An infatuated smile bloomed on her face as she watched Leon valiantly fighting against her own allies.
In her eyes, Leon was like a stunning warrior. Every move he executed was exquisite, his red-blood hair dancing as the blood of the enemy painted the blade of his sword.
His crystal blue eyes shined brightly like a sunny sky, not tainted by any gloom. It was as if he could not even see defeat in his eyes.
'This is the man worthy of me!' Rachana excitedly thought as she watched the battle unfold.
The more she watched from where she was resting, the more her desire for him grew. She really wanted him!
A smile bloomed on her lips, it was particularly bizarre to see it in her injured state. It was not a smile of a young girl in love, but that of an obsessed woman eager to fight to the death to get the man.
She started daydreaming about how she would get Leon to be her partner after the war. How she would force him to copulate with her and let her bear children of both their bloodlines.
If Leon happened to see the images inside Rachana's head, he would surely shudder and avoid her in disdain.
In the battle, Ramir and Razak continued to exhaust Leon forcing him to divide his attention between Cornelius and Eli's place and his own place.
They were not the least bit impatient when they saw that he successfully defended both places in his own might. After all, he is only alone now. The only thing that could help him was his own contracted beast and Cornelius.
Emperor Razak and Pope Ramir knew that he would soon be exhausted because there is no man who can stop an army and the two great leaders on his own.
Occasionally, there were also casters and archers who sneaked their attack on him so that he could be distracted and his defenses would break.
Leon, however, did not show signs of panicking or distraction at all. He was focused and determined. Even though his face was still a little paler, the more he used his mana and circulate it in his body, the more he could feel that it was light and easy to move.
He was not sure if it was because he had reached the End of Path but as soon as he concentrated, his vision would suddenly change.
From his eyes, he could see the flow of mana coming in all directions. All kinds of elemental mana seemed to be attracted to him as they danced like fluid smoke gently being pulled together toward him.
He could see how it moves on the bodies of his enemy, even on Cornelius and Eli's side. That is how he was able to know that Eli's condition was extremely sensitive at the moment, and Cornelius had to carefully wrap all of her receptors for safety.
However, he was still unable to discover what other things he can do with the power obtained at the End of Path. His battle prowess and power are slightly higher than the Pope and Emperor but that's about it.
Even so, it did not matter to him, because at the moment, the power he was wielding was enough to hold his ground against the two.
"How persistent!" Emperor Razak could not help but spite Leon as he continued to attack him from one angle to another.
"Don't be too focused on defeating him at once. He is an S-class after all, he is not an easy opponent." Pope Ramir reminded him.
Emperor Razak did not answer, but his eyes were set on Leon. It was not that he was impatient, but he could not help but express his words over the shock of seeing Leon keeping his own stance against the two of them and the army behind them.
Moreover, their curse power is limited. Although they have been using it at the moment, they did not dare to use it recklessly.
Crown Prince Ranon, Rachana, and even the Cardinal and the rest of the temple knight captains have all fallen because they did not manage the usage of the curse power well.
Yes, the curse power brings forth infinite levels of power, but its source is finite.
They have to be mindful of using it, especially when dealing with cunning and exceptional people like Leon and Eli.
Leon saw the calculative expression of the two elders and understood that they were trying to conserve their powers.
His eyes lit up dangerously as he did not want to wait for a fight like this. The earlier he dealt with one of them, the easier it would be for him to focus.
"Zenith!" Deciding what move to do next, he summoned Spatial King Zenith mentally and informed him of what to do next.
"He is planning a big move, beware!" Emperor Razak looked at the Pope.
In terms of battle prowess, Pope Ramir is slower than him. So he thought that he would be the easier target between the two of them.
Pope Ramir's eyes deepened and he became vigilant. He also knew his condition very well. He had already suffered two big blows from Leon's end, and he could only partially heal his body so that it wouldn't affect his movements.
Leon did not care if they became vigilant. In his mind, he had to make an attack so that he could have one less person to deal with.
He conjured mana on the tip of his sword, it was so tiny to the point that it was not visible to the naked eye.
But he could see in his eyes that all the mana around was drawn in it, making it a formidable dot of concentrated mana.
It swirled carefully before his eyes, but it was only seen by him.
He looked at Pope Ramir and Emperor Razak who were deeply on guard. But they were quite confused when they saw that he was only doing a sword attack rather than a huge magic attack.
But they did not dare to let their guard down.
Leon quickly charged at Pope Ramir, as Emperor Razak had predicted.
Pope Ramir signaled Emperor Razak, 'Go hit him while he is busy with me!'
Emperor Razak got his glance and charged as well. He was running in rhythm with Leon's charge then his figure flickered as soon as Leon stretched his hand with his sword pointing at Pope Ramir's heart.
'What a straightforward move!' Emperor Razak and Pope Ramir were kind of disappointed with Leon's attack.
Pope Ramir simply flashed backward intending to get out of Leon's range.
He looked at Leon provocatively as he happened to flash a few meters away from him. Because Leon's body was outstretched, he would have a hard time chasing him from his spot.
But who would have thought that Leon's figure would suddenly disappear and Emperor Razak's sneak attack would strike an empty space?
They were shocked to see that Leon suddenly reappeared directly on Pope Ramir and is still doing the same attack.
The two of them were not able to quickly adapt to the situation as Leon's move was so different from his usual flash steps. He was not moving fast, he was teleporting!
'Not good!' Emperor Razak gritted his teeth as he tried to catch up with Leon who was now striking Pope Ramir who was completely off guard.
Cold beads of sweat appeared on Pope Ramir's head and all that he could do was cover himself with his weapon to shield himself against Leon's attack, but before his eyes, he could see that his weapon was shattered so easily like an eggshell.
This time Rachana and the rest were on their feet as they did not expect that Leon would get the Pope this way. Without the weapon, his sword became unobstructed and continued to slice through Pope Ramir's heart.
"Puff!" Pope Ramir shuddered as he felt the excruciating pain penetrate his body. He literally could feel his flesh burn as he spat a huge mouthful of blood!
"Pope!" The rest shouted.
Emperor Razak's eyes darkened when he saw the situation and immediately rushed to get to Pope Ramir's spot.
However, his body froze as he felt something in him seemingly explode.
Splat!
He was stunned as a shower of blood appeared before his eyes.
His ears rang and the muffled voices of his army struggled to reach his ears. He was confused why Rachana and Ramir's face was that of horror and shock.
He looked down and could not process why there was a lot of blood splattered in front of him. Then he looked at his body and numbly raised his hand to touch his chest.
A gaping hole appeared where his heart was supposed to be.
"D*mn you Seirende spawn!" Finally understanding everything, his bloodshot eyes looked at Leon with hatred as his body fell on the ground face down!
