Chapter 103
Blessed By The Goddess (4)
Explosions took place throughout the mansion.
Every time, the ground shook, and the building cracked like an earthquake.
The owner of Baron Frelsis, Tezarn, was shivering in the hallway.
“Ahhhhhhh…”
He was had been trained well to become a good lord.
However, he was only around level 30.
The humans in front of him were on an entirely different level.
Monsters above level 100 were fighting, leaving him no choice but to hide and tremble.
‘I never thought they were my brother’s enemies!’
He felt guilty for stupidly inviting such villains inside.
Tezarn was self-loathing in the corner when he heard a voice call out to him.
“How are you, Baron?”
A middle-aged man was running over the rubble-covered corridor.
Paul woke up due to the chaos and immediately looked for his master.
“Oh! Mr. Paul!”
Tezarn was delighted to see him.
“What should I do?”
Paul answered sternly.
“There’s nothing we can do! You must flee!”
“But isn’t my brother fighting? We need to help him…”
“Do you think you can help him?”
The young Valtara warrior was comparable to the third person blessed by the Goddess.
Both were super-soldiers ordinary people shouldn’t dare fight against.
Rather than being of help, they would just hold Leon Hart down if they were caught.
“We need to gather the knights and soldiers!”
“I see.”
Tezarn nodded.
The knights and soldiers of Frelsis were staying in Sungha village.
If he gathered them all, there would be more than two hundred soldiers.
If they fought against han-bin’s group…
‘… What if I fight against them?’
Tezarn’s expression instantly blanked out.
‘We can’t do anything.’
Even the cute silver-haired girl was a level 72 Magic Swordsman.
Even if all the personnel they had were to fight her, there was no guarantee that they could defeat the girl, let alone the Valtara warrior.
The level difference was pitifully extreme.
Paul was speechless for a while. Perhaps he realized the same thing he did.
“Hey, why don’t you take refuge here, Baron? How could Leon Hart ever lose?”
* * *
The high-level spiritual bombing continued to rain on Han-bin from a distance.
-Ectoplasmic Javelin!
At the same time, Leon Hart could control his opponent’s movement by opening up light barriers.
“Wall of Althea!”
He utilized the gap to launch a melee attack!
“Taaaaah!”
Like a ferocious beast, Leon Hart assaulted Ryu Han-bin from all sides.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhah!”
Han-Bin sweated coldly as he continued to be pushed back.
‘Damn it, Is there no other option…’
He tried to find a way to counterattack, but he didn’t succeed.
First of all, he was way behind in skills.
Leon Hart’s determination and overall skills were genuinely overwhelming.
Every time Han-bin swung Gigant, a kick or punch would disrupt his attacks along the way, causing his swing to be exquisitely broken.
He would strike but fail, causing him to recuperate. The battle continued as if they were stuck in a cycle where he was losing.
Boom!
Due to countless explosions, Ryu Han-bin’s injuries continued to increase.
Before he could notice it, his whole body was already covered in blood.
Nevertheless, he didn’t collapse.
“Ahhhhhhh!”
Along with a warcry, Han-Bin threw a series of Blade Aura at the enemy.
Leon Hart frowned while swinging his arms to remove the shock.
“Ugh…”
His arms went numb despite his defenses.
The Blade Aura was so intense that it caused his arms to lose feelings when he deflected it.
“Isn’t he supposed to be just strong?”‘
There was more to the heir of the Sword King than his immense power.
‘You have more Aura than me.’
In that one-on-one fight between Aura and Prana, which had different characteristics, Han-bin seemed to have more Aura than Leon had Prana.
If it continued at that pace, Leon Hart’s Prana, which had been beaten, would run out first.
‘I’ll have to finish this before that happens.’
With his determination, Leon Hart chanted.
“As a servant of Kybriel!”
Dozens of light barriers were created in the air.
“After you fall, I will kill the Alien who dared assume the title of Goddess!”
Numerous light barriers merged together, becoming large light hammers.
At the moment, Han-Bin was puzzled.
‘Huh? Isn’t that supposed to be used for defense?’
Leon Hart swung his hand downwards.
“Althea’s Overlapping Barrier!”
The hammers of light hit Ryu Han-bin on the head at a tremendous speed.
Boom!
His whole body was paralyzed in an instant.
It was as if he were buried under a collapsed building.
“Ugh!”
Groaning, Ryu Han-bin protected his body by pulling up Aura with all his might.
-Aura Armor!
He was hammered down into the ground, creating a huge crater that was more than a few meters in radius.
A terrible shockwave shook the world.
Boom, boom, boom!
Han-bin staggered to his feet after the explosion.
He barely managed to survive.
‘What power is that…?’
He clicked his tongue as he looked at the destruction they had caused.
It was the first time he had fallen into that world and admired others’ destructive power.
The same was true of Leon Hart, who also clicked his tongue.
“You can stand with that? You’re amazing.”
It would have been dangerous for him if he delayed the battle any longer.
But he had pushed the situation to where he wanted it.
“It’s over now!”
Leon Hart chanted a spiritual skill by floating in the air.
With the opponent reeling, he had the perfect opportunity to deliver the final blow.
“The Darkness of Kybriel, which puts all things to rest!”
He brought all the Prana in his body together and turned it into a blow of destruction.
Darkness coalesced into a giant pillar.
“Punish my enemy!”
If the Bloody Rose was his most powerful area-of-effect skill, what he was about to cast was his most potent single-target skill!
-Unique Spiritual Art: Arrow of Darkness!
Darkness covered his eyes.
Frustrated, Han-Bin grabbed Gigant.
“For God’s sake!”
He could feel it by instinct.
He couldn’t avoid that. He had to take it with all his might.
If he didn’t, it would kill him!
“Taaaaaaah!”
