• As the tournament entered its final year, Leo modified an atomic bomb with wizard runes and an energy crystal, then he and Alice prepared to face thousands of apprentices surrounding their cave.

After winning the tournament and advancing through Hunter bloodline refinement, Leo agreed to help the Wizard World invade Jeft World.
