Chapter 330  330:Tracking And Hunting[IV]

Using the dagger's power might derail his plans, but it was far preferable to everyone perishing and their relics being pilfered.

A hot luminescent bluish light began to coalesce around the dagger Bill clenched.

Unable to resist the dagger's formidable power, the surrounding air began to burn.

'One shot. The moment they enter, I'll unleash everything into this one strike.'

Even if the intruder bore the fate of a predator, they wouldn't be fully on guard until the door swung open.

No, if he landed the hit, it was even plausible to claim their life in return.

The booming noise was now directly outside.

'Please...!'

Despite his ragged breathing, Bill's concentration was at its pinnacle. As he tightly gripped the dagger.

Finally, the sturdy wooden door was blasted to smithereens.

And from behind it, a shadowy figure emerged.

At that moment.

From Bill's dagger, a concentrated blast of fiery energy was unleashed, metamorphosing into a massive flame dragon in an instant, toward the intruder, Leon.

Flame Dragon Breath.

The most potent attack Bill could muster with his dagger.

As anticipated, the flame dragon burned everything it grazed, and within seconds, it stood directly before Leon.

'Hit...!'

At that moment, a sense of exhilaration filled Bill's eyes.

At that moment.

Everyone in the room, including him, witnessed it.

Slowly yet swiftly.

The medium-length sword swung by Leon.

From that sword, a line was carved into reality.

SWISH!

A blackish line cut through the air.

The air seemed to be paused as the line seamlessly cut everything.

Like a canvas that had been engraved with a black brush with such smoothness, the lines without leaving behind any catastrophic destruction just cleared the enemy.

Leon stood stunned as he watched the flame Dragon breath roaring at him, now halved and vanishing into thin air.

Truth be told, he hadn't expected such an attack when he had unlocked the full expanse of his power. That's why he had quickly drawn the exitus without even summoning his Martial spirit.

After training, he could use the power of darkness but it was difficult to integrate it into sword strike as the sword cut drawn by him would always explode creating a mess.

Not that it matters to him, but this attack that just cut the target really felt smooth.

"Hmm! It seems the more I fight, the more my proficiency will increase.."

Nevertheless, it was a stroke of luck.

As Leon wrapped up his thoughts, he saw the green-haired man and the rest, frozen in place, staring at him.

Their mouths hung open slightly, as though they couldn't understand what they had just witnessed.

"H-how could this be…"

The man's trembling voice, finally breaking the silence, echoed around them.

The power of a legendary relic.

Furthermore, it was one of the abilities of the Flame Dragon that can burn down everything unleashed.

Despite being a small part of the original artifact, its power was unbelievable.

It wasn't a force that could be easily vanquished with a single slash.

And the spectacle of it vanishing was even stranger.

It didn't look like it had been sliced by swordsmanship, but more like it had vanished the moment it touched the short sword's line.

"Can this really happen?"

Ignoring Bill's bewilderment, Leon strode toward him.

"B-block him!"

The other Black Demons members around him dashed towards Leon.

From the get-go, it was futile trying to stop Leon, who had wiped out an entire branch of the group single-handedly.

Leon, holding only a sword, was ruthlessly taking down the member.

Countless sword marks are drawn in the air.

Pieces of blood, meat, and flesh started flying around and then rained down on the flow.

Some tried to self-destruct while some burned their lives to increase their power but all of this became futile.

After all, everyone associated with Black Demons were crazies who longed for the world to end.

Leon was not so generous as to show these monsters mercy.

"I wouldn't have spared them regardless."

To Leon, it didn't matter if his opponent was evil or good when it came to deciding their fate.

What mattered was if they could be of use to him.

"Aaaaaah!"

Then, Bill, who had gathered another blast of hot air with the same intensity as before, lunged at Leon with his dagger.

Or at least, he tried to.

But before he could.

Leon's sword appeared in front of him like a ghost, severing the right hand holding the dagger.

"Ah..."

Bill blankly stared at his severed wrist, now flung into the air.

The last thing he saw before his death was...

"You can't pull the same trick twice."

Accompanied by Leon's soft voice...

A jet-black sword light filled his view.

'That is...'

Having taken out the last branch head, Bill, Leon noticed a red hot dagger turning into a white dagger resting on the ground as he scanned his surroundings.

His eyes lit up with curiosity.

He strolled over and picked up the dagger.

Just by holding it, a hot temperature seeped out, threatening to burn his whole body.

'System, what's this?'

[A dagger made from the canine of Flame Dragon Pyrodrake.]

Leon felt that the dagger was a bit unusual.

"Is it related to the protagonist?''

[Yes]

Leon looked at the slaughter all around.

He was now in the hall and at the end, there were huge runes and engraving with a middle consisting of a blood pool.

He was damn sure that the blood was of humans. Maybe other species are also it but it consists mostly of humans.

Most of his forces were left to guard against the black demon in the academy.

He didn't want to take a chance and leave the safety of Gwen and Su Lin to others. Also, he attached a few ghosts to a few protagonists.

A few moments later, the ghost came up with the news.

It seems that are collecting the pieces of Flame Dragon as there were a lot of materials and tracking materials on it.

As for the purpose, there wasn't anything that could indicate that.

As he pondered this, Leon pocketed the dagger when...

Footsteps echoed towards him.

'Are they coming now?'

"Today's my lucky day."

Murmuring this, Leon started planning his next steps.

Soon, he saw the blood pool lit up.

A dense blood qi seemed to concede around.

The undergoing seemed to quiver and soon, a blood-reddish light exploded.

"They appeared outside. Let me take my stance first."

Though the number seemed to be in hundred Leon's face remained calm.

"What is this?"

A scream rang around.

A group charged in, completely shattering the already damaged door.

Leading the group was a black demon Demorgan who seems to be the branch head followed by a feeble-looking Elf Aerin.

"You appear... unscathed."

Upon seeing Leon standing untouched in the middle of the room, shock appeared on everyone's face.

The room was filled with bodies.

The eyes of these bodies were brimming with fear, as though they hadn't had a chance to fight back.

Seeing their looks, Leon answered..,

"I wanted to ask them if they liked my treatment, alas all of them passed away before answering  so…"

He lifted his sword and pointed at them.

"I also feel that you are lonely but don't worry, I will call them to awaken you.."

"Mu fellow ghosts...Its time to welcome guests."

"AWAKEN!"
