Chapter 444 - A Beast In Human Skin?

"Don"t be rash, Young Master Judas! This person is not simple! Please tend to your injury first!" Elder Gustavo stopped Judas Cortez from blindly charging at the enemy before them.

"I know!" Young Master Judas said.

He took out a pill bottle from his Interspatial Storage before popping a pill from the bottle into his mouth. His wounds began to heal at a naked rate.

Leon"s pupils shrank at this sight.

At the same time, Elder Gustavo stepped in front of Young Master Judas, s.h.i.+elding him from any further attacks from the enemy before them.

Leon had been ready to follow-up on his attack, giving the person to quarters to rest. However, he froze upon hearing the person"s name.

Why did this person from the Cortez family have the same name as that person? Even son, it gave him another reason to dislike this person.

The Tier 4 Bone Spear flew upward with significant momentum, shooting into the distant skies before the increasing pressure of abnormal gravitational force brought it plunging back down.

Leon extended his divine senses, reclaiming the Tier 4 Bone Spear with Divine Will as soon as it fell into his range.

Seeing the bone spear flew into Leon"s grasp, Elder Gustavo"s eyes widened with surprise. What kind of Elemental Awakener was this? A Bone Awakener? Was there such a thing?

While Elder Gustavo and Young Master Judas were dumbfounded by Leon"s ability, he spun the bone spear in his hand and took a battle stance.

His eyes shortly brightened with a flick of indomitable spirit before he kicked the air and launched himself forward.

Elder Gustavo immediately had a solemn look.

He quickly flicked his wrist, summoning a sword and small gourd. The gourd was uncapped before black water flowed out, weaving around Elder Gustavo"s blade.

After that, he defended against Leon"s attack by shooting the black water out in a spiraling manner.

Leon used [Nine Echoes] and [Divine Will Augmentation], bursting forth with a strength of 200 thousand jins in his strike.

However, the black water was bizarre.

Under Elder Gustavo"s manipulation, the black water was like a whirlpool of countless snakes, wrapping around Leon"s bone spear and quickly draining away the force of his spear strike.

By the time Leon"s strike reached Elder Gustavo, the force of his attack was already reduced to a level that could be deflected with the elder"s sword.

At the same time, Elder Gustavo summoned another body of black water from the gourd, forming a Water Fist that struck Leon square on the chest and sent him flying back.

"Please wait, young friend! Everything was a misunderstanding! My young master had mistaken you for a Transcendent-level beast!" Elder Gustavo spoke.

If one look carefully, his sword hand was shaking slightly.

Although Elder Gustavo had dispelled most of the force, the remaining raw strength was still able to make his hand numb.

Young Master Judas was displeased immediately.

"There"s no misunderstanding, Elder Gustavo! He tried to kill me! And for that, he has to die for me!"

"No, Young Master Judas! That is because you attacked first!" Elder Gustavo roared, feeling deeply frustrated by the young master"s impulsiveness.

Without speaking further words, Young Master Judas had shot towards Leon. A gourd was summoned, and similar black water poured out from its uncapped lid, revolving around Young Master Judas" body like a layer of armor.

Another body of black water flowed to Young Master Judas" hand and formed a long black water lance that squirmed and vibrated at high frequency.

At the same time, Leon"s body came to a stop in midair some distance away after the Water Fist"s momentum was expended.

His inwards were slightly shaken, but he was fine otherwise.

"It seems I need to quickly consolidate my viscera… otherwise, it will become my weakness."

Leon"s pupil shrank slightly, feeling confused by his clash with Elder Gustavo. His strength was obviously greater, but his attack was still skillfully parried.

Obviously, these people were not simple and had some pretty impressive skills.

Nevertheless, he did not have time to ponder further. He gripped his bone spear tightly and lunged back at the approaching enemy.

Young Master Judas abruptly stopped and retreated with a frown after seeing Leon shuttling through the skies towards him with ease.

They were not deep within the sky suppression zone, but it was the sky suppression zone, nonetheless! How was this person able to move with such ease without any a.s.sisting equipment?!

Young Master Judas quickly threw his Blackwater Lance at Leon"s fast approaching figure before quickly conjuring a new one in its place.

The Blackwater Lance zipped through the air swiftly with a strange buzzing noise.

Leon"s eyes narrowed.

He lashed out with his bone spear without holding back. He did not dare to underestimate his enemy and used all his strength.

