Seeing Aerin rushing towards him.
He lunged in the opposite direction and landed on a roll before grabbing the huge block of debris on the ground and throwing it toward Aerin.
Behind him, Aerin had already begun moving toward him. In a burst of blurring speed, she caught up to him within the blink of an eye
Aerin swung her first with fierce momentum.
A crystallized mass of air pressure shot from her punch that destroyed all the debris hurling towards her with a thundering boom.
"This bitch is crazy," Leon chuckled, throwing a few more sets of debris.
Then she closed in with a snort and accelerated forward.
Without wasting any time, she stomped her foot on the ground, cracking the road under her feet as crevices appeared on the concrete from her mana pressure.
After securing her footing, she clenched her right fist as it shone with even more golden brilliance, and whipped her right arm forward, throwing a right hook with all her might.
It looked as if her fist was encased inside an incandescent sun. Leon could physically feel the scorching heat and the turbulent wind around her fist as it closed in on him from his left like a golden orb of light.
Leon ducked by bending his knees at the last possible moment. The mere swing of Aerin's arm broke the sound barrier once again and created a sonic boom.
Once more, a crushing shockwave surged forth and it looked like the rainstorm itself was momentarily cleared.
Even though Leon wasn't hit by either her punch or the shockwave that followed, he could feel the tremors in the air.
Aerin acted quickly and retracted her right arm before swiftly bringing her left fist down on Leon.
"Tsk," Leon clicked his tongue and quickly sidestepped in an attempt to avoid the attack.
Aerin's punch connected with nothing but air, creating another sonic boom. This time, Leon took the lead and went on the offensive.
He stepped closer to the blonde hair beauty and thrust his sword at her face, intent on splitting open her skull.
Aerin's eyes widened as she reacted in time to tilt her head and avoid the cloaked man's blackish blade that appeared out of thin air. However… the attack never came!
Leon abruptly halted his thrust, releasing the sword from his grasp, only to catch it again with his other hand positioned at his waist level.
Aerin's eyes widened as she reacted in time to tilt her head and avoid the cloaked man's blackish blade that appeared out of thin air. However… the attack never came!
Leon abruptly halted his thrust, releasing the sword from his grasp, only to catch it again with his other hand positioned at his waist level.
Before Aerin could react, Leon shot his hand forward and plunged the blackish blade of his dagger into her upper torso, piercing her lungs.
"Khuaaa!" Aerin's pupils constricted and an agonizing yelp escaped her lips as an organ-rending pain assaulted her body.
Blood spurted from her chest and her eyes widened wondering what kind of pain plunged a blade straight at the woman's chest.
"Tsk! Useless"
Demorgan snorted while cursing her name in the background and recklessly rushed at them, wanting to get Leon away from her.
But it was already too late and the damage was done. Leon twisted the dagger and then dislodged it from her body.
Aerin gasped once again before she lost the strength in her knees. She buckled to the ground and fell face-first on the hard concrete.
Suddenly, she felt cold, unbearably so. It was chilly… the warmth was draining out from the stab wound on her upper torso.
It was getting hard for her to breathe… Had she already stopped breathing? It was getting dark.
The pouring rain was painful. Each drop of water that fell on her from the sky felt like small pebbles hitting her at top speed.
Tak… Tak… Tak…
The sound of rain itself was also painful, it felt as if her eardrums were about to burst open.
Thankfully, before lightning flashed and thunder followed, the darkness got to get… And oh, it was so warm and comforting.
The blinding light around her fists faded as Aerin loosened her clenched palms, simultaneously, the bright golden glow in her eyes also dulled and the spark of life in them slowly started to extinguish.
Leon indifferently looked at the fallen girl, the crimson blood seeping out from her wound and mixing in with the rain.
He then turned his attention to Demorgan, who had used this time to dash in on him and was now just a few inches away from him.
There was a glint of an uncontrollable and downright maniacal smile in Demorgan's eyes… It was almost as if he was on the verge of losing his sanity from rage however it didn't look like it.
Leon casually turned sideways to face him in a head-on clash as Demorgan swung his sword at him.
The world, at that moment, turned static.
Everything stopped.
The raindrops froze in the air and the arc of thunderous lightning flashing in the air also stopped.
Only the blade of Demorgan's sword, which was enveloped in a dark glow, moved at a speed almost comparable to a flash of light.
His blade cut through the drops of water frozen in the air and made an arc in the air, nearing Leon's neck.
CLANG
But before Demorgan's sword could cut off Leon's head, Leon moved and parried the attack with his sword.
Demorgan couldn't help but gasp in surprise. A net of cracks appeared on his blade and in the next moment…
BANG!
It snapped.
His sword broke.
"....?!" Demorgan staggered sideways, carried by his momentum.
But before he could do anything, Leon brought his dagger up in one fluid motion and thrust it toward Demorgan's chest.
Demorgan blocked the attack in time by letting the blade pierce his left arm. Leon clicked his tongue again and thrust his free palm into Demorgan's abdomen.
QUAK!
Demorgan reeled back by the force of that palm thrust, it felt as if he was hit by a speeding truck.
Before he could compose himself, Leon stepped in and whipped his right leg up, performing a flawless front snap kick.
Demorgan once again reacted at the speed of lightning and crossed his arms below his chin to block Leon's kick.
Although he managed to block the attack once again, Demorgan was thrown into the air by the force that Leon's kick carried.
"Khuu!" Demorgan winced in pain as his whole world flipped, right now he was facing the black clouded sky while falling down.

If you like tech and business themed books, I hope you can take a look at my second 'The Tycoon Odyssey.'
There is a cameo of Leon in chapter 87 and some things of Leon's past would be connected with that book.
