Chapter 1576
“By the way, Leon, since you’re so powerful, why didn’t you defeat Asmodeus sooner?” Roanne could not help asking rather dubiously.
She witnessed Leon kill Asmodeus with just one stroke earlier, and suddenly realized just how powerful Leon was, therefore, she could not help wondering why Leon did not defeat Asmodeus sooner and instead suffered two attacks from Asmodeus before finally retaliating.
“Well, the Potential Energy Force which I used to defeat Asmodeus doesn’t differentiate friend from foe, and if I used it earlier, I was worried that it would hurt you by mistake,” Leon explained.
“Wow, you were thinking of me all along?!” Roanne felt as though her heart skipped a beat as a strange feeling surged into her heart.
She finally realized that Leon was capable of killing Asmodeus right on the spot, back when he kidnapped her from the Thompsons‘ place.
However, because she was still in Asmodeus‘ hands, Leon did not dare to risk anything and instead would rather put himself in danger by tracking Asmodeus down, during which he suffered two attacks from Asmodeus but chose not to retaliate for fear of putting her at risk.
He did all this to protect her!
One could only imagine how touched Roanne felt by all this.
“Leon, you’re the angel that God must’ve sent to protect me. Thank you for being here,” Roanne finally could not stifle her emotions any longer. Tears brimmed in her eyes as she plucked up the courage to pull
Leon into her arms.
“Um,” Leon was stunned by this. He never dreamed that Roanne would hug him out of nowhere, and his hands dangled in mid–air, unsure of where to place them.
“Miss Thompson, your father, and mother are worried sick about you. We’d better get back soon,” Leon quickly snapped out of his stupor and pried Roanne away from him. He thought Roanne was just doing this out of excitement and relief, and thus did not think too much about it.
“Alright, then, but there’s one thing I’d like to say, Leon. Please stop calling me Miss Thompson, from now on, you can call me Roanne,” Roanne said, biting her lip nervously.
“Um, alright then, Roanne.” Leon agreed after a brief moment’s hesitation. Just as they were about to leave, however, he recalled something and paused in his footsteps.
“Wait for a while, Roanne. I need to grab something!” he called out as he strode back toward Asmodeus‘ body.
“What is it?” Roanne was puzzled by this and turned to follow Leon’s gaze. When she caught sight of Asmodeus‘ dead body lying in a pool of blood, the color drained from her face.
She was engrossed in her relief of being saved that she did not even think of Asmodeus‘ dead body, and now, the sight of the bloody, gaping hole in Asmodeus‘ chest terrified her. She quickly turned her head aside, afraid to look.
“It’s the Cuff of Doom! This is a piece of Almighty Weapon, and we shan’t waste it!” Leon could sense
Roanne’s fear, so he quickly snatched the cuff out of Asmodeus‘ limp hand and returned to Roanne’s side.
“Alright, let’s go!” He said, smiling, and the two of them strode away.
As for Asmodeus‘ body, it would prove itself useful to Leon as well; he could hand it over to the Dragon Corps in exchange for merit, but he wanted to send Roanne home first. After all, he could always come back again later!