The powerful spear swing clashed with the Blackwater Lance and slapped it away. However, the Blackwater Lance did not break surprisingly under his strength.

Instead, only its trajectory was only changed as it flew away while emitting a droning noise.

Leon frowned before sweeping away the second Blackwater Lance.

A similar scene played out.

It was like being tossed into a raging river. His spear was able to make a splash before it was carried away by the river current.

If not for his firm grip, perhaps his weapon would have flown out of his hands.

"Stop fighting!"

"p.i.s.s off!"

Elder Gustavo attempted to get in between the fight, but he was swept aside by Leon"s bone spear. If not for his quick reaction to defend himself, he would have been cleaved in half.

"Who are you, young friend? Isn"t it better to put down the hatchet and befriend each other instead? Your strength is impressive for your age." Elder Gustavo said with a sigh, trying to persuade Leon.

However, Leon sneered, "You want to be my friend? That is fine. Just let me kill this mongrel first!"

Elder Gustavo"s expression stiffened immediately.

"There"s no use talking to this person! He wants to kill me, Elder Gustavo! Quickly help me kill him!" Young Master Judas urged, tossing out another two condensed Blackwater Lances.

Leon immediately swept them away.

However, he heard a droning noise from behind and quickly turned around. The previously thrown Blackwater Lances came zooming back towards him under Young Master Judas" control.

After the other two Blackwater Lances shot into the distance, they returned sometime later and pursued Leon like a homing projectile. In the end, Leon was repeatedly a.s.saulted by four Blackwater Lances.

No matter how many times he swept them away, they would come cras.h.i.+ng back after him. Leon furrowed deeply with frustration.

"What kind of water is this?"

At the same time, Elder Gustavo and Young Master Judas were shocked by Leon"s display of brute strength.

"Who the h.e.l.l are you, really? Are you sure you are not some beast in human skin?!" Young Master Judas interrogated.

"Who am I? How ridiculous! You came to my kingdom and a.s.saulted my father, the king of this kingdom, yet you still ask who I am?!"

Elder Gustavo was immediately stunned by Leon"s words.

Young Master Judas was considered a prodigy within the Geyser Kingdom"s younger generation.

Elder Gustavo did not expect the Crawford Kingdom would have someone who could compete with Young Master Judas on equal footing, much less the prince of the Crawford Kingdom.

Even so, was this person really the crown prince of the Crawford Kingdom? He looked like someone from the Ishaan Kingdom.

Did the queen have an affair?

If Leon and his parents knew the thoughts of Elder Gustavo, they would hunt him down to the ends of the earth.

"You"re the Crawford Kingdom"s crown prince? We have already apologized and given you compensation for the troubles we have caused. Why are you still coming after us?" Elder Gustavo asked with a frown.

Leon glanced at them coldly and sneered, "Do you think some compensation is enough to drop the matter? Do we look like beggars to you? You look down on us too much!"

"You"re the Crawford Kingdom"s crown prince? Who are you kidding! I would believe it if you said you were the prince of the Ishaan Kingdom instead!"

Leon turned his gaze to Young Master Judas and smiled coldly, saying nothing. It was a waste of breath explaining to a dead man.

While they exchanged words, they never stopped fighting.

Leon continued to deflect Young Master Judas" Blackwater Lances while Elder Gustavo watched from the side with a hesitant look. He could not stop them, but he could not help Young Master Judas kill the Crawford Kingdom"s crown prince either.

Why were these two going at each other"s necks like they were mortal enemies even though they just met? Were they destined to be rivals due to their high talents?

"Hmph!"

Young Master Judas snorted after being ignored. He conjured another two Blackwater Lances and targeted Leon with all six Blackwater Lances.

Leon furrowed his brows slightly while he was pushed back by the six Blackwater Lances. Even so, Judas was not finished.

Judas continued to conjure more and more Blackwater Lances, firing them at Leon one after the other. He was bent on killing the person before him.

Leon did not expect Early-stage Preliminary Accession Transcendents to give him so much trouble. He figured that no early Transcendents would be his match with his increased strength, but he was wrong.

The Geyser Kingdom was full of surprises. It was a place filled with experts.

Even so, he had not utilized everything.

"It seems I have to fight seriously." Leon thought.

Flames burst forth from Leon"s body before weaving around his bone spear and cloaked it in flame, augmenting the bone spear with the power of fire.

"Let"s go again!" Leon roared with an indomitable spirit.

On the side, Elder Gustavo"s expression immediately turned serious.
