Chapter 252
After a moment, the man in the armor whispered, "Don't move."
Two simple words, devoid of any emotion, sounded like an order that could not be refused.
And this "Don't move" wasn't just said to Ravi, but also to the other two dragon kings.
While Leon was suppressing Ravi, Losweiser immediately rushed towards Noa was standing to the side.
"Noa! Noa, are you alright?"
The Queen knelt down and held her daughter in her arms.
A line of blood seeped from the corner of Noa's mouth. Although the sneak attack had successfully distracted Ravi and created an opportunity for Leon to break through the barrier, she was still just a two-year-old child. How could her still-developing body not be injured after being kicked by the Dragon King?
Losweiser used basic medical magic to alleviate Noa's injuries.
Noa soon woke up.
Her first words after regaining consciousness were, "Was I helpful, Mom...?"
With tears welling in her eyes, Losweiser wiped the dust and blood from her daughter's face. "Yes, it helped. Noa helped Daddy Mom a lot."
Noa's tightly furrowed brows, which had been furrowed in pain, slowly relaxed, and a forced smile appeared on her small face. "That's good."
Losweiser held her daughter in her arms, slowly stood up, and looked at Leon not far away.
Leon happened to be looking back at her.
She nodded slightly, indicating that Noa was alright.
Leon was about to respond when he suddenly felt Ravi's breathing become slightly heavier, and then—
Boom!--
A powerful punch landed squarely on Ravi's face, slamming his entire head into the ground.
Blood flowed into the cracks in the ground, and Ravi's limbs twitched.
"I said, don't move."
The dragon who said Leon's wife and daughter were his weaknesses has already had his head chopped off;
As for what fate awaits the guy who truly harmed Noa...
That's it—even breathing is wrong.
Leon, gripping the half-dead Ravi, slowly lifted him up.
This scene completely stunned the remaining two Dragon Kings.
This is different from what the intelligence provided by the Empire said, isn't it?
Wasn't it said that Leon Casmod's strength was only slightly greater than Constantine's?
How?
Do you humans and we Dragon Race have different definitions of "a little bit"?
One punch and Ravi is dead?! You call that a mere tap?!
Blaise and Jaggs slowly retreated, and the spatial magic circle gradually dissipated.
But the dark blue crack on the ground did not disappear.
"What do we do now? Sta is dead, and Ravi is probably next."
Blair swallowed hard. "Do we still need to continue fighting that monster?"
But no one responded.
"Jaggs? Jaggs? Hello?"
Blair turned his head to look, but there was no one beside him.
Bly:?
Spatial magic is so convenient; you can escape without even your own teammates noticing.
Seeing this, Blaise immediately activated spatial magic, performing a light-speed resurrection.
Let whoever wants to kill a monster like Leon do it; I'm not getting involved in this mess.
With his two henchmen gone, Ravi was left with no way out.
He was being choked by Leon and suspended in mid-air, where he could suffocate at any moment.
Now that things have come to this... is there any way to salvage the situation?
Like Stall, would he take Leon down with him?
No, that's impossible.
Who knows if Leon has any other trump cards he hasn't played yet, cards that might be applicable to other opponents, but definitely not to this armored monster.
Even the intense desire for revenge inherent in the Ravi Dragon Race had to be tempered in front of Leon.
Ravi's drowsy mind struggled to think.
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the spatial rift to the side.
"Ah... in that case..." he muttered softly.
"What?"
"Leon Casmod, let's take a gamble and see if you can really give up everything for your so-called family."
What are you going to do—
Ravi suddenly sprang up, kicking Leon's breastplate with his foot. With a forceful shove, a sound of flesh tearing was heard.
Blood spurted from Ravi's throat instantly; he was willing to resort to this self-harming method to break free from Leon's control.
Leon was also slightly frightened by Ravi's crazy actions.
By the time he came to his senses, Ravi had already staggered to the side of the spatial rift.
He covered his bleeding throat with one hand and placed the other on his heart.
"I admit it, Leon Casmod. With your strength, even a large number of dragon kings would not be able to escape." Ravi's throat was damaged, and his voice was hoarse.
"Your acknowledgment means nothing to me, Ravi."
"Hmph... That's true. A person who is invincible doesn't need anyone's approval. But, like I just said, are you really willing to risk everything for the people you care about?"
What exactly do you want to do?
