Yaoyao seemed to realize she had said the wrong thing, and subtly slipped out of Alice's arms, jumping onto Leo's shoulder and not daring to move.
"Stop fooling around, deal with this army of Tiger Beastmen first."
Leo immediately changed the subject to avoid putting Alice in an awkward position.
Yaoyao's big eyes darted around, and she immediately said, " Alice, please wait a moment. Let our two brave and invincible heroes protect you."
"With us here, you are safe. This is my promise, King Yaoyao!"
Thank you.
Alice forced a smile, but dared not look Leo in the eye. She felt an urge to let Leo and Yaoyao die here instead of saving her.
She gripped the staff tightly in her hand, and if you looked closely, you could see the bulging veins on the back of her hand.
"Kill those evil wizards!"
Thanks to Tiger Beastmen's angry roar, the awkward atmosphere between Leo and Alice was broken.
Looking at the overwhelming army of Tiger Beastmen surging towards him, Leo thought, "I'll thank them with my death!"
The magical power within his body circulated at an extreme speed, traveling countless kilometers in an instant. This extreme circulation of magical power brought forth a surge of immense strength.
As Leo chanted a deep incantation, all his magical power surged into the sky through the Godslaying Staff.
The surging magical energy fluctuations were the result of Leo's precise control over a complex process. In the invisible elemental world, one after another, magic arrays composed of elements were taking shape...
In Leo's perception, the magical power within his body was driving the elemental energy in the space. Each element being mobilized was like the most beautiful, dancing musical notes, preparing to perform a masterpiece.
The elemental energy that was originally above the battlefield began to surge, like a huge wave brewing on a restless sea.
The sky, which had only a few clouds, was instantly covered with dark clouds, and streaks of lightning, like silver snakes, snaked through the clouds.
The weather changes abruptly, much like the woman you marry who changes her mind faster than turning the pages of a book; one second the sky is clear and sunny, the next dark clouds loom over the city.
"Click, click"
Streaks of lightning illuminated the darkening sky, casting flickering light on the faces of all those on the battlefield.
" Great Thunder Descent Sorcery!"
Amidst Leo's hoarse roar, all the lightning bolts in the dark clouds above, under the command of the Godslaying Staff in Leo's hand, struck down towards all the surrounding Tiger Beastmen as if equipped with precision guidance.
"Boom boom boom"
No Tiger Beastmen could dodge the lightning that was already being targeted, even if they slithered around erratically before the lightning struck their heads, even if they didn't know their own escape route or where they would step next.
But these lightning bolts would curve in the air and catch up with them precisely.
One after another, screams of agony filled the air, and corpses collapsed with white eyes rolling on the ground. Under Leo's thunderous sorcery, all the Tiger Beastmen within 500 meters were relentlessly struck by lightning. Except for a few Level 2 Tiger Beastmen withstood the attack, the rest, including Level 1 Tiger Beastmen, were all electrocuted into charred remains.
Five hundred meters—this is a death zone, a deadly area that no Tiger Beastmen can enter.
" Leo, you..."
Alice stared in astonishment at the Tiger Beastmen killed within a 500-meter radius. Although most of them were insignificant beings, Leo's attack had killed at least 4,000 Tiger Beastmen, including more than 100 Level 1 Tiger Beastmen.
Leo's attack was far superior to hers!
When we parted ways last time, Leo's strength was already evident. After all, Leo had been forced to drop out of the top 2,500 in the Level-One Championship because of the death of Wizard Gru.
Although I can't sense Leo's presence now and don't know exactly how strong Leo is, he is definitely much stronger than when we separated.
Doesn't he need to stop and rest?
Or are Level-One Elemental Body Refinement Wizard really that monstrous?
Alice thought her progress was fast enough; in just over two hundred and fifty years, she had already reached the advanced level one. She was confident that she could pass the initial elimination rounds in the next level Level-One Championship, and even making it to the first two rounds of the one-on-one finals would be no problem.
But now, seeing Leo, she felt increasingly inadequate and insignificant; her strength was not even as good as Leo's fifty years ago.
As for now...
Then there's even less of a comparison.
"Aaaaah, you evil wizard, you must die here today!"
Looking at the thousands of dead soldiers, a level two Tiger Beastmen hovering in the air roared.
With his roar, thousands of figures immediately flew out from the hundreds of thousands of Tiger Beastmen army and charged towards Leo and Alice.
Those who can fly are at least at level one strength!
These are thousands of Tiger Beastmen of level one or higher!!!
"We're no match for them, let's run away first."
