Leo was very familiar with his current state. Back when he was an apprentice and his physical abilities were passively improved by Gru's teachings in harsh environments, his consciousness would go to the deepest part of his memory every time his body pushed to its limit.
This is a self-protection mechanism. Once triggered, it means the body has entered a near-death stage, but as long as consciousness is regained, there is a high probability that the person will not die.
"It's been ten days," Yaoyao.
Is he still there?
"After you were blown to pieces, he left, and we don't know where he went."
"In these ten days, haven't any other wizards come to check on the situation? Where are the Guardian Wizard?"
"No, not a single wizard has come," Yao Yao Yaoyao.
Leo remained silent, pondering the entire incident. The Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard had suddenly descended, killed tens of thousands of wizards, and brought out the entire slave army. Such blatant actions, yet only a Level 3 Guardian Wizard appeared at the time.
Such a big thing has happened, and now the Guardian Wizard hasn't been seen for Heavenly Capital straight.
This isn't because the Guardian Wizard are slow to react, nor is it because Guardian Wizard are inactive; it's clear that the Guardian Wizard are being held back.
In other words, besides the Purple Flame Academy, even greater disasters broke out in other places, forcing the Guardian Wizard to abandon the Purple Flame Academy and go to deal with other areas.
The fact that no Guardian Wizard has ventured out for ten consecutive Heavenly Capital suggests that the disasters erupting elsewhere are beyond imagination.
Leo smiled coldly. He didn't want the disaster to be small; he wanted it to be as big as possible.
The greater the disaster, the more people die, and the more likely it is to find traces of the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard.
Leo's biggest fear was that the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard would kill tens of thousands of wizards and then simply disappear, leaving him nowhere to seek revenge.
revenge...
Revenge is imperative.
Level 2 is not acceptable.
Then let's upgrade to the next level.
"Have Alice and Benji's bodies been properly disposed of?"
Only when Alice and Benji were mentioned did Leo's tone carry a trace of warmth, but this warmth was enveloped by endless sorrow and an unyielding desire for revenge.
Even though Leo is currently just a consciousness, his voice still trembled uncontrollably when he spoke Alice's name.
"I've kept it."
"That's good. I'll wake up in a few minutes. Don't be surprised if you see anything, and don't record it. Just pretend you didn't see anything."
Leo's eyes flashed with determination; he was willing to pay any price for revenge.
"You wouldn't be going to..." Yaoyao guessed Leo's thoughts, her shocked voice filling the entire dark world of consciousness.
"Are there any other ways besides this?" Leo asked coldly.
"All right..."
Yaoyao silent. He could see that Leo was completely consumed by hatred, and that he was on the verge of madness in his quest for revenge.
They even resorted to such blatantly irregular methods, willing to cross the line of the Wizard Will in their pursuit of revenge.
But Yaoyao didn't stop Leo. This was something he couldn't stop anymore. He could only hope that Leo would regain his senses and realize what he was doing.
Wizard World, Purple Flame Wizard Academy
The once prestigious academy is now devoid of life.
The remaining tens of thousands of wizards and millions of slaves, along with the lingering aura of the Stigmata Wizard, made this place a forbidden zone for wild beasts; not a single beast dared to even glance at it.
Any sentient being would keep its distance from this place due to the oppressive atmosphere.
Outside the academy, on a patch of scorched earth, a corpse still bearing charred marks suddenly jolted, shattering its dead skin, and sat up abruptly.
This was Leo, in his Thunderstorm Giant form, was carrying over fifty atomic bombs and determined to perish together with the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard!!!
He never expected to kill the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard with more than fifty atomic bombs that day; all he wanted to do was to give Alice a chance to escape.
Leo opened his eyes and looked around. There was nothing there. Within his perception range, there wasn't a single living being; they were all dead.
A feeling of weakness washed over me; all my energy had been completely depleted.
Looking at his limbs, Leo understood why Yaoyao had said his body had only recovered 80%.
Of the four limbs, only the left arm returned to the palm position, and the right leg returned to the knee position.
His right arm and left leg have not yet recovered.
Countless tiny granulation tissues were weakly pulsating at the severed limbs, constantly intertwining and trying to return to their original state, but lacking the energy to support the body's recovery.
Leo reached out and grabbed the Godslaying Staff, which had been blasted away to who-knows-where, and it returned to his hand.
Streams of magical power surged from the Godslaying Staff, supplying the body to allow it to recover rapidly.
With the replenishment of magic power, the recovery speed was completely different. The small granulation tissue at the cut surface surged wildly, restoring the limbs piece by piece.
