Chapter 16: Brutallity

[It is detected that the host is pissed.]

[The effect of Class Madlad is activated.]

The man who grappled Leon tightly suddenly let out a piercing howling scream, shocking everyone.

"ARGHHHH!"

"AAGHHHH!"

Leon's hands were restrained and moved down a bit directly, grabbing the man's ball and crushing it without any shred of mercy.

The man's holds loosened as he dropped to the floor with his jaw wide open. Leon nudged a little coming out from the person's grasp, raised his arm to block the attack of one, and kicked the other on the waist with lightning-fast movement.

The man blocked by the elbow looked at his companion who was kicked away with an expression of disbelief and immediately wanted to withdraw.

But at this time, Leon had already clutched the man's arm, his fingers held like tongs of iron making the opponent unable to move away.

Leon pulled the man at him who raised his arms to cover his face from Leon's punch but Leon changed his motion and used his height advantage to raise his elbow above the man's head and slammed his elbow.

BOOM!

The man shot down with a large force and as his face descended, Leon slammed his knees on the man's face causing his body to stumble up in the air.

With a somersault, his body fell to the ground, with a bloodied face.

The other fighters as well as the audience gasped in shock seeing Leon taking care of three men in a short time.

There was sudden lul in the ring as every fighter gazed at Leon and then at one another.

At that time, all of them made a decision.

That was to eliminate this guy first.

"Boy, you got some skills so let me taste your strengths."

A huge burly man named Roderick at Tier 4 roared, emitting slight undulating waves as he screamed, and charged at Leon madly.

Leon didn't waste time to reply. For people who didn't mean anything significant, Leon didn't have a habit of talking nonsense.

Instead of retreating, Leon with a smirk ran towards Roderick who spread his two bulky arms widely to hug and crush the ant.

On his way, he grabbed the burly who tried to hug him before and threw him at Roderick who stepped aside to dodge but committed a fatal mistake due to the thrown man blocking his vision.

The moment he stepped aside, and then turned his sight ahead, he was greeted by darkness covering his vision.

BANG!

Charging quickly, Leon jumped slamming his knees at the man's face, then holding the head he gave a head butt striking Roderick's nose that was punctured spurting blood.

Roderick's huge body tumbled, swaying to and fro due to dizziness assaulting him.

Leon landed on the ground and raised his foot to kick.

"Tsk!" Leon clicked his tongue while ducking a blow and jabs threw him from beside.

Leon rotated his body around, glimpsing at everyone drawing near him while pulling out their weapons from their trunks and boxer pants.

The audience started cheering and screaming wanting this man to go down lest they lose their fortune.

"KILL HIM!"

"KILL HIM!"

"KILL HIM!"

There were 13 surrounding, all towering over him, their eyes glinting with malice. The air crackled with anticipation, and the scent of impending violence hung heavy.

"That's enough for a warm-up."Leon cracked his head.

The first attacker lunged forward, fists swinging at Leon.

Leon's reflexes kicked in, and he sidestepped dodging the blow with agility. Using his opponent's momentum against him, Leon delivered a powerful right hook to the man's jaw. The sound of breaking bone reverberated through the cage as the attacker crumpled to the ground, unconscious.

Following him many charged at him simultaneously, giving Leon no time to think and strategize so all he could do was use his instinct and experience to fight.

That was the way he survived and made his way out of dark streets where no martial arts work as the enemy didn't follow the norms and it was never a stage fight where a referee was gonna stop the other if things went downhill.

It was a fight to survive or die trying.

He ducked and weaved, bobbing his head to avoid punches and kicks, his movements fluid and calculated. Leon's fists flew with precision, one punch after another finding their mark.

Bones snapped, blood splattered, and the unmistakable sounds of pain echoed through the ring.

The cheers of the crowd suddenly halted as they were watching something beyond their expectations.

The match is worth every money they spend on tickets only if they hadn't bet on it.

He danced around changing and shifting places, dodging their attacks with impressive speed. Every strike he delivered was focused and deliberate, leaving his opponents crippled and gasping for breath.

However, amid this Leon was hit in his head by a metal bat thrown at him which he wasn't able to notice.

Leon stopped in his tracks seeing drops of blood flowing down from his forehead.

It was just a moment or even might be less, but something inside him changed.

"Since you want to kill then I would also do the same."

Leon held the incoming kick of one and swung him like a weapon hitting the other. He didn't stop as he yanked the body of the man who screamed in fear and thrashed again.

Then without giving a shit about the man's feelings, Leon spun around slamming anyone who came into his arc with the man.

The sound of cracking bones echoed one after another from the man who was swung like a lifeless doll.

His skull cracked and his skin over the head was ruptured exposing the gray matter of the brain.

Leon then let him go and kicked at the man's ribs sending him flying towards the cage spurting blood.

Leon's lifeless gaze looked around, giving them a chill. He dodged aside an incoming blow and holding the head directly rotated it to 180 cracking the neck and threw him aside.

Holding anything that came in his hand, he started swinging like a madman while efficiently dodging the other's strike.

When the thing in his hand broke, he aimed either at the enemy's nose or at their balls and if the opportunity arose, he stabbed his finger into the eyeballs of some while making sure he wasn't the one who received those attacks.

Fighting around, Leon's back touched the ring but contrary to others' thoughts this was the safest place for a fighter who wanted to fight for death instead of escaping.

As with the wall behind, you have to face the enemy from the front and Leon used this tactic when he was surrounded as there was never an escape route for him.

After all, no one looks for his survival.

The monster suppressed in his heart erupted gripping everyone's heart as Leon started havocking everyone in the ring one-sidedly.

There might be a chance if everyone keeps going on but seeing Leon striking brutally without mercy, their confidence and will to fight collapse.

And unable to surround him, only a few were able to attack him at once.

With fear shackling their hearts, and no coordination among any, all of them were like headless chickens running around.

Many even tried to flee in fear which hit the last coffin of the pleas.

And out of all, what was most frightening was that although Leon looked like a madman who lost his reason, he was still as rational and calm as previously.

But his rationality was making others lose their rationality.

The scene truly looked like a group of prey locked in a cage with a predator.
