Leon had been fixing the small damages around the camp and the people were truly grateful of his conduct. They are curious as to where he is getting all the energy that he has been exerting since the day he offered help.

There is nothing much of a problem in the camp. Just small quarrel about who is the first one to attend the mass or call of the leader or who is the first one to get up and change the fire that had kept them warm during the cold nights. They did well to solve the problem of hypothermia by having no warmer or heater av

It might be a heart pounding scene if they were two young couple that happened to fall in love after that one scenario but no. Their rigid body and wrinkled face make it more like a scene out of a drama movie. Leon was at daze. It was a little more agitation and the needle might have hit Rosario in front of him. He sighed a long one before he answered Rosario. "I didn't mean to Rosario. There is something beyond that place and I was just going to check." Leon stopped talking when he noticed Rosario trembling. He was about to reach his hand towards her but Rosario was the first one to strike her palm towards his face.

    Leon felt like he is floating in the clouds. His limbs were left suspended in the air and the sensation to just rest is washing over the thought of being active and finish that one thing he needed to get done. "Is this heaven?" He asked. Leon thought there were no one to respond him in this space but it was proven wrong when a crisp voice, loud and clear replied to him. "Maybe so, maybe not." Leon opened his eyes but all he could see were white and intense bright that forbidding his sight to thrive past the thick wall of bright lights. He became wary. With tone coated with an alertness that mixed with a tinge of fear, he answered to the unknown individual. "W..who are you?"

There is someone blewing over the soup that soon will enter his mouth to nourish his body. Someone is holding his shoulder while another one were wiping his back from the sweats that he had during his lying down for quite a while.

But knowing those people, they aren't cruel and someone that would eventually change in just a blink. More so to bring disaster to the humans they so wanted to save... this is clearly wrong.

My mother which is Amaris will be the leader of the monsters that will start to pour inside Earth after we notify them and Xing Ling will be a connection between two worlds if there is a critical matter to attend to.

But even so he had succcesfully caught their attention, Amaris stare tells her all... even more when she said those hurtful words. "It seems like that child didn't make it. I will leave her to you." Leon immediately felt that the blood in his vein doubled and his aura spread that almost suffocated everyone. "Are you happy because you have two and leave this one because he is not strong enough to endure the process of coming out of the world? How cruel you are?" But instead to feel sorry, Amaris showed her aura as well and glared at her father. "We are never been a warm kind father. When once I tried to be loving, I lost it so don't blame me if I'm like this. YOU made me like this." Leon didn't replies. He remembered that time when Geoff was begging him to kill him. His eyes tells it all and even though it was painful for him, he couldn't just ignore his wishes since there is nothing more that h

    He didn't give the First the chance to talk and gave him a punch in the face but like Crow he felt something that similar to when he got infected with virus. 『Sir it is the same power that wants to infiltrate me. Please be careful when making contact.』 Leon frowned before he went and move closer again to deliver a combo of punch and kick. But the First can catch up to his attacks without even breaking a sweat. The impact in each blows makes the surrounding gust of wind wild and violent which had causes for everyone to take shelter to anything that will not make them being taken by the wind. "My father once told me, villains have long lives but you exceeded them all!" Leon rolled his eyes and attack. He wants to erase the smug face that is hanging in his face but his attacks were not making damages. "What did you do to yourself? Do you still call yourself a human?" Although he doesn't really care, he has to buy some time for the skill to activate. The First laughs almost as if to

    There is a minor thing after he had return. Leon didn't thought that the persistency of those from the Seat is making his anger boil in a dangerous rate. He should have not taken that lightly. Leon thought of himself like he is turning like Audyll. He is currently in a small shed with Amaris that looks grave still they were place in a bundle of cotton and web together with the eggs. This wouldn't happen if it wasn't that virus he extracted from that place again. Leon has no idea what or where he had gotten the virus but after he set up a barrier that can only be opened from the inside, he suddenly went ill and now limp to the point of being on and off. Good thing is that the barrier didn't need much care after it was being establish. But the thing is, Leon had overlooked something. When the attack was done and the First was retreating, he shove the four Seats as a bait and escape on his own. Since Leon was unable to do his judging for them, they were held for now inside the make s
