Leon stood his ground, his eyes locked on Titus Bane as the wall of fire roared to life around him. The flames licked at the air, scorching the ground in a wide circle, but Leon didn’t flinch. His calm demeanor contrasted sharply with the blazing inferno, a testament to the resolve that had brought him this far.Bane chuckled darkly, taking pleasure in the sight before him. "You’re either too brave or too foolish," he sneered, his voice dripping with condescension. "But I suppose I'll have fun with you… because your quest is truly hopeless!" he exclaimed.Leon’s expression remained unreadable as he met Bane’s gaze. "We’ll see about that," he replied evenly. "But I’m warning you, if you don’t tell me what I came here for—"Bane cut him off with a sharp laugh, still refusing to take him seriously. "You’ve got guts, I’ll give you that. But you’ll find that it’s not in your best interest to threaten me, Leon," he snaps.With each word, Bane stepped closer, his presence towering and menaci
But Bane will not give up just like that. Hence, he created more fire to block his way. He thought that plotting these wicked tricks beforehand would give him an advantage. However, he was completely wrong about that and didn’t expect Leon to stand firmly without difficulty despite the massive heat from the fire.Bane was expecting him to slow down and heat would weaken him. But instead of flinching, Leon stands firm, because the Volcano Stone in his possession is protecting him from the intense heat. It makes Bane flustered as if he just saw an extra-ordinary human being.“How did he do that?” he mumbled under his breath. He was left dumbfounded and he didn’t even realize that Leon was fast approaching him with piercing eyes and straight eyebrows.Leon hissed as he came to him and said: “Hey, you wicked guy! Do you think your shallow tricks will work on me? Didn’t I warn you already?” he snapped with gritted teeth.He already proved his capacity in their first encounter but it looks
Seeing his opponent’s frustrated face, Leon smirked in amusement. He wonders when this man learn his lesson.He has been told not to use his usual tactics with him because they will not work out anyway but it seemed that he was so hardheaded and always refused to listen to him. Now this is what he got for being stubborn.“How often do I need to tell you to stop using petty tactics with me? Honestly, I don’t think any of them will work for me. So if you want to take my advice, you better stop wasting your time on these useless tactics and start investing with your own skills,” said Leon, whose face was tireless.He was tired of repeating himself over and over again but this man seemed a deaf person or perhaps, his mind was not working fully because he didn’t know how to comprehend even simple words.Leon was somehow disappointed. Is this how Lord Rosenberg’s loyal aides think and behave? How could they even be qualified to become his servants?“Why would I stop? Actually, I’m not yet d
After Leon got another piece of important information about Lord Rosenberg’s whereabouts, he did not waste any more time and immediately set out to find the place that Bane was referring him to.He was hoping that this new aide he was going to meet would be able to tell him what he needed. Because if he also doesn’t know the exact location of Lord Rosenberg’s secret place, it will just become another trouble and waste of time.He can’t afford to wander around and travel from one place to another knowing that his daughter is still in the enemy’s hands which means Sarah’s safety is not guaranteed so he should come and save him as fast as he could.“I hope this person knows the exact place of Lord Rosenberg’s secret place,” Leon mumbles as he is on his way to find the black castle because it was the only landmark that Bane told him.The night had started to fall, and Leon approached the Black Castle. The castle is surrounded by jagged mountains, and despite the lateness of the hour, Leon
But no matter how intimidating Blackthorn appears, Leon knows that he came here with a purpose—it was to save his daughter. So he must not waste this opportunity to find Sarah even though he knows that it will be another difficult journey because it seems that all of Lord Rosenberg’s loyal aids are hard to handle.Not only they are intimidating and hard to approach but their loyalty to him is unparalleled to the extent that they are willing to die for his name and reputation. How could he wish he also had some loyal aides that could do that for him?However, this is not the time to be envious because he has a lot more important things to do and on top of the list is knowing Lord Rosenberg’s whereabouts as soon as possible before he could even change location again. If that happens, Leon’s mission will be back to zero and all of his efforts so far will go in vain.“Honestly, I don’t care about how little I was in your perspective. But I will still be firm with what I want. So to make o
Leon thinks that there is no other way to persuade this man except by making him bow down on his knees and begging to spare his life.But he can only do that if he shows how much power he possesses, which makes Blackthorn fear him because he can’t match his power.At least, he can scare him with his skills and power to make the man respect him instead of making it the opposite. If he makes that happen, Blackthorn will have no other choice but to listen and obey all the things he will ask him to do.Now, the question is, how would he be able to do that if Blackthorn is the one who appeared more powerful than him, and because of that he can easily control the situation and make Leon intimidated by him.“I don’t care about your opinion because I know I can prove you wrong. But for now, just let me know where Lord Rosenberg is hiding before I lose my patience and let you taste my real power,” said Leon with gritted teeth.It looks like Leon has already activated his serious mode. His eyes
When Leon sees that his opponent is struggling to bounce back, he can’t help but smirk because he knows that the magical stones in his hands will grant him the superpower he needs. It will be his great advantage against Blackthorn or any opponents that’s why he was confident that no one can beat him down that easily. At least, they will encounter how difficult it was anyhow and that was what they’ve got for underestimating a weak-looking man like him.“Is that what you’ve got? I thought you are good at this then why am I seeing the opposite of your bragging words?” Leon sneered staring at his opponent with mocking eyes.“Who said that I’m just bragging about my skills? Actually, you haven’t seen my maximum power yet so don’t celebrate too early,” Blackthorn snaps, pretending not to be scared but the truth is he was already running out of good strategies to beat his opponent.Leon just hissed saying: “Just prove it to your actions instead of only talking about your skills.” Blackthorn
Leon shakes his head as he is thinking about Blackthorn’s last words. It turned out that the man can’t also tell him the exact location of Lord Rosenberg’s secret place. He was pissed off because it appeared that he was just wasting his time meeting these so-called loyal aides yet in the end, they couldn't tell him the exact information he needed.Leon took a deep breath said, “I wonder when I could find that damn secret place of Lord Rosenberg. Time is running out and I need to save Sarah as fast as I can.” His voice is tireless and disappointed at the same time.If he could only find the person who can tell him the information straight to the point, then he will probably be on his way to the secret place at this moment. But instead of going straight to see Lord Rosenberg, he set out to traverse into a new place and find another significant person once again.He was not even sure if this person would be able to tell him the whereabouts of Lord Rosenberg or if he was also the same fr
