Using the dagger's power might derail his plans, but it was far preferable to everyone perishing and their relics being pilfered.
A hot luminescent bluish light began to coalesce around the dagger Bill clenched.
Unable to resist the dagger's formidable power, the surrounding air began to burn.
'One shot. The mont they enter, I'll unleash everything into this one strike.'
Even if the intruder bore the fate of a predator, they wouldn't be fully on guard until the door swung open.
No, if he landed the hit, it was even plausible to claim their life in return.
The booming noise was now directly outside.
'Please...!'
Despite his ragged breathing, Bill's concentration was at its pinnacle. As he tightly gripped the dagger.
Finally, the sturdy wooden door was blasted to smithereens.
And from behind it, a shadowy figure erged.
At that mont.
From Bill's dagger, a concentrated blast of fiery energy was unleashed, tamorphosing into a massive fla dragon in an instant, toward the intruder, Leon.
Fla Dragon Breath.
The most potent attack Bill could muster with his dagger.
As anticipated, the fla dragon burned everything it grazed, and within seconds, it stood directly before Leon.
'Hit...!'
At that mont, a sense of exhilaration filled Bill's eyes.
At that mont.
Everyone in the room, including him, witnessed it.
Slowly yet swiftly.
The dium-length sword swung by Leon.
From that sword, a line was carved into reality.
SWISH!
A blackish line cut through the air.
The air seed to be paused as the line seamlessly cut everything.
Like a canvas that had been engraved with a black brush with such smoothness, the lines without leaving behind any catastrophic destruction just cleared the enemy.
Leon stood stunned as he watched the fla Dragon breath roaring at him, now halved and vanishing into thin air.
Truth be told, he hadn't expected such an attack when he had unlocked the full expanse of his power. That's why he had quickly drawn the exitus without even summoning his Martial spirit.
After training, he could use the power of darkness but it was difficult to integrate it into sword strike as the sword cut drawn by him would always explode creating a ss.
Not that it matters to him, but this attack that just cut the target really felt smooth.
"Hmm! It seems the more I fight, the more my proficiency will increase.."
Nevertheless, it was a stroke of luck.
As Leon wrapped up his thoughts, he saw the green-haired man and the rest, frozen in place, staring at him.
Their mouths hung open slightly, as though they couldn't understand what they had just witnessed.
"H-how could this be…"
The man's trembling voice, finally breaking the silence, echoed around them.
The power of a legendary relic.
Furthermore, it was one of the abilities of the Fla Dragon that can burn down everything unleashed.
Despite being a small part of the original artifact, its power was unbelievable.
It wasn't a force that could be easily vanquished with a single slash.
And the spectacle of it vanishing was even stranger.
It didn't look like it had been sliced by swordsmanship, but more like it had vanished the mont it touched the short sword's line.
"Can this really happen?"
Ignoring Bill's bewildernt, Leon strode toward him.
"B-block him!"
The other Black Demons mbers around him dashed towards Leon.
From the get-go, it was futile trying to stop Leon, who had wiped out an entire branch of the group single-handedly.
Leon, holding only a sword, was ruthlessly taking down the mber.
Countless sword marks are drawn in the air.
Pieces of blood, at, and flesh started flying around and then rained down on the flow.
So tried to self-destruct while so burned their lives to increase their power but all of this beca futile.
After all, everyone associated with Black Demons were crazies who longed for the world to end.
Leon was not so generous as to show these monsters rcy.
"I wouldn't have spared them regardless."
To Leon, it didn't matter if his opponent was evil or good when it ca to deciding their fate.
What mattered was if they could be of use to him.
"Aaaaaah!"
Then, Bill, who had gathered another blast of hot air with the sa intensity as before, lunged at Leon with his dagger.
Or at least, he tried to.
But before he could.
Leon's sword appeared in front of him like a ghost, severing the right hand holding the dagger.
"Ah..."
Bill blankly stared at his severed wrist, now flung into the air.
The last thing he saw before his death was...
"You can't pull the sa trick twice."
Accompanied by Leon's soft voice...
A jet-black sword light filled his view.
'That is...'
Having taken out the last branch head, Bill, Leon noticed a red hot dagger turning into a white dagger resting on the ground as he scanned his surroundings.
His eyes lit up with curiosity.
He strolled over and picked up the dagger.
Just by holding it, a hot temperature seeped out, threatening to burn his whole body.
'System, what's this?'
[A dagger made from the canine of Fla Dragon Pyrodrake.]
Leon felt that the dagger was a bit unusual.
"Is it related to the protagonist?''
[Yes]
Leon looked at the slaughter all around.
He was now in the hall and at the end, there were huge runes and engraving with a middle consisting of a blood pool.
He was damn sure that the blood was of humans. Maybe other species are also it but it consists mostly of humans.
Most of his forces were left to guard against the black demon in the academy.
He didn't want to take a chance and leave the safety of Gwen and Su Lin to others. Also, he attached a few ghosts to a few protagonists.
A few monts later, the ghost ca up with the news.
It seems that are collecting the pieces of Fla Dragon as there were a lot of materials and tracking materials on it.
As for the purpose, there wasn't anything that could indicate that.
As he pondered this, Leon pocketed the dagger when...
Footsteps echoed towards him.
'Are they coming now?'
"Today's my lucky day."
Murmuring this, Leon started planning his next steps.
Soon, he saw the blood pool lit up.
A dense blood qi seed to concede around.
The undergoing seed to quiver and soon, a blood-reddish light exploded.
"They appeared outside. Let take my stance first."
Though the number seed to be in hundred Leon's face remained calm.
"What is this?"
A scream rang around.
A group charged in, completely shattering the already damaged door.
Leading the group was a black demon Demorgan who seems to be the branch head followed by a feeble-looking Elf Aerin.
"You appear... unscathed."
Upon seeing Leon standing untouched in the middle of the room, shock appeared on everyone's face.
The room was filled with bodies.
The eyes of these bodies were brimming with fear, as though they hadn't had a chance to fight back.
Seeing their looks, Leon answered..,
"I wanted to ask them if they liked my treatnt, alas all of them passed away before answering so…"
He lifted his sword and pointed at them.
"I also feel that you are lonely but don't worry, I will call them to awaken you.."
"Mu fellow ghosts...Its ti to welco guests."
"AWAKEN!"