Upon seeing so many level one and level two warriors, Alice's expression changed. Although First-Level Wizard like them could defeat dozens or even hundreds of level one Tiger Beastmen, the thousands of level one warriors and hundreds of level two warriors were far beyond their ability to cope.
She has been in Tiger Lesser World for twenty years. Although she has not solved any of the problems here, she has developed a knack for escaping.
Although the situation they were facing was dangerous, this wasn't the first time Alice had encountered it, and she was confident that she could escape with Leo.
Running away when you can't win is not shameful at all.
"Escape? Alice, have you become so cowardly? There aren't even enough natives for Leo to kill!"
Faced with Alice's suggestion to escape, Yaoyao gave a disdainful and mocking smile to the army of thousands of Tiger Beastmen.
Given their limited strength and numbers, Leo had several ways to eliminate them.
How to eliminate them simply depends on which method Leo chooses.
"Don't talk big, prepare for nuclear fission to replenish energy."
Facing the thousands of level-one or higher Tiger Beastmen who were charging towards him, Leo's expression remained unchanged. With a relaxed smile, he even flicked Yaoyao's forehead while she was showing off.
"Okay, okay."
Yaoyao rubbed her head, feeling deeply ashamed of being beaten in front of Alice.
Alice couldn't quite understand how these two could remain so relaxed while facing an encirclement by a large army. Was it excessive confidence, or had their confidence gone too far and become arrogance?
Alice didn't know Leo's current strength. She couldn't sense any of Leo's aura and could only guess based on her experience that Leo was currently at the peak of First-Level Wizard and could advance to the second level within two hundred years.
While such strength is considerable, it's probably insufficient to deal with so many Tiger Beastmen, isn't it?
With so many beastmen, at least ten well-coordinated First-Level Wizard would be needed, and even level two wizards would require several.
Alice quietly raised her staff, preparing to help Leo while he attacked. Perhaps Leo, having just entered, didn't realize that these Tiger Beastmen were different from the natives of other worlds; they were much stronger. He couldn't judge them by his old standards, or he would suffer a great loss.
But what happened next completely shattered Alice's worldview. All her worries vanished like dust in a raging wind under Leo's attack...
" Gravity Domain, activate!"
With a soft murmur, a black magic circle flashed past and disappeared beneath Leo Leo's feet.
Then those Tiger Beastmen charged forward, whether level one or level two, whether in the air or on the ground...
Without Alice understanding, it exploded into clumps of bloody foam.
The speed was so fast that thousands of Tiger Beastmen were all blown to bits in the blink of an eye.
The beastmen died so quickly, like dirt easily wiped off a piece of paper; in the blink of an eye, the roars on the battlefield vanished without a trace...
It seems that the thousands of level-one or higher beastmen who just roared and attacked were all an illusion!
When Leo finished his attack and took a deep breath, the blood foam in the sky had not yet dissipated, and every breath of air carried a faint smell of blood.
" Leo, you..."
Alice's hand holding the staff trembled slightly; Leo's abilities far exceeded her expectations.
Or rather, Leo was somewhat unfamiliar to her.
This is not the power First-Level Wizard should display, or even Level Two Wizard should be this strong!!!
"Alright, we've dealt with those at level one and above. The rest, the less capable ones, are no problem. Let's go now."
Leo turned to Alice and smiled.
On Leo's face, there was no trace of the fact that he had just annihilated thousands of level one or higher individuals. His relaxed state was more like that of someone who had just attended a banquet, eaten a few bites of food, and drunk a few sips of wine.
"Okay, let's go."
Alice suppressed her surprise, took to the sky, and flew off in one direction.
Leo glanced at the corpses of the Tiger Beastmen on the ground. Their aura had completely disappeared, making them seem like they had been dead for several days, not just recently.
The Tiger Beastmen who were killed by the Gravity Domain before the spatial passage did not leave behind any corpses, so Leo naturally did not notice this special situation. But now, looking at the charred corpses that had been struck by lightning, Leo realized the anomaly.
They didn't seem like living beings; to Leo, they felt more like puppets!
And then there were the lowly Tiger Beastmen continued to charge forward on the ground. They had witnessed the deaths of all the Level 1 and Level 2 Tiger Beastmen, but this did not shake their morale in the slightest.
In any other army, after all the leading officers were killed, they would have collapsed long ago, let alone be able to continue the attack without organization.
Their performance showed absolutely no fear or panic; they didn't even lose their formation.
If this boundless courage stems from their race's inherent hatred for wizards, enabling them to disregard class differences and launch valiant attacks even at the cost of their lives, then such courage is precious and is one of the reasons for a race's survival and propagation.
