Zephyra has no idea that even her domain is controlling the waters, this will not work against Leon because the man has the Ocean Stone with him and possesses its power. The woman was overconfident with her domain without knowing that Leon would not be affected by any attack using the waters even though it came from the almighty ocean.Although Leon knows that Zephyra is not an ordinary woman because of her strong domain, at least he knows that he can face her in a one-on-one duel because of the Ocean Stone he has in his hand that the woman was not aware about.“What are you doing? Are you just going to stand there and do nothing? Aren’t you afraid that the tides might drown you?” asked Zephyra with an irritated face.She was wondering why Leon seemed unbothered with the danger that her domain can bring to him. Is he not afraid to get drowned or was he just pretending not to be affected so that he can annoy the hell out of her. Well, if that’s the case then he was successful because a
When Leon saw it coming, his eyes widened and he was in great shock for a moment. He thought he already gained full control of the battle but it turns out that Zephyra still has a lot of tricks under her sleeve.The turn of events was so quick that Leon was not able to prepare himself about what should be his next move to prevent the massive wave from pulling him under water. But it seemed that it was too late because the event happened so fast and he just found himself almost drowning underwater in just a span of a few seconds!“Damn, what should I do? I need that woman to command the massive wave and stop it from pulling me. But how could I do that? That woman will never listen to me!” Leon cursed under his breath. He was on the verge of despair and all of a sudden, he was at a disadvantage and had nowhere to go. If this will continue, he might end up dying under the ocean, hopeless and terrified. He wanted to have a negotiation with Zephyra and try to shoot his last chance but it
Leon clenched his fist when he realized that this was not the end of his quest yet because it seemed that this mission was still far from over. He thought Zephyra would be able to tell him the whereabouts of Lord Rosenberg but it turns out that she also has a clue only and not the exact location of the secret place.This is not what he wanted to happen because he was running out of time. However, he has no choice but to continue this quest whether he likes it or not since he doesn’t have any other ways to find that cunning old man—Lord Rosenberg.“Just wait for me, Rosenberg. I will definitely find you,” Leon swore with gritted teeth.He can’t wait to face him in their much awaited face off. However, in the meantime, he needs to travel to another place and find the hidden lair that Zephyra told him. This is another clue and he was hoping that he could get the information he needs once he reaches his destination.It is early morning when Leon finally leaves Zephyra’s castle. The sky is
Leon has no idea of what is waiting for him under the ocean, but he has the guts that he is already getting near to his destination. That’s why this is no turning back, especially now that he has already activated the power of the Fish Stone which can help him breathe underwater for a long time without experiencing any difficulty.However, he doesn’t know how far he needs to go underwater knowing that the hidden lair's exact location will be surely difficult to find in the deep of the ocean. Indeed, he needs to work extra hard to find it so that he can also get another clue to find Lord Rosenberg’s secret place.“If Zephyra was just fooling me about the hidden lair, then I must not trust any of Rosenberg’s loyal aides again,” said Leon at the back of his mind.He was struggling at this moment but fortunately the Fish Stone is making things much easier for him. Otherwise, he will not be able to stay underwater for this long since it was clear in Zepphyra’s words that the hidden lair wa
Leon’s voice was stern, not showing any fear in his eyes despite the risk of him being too arrogant in front of the guards knowing they had all the resources to inflict pain on him once he made any suspicious actions.However, instead of listening to him and taking his words seriously, the guards didn’t give a damn care but they made sure that they will stay in the alert mode and their backups will be prepared for any possibilities. They don’t know yet what kind of person Leon is and how much power he holds. That’s why they don’t want to be complacent knowing the fact that he was able to reach this place despite the difficulties along his way, it already speaks up for his capacity to overcome a lot of obstacles that could test him.“Huh! Who are you to tell us what we need to do? Are you the one paying us? I bet you don’t even have a single penny in your pocket, right poor kiddo?” The guards start laughing because of what the man said.No wonder, they were all here just for money and
Leon stood before Lord Rosenberg, a smirk playing on his lips as he observed the older man's fury. The scene before him was not what he had expected after his long search, but the lord's reactions were oddly satisfying."Well, well," Leon drawled, breaking the tense silence. "It seems defeating your underlings has struck a nerve, Lord Rosenberg. I must admit, I expected more... composure from a man of your reputation."Lord Rosenberg's face contorted with rage. "You insolent whelp! Do you think besting a few of my men grants you any standing here?""Oh, I don't just think it," Leon replied, his voice dripping with confidence. "I know it. Your reaction speaks volumes.""You know nothing!" Rosenberg spat. "Defeating them means nothing when it comes to facing me."Leon's eyes narrowed. "Is that so? Then why do you seem so... affected?""Affected? Ha!" Rosenberg scoffed, though his clenched fists betrayed his true feelings. "You're delusional, boy. I couldn't care less about those weaklin
The guards were on stand-by, ready to strike their weapons to Leon once he made any move that could cause harm to their master.However, the discussion between the two is still ongoing and no one would like to be intimidated no matter how powerful they seemed to appear with one another.“If you think that I allowed you to negotiate with me, you are wrong. I know that you don’t have any advantage with me so you better dig your own grave and prepare to die!” Lord Rosenberg taunted as his eyes sharpened like a beast.“Who told you that I want to negotiate with you? I said I want my daughter back and I’m not accepting any bargain when it comes to my demand,” said Leon with an authoritative voice.But Lord Rosenberg just hissed as if he was making fun of him. “You are demanding of me? Where did you get the audacity, huh? You don’t even reach above my level so learn to be humble and respect the people who have higher positions than you!” the old man snarled with gritted teeth.Leon’s lips r
There was nothing more amusing than this for Lord Rosenberg. It’s been a while since he has been entertained like this since he started hiding in this secret place.Also, there is no equivalent amount for the entertainment Leon was giving him so the old man wanted to tease him even more.“You know what, you should not say that. Do you even know how long you will stay here?” There was a small grin that formed in his lips.It was playful but apparently it has an ulterior motive. He thinks that when Leon gets impatient, he is likely to do impulsive things. And that was what Lord Rosenberg wanted to witness from him.“Well, that will depend on your performance. But I will make sure that I will leave this place with my daughter, alive and kicking. I will let anyone hurt me or my daughter,” said Leon with so much confidence.He was talking as if he can already predict the future. But he was not so sure about Lord Rosenberg's next moves because he didn't know what was running in this cunning
