Chapter 76: Ender! Ender! Ender!
Leon's heart burned as Louise's raw mana slipped inside his body.
He knew she wasn't dead and would return to his side soon. But the fact that he couldn't stop her from sacrificing herself had left him stunned and disappointed. He no longer smiled but looked down with his lips and eyes tightly shut. He also felt Celes' hugging him from behind, giving him more warmth.
Louise's words reverberated in Leon's mind.
[You're my sun, so don't die, Master!]
"I'll not leave this realm without that dragon in my inventory." Leon declared, already knowing that he'd miss Louise from today on.
He glanced behind at Celes. She was a strong woman with many unique skills, but on this last day, she wouldn't be able to help him, particularly against the dragon.
He wasn't also mad at Celes for stopping him, for deep inside, he knew it had been Louise's wish.
And he shared his wish with her. "I'll turn you into a card and summon you back once I leave this realm."
Celes didn't even bother questioning his words. "Yes, Master. I'll await the news."
After the vampiress disappeared into Leon's inventory as a card, Leon looked ahead. He picked up Louise's precious equipnt, stuffing it in his inventory. It was still foggy around, but the dragon simply couldn't hide her presence.
Additionally, she had been shocked by what had just occurred. After all, Louise had perfectly fended off her roar, devouring it with her body. In a normal scenario, her roar would've killed her and Leon, then it would spread in every direction, drowning other humans.
But that hadn't happened.
And now, the dragon felt soone's piercing eyes.
She knew that those belonged to Leon.
Leon walked forward, his vision sward by ssages.
[Louise has turned into a raw mana and took a dwelling within your heart.]
[Your peak humanity body and the scarlet fox's body perfectly match.]
[You've received imnse fire resistance.]
[Your mana has intertwined with Louise's mana.]
[Your fire skills have been temporarily upgraded.]
[Louise needs a year to rest within you, but you can bring her back earlier with appropriate thods.]
[You have borrowed so of Louise's mana.]
[An unknown existence has given you her mana instead.]
Leon couldn't distinguish any difference between the last system ssages, so he inferred that he'd borrowed sothing that Louise had deeply hidden within herself. She was a legendary foxy, so he wasn't surprised that her body hid more power. In fact, it encouraged him to go for more.
Leon slowly changed.
His hair turned scarlet, and a profound fire of legendary grade flickered within his eyes. He received an aura of imnse hotness that burned Winterborn's snowy forest, putting it on flas. Everything glowed in his wake as he ambled to the dragon, whose eyes rocked in fear.
Alexandra parted her jaw again, gathering more of her mana.
At the sa ti, the spirit monsters surrounded him. Flying birds spoke an ancient language, coating their bodies in sharp and lively green mana. They then swirled and plumted, aiming for Leon's neck.
But when they ca close to him, Leon raised his left hand.
[You have activated Nine Fire Spirits Art.]
He summoned one flickering spirit that instantly grew in size. It beca so vast that all monsters couldn't swerve and escape the trap. In the end, all of them sank into the fire ball.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" All sang their pain in unison as fla tongues licked their bodies and souls.
Unfazed, Leon continued his march. He dropped his left hand low, for he didn't need to keep it up to control the vast fire ball above him — it heeded his wish, following him.
Leon only reacted when the dragon's second roar escaped her mouth. That laser beam went straight at him, but it was much thinner and weaker, for Alexandra used only her mana.
She also felt like she didn't have much ti.
Leon's right arm burst with flas, and his chains instantly ran away from him, forming a circle before their master. He instantly shoved his hand inside those chains, forming a vast flathrower that howled and barreled like a dragon into Alexandra's roar.
It took over the skies, devouring her elent. Even the usual reaction didn't occur.
Moreover, the flas slamd into her. She lost control of her wings and plunged down, leaving a black smoke trail — a sign of her first defeat against Leon. Her vast form smashed many lives to death, resulting in Alexandra leveling up. She regained better colors and her stats.
But Leon was on the sa path, just on a much greater scale. His legendary skill beca like a mini sun that kept spreading his aura far and wide.
Spirit monsters simply couldn't escape from him as their bodies beca kindled with flas, quickly burning to death. Brave monsters fell to that mini sun, experiencing the worst tornt of their lives.
With so many of them inside, Leon's powers kept increasing. He had abundant stats, and his mana points tripled with Louise's mana intertwined.
Leon was unstoppable.
But Alexandra didn't give in. If her roar didn't work, she would use more. She arched her dragon's head back and scread at the skies, calling down the sharp rain. She aid to kill more people to level up and ensure enough stats to deal with Leon.
Then, she crawled on the ground, marching against the human.
Soon, their eyes t.
Leon kicked the ground and flew to her, with sparks flicking in his wake. He balled his right hand and made a superman punch pose, preparing to bring down that piece of shit of a woman.
Alexandra made a similar move, raising her sharp claw and coating it with her mana.
When their punches t, Leon's physique ca out on top. His opponent's claw bent in the opposite direction, taking away so of her mobility as she wailed in pain.
He quickly leveraged that and slipped below her vast form.
His mini sun disappeared.
And as Leon unclenched his right hand, it ca out from his palm, blasting up the blue dragon!
"Ahhh!" Though she did her best to not let out any sound, Alexandra's painful groans filled the realm, giving hope to all humans and Winterborn.
She took over the skies again, but this ti, as a prisoner. Leon's skill was so powerful that she reverted to the humanoid form, sinking into his mini sun.
And as it hovered above everyone, the real tornt began, with the dragon thrashing amidst the ravenous flas. It chewed on her soul and body, eating its way to her bones from both inside and outside.
She couldn't hide or do anything about it — hugging or scratching herself just made things worse. When she tried to muster her strong will to deal with that, Leon's flas pulled and twisted her soul more, burning. It was as though soone else helped him notice those little details as Leon focused on keeping his skill activated.
The tornt of the sun kept the dragon conscious, too.
And while Alexandra scread out of her lungs, that sun inspired awe.
Leon, who stood below it with his hand high, soon heard the crowd's voices.
"Ender! Ender! Ender!"
Everyone saw his nickna, his identity.
With his hand high, Leon stood like his past self, surrounded by an excited and grateful crowd. It was similar to his victory pose…
But because Louise couldn't see that mont and he kept Celes safe in her card form, Leon didn't relish that mont.
Everything felt so different, so colorless...
At that mont, sothing shifted within Leon.
He'd nearly given up on his entire past self, keeping only a sweet mory of Athena and his happy parents.
[You have killed Blue Thanatos, Alexandra Aquarisen Lv. 58]
[You have dominated her body, heart, and soul. You can turn her into a perfect slave.]
[You have turned Blue Thanatos, Alexandra Aquarisen, into a card.]
And after the massacre he'd done, Leon's level skyrocketed.
[Leon Blade Lv. 73 HP: 85 570 MP: 240 000]
The mini-sun disappeared, and so did everyone else.
[You have left the spirit split realm.]
Looking at Leon from afar, Winterborn exchanged a few glances.
Erika shook her head and put on her hood. "She's gone… At least we've seen her demise. We should fully recuperate and return ho." The snow woman narrowed her eyes, then promptly closed them. "I'll invite Ender to our lands. But I don't think he's in the mood for any invitation…."
"You're right, though." A white bird agreed with that decision. "He prefers monster girls and wields a unique and profound power. Relationships ford from early days tend to survive the longest."
"Yes."
[Author's note: Louise is gone, but just for a while. Don't get too worried about her. She won't disappear for like hundred chaps. In other words, believe in Lord Sixth. Thanks for power stones, gold tickets, comnts. Appreciate all.]
