nodding and shooting off into the distance, his three pillars following closely behind him.
"… I'll make you regret this, Adrin."
Sion's voice had once again returned to neutrality, his Force vanishing and even his twin pair of tallic birds having disappeared. He regained his composure so quickly that it almost felt too ridiculous.
Adrin's eyes narrowed. "Any ti."