In less than half an hour, Leo's body had fully recovered and was no different from before.
Leo tore open the Shadow Space and looked at Benji and Alice inside.
My heart is filled with endless anguish.
To give them a chance to escape, Benji fought against the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard with his own level three strength...
Leo didn't even see how he sacrificed himself.
Benji's body was covered in charred patches of fur, and in some places the fur had been burned through to reveal the bones and internal organs inside.
After the initial breakout phase, Benji was severely injured by the endless army of Fire Elemental Spirit. Even without the final Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard, Benji had no chance of breaking through.
When Benji was finally holding on to buy Leo a chance to escape, he was already at his last gasp. Looking at Benji's empty body, it was clear that not only had his body suffered unimaginable damage, but his soul had also vanished.
Leo gently stroked Benji's body. Benji was indeed his battle comrade-in-arms, fighting to the very last moment.
"Rest in peace. I will take good care of your Gulu Beast Clan."
Benji earned Leo's respect with his life.
Beside Benji's corpse lay Alice, who resembled Sleeping Beauty. Leo deliberately avoided Alice's body, as if trying to convince himself that Alice was not dead.
But the facts cannot be changed by Leo; dead is dead.
They carefully carried Alice out; Alice was lifeless, as if she were asleep.
More than once, he and Alice would deliberately tease each other while the other was asleep, determined to wake the other up.
But now everything is gone.
No matter how much Leo teased Alice, Alice wouldn't open her eyes and punch Leo a few times to vent her anger.
Even at the very moment of her death, Alice's face showed no fear of death, only an overwhelming sadness.
Leo knew that the sorrow Alice left behind stemmed from not spending her life with him...
"Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you. Whether it's the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard or the person behind it, I will find them all and kill them."
"No matter who he is, or what rank he holds, I will destroy his world and kill all his lives to pay for it."
"Don't worry, I'll do everything I can to save you. Our lives must go on, and I won't let you abandon me."
"Just take a nap now, and you'll see me when you wake up."
Leo wiped Alice's dusty face.
After wiping it several times, Leo finally couldn't hold back and cried bitterly while holding Alice's body.
On the lifeless, scorched earth, only desperate cries of anguish could be heard!
He can deceive himself a hundred times, a thousand times, but Alice will never wake up...
"You must wait for me, I will definitely find a way to save your life."
Leo stopped crying after a few sobs. Now was not the time to be sad. Rather than sitting here crying helplessly, she should seize the time to avenge Alice.
Tears are the groans of the weak, the most useless thing.
No one will sympathize with you more because of your tears.
As the hand brushed across Alice's body, a thick layer of ice crystals appeared on Alice skin; the extremely low temperature would prevent Alice's body from decomposing.
At the same time, with a casual wave of his hand, he froze Benji's body as well.
Looking at Alice frozen in ice, Leo closed the Shadow Space.
Are you really sure?
As Leo closed the Shadow Space, Yaoyao appeared on Leo's shoulder and asked worriedly.
Do I still need to think about it?
Leo gave Yaoyao a bitter smile. Ten days ago, he lost his best fighting partner and the lover he had promised to spend his life with. He almost died himself. What else was there to consider?
Leo strode into the academy, where the ground was littered with the corpses of wizards, some still in a bowing posture, and very few wizards raising their staffs.
The state of these wizards' corpses after their deaths shows that they died before they had a chance to resist.
The identity of the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard was too deceptive; these wizards would never have imagined that a Stigmata Wizard would attack them.
Leo Godslaying Staff repeatedly, and countless transparent hands grabbed the corpses and followed behind Leo.
As Leo ventured deeper into the academy, the number of corpses behind him had exceeded several thousand.
Looking at the tallest tower in the academy before him, Leo let out a long breath, suppressed the sorrow in his heart, and flew towards the top floor.
Because of his relationship with Alice, his status as a member of the academy (though not strictly academy alumni), and the added advantage of his wizard's badge,
Therefore, many places are open to Leo and do not prevent him from entering.
Like the energy pool at the top of a tall tower!
The energy pool is one of the forbidden areas of the academy, and only a handful of people in the entire academy are authorized to enter it.
However, Alexander intended to befriend Leo, so after Leo expressed his interest in the energy pool, she brought Leo there once.
From Alexander's perspective, if simply looking at the energy pool could lead to Leo's surrender, it would be an incredibly profitable deal with no initial investment.
This thing won't break if you look at it, and you won't lose it if you look at it; Leo can look at it however he wants.
Leo's strength and status are more than enough for him to demonstrate his sincerity!
