Chapter 190: Deadly Face Off

"KHMMM!'"

Seeker wrestled under Leon's toes, a crackling sound echoed as cracks started to spread across her skull.

Gritting her teeth, she spat the blood and squeezed her lips to form a smile and asked, "I would never say that."

"Hahahahah!You can do what you want but I never"

CRACK!BANG!

With a force, Leon stomped open the head bursting it into pieces of flesh and brains scattered around.

Blood splattered all around and the remaining body wriggled swaying the hands and feet.

"I was just asking for fun but it seems you really took the question seriously."

Leon muttered, clicking his tongue and using his power to summon Hella.

Then he stared around, except his ghost army no was standing out there.

KIEEEEKKKKKK!

A loud gargantuan roar shook the entire sound.

As Leon surveyed the aftermath of the intense clash between them, a sudden sense of unease washed over him. His ghost army, which had been standing by his side for moments, reacted intensely and looked up.

A huge shadow fell upon them following a scorching heat that raised the temperature and a bright flash lit up the space.

A gigantic ball of fire was upon them.

Before he could react, a deafening roar echoed through the air, causing the ground to tremble beneath his feet. With a sense of impending doom, Leon looked up to the sky just in time to see a colossal flame hurtling downward, aimed directly at him.

Instinctively, he raised his arm to himself while activating the nimbus step to dodge.

But before he could do that, much to his surprise his ghost army sprang into action. With lightning-fast reflexes, they shot up in the sky forming a protective barrier around him.

While the higher rank ones launched their attacks, the lower-level their spectral forms intertwined with one another to create a shield of ethereal energy.

The flame of fire collided first clashed with the attack then with the shield, sending shockwaves rippling through the air with explosive force. The ground quaked as the impact reverberated through the space threatening to engulf everything in its path.

For a moment, it seemed as though the combined might of the ghost army would be overwhelmed by the sheer power of the flame. But through sheer determination and unwavering loyalty, they held their ground, their spectral forms twinkling and wavering under the onslaught.

And then, as suddenly as it had begun, the assault ceased. The flame of fire dissipated into the air, leaving behind a sense of eerie calm in its wake. Slowly, the ghost army began to reform, their ethereal forms coalescing once more around Leon, who stood unscathed amidst the chaos.

As he surveyed the scene around him, a sense of gratitude washed over him. Even without the timely intervention of his ghost army, he would have survived even though they threw themselves to protect him.

With a silent nod of appreciation, he turned his gaze up.

Leon raised his chin and spotted a black dot wandering in the sky.

The black dot got close to the ground, before settling down on a spot pretty far away. It was a huge winged lizard like monster.

Just above the head, Leon saw the face of a man oozing a different charisma and confidence from before.

Staring down at Leon as if he were some pest, he muttered confidently.

"I hadn't thought that you would dare to come here."

"How can I reject such a kind invitation?"

"Great! I like your guts."Avelin laughed wildly and extended his hand."Leon, you have great power. Don't waste it on being a slave of humans. Come and join hands with me."

"Alone, I may falter but with you by my side to support I can surely rule the world."

Troops of monsters started to pour in on all sides, taking their stance.

A brief silence prevailed and a strong wind blew carrying a scent of blood.

Leon glanced at Avelin with a blank expression.

"Avelin, you really think you are special just because you have the power of the Lord from the game."

Avelin's expression distorted and his heart stirred as he heard those words.

Shaking his head, Leon spoke something that almost made Avelin falter.

"Out there, you will find countless beings with special powers and many individuals transmigrated with super cheats, however..."

"Do you know what separates everyone?"

Avelin's throat became dry and his heart skipped a beat when he heard Leon's words.

His words shocked him and also made him a bit afraid, but there was a tint of excitement for the future.

'I don't know if he is lying but this surely sounds grand. If I can conquer them and use them, won't I have so many great people under me?'

Meeting Leon with cold eyes, he asked"Their powers?"

"NO!"

"It's not their power and abilities but the type of life they had lived in their past."

"You were an otaku and a gamer in your previous life, weren't you?"

"So whatWait!"Avelin's voice trailed off due to faint realization.

"OHHH!It seems you are also transmigrated so don't that mean we should help one another as fellow transportation."Avelin smiled lightly.

"You who hadn't even lived a life outside the four walls of the room are talking about conquering the world."

"Hahaha!"Leon laughed aloud for a bit and then his laughter ceased with his face becoming cold.

He raised his middle finger at Avelin and shouted"Go fuck yourself."

"Sigh! As expected from an arrogant bastard."

"Go catch that bird and that guy," Leon commanded

Following his words, screeching noises echoed one after another, and like a madman, his army shot toward Avelin like a hungry wolf and then beat the shit out of the bird.

The tidal waves of ghosts pounced onto Avelin but before they could even reach him.

BOOOM!

Avelin raised his eyes and smiled sinisterly, activating his new power.

An invisible force of energy hit them out of nowhere and Avelin's body burst out with a mystifying energy that froze them in their place making their steps falter.
