Leo The Dragon Heir

Chapter 7

“What do you mean by explode? There has to be an explanation for this, there is no way he is going to explode!” Darwin was looking at Varrick. He was a bit confused on hearing that Leo was going to explode if he tried to break the seal without training.

“It means the seal that Abigail put on him is even stronger than a grade five scarlet core seal. For some reason, she wanted to make sure that he was not going to find it easy breaking the seal.” Varrick was looking at Leo. The boy was going to have a hard time thinking about breaking the seals, and it was going to be the hardest thing he could imagine doing.

“You mean Abigail used that kind of spell on her son? But what was her reason for even putting it on him? I know that there were people after her, but then that means that there has to be something else she didn't drop in that message.” Darwin was not going to be thinking of what he was going to be doing that quickly. He had promised Leo that he would train him to break the seals, but learning that the seal was a grade five scarlet core showed that it was going to be harder for them to even break through the first layer.

“The boy will have to train hard and make sure that nothing is going to make it hard for him to cross. Breaking the seal won't be a problem if he is to train his body out like mad. I know there will be no way anyone would be able to do anything to him. After all, he is Abigail’s son,” Varrick was looking at Leo, he was even surprised that there was something like that.

The seal was one thing, but breaking it was another. They needed to make sure that no matter what happened, they wouldn't be the ones doing something that would hurt them. “You know, if he is to train well enough I mean to join us on raids and things like that, he will be able to break through in two years or less.”

Darwin looked at his brother. He was shocked that he didn't think of that at first, but he was sure that using something like that was going to be the ultimate move to make sure that they broke the seal.

“But you see, the seal is still holding down his agility and everything. I don't know if he will be able to endure all he will be doing or if he is even up for it. We can't force him into something he is not ready to do.”

Leo felt defeated when he heard that his seal couldn't be broken easily, and it was going to take a long time. He had heard everything the men had said, and it was clear that he was not going to be using all his magic immediately, but if he was willing to train, then it meant that it was going to be possible. “She must have put it on me for a reason,” Leo spoke up, making the two warriors turn to him immediately.

“I know there has to be something she must have wanted to let me know but was scared that something might happen, so she didn't let me know what she was even doing. I will not hold it to her, she is my mother after all.”

Leo spoke with so much courage in his heart, he was only doing it to make sure that Darwin would still consider training him and not think that he was some kind of weak chum.

Darwin took a deep breath before turning to Leo, “When we say dungeons we are talking about creatures like the Orc Bear and more that are fiercer than it and there is no telling what you will be facing when you enter the dungeon. Not that I don't want you to join us, I hope you are ready?”

Leo was looking at Darwin. He had a lot to say, but he would not be backing down. It was going to be a once-in-a-lifetime thing for him. He was going to be able to use magic and cultivate his mana, it was something he would give a lifetime to get.

“I will make sure that there is nothing in my way, I will do this with all the strength I have.” Leo gave Darwin a response that they were not even expecting. Leo was not backing down, and it was going to be the changing point in his life and he was going to be sure that, no matter what, he was going to change his life.

“He has that fire in his eyes, just like Abigail, this boy is going to be something that will spiral the world into a new age.” Varrick thought as he looked at Leo. He was not sure at first if the boy would be able to take what was coming to him.

“Okay Leo, I want to see if you are just all talk or if there is any grit behind all those big words. I want to spar with you.” Darwin said, looking at the boy with a huge smile on his face. He was going to spar with Leo to test his abilities and see if it was going to be the best idea to train him.

Leo looked at Darwin, he was surprised that he would even offer to spar with him. “Are you serious? This is all of a sudden and I don't think I can do anything against you yet.”

Darwin smiled at Leo’s innocence, “You were able to kill an Orc Bear with one hit. I know you think that it wasn't much of a big deal, but you see, that is an amount of scary that I can't even think of comprehending.”

“Besides, it will be a good way to start your training and show you some other things you need to know,” Darwin stood up. He was going to enjoy starting his lessons with Leo, and it would be a good way for him to see what the boy could do.

Leo was a bit confused, he didn't know what was going to happen or how he was going to summon the power he used last time.

“Don't worry Leo, you will be fine, you just need to make sure that there is nothing that will be holding you back. I will pull you out if I see any reason to.” Varrick looked at Leo. He knew that there was no way the boy would even think of facing Darwin for now.

Leo stood still for a moment, he knew that he had nothing to lose. He was going to make sure that nothing was going to make him give up.

“Alright, I will do it!” Leo said with a lot of energy. He was about to face a man who had told him that he was through to the Red Mana Core.

‘I have to make sure that I don't die, that's all. How hard can that be?’ Leo looked at Darwin, and noticed the devilish smile forming on his master's face.

Leo didn't know why he felt that he was going to be making a huge mistake. “On second thought I don't think I feel too good.” Leo was trying to do something to get out of the fight, he was not going to lose his life facing Darwin.

“Oh come on Leo, I know you must be scared, but don't worry, I will not go all out. You can though. I want to see what you can do.” Darwin was trying to convince Leo that he was not going to kill him, but there was no way he would be able to contain himself.

‘Yeah, smiling like a psychopath doesn't make you look like a demon from the Nether realm, I am not going to die again!’ Leo’s thoughts were filled with things that would convince him not to face Darwin.

“Are you sure you won't rip my head out?” Leo asked, looking at Darwin. He wanted to be reassured that he was not going to die if he was going to face Darwin.

“I will try not to.” Darwin gave him a short and brief reply with a stern face. Leo could feel his heart sinking to his stomach.

“Not helping Darwin, the boy is already scared that you will kill him, so please let him know that it's just a test to know how strong he is and how far he can go.” Varrick chimed in, he knew his brother wouldn't hold his words back when he was trying to say something.

Darwin laughed a bit before he looked at Leo. He was sure that nothing was going to make him want to match with him again.

“It will be fine Leo, it's just a match and Varrick can heal your wounds if there are any. Don't worry, I will be on my light blue core, so there will be no need for you to even worry about getting hurt.” Darwin reassured Leo, and he saw a sign of relief on Leo’s face. He was going to be sparing with him.

“Alright, let’s do this,” Leo said, looking at his Master.
