My Love Debts Are Everywhere!

Chapter 156: Return

"This..."

Leon rubbed his face in surprise, noticing subtle changes in his appearance.

"Huh? Why does my skin feel so smooth and a bit cold? Is it just my imagination?" Leon frowned uncertainly, continuing to rub his face to confirm.

After a while, he became convinced that something was indeed wrong. His facial skin, usually warm and somewhat soft, now felt different—pale and cold.

Shifting his gaze, Leon examined the skin on his arms, stomach, chest, and the rest of his body, his eyes widening in horror.

"F***! What's going on? Why does my skin look paler than a corpse?" Leon exclaimed, fear coursing through him.

His previously bright white skin was now a snow-pale white, resembling a bloodless corpse!

"Damn it! This must be the aftermath of the chaos power cocoon that covered my entire body earlier!" Leon cursed inwardly as he recalled the incident.

He had thought the cocoon covering him was harmless, so he didn't resist or try to avoid it. After all, he was certain that the Great Sword of Chaos wouldn't harm him.

However, upon seeing his skin turn pale, he became convinced that something was amiss with his appearance following his emergence from the cocoon, causing his heart to race.

"No... did my handsome face change too?" As this question crossed his mind, panic and fear spread across his pale features.

His good looks were his pride and self-esteem, second only to his strength, and losing them would be as devastating as death!

*Buzz*

Suddenly, the Great Sword of Chaos appeared before him, floating and emitting a faint black light from its blade. This snapped Leon out of his shock, and he stared at the sword with a confused look.

"What did you just say? I underwent a transformation from absorbing chaos power?" Leon asked hesitantly.

After connecting with the Great Sword of Chaos, he automatically linked to the sword's consciousness, which was Miranda.

*Buzz!*

The Great Sword of Chaos buzzed, and the light it emitted grew stronger, as if confirming Leon's statement.

Leon frowned, frozen in place. Although he understood that he had undergone a transformation due to absorbing the Power of Chaos, he feared that his handsome face might have turned ugly.

"Am I still handsome after this transformation?" Leon asked, his tone slightly uncertain.

*Buzz!*

The Great Sword of Chaos buzzed again and hovered around him as if in praise, causing Leon to feel somewhat embarrassed.

"Ahem! There's no need to praise me so much; it's making me blush," Leon remarked, feigning a cough.

Despite this, he still felt unsure and wanted to see his entire appearance thoroughly.

"If I remember correctly, there's a huge mirror near the gate of the Hall of Glory," Leon thought, deciding to inspect his new appearance before returning to his body.

Turning his gaze toward the Great Sword of Chaos, Leon smiled and grabbed the hilt, saying, "Come with me."

*Buzz!*

The Great Sword of Chaos buzzed but did not resist as Leon held it.

Without hesitation, Leon teleported away from the altar and materialized in front of the entrance to the Hall of Glory, where Liliana's final painting was showcased. He scanned his surroundings and eventually spotted a large mirror.

He swiftly walked toward it, and the moment he saw his reflection in the mirror, Leon nearly jumped in shock.

"Damn! Who is this handsome man in the mirror?" Leon exclaimed in surprise, only to realize it was him!

"What the hell!? How did my appearance change so drastically?" He rubbed his face in disbelief as he took in all the changes.

His once-black hair was now as pale as snow, even paler than Liliana's white hair. His bright gold pupils had transformed into a beautiful sapphire-like purple.

Furthermore, his handsome face had also undergone a transformation; where he once exuded gentleness, calmness, and relaxation, he now projected an aura of indifference and coldness.

Observing all these changes, Leon was stunned for a few moments before finally coming to his senses, shock still lingering on his face.

"Hiss! How can I look like a different person?" Leon took a deep breath, trying to adjust to this change.

After calming down, he turned his gaze toward the Great Sword of Chaos in his hand.

"Can I change back to my previous appearance?" Leon asked.

Although his new look was cool and so handsome, he wasn't used to it and still preferred his original appearance.

*Buzz!*

The Great Sword of Chaos buzzed, its tone lingering as if it were providing Leon with a detailed explanation about the transformation.

After a while, the sword ceased buzzing, and Leon finally grasped the significant reason for his transformation.

Upon absorbing the power of chaos earlier, it swiftly dominated his entire body, leading to a transformation in his appearance. To revert to his original look, he needed to harmonize the chaotic power with the holy power within him.

Understanding this, Leon let out a sigh of relief, and a faint smile bloomed on his lips.

"If it's just that, then it's easy," he said in a relaxed tone, slowly closing his eyes.

*Whoosh!*

Suddenly, a faint white light shot out from Leon's body, enveloping him completely. Accompanied by it, his appearance gradually reverted to its original state—his white hair turned black again, his once pale skin regained its brightness, and as he opened his eyes, his purple pupils returned to their golden hue.

"Done." Leon smiled softly as he observed his transformation back to normal in the mirror.

Gazing at the Great Sword of Chaos, Leon grinned and said lightly, "Alright, let's head back!"

...

Meanwhile, on the vast grassland, Liliana stood in astonishment as she observed Leon's holy power, which had suddenly returned to calm.

"What's going on?" Liliana frowned in confusion as she analyzed the situation.

She had been prepared to halt Leon's uncontrollable holy power with her strongest magic attack, but before she could act, it abruptly ceased and returned to a state of tranquility, leaving her puzzled.

"Has Leon regained consciousness?" As the thought crossed her mind, Liliana's eyes widened, and a wave of happiness enveloped her beautiful yet cold face.

*Boom!*

A deafening explosion shattered the silence, jolting Liliana awake.

Swiftly, she turned toward the source of the explosion and witnessed it emanate from Leon's Holy Power, rapidly spreading before vanishing altogether.

"What? The holy power disappeared?" Liliana was stunned. But before she could dwell on it further, suddenly, a handsome man with black hair appeared right after the holy power vanished.

As Liliana gazed at the man, a faint smile adorning his lips, tears welled up in her eyes, and she exclaimed, "Leon!"