Ravi stopped answering, and the next second, his heart began to glow.
A moment later, Ravi was seen peeling a dragon scale from his own heart.
Unlike the normal dragon scales that are attached to the surface of the body, these dragon scales were more translucent, like a sparkling crystal.
Losweiser narrowed her eyes slightly, "Heart-protecting Dragon Scale..."
Ravi did not intend to self-destruct like Star, because Dragon Race can only gather the energy necessary for self-destruction while the Heart-protecting Dragon Scale are still in the heart.
What exactly does Naravi want to do...?
Say goodbye to this world!
Ravi raised the dragon scale high and then inserted it into the spatial rift beneath him.
The moment the dragon scales disappeared into the crack, the crack surged with terrifying energy, instantly annihilating Ravi, who was closest to it.
Leon reacted quickly, rushing to Losweiser and Noa and instantly opening the fifth gate of the Nine Hells, bringing the mother and daughter to safety.
Fortunately, the explosion was small in area and did not last long.
Once the energy dissipated, a spatial rift nearly two meters long appeared beside Ravi's charred corpse.
Furthermore, the cracks continue to expand outwards, drawing in the surrounding sand and gravel with powerful suction.
Even Ravi's corpse was sucked in.
Inside the crack, however, only rolling black clouds and continuous lightning could be seen.
It creates a very strong sense of incongruity with its surroundings, as if a hole had been forcibly cleaved open in the real space.
"He forcibly activated the teleportation spell he just used with the Heart-protecting Dragon Scale."
"But it's clear the magic is out of control," Losweiser said. "The cracks are expanding slowly, but if this continues, it won't be long before everything around here is swallowed up. And we don't know when it will stop."
It's truly one problem after another. (Dam)
After Ravi's death, all the Star-wandering Dragon Clan retreated.
The Silver Dragon Clan soldiers also arrived, and they, too, noticed the ever-widening crack.
Anna stood beside Losweiser, inquired about Noa's injuries, and then began discussing how to close the rift. "What if we used equal amounts of Magic Power to clash with it? Could we forcibly stop it?"
Losweiser bit her lip. There really wasn't any other way at the moment. She didn't know much about spatial magic, so she could only give it a try. (Lin)
Having confirmed their aversion, the Silver Dragon Clan simultaneously gathered their energy and blasted it towards the crack.
However, all their magical attacks were sucked into the crack and had no effect whatsoever.
Cold sweat trickled down Anna's forehead. "How could this happen..."
As they spoke, the crack had already expanded to about five meters. (The wine)
The suction power has also increased.
Losweiser stared at the crack. If it had gone out of control because of Ravi's Heart-protecting Dragon Scale, then conversely, if only one more dragon king's Heart-protecting Dragon Scale were available, it could be stopped.
She was the Only One Dragon King present.
If she could, Losweiser would not hesitate to use her Heart-protecting Dragon Scale to end this crisis.
But her dragon scales were already—
"I see."
Leon's voice was muffled.
Losweiser looked at him. "What?"
"Before Ravi opened the rift, he said, 'Would I really risk everything for you?' I think that meant something like..."
He lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and then slowly looked at his wife beside him, "Only I can stop it."
Upon hearing this, Losweiser paused, her silver eyes flickering slightly. She seemed to have guessed what Leon was about to do.
"Leon... no... absolutely not..."
The Queen's voice trembled slightly.
She couldn't accept that outcome.
I simply cannot accept this.
Leon didn't answer, but simply raised his hand and tried to remove the helmet from the Black-Gold War Chariot.
This time, the picking went very smoothly.
Beneath the helmet was that resolute profile she had seen countless times, and she knew exactly how many scars were on his face.
Leon remained expressionless and silently placed the helmet into Losweiser's hands.
Snap—
The helmet fell to the ground.
She didn't dare to answer it.
"No... Leon, no..."
Losweiser held Noa in one arm and tried to grasp Leon's wrist with the other. She was almost crying as she said, "Let's think of another way. There must be another way."
Leon remained silent for a moment, then gently pulled his hand away from Losweiser's.
He glanced sideways at the daughter in her arms.
The pain caused Noa to temporarily fall into a coma.
It's fine, passing out... it's fine too.
Leon raised his hand and gently pinched Noa's cheek.
After a long while, a relieved smile appeared on that resolute face.