The flames of a rough Aura enveloped the entirety of Gigant.
Han-bin pulled all his strength out and charged forward.
Ryu Han-bin’s most vital skill, which used cross-cutting, vertical cutting, and stabbing, was activated.
Triple Cross Attack, Cross Impact!
Immense power clashed with immense power.
Red Aura and the black Prana entered a berserk state, creating a relentless shock wave.
Boom!
Kibie, Artis, and Effir closed their eyes and ears due to the deafening sound.
Its destructive force was hard to resist even though they were watching from the side.
“Ugh!”
“Uh…”
“Those monsters!”
And after a while…
Two men appeared amid the explosion.
“Huh… huh…”
Leon Hart was breathing harshly.
His face was pale, and his legs were trembling, and his entire Prana and his physicality were completely exhausted.
But he was still standing.
He didn’t get hurt much.
On the other hand, Ryu Han-bin looked miserable.
His skin was torn, his muscles were bleeding, and his whole body was covered in blood. He barely stood, even with Gigant serving as his cane, but he didn’t last long.
He succeeded in beating the black-and-white spear.
Thanks to that, he managed to save his life.
But that was all.
Damn…’
Eventually, Han-Bin’s knee bent weakly.
Thud!
It was his first defeat in Latna.
* * *
Leon Hart laughed.
“Hahaha…”
It was a tough battle.
Indeed, Han-bin was strong enough to be the successor of the Sword King.
But in the end, he won.
“Fortunately, I can finish this battle without killing you.”
The young Valtara warrior was just a fool who the Alien deceived.
He didn’t commit any crime worthy of death.
Looking down at the fallen Ryu Han-bin, Leon Hart said solemnly.
“Do you accept defeat, Descendant of the Sword King?”
Han-bin nodded gently.
“I lost.”
He then breathed a sigh of relief.
“That’s a relief.”
Leon Hart was embarrassed.
That wasn’t the attitude of a loser.
It seemed strange for Valtara warriors who had a spirit as competitive as their pride.
“… What’s the relief?”
Ryu Han-bin smiled bitterly.
“You didn’t die.”
Han-bin couldn’t control the power of Triple Cross Attack and Cross Impact.
It was a dangerous gamble since they wanted to capture him alive, but it was a deadly situation for him.
Exhausted, Han-Bin laid back.
“I’ve done as much as I can. Take care of the rest!”
Kibie, Artis, and Effir, who were as far away from him as possible, responded with a big smile.
“Yeah, good job.”
“It’s not the best result, but…”
“This is a satisfactory result.”
At that moment, Leon Hart turned pale.
‘Oh, my God!’
Leon Hart came to his senses.
It wasn’t the time to celebrate his win against the Sword King’s descendant.
He still had three enemies left.
They were also high-ranking Hunters with levels around 70 or higher.
Normally, even if a few people in the same level as them attacked him, they wouldn’t be able to match him, but he was utterly exhausted at that moment.
“Oh, my God!”
Leon Hart rushed his preparation.
Kibie and Effir flew away.
-Aura Splash!
-Magic Swordsmanship: Fang of the Thunder Dragon!
A pitch-black Aura rained down on him like a meteor shower, and a lightning blade flashed through the air.
“You horrible people!”
Leon Heart responded to the offensive by maneuvering his way out of their reach.
“Althea’s Wall!”
Boom!
The light barrier, which prevented even Ryu Han-bin’s Blade Aura, was smashed by the attack of Effir.
He was already so tired that he couldn’t pull out his power.
Swiftly, the two females attacked Leon Hart.
In a hectic push, Leon Hart clenched his teeth.
‘I should have saved my energy!’
Of course, he couldn’t have done that even if he knew what they were planning.
Ryu Han-bin wasn’t weak enough to be knocked down while saving his strength.
Leon hart allowed more and more attacks to hit him.
His whole body was getting scarred.
“Argh! Argh! Argh!”
Leon Hart groaned, but he did not collapse.
“You think I’ll fall?!”
With his entire power reserve fully exhausted, he could only hold on out of sheer mental strength.
“Kybriel is watching me!”
Artis, who was looking for an opportunity, inadvertently laughed.
‘Well, it’s true that she’s watching.’
The incarnation of Kybriel was beating Leon Hart with her eyes wide open.
Pointing with his staff, Artis cast his magic.
“Crushing blow of light, Arcane Strike!”
The pillar of light hit Leon Hart directly.
“Argh!”
He showed off his true strength by holding out against the attack of Kibie and Effir, but he couldn’t handle Artis’s magic damage.
Eventually, Leon Hart knelt down.
“Oh, no…”
Above his despairing green eyes, the black-haired woman with a pitch-black spear apologized.
“Sorry, Leon Hart.”
Bam!
The spear hit him on the back of his head.
It was an ending that didn’t seem to be apologetic at all.
Kibie muttered as if he were making excuses.
“You’re a Spiritist, yet you don’t fall.”
Indeed, even after being beaten that much, Leon Hart was still breathing.
He had just completely fainted.
Artis clicked his tongue.
“He was about to fall, yet he still held on that long? What a strong human being.”
“We didn’t just choose him as the third blessing randomly.”
Responding to Artis’ words, Kibie glanced toward Sungha village.
There was a large-scale army on the way up to the mansion.
Baron Frelsis, who had fled, was returning with reinforcements.
Most of them were around level 20 and 30. The soldiers weren’t that strong compared to Han-bin’s party.
“They won’t be hard to deal with, but…”
Kibie shrugged.
“There’s no need for unnecessary deaths, is there?”
They were also precious citizens of Latna.
If possible, it was better to run away without hurting them.
Han-bin and his party had the means to do so.
Effir bashfully smiled as she touched her necklace, the Polymorph Necklace.
“Time to soar.”
