Chapter 915 - Monstrous Defense
After Aria and Darlene revealed their strength, Lord Razarkan and Lord Reingard immediately knew they were in deep sh*t.
While the Battle Kings were intimidated by Aria and Darlene, Leon flew over their heads with a leap and landed in front of Lord Razarkan and Lord Reingard.
In response, Lord Razarkan and Lord Reingard retreated a few dozen yards and distanced themselves from Leon further. Their expressions were heavy and grave.
"Young man, can we about this?" Lord Reingard suggested.
Lord Reingard tried to re-establish communication and avoid the imminent conflict. However, Leon scoffed at Lord Reingard"s question.
"I believe we are way past the point of negotiating. If you"re not making your move first, then I will do it!" Leon stated.
In the next instance, Leon immediately took a decisive step forward and lunged at Lord Reingard with his Tier-7 White Spear. The tip of his Tier-7 White Spear glowed with an ominous light akin to death.
"Dammit!" Lord Reingard immediately cursed his bad luck. Between the two people, he had to be the person"s target.
Nevertheless, Lord Reingard recalled that the person"s strength was roughly the same as his in their last exchange. As such, Lord Reingard chose to receive Leon"s spear strike head-on.
"Second Brother, take this chance to strike his opening!" Lord Reingard roared madly.
"You don"t need to say the obvious, stupid! Are you trying to warn our opponent?!" Lord Razarkan snarled.
Nevertheless, Lord Razarkan gripped his Tier-6 Battle Mace with his eyes peeled, ready to jump in at a moment"s notice.
Lord Reingard swung his Tier-6 Battle-Ax at Leon"s Tier-7 White Spear with all his might, intending to parry it away.
Boom!
The two weapons clashed, and the ground beneath the two people"s feet couldn"t withstand the force of their collision, causing web-like cracks to spread across the ground surface.
It was just a single exchange, but the ground suffered layered impacts. After the ground cracked, it sunk. Then, it sunk again, creating a crater-like pit with cracks. It was like a barren land that suffered severe drought.
Lord Reingard"s eyes narrowed in an instant. He felt the ominous light draining his strength. No, more precisely, it was draining his life the longer he remained in contact with it.
"What deathly power is this?!" Lord Reingard inwardly cried with alarm.
Nevertheless, Lord Razarkan took that chance to flank, swinging his large Tier-6 Battle Mace right at Leon"s back.
Lord Reingard saw his second brother"s incoming attack. Thus, he forced himself to endure the weakening effects of Leon"s Paragon-level Death Law.
However, Leon wasn"t blind. He antic.i.p.ated Lord Razarkan"s attack. But rather than evading the blunt attack, he chose to withstand it with his bare body!
Leon parried Lord Reingard"s weapon with his Military Arts, causing the Battle-Ax to follow his spear like it was glued to it.
Then, he stabbed the spear into the ground, putting himself in a position where he wrestled with Lord Reingard in strength at the front and endured Lord Razarkan"s incoming attack at the back.
The moment he chose to do that, both palace lords" eyes widened, dumbfounded by Leon"s stupidity for putting himself in such a disadvantageous position.
However, they weren"t going to let go of such an opportunity. Their eyes gleamed with ruthlessness. Then, they exerted even more strength into their weapons.
Bam!
Lord Razarkan"s Tier-6 Battle Mace landed squarely on Leon"s back, and the sound of the impact resounded throughout the area.
Due to the forces sandwiching Leon from the front and back, his body didn"t budge from the spot.
Lord Reingard smiled victoriously. Even if the young man had Battle G.o.d-level strength, his back would still break from a direct hit like that.
However, Lord Razarkan"s expression was the complete opposite. The feeling of the impact that transmitted into his hand didn"t feel right. It was like he had just struck an indestructible iron wall.
When Leon raised his leg and gave Lord Razarkan a back kick to the stomach, sending Lord Razarkan flying away with blood spurting out of his mouth, Lord Reingard"s victorious smile finally froze.
"Impossible…!" Lord Reingard uttered with shock.
What kind of monstrous body does this person have?! This isn"t the body of a human, but that of a beast!
Leon raised his leg from another kick, but Lord Reingard immediately retreated some distance right away.
"You"re still alive over there, Second Brother?!" Lord Reingard hollered, but his gaze remained fixed on Leon warily, observing him for any sudden movements.
Lord Razarkan spurted another mouthful of blood, suffering multiple broken bones and internal organ damage.
"Why don"t you try taking a kick to the gut and tell me if you"re still alive afterward?!" Lord Razarkan replied sarcastically. That single kick robbed half his life!
Nevertheless, Lord Razarkan quickly took out some blood-red recovery pills and swallowed them.
"Second Brother, your weapon is too useless! This person"s fleshly defense is too high! We need a sharp weapon like my battle-ax to break his defense! I need you to pin him down for me!" Lord Reingard stated.
However, even if the young man"s fleshly defense was strong, he should have suffered internal damage from the shockwave. But since that also seemed unlikely, it shows that the young man"s inner defense was also monstrous.
Nevertheless, Lord Razarkan didn"t rebuke Lord Reingard"s words.
Any Tier-6 bladed weapons could break the defense of Paragon-level beasts. Thus, his first brother"s Tier-6 Battle-Ax could indeed break the person"s fleshly defense.
…
Meanwhile, the Battle Kings were caught in a dilemma. Although they were aware their lords behind them needed help, they could not give their backs to the two ladies in front of them.
"Dammit, our lords need us!" a Mid-rank Battle King stated.
"Don"t even think about averting your eyes from the front! The moment you turn around, you can expect a sword wave coming your way!" a High-rank Battle King warned with a grave look.
Even if the two ladies weren"t strong themselves, the Tier-7 Divine Sword in Aria"s hand filled them with dread.
Who knows how many more sharp sword waves the lady can fire?
