The Last Incubus with The Vice and Valor System Chapter 88: The Way Of An Assassin

In the arena, the crowd's murmurs and gasps faded into the background as Leon stood over Euwen, his blade resting lightly on his opponent's neck.

This mont wasn't just about victory; it was a testant to Leon's understanding of the fundantal weaknesses that existed within every being.

Every entity, no matter how strong or resilient, has a weakness. Nothing is truly perfect. The human body, despite its incredible capabilities, is no exception.

One of its most vulnerable points lies in the back of the knee. A simple force applied correctly can render a person helpless, forcing them to their knees.

Biologically, the knee joint is complex. It's a hinge joint that connects the thigh bone (femur) to the shin bone (tibia), with the kneecap (patella) providing protection.

The joint is supported by ligants and tendons that allow for movent and stability.

However, this intricate network also has a point of vulnerability. The popliteal fossa, a shallow depression located at the back of the knee, houses nerves, blood vessels, and tendons.

A well-placed strike here disrupts the balance and support of the joint, causing the leg to collapse involuntarily.

Leon, having been raised by assassin parents, had studied the human physique ticulously.

Night and day, he pored over anatomical diagrams, dissected the intricacies of muscle groups, and observed the biochanics of movent.

His relentless pursuit of understanding led him to discover this significant weakness. It was a revelation that had profound implications, not just in combat but in everyday life.

He recalled the day he presented his findings to his parents. This research was given to him by them.

They had been astounded by his depth of insight. The smiles they gave him were a mix of pride and amazent, recognizing the value of his discovery.

Leon had managed to uncover this intricate detail within a week, without the aid of the internet or external resources.

Even with internet connection, This knowledge was not sothing readily available or easily found in the net, as even when revealed the audience that might co across it won't appreciate how valuable such info is.

It was often overlooked by the mundane world, but for assassins, soldiers, martial artists and those with similar military capability, mindset and a similar scope of work, it was invaluable.

The back of the knee is a critical spot to guard in battle. If an opponent can bypass other defenses and strike there, they can bring even the strongest warrior to their knees.

It's mostly used to dismantle or capture an opponent without too many injuries, but even in real battle revealing such weak spot to a knowledgeable opponent might prove to be extrely bad.

This knowledge made Leon exceptionally dangerous. He understood that while animals, particularly four-legged ones, had similar weaknesses, their anatomical structure protected these spots better.

Their their bendable knees were located in their forelegs not the hind leg, that positioning make it useless to try to make use of the weakness...

The weakness waas not located in the hind legs were it can easily be striked and made use of, this makes the weakness useless, going for the spot won't make sense since they're are other weaknesses in a forelegged animal body...

In humans, the vulnerability was more exposed, making it a crucial point of attack in close combat.

In this world, Leon applied the sa principles he had learned on Earth. Strength could mitigate the effects of this weakness, but it couldn't eliminate it entirely.

Even with enhanced physical abilities or protective armor, the vulnerability remained. The key was in the balance of leverage and precision, striking with enough force to exploit the weakness effectively.

Leon's understanding of this weak point was what had allowed him to swiftly and decisively incapacitate Euwen.

While any other thod would have worked, Euwen won't easily accept defeat if Leon had used any other thod, being forced to such disgracing position ant he has no choice but to accept defeat lest he loose more face and disgrace himself further...

A few seconds passed before the spectators were able to overco the shock of Leon defeating Euwen. This was a result none of them had expected.

Euwen, kneeling disgracefully at the center of the battered arena, and Leon's katana resting on his neck—this was definitely not how they thought this duel would end.

They had bet on Euwen with the hope of seeing Leon's pretty face being crushed. They imagined Euwen's powerful attacks disfiguring Leon's delicate features, leaving him bloodied and broken.

Even when Leon revealed that he wasn't what they thought him to be, they still hoped. With each trump card Euwen unveiled, they clung to the belief that their wild imaginations of Leon's defeat could beco a reality.

But now, reality had dawned upon them, and it was quite shocking.

The arena erupted in a mixture of gasps and murmurs. So spectators were in awe of Leon's speed and skill, while others couldn't believe what they had just witnessed.

"He did it! Leon actually did it!" Stay tuned to m-v l|e'-

"That was incredible! Did you see how fast he moved?"

"I thought Euwen had him for sure. Leon's speed and precision are unmatched."

"I bet Euwen didn't even see it coming. But to think Leon had been hiding this ability all this while...."

Among those who had bet on Euwen, despair was evident on their faces.

"I can't believe this... Euwen actually lost," one man muttered, almost on the verge of tears as he rembered the amount of money he had lost.

"All my life savings, gone. Just like that..."

Others around him shared the sa sentint, shaking their heads in disbelief and frustration.

"I was so sure Euwen would win. What am I going to do now?"

"This is a disaster. How could he lose to soone like Leon?"

Leon stood over Euwen, his katana steady. Euwen's face was pale. Even though he had a feeling he might lose during the battle, he never thought he would lose in such a humiliating way.

If he wasn't in this situation, his stubborn heart would definitely try to fight back and not give up, as that would be a disgrace to him. But in this disgraceful situation, not accepting defeat might actually cause him to lose more face.

When he challenged Leon, never—not even once—had he expected this result. So right now, the current him was shocked to the core; reality was hard for him to accept. Only after a few monts did he grit his teeth and say, "I lost."

Leon released his katana from Euwen's neck and said, "For a mont, after wasting ti accepting defeat, I actually thought you were planning to do sothing stupid. Fortunately for you, you're not as stupid as I thought you were."

Euwen could only clench his fists and remain silent at Leon's obviously mocking words. If he spoke a word to retort, he'd disgrace himself further in public.

Leon's eyes scoured through the crowd of spectators, finally landing on Alia. A warm smile spread across his face as she waved at him excitedly, her emotions soaring now that he had won.

From the mont he accepted Euwen's challenge, Alia had trusted in Leon's ability to win, but watching the battle was a torturous experience for her. Each close call made her heart race, and every terrifying attack from Euwen and his golems heightened her worry.

She sighed with relief every ti Leon managed to evade injury or death, and although she was tempted to close her eyes until it was over, she couldn't bring herself to look away.

She knew Leon would be happy if she watched him defeat the foe who sought to disgrace him publicly. By defeating Euwen, Leon had proved himself and silenced every antagonist to their relationship. He had shown that her choice to be with him was no mistake.

A tiny tear of joy stread down her face as she waved at him happily. She longed to run to him and hug him right then and there but felt too embarrassed to do so in front of everyone.

She decided to wait until he ca closer before embracing him. Beside her, Elara was actually smiling happily despite the fact that her husband lost.

At a secluded spot, the Ice Queen Seraphina watched Leon and his exchange with Alia, a smile playing on her lips.

There was sothing everyone else had overlooked in this battle, sothing she had discovered. This revelation further solidified her belief that Leon was a strong cultivation master.

She turned to the Viscount beside her and asked in a cold voice, "Did you notice anything?"

The Viscount shook his head, curious about what she had discovered. While the result was unexpected for many, he and Seraphina had anticipated it. Still, he was intrigued by her question.

"Didn't you notice?" Seraphina continued, her excitent barely contained. "Despite the intense battle, Leon doesn't have a single injury, not even a scratch or tear on his robe. Don't you find that intriguing?"

The Viscount's eyes widened at this realization. "Indeed..." he murmured, astonished.
