YM778.TV Chapter 215 One Sided
"Consider my previous deal, Blood God. With the three of us, we will be able to win against anyone. We will rule the continent for the next thousand years!" The Fire King pleaded.
"Do you know the difference between you and the Bandit King? He was willing to die taking revenge for the woman he loved, even if no one knew about his relationship with her. But you don\'t even care as long as you can get out alive. Would I want someone like that on my side?" Leo asked him.
"Of course not, but I swear to be an ally who will remain loyal to you at all times. You letting me live will be a favor that I will not forget. Please let me-"
He was droning on which made Leo irritated. His right arm moved by itself and the spear in his hand shot toward the Fire King.
He dodged the attack while regaining his bitter look.
"If it\'s going to be this way, then don\'t forget. I am the Fire King, the one with the highest affinity to the Fire Attribute. Defeating me will not be as easy as you think."
He brought out a huge mace from his ring and held it in front of him. The mace was a very unorthodox weapon that Leo hadn\'t seen before but it didn\'t deter him at all. His spear was replaced by the halberd and he faced off the person.
At this point, Leo was no longer feeling any sort of tension when he was fighting since he no longer cared about anything except the fight. He wanted to fight and kill the person in front of him. That was all that mattered.
And once he killed the person, he would absorb the essence that he could extract. After that, he would move on to the next person and repeat. So when he suddenly lost control over his body, he got incredibly upset.
The body moved on its own and started to fight the Fire King. But for the first time, Leo started to fight back for control. He was done being pushed out of control whenever the body deemed it necessary. What he wanted to do was kill the person in front of him and he wanted to do it by himself.
He concentrated heavily on moving his body by himself, but that failed to achieve anything. This wasn\'t his first attempt doing that so it was unsurprising that it ended in failure. Since he wasn\'t gaining control of the body, he decided to do what Nefrati did - try to gain partial control.
Instead of concentrating on the entire body, he focused his mind only on his left hand. After thinking heavily about moving the hand by himself, he suddenly felt his left hand was free. The rest of his body still moved by itself and he felt like an immovable brick, but now he could feel his left hand.
At this stage, it wasn\'t making as much of a difference in the fight because the Blood God was dominating over the Fire King. Every attack thrashed him to the corners of the dome they were in and made him bleed.
The Fire King seemed to be blocking every attack with his mace, but the shockwave that the slashes and thrusts were creating was slowly adding to the damage.
Once Leo got control over one hand, he decided that it wasn\'t enough. He wanted more and he needed to do it quickly. If he blundered and took too much time, it would allow the Fire King to attack him when he was defenseless.
His mind concentrated on regaining control over other parts of the body which happened smoothly. Once he was in control of the torso and chest, the body seemed to have given up. Leo got back in control by himself for the first time.
He looked up at the Fire King who rose up. His eyes were different than before. Previously they seemed to have calmed down and his attacks were very methodical. It was clear that he was slowly wearing his opponent out while making sure nothing happened to him.
But now, his eyes showed a crazy bloodthirsty look. It made even the Fire King take a step back in fear. The look was something he would only expect from someone who was backed up in a corner and was willing to even risk their lives to kill and get out. It didn\'t make sense for someone in such a superior position to have eyes like those.
Unlike before, his next attack was filled with aura. There was no attempt at conserving it as the halberd swung diagonally at the Fire King. The slash was quick but he dodged in the nick of time. It wasn\'t a perfect dodge though.
The attack was able to sever his arm from his body. Along with that, it also sliced the Blood Dome that Dmitri had created around them. That was how powerful the attack was.
The Fire King grasped his hand with pain as he tried to escape from the dome. However, another attack came before he could move away. Leo wasn\'t trying to make his opponent feel pain. He only wanted to kill him and take his blood and aura.
So the strike was going for the head and it cleanly did its job. The head flew off the body into the air. Before anything could go anywhere, Leo summoned the aura inside the body and absorbed it. Once that was done, he let the body drop to the ground.
The falling body was high up in the air - almost a mile. While it fell onto the ground, the majority of soldiers didn\'t know what was going on. Only the general and the 6th Circle Aura Knights did.
"Retreat!" The general shouted. Now that the commanders were both dead, he was the highest rank in control. He wanted to get the soldiers out of the battlefield that had the Blood God as soon as possible.
His command puzzled everyone. Not because it was a retreat, but because they didn\'t know where to go. Typically, they would only receive instructions about a retreat when they attacked other armies.
This would be about where to retreat to. But now they didn\'t have those instructions because they were defending their home base. No one ever considered that they would be trying to retreat from someone who did something as brave as attacking them at their own base.
But who expected two 8th Circle Aura Knights, one of whom they invited into their camp like a guest?
"Where to sir?" One brave soldier asked.
"Run! Escape from the demon!"
The only words that came out from the word of the general seemed very weird. Why was he giving such an exaggeration of an 8th Circle Aura Knight?
As they were thinking that, a body fell to the ground. Even though the body seemed sucked out of any hydration, people could still recognize it. It was their commander - the Fire King.
"Run!"
People finally realized why their general said those words.
