The Mech Lord

Chapter 71 - 70: Will

[Shouldn't you have asked me before prioritising someone else's life above yours?]

'I am sorry, okay! I couldn't just let anything happen to that guy when I brought him in,' Leo helplessly replied.

[There isn't anything you can do, but either try to fight and hold out until help arrives or run away.]

Leo turned his head and saw Aiden dragging Harry. He hadn't gotten much far away. If he ran away now, it is very likely that the thing would catch up to them.

"Raarrr!!!!" The creature let out a roar as it swiped its finger towards Leo.

Leo gritted his teeth as he commanded, 'Activate [Enhance]!'

The next moment his body suddenly seemed to start bursting with more power and energy. The heaviness in his leg, which was unbearable, seemed to disappear to a great extent.

Leo didn't dare to stand at the place anymore and immediately moved aside.

"Bang!"

The creature's finger pounded the floor and it instantly broke apart as cracks spread all around the room.

"Rarrr!!!"

Leo frowned as that thing roared once again before charging towards him.

There was no option now.

The Aurora energy in his body immediately began to circulate around his body, and he immediately struck with a side kick.

"Bang!"

The attack landed on the blob of dark matter, but all it did was leave a slight depression on it and further enraged it.

Leo's face turned even darker, and this time he performed a roundhouse kick while using his skill [Charge] at the same time.

The attack as usual left a small depression on its body, but Leo wasn't done. He immediately released all the electrical charge that he had gathered with his energy.

"Crackle!"

The creature's body wriggled strangely. It clearly seemed to have felt the pain, unfortunately, it was not enough.

The creature's hand suddenly caught hold of Leo's foot, and Leo knew that he was done at the moment.

He suddenly felt his world upside down as the thing lifted him up into the air and slammed him hard onto the floor.

"Boom!"

Saliva splashed out of Leo's mouth as he felt an intense pain course through his body. It felt like he had been hit by a truck. But, it wasn't the end, the creature pulled out Leo once again before flinging him to the side.

"Bang!"

His body crashed into the wall, and slid down to the ground.

[Get up, or you will die!] Arthur's voice continued to ring in Leo's head, and it prevented him from passing out.

He could still see that thing coming towards him with his blurry eyes as he tried to get up using the wall behind him as a support.

His body was shaking, and he really was close to losing his senses. But, he still raised his head to look at the strange creature.

The creature's eyes suddenly seemed to turn menacing. It looked angry and upset at Leo's stubbornness. And, the next instant, a terrifying aura surged out from the creature as it let out another roar.

And, this time it was loud, enough to reverberate across the entire Academy.

….

Dean's Office.

Two people were currently sitting across the table.

The Old man with white beard, wearing a white gown like a robe was the Dean of the Academy, Valen D. Longinus.

The man sitting in front of him was someone familiar, it was the librarian, Jackle Redwood.

"Why are you so acting like this, Jack? It's been years since that incident, do you really need to be this stubborn?" Valen asked him with a helpless look on his face.

"You have been repeating the same thing for more than a decade, Professor. How about giving up now?" Jack asked him with a smile.

"Raarr!!!"

The sound immediately made Jack laugh. "It seems someone has left their Pet roaming around all alone. I guess they are learning from you."

Valen was about to scold him, when a strange fluctuation hit them. And, the two's faces immediately turned grave.

Valen suddenly waved his hand, and a similar aura burst forth from his body suppressing the previous one in its entirety. And, it didn't stop there. He spread it out throughout the whole campus bringing everyone into its protection.

Only god knew what would have happened if the person releasing that aura had tried to do something to the students.

A tragedy would have definitely struck, but luckily that thing currently was only focused on one person.

Jack got up from his seat, and turned around as he muttered in a grim tone, "Will.."

It was coming from the direction of the Library.

And, this immediately made Jack's face turn ugly. He perfectly knew there was a student there.

...

That strange aura hit Leo and he felt his knees sinking into the ground. He almost felt like puking out blood. His eyes slowly began to roll over. He was about to lose consciousness.

He tried extremely hard to hold onto it. But, it was just too much. The pressure he felt was truly great, he felt as if he was just a tiny ant going against a mountain.

A second later, his body went limp, and it slowly tilted forward and began to fall.

"Thud!"

But, out of nowhere, Leo's feet suddenly moved and he pushed it onto the ground stopping himself from crashing down. Yet, if one looked carefully, they would find that his eyes had turned white. He clearly had lost consciousness.

"Whoosh!"

Leo's clothes and hair began to flutter as a strange aura began to leak out of him. It was similar to that of the creature, but more terrifying. It was as if something hidden deep down within him had awakened.

And, there seemed to be an extreme loath within that aura towards the strange creature.

The Creature immediately began to cower in the face of that aura and turned around to flee. It seemed to have recognised the owner of the aura.

But, unfortunately it was too late.

The strange aura leaking out from Leo exploded outwards, and came crashing down on the creature.. And, its body immediately exploded to smithereens the next instant.
