Chapter 2211: Chapter 1231: One Sword (Part 2)
Brell couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, the shock on his face becoming increasingly evident.
Among the stunned crowd, only Cecilia and the other two appeared as if expecting it, each looking at Leo Ray’s figure with reverence.
This young man from another world could defeat even the Malevolent Deity’s Chosen Son who aimed to destroy the entire Human World, to say nothing of these fierce jackalmen?
“Fei’er’s skill indeed proves useful. After undergoing the Dragon Lightning Enchantment, the power of Shadow Pursuing Light Break has doubled.”
Leo Ray twirled his sword and nodded satisfactorily.
Of course, the Tier 6 Rolanddel, Power of Divine Grace, and the opponent’s greed and underestimation played a massive role; otherwise, it would have been impossible to instantly kill a peer-level Tier 5 Powerhouse.
“Mon… Monster! He’s a monster!”
Seeing their leader bleed out on the spot, many jackal soldiers wore expressions of terror on their lupine faces.
Even the jackalman powerhouses who had intended to besiege Leo Ray with their leader started to retreat instinctively, filled with shock.
With even the brutal leader renowned for savagery and bloodthirst being slain with one strike, what chance did they stand?
For a moment, what was once a murderous jackalman army quickly fell into chaos, as if they’d seen the Grim Reaper.
“Being called a monster by a group of upright walking jackalmen isn’t a pleasant nickname, indeed.”
The purple glow of Leo Ray’s Rolanddel sword throbbed as he grinned, “The time’s still early, the revelry has just begun.”
With that, Leo Ray’s figure flashed, transforming into a phantom as he darted toward the nearest jackalmen.
This time, Leo Ray didn’t activate Thunder Domain, but purely employed a physical-type attack method, charging back and forth within the enemy ranks.
Accompanied by blinding purple sword glimmers sweeping past, terrified screams and wails echoed across the battlefield.
In the face of Leo Ray’s unstoppable longsword, whether shields, sharp blades, or armor — all were as fragile as paper, and an increasingly potent scent of blood spread across the battlefield.
It took no long to spread the chaotic retreat like a landslide within the jackalman army, with numerous soldiers abandoning their armor and helmets, rapidly retreating.
In this process, many jackalmen who stumbled or fell behind were soon engulfed by the retreating army, making for a scene of utter destruction.
“Do you think the Human Domain is a place where you can come and go at will?”
Leo Ray looked at the tide-like retreating army, wiped the fresh red off his sword blade, and said calmly, “Well then, it’s time to wrap things up.”
With that, Leo Ray snapped his fingers lightly, and a massive blue city emerged from the night, blocking the retreating jackalman army.
Countless arrows and guided cannon fire shot forth, causing blossoms of rising death flames to bloom across the battlefield.
“Blue Mobile City? Magic and Martial Arts Dual Powerhouse?”
Seeing the relentless jackalmen falter helplessly, Brell suddenly recalled something in shock and blurted out, “Could that mysterious lord be the Prince of the Holy Lion from Coldflame Kingdom?”
But Brell’s resolute face showed a hint of confusion again.
Even he, stationed perpetually at Ironstone Fortress, had heard of Leo Ray’s renown.
After all, Leo Ray, with extremely limited forces, effortlessly blocked the Pars Empire’s army of over a million, a tale that has long circulated among Pars troops.
“But the rumor is that the Holy Lion Prince is merely a Double Tier 4 Strong, how could he have advanced to Double Tier 5 Strong in such a short time?”
“Moreover, though all are defeated hands of the Holy Lion Prince, why do Cecilia, Barnet, and Antonio address the Holy Lion Prince as lord?”
Brell’s face was full of confusion yet soon again was filled with admiration.
Though he didn’t know what exactly happened, it was clear, the Holy Lion Prince evidently saved this precarious fortress, saved them all!
“Lord Brell, remember, he is the Holy Lion Prince to all of us, and the savior of the entire Human World.”
Seeing there weren’t honorifics in Brell’s words, Cecilia frowned and directly walked to the robust general, furrowed her brows, and said, “Well, Ironstone Fortress is too remote and rather isolated, it seems you haven’t heard of his achievements, let’s let you know everything then.”
With that, Cecilia briefly and thoroughly explained the situation’s origins, filled with admiration for Leo Ray.
“So these are the origins of those terrifying roots, we unknowingly became pawns close to destroying the Human World?”
Upon hearing, not only Brell but the surrounding general all sat stunned to the ground, faces full of retrospective dread.
But after a brief moment, the crowd’s faces showed uncontrollable admiration, and even their bodies trembled.
No wonder not even Cecilia and the others addressed the Holy Lion Prince as the lord, despite Pars Empire once being pawns to the evil source, yet the Prince sheltered the pursued Cecilia and her party, even personally aiding this remote frontier.
Such incredible kindness, how could it not evoke reverence?
As Brell and others were overwhelmed with excitement, Leo Ray appeared atop the city wall accompanied by a gust of wind.
“Greetings, Royal Highness Prince!”
Seeing Cecilia and the other two immediately salute, the respectful tone was evident.
Without hesitation, Brell and others also fell to the ground, heads pressed closely to the earth, expressing genuine gratitude and awe with imperial courtesy toward Leo Ray.
“Everyone, please rise, this is the Human Domain, naturally, I won’t allow foreign races to defile it.”
Leo Ray nodded to the crowd, particularly looking at Brell, smilingly said, “You’re the commander of this fortress, right? With such limited forces, yet still willing to resist the foreign races till the end, each of you are commendable warriors.”
“The Royal Highness Prince is too kind, receiving your praise and witnessing your gallant grandeur, is undoubtedly the greatest honor for each of us!”
Brell was intensely moved, trembling again, while other generals were similarly excited, nodding along.
“Very well, I’ve brought your comrades back, now there’s no need to worry about those foreign race threats anymore.”
Leo Ray glanced at Ice Stone City, which had cleared the jackalman army greatly, then casually bestowed a Healing Magic Potion to that scout captain who took an arrow to the knee, nodding slightly.
Indeed, the reason Leo Ray appeared here was to return those deployed Pars troops to various fortresses; his recent intervention was merely a spur of the moment.
After matters in Saint Night Kingdom and Orchid Federation concluded, according to the planned agenda, Leo Ray returned to Pars Empire with Cecilia and others.
Due to the deceived Emperor’s critical illness leading to chaos in the unowned Pars Empire, Leo Ray, with Cecilia and others’ aid, easily seized command over the troops and leveraged Ice Stone City for rapid deployment, re-consolidating the edges of the Human World.
“Upon completing all this, the next step is to return to Pars Imperial City for the new emperor’s coronation ceremony.”
Leo Ray’s gaze shifted to Cecilia’s elegant figure.
Following previous intentions, having supported Ariel Watson as a queen, naturally, he could foster Cecilia into an empress.
“After careful consideration, compared to Braddon and other crown princes, Cecilia indeed is the most suitable choice, so I chose her.”
Leo Ray’s gaze remained fixated on her, thoughtfully said, “Of course, to completely control this largest of the Human World’s realms, I made some small preparations.”
