Chapter 192: Awakening!

Leo’s gaze was serious; the Sword Prison Annihilation Blade could be said to be the most effective means of attack at that moment.

The Heart Intent Slash and Heart Following Slash were strong, but if the angle of attack was not tricky enough, they could easily be dodged. So despite their tremendous power and the terrifying destructive effects around, the actual injuries inflicted on Beruhak were minimal.

Leo focused his mind; rather than saying the power of the ultimate techniques was strong, it was more accurate to say he still could not use these two ultimate techniques at will, causing excess power to leak out.

In his imagination, every sword strike, regardless of the attack range, carried the power of the Heart Intent flow.

His mind was clear, and a thought flashed through, gradually becoming clear.

Concentrating the world-destroying power of the ultimate techniques onto the sword, not allowing a single bit of power to leak out, and only causing destruction to the target, would make the power of such a slash extremely terrifying.

If successful, his swordsmanship would have no distinction of ultimate techniques; every strike would be an ultimate technique, and ordinary slashes would transform into ultimate slashes.

On the opposite side, Beruhak felt the aura around Leo becoming sharper and sensed something was wrong. No matter what he was about to do, he had to stop him.

“Who gave you the confidence and courage to break through on the battlefield?”

The terrifying face wore a sinister smile; now that Leo was motionless, it provided him with an opportunity.

Just as Beruhak was one meter away from Leo, Leo suddenly moved, gripping the Asawakh sword tightly and slashing towards his body.

It was just a light slash, clearly without threat, yet Beruhak felt a tremendous danger and immediately retreated, but his chest was still grazed by the sword tip, leaving a deep wound visible to the bone.

That was a strike realized to the extreme, condensing all the power of the ultimate techniques; anything that stood in front would be cut through.

Leo smiled, “Continue!”

He immersed himself in it, the Asawakh trembling in his hand, the sword intent and sword energy coalescing on the blade, its surface seemingly covered with a layer of white transparent film, releasing a faint glow.

Beruhak dared not clash head-on, fully avoiding the sharp blade in Leo’s hand. But he still could not escape being scratched, accumulating more bloodstains on his body.

Under the power granted by the Demon King, his injuries gradually healed, but the Demon King’s power could not withstand such waste; it would eventually be exhausted.

Beruhak’s expression turned frenzied and bloodthirsty; this guy possessed such terrifying talent and power at this age, even a hero was nothing compared to this. He had to kill him and clear the obstacles for His Majesty the Demon King; otherwise, there would never be such a good opportunity again.

His aura swelled again, a black-red power intertwining, breaking through the clouds, dyeing the nearby sky pitch black and filled with a strange bloodiness.

Leo erupted with all his strength, firmly believing that the sword in his hand was a blade that could cut through all obstacles, continuously swinging it.

The two continued their fierce battle, both sustaining wounds yet remaining undeterred, their gazes resolute; only by completely defeating each other could this battle come to an end.

As the battle reached its climax, the ground was covered in cracks, and traces of raging energy were everywhere. Beruhak gasped heavily, “I didn’t expect you could push me to this extent, but it ends here.”

He took out a pitch-black metal sphere, covered in mysterious patterns, and threw it directly.

Boom!

The metal sphere erupted with blinding white light, the brilliance instantly spreading and engulfing everything, destroying the earth and obliterating all in the space.

In the final light of annihilation, Beruhak laughed maniacally, “This is the strongest strike from His Majesty the Demon King; no one but the demon race can survive such an attack. Die!”

Just as he said, everything around was annihilated, the light continued to spread, devouring the nearby mountains, earth, lakes, and forests, encompassing dozens of kilometers.

Leo continuously used Sword Shadow Clones, yet the destructive light behind him kept closing in.

As the white light approached, he used the Sword Prison Annihilation Blade to separate his own space, attempting to defend with it.

In an instant, the white light engulfed him, a terrifying power permeating the Sword Prison Annihilation Blade; even using the Sword Barrier again could not penetrate the defense, tearing at his skin.

Leo was drenched in cold sweat, concentrating all his magic power on his surface to withstand this force while continuously using healing skills. His surface was being torn apart and healed under the healing skills, repeating this cycle; Leo felt as if he were in purgatory, with bone-chilling pain radiating from all over his body.

After a quarter of an hour, the light outside finally dissipated, and Leo’s body reached its limit, collapsing to the ground.

“Surprisingly, I am still not dead!”

Beruhak showed a look of surprise, then with a cruel smile said, “Not dead is just right; I will make you wish you were dead.”

Little did he know, under his shocked gaze, Leo slowly got up from the ground, a layer of crystalline light appearing on his body, his injuries healing at a visible speed, instantly returning to normal.

This was the secret divine skill granted to him by Vernia; after much consideration, Leo decided to choose healing skills, not expecting to use it now.

Instant Healing (Secret Divine Skill): As long as it is not a life-threatening severe injury, it can be restored in an instant, and both magic power and spirit will also recover to their peak.

The effect was strong, equivalent to having two lives, but it could only be used once a day, with the next use requiring a twenty-four-hour interval.

Leo calmly dusted off his clothes, looking at Beruhak with mockery, “The Demon King’s full-power strike is nothing like this; it seems your Demon King has not yet reached his peak. Aren’t you afraid of being cut down again?”

“Seeking death!” Beruhak’s expression turned fierce, ready to strike.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning split the heavens and the earth, the winding thunder breaking free from the sky’s constraints and crashing down, the ground rumbling. Leo was struck by the thunder and appeared in an unknown space.

“What is happening? Is this Beruhak’s attack magic? It doesn’t look like it.”

The change was too sudden; Leo surveyed his surroundings, which were all a white expanse, unable to see clearly.

“Wait, this seems to be my inner self.”

At that moment, a golden light like a ribbon traversed the air, swirling for a while before two golden characters appeared in the sky ahead.

“Sword Saint?!” Leo’s eyes widened in surprise, somewhat realizing, “I am the Sword Saint?!”

He chuckled lightly, “If I am the Sword Saint; then what is Yuris? For me, it doesn’t matter whether I am the Sword Saint or not; I don’t need it.”

The words “Sword Saint” dissipated, and the light gathered again, merging into a mass, transforming into new characters appearing before him.

“Mind Sword Saint, what is the difference from the Sword Saint? If I don’t accept, what profession will I turn into next?”

Leo immediately became curious, “If I want to be a hero, will you give it to me?”

He saw the large characters in mid-air tremble slightly; if it had consciousness, perhaps Leo appeared to it as a mischievous child.

“Accept.”

In the next moment, golden light surged into Leo’s body, his consciousness leaving this space and returning to his body, the golden light enveloping him entirely, while a transformation was occurring within him, reaching an extreme sublimation, his aura steadily rising.
