Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

Seeing that Leon was gaining the upper hand by "cheating", he was getting smoother and smoother in the fight, using his agile body to jump up and down on the bone dragon like a flea.

Lynn couldn't stand his smugness, so she waved her hand, and the Demon Eye emerged from the clouds.

The enormous eyeball rotated, its pupil aimed at Leon, and a psychic ray shot down silently.

Leon sensed danger and dodged to the side, but not completely.

The ray grazed his shoulder, causing a sudden numbness that instantly made him lose consciousness, leaving his mind blank for a moment.

This is fatal in combat.

The bone dragon didn't let the opportunity pass and slammed its claws down hard.

At the critical moment, a large amount of black and red mist surged from Lyon's body, blocking the attack for him.

Lyon grunted and took a few steps back.

The demonic eye didn't stop; a second ray shot down, then a third, then a fourth...

Leon rolled on the ground, dodging the rays.

His speed is fast, but his rays are even faster.

After all, he was a peak-level being in the third ring, stronger than Bone Dragon and Leon, and his signature moves were incredibly smooth.

Leon was shot several times, and each time he felt his soul tremble and his body go numb.

Meanwhile, the Bone Dragon took advantage of Leon's "stiff" state to launch a fierce attack.

But each time the rays and the bone dragon attacked, they only hit insignificant parts of his body, never striking his vitals, as if they were deliberately avoiding him.

Leon stood up, looking at the demonic eye in the sky and then at the bone dragon on the ground.

He couldn't possibly defeat two powerful gods, one of whom was at his peak.

Fortunately, the power of the world was still flowing into him, more and more, faster and faster...

He could feel himself getting stronger, getting stronger every second!

The power of those god remains was also merging with his flesh and blood, making his body harder and stronger.

The cracks on his skin began to heal, but what remained after healing was not smooth skin, but black lines.

The lines crawled like snakes all over his body, from his arms to his shoulders, from his shoulders to his chest, and from his chest to his face.

Half of his face was covered by black lines, like a broken mask.

The bone dragon charged again.

Leon didn't dodge; he went forward and slashed at the bone dragon's head with his sword.

The bone dragon tilted its head slightly, but didn't stop; it rammed its head into Leon, sending him flying.

Lyon adjusted his posture in mid-air and landed firmly.

The Demon Eye fired another ray, this time not in a straight line, but in a fan shape. Leon couldn't dodge it and was hit by the ray.

His body stiffened for a moment, his consciousness blurred for a split second, as if his soul had left his body.

The voices of the gods came again, and they were even noisier.

"You must protect everyone."

"Kill them all!"

"Bear the consequences."

"To flood the entire world!"

"Fly higher."

"Punish evil."

"Saving lives."

"Charge! Kill!"

Leon held his head and knelt on the ground.

It was as if a hundred people were speaking in his head at the same time, their voices growing louder and faster, like a swarm of flies buzzing in his ear.

He couldn't distinguish which thoughts were his own and which were the thoughts of those gods.

His consciousness began to blur, as if shrouded in a thick fog.

Just as he was about to succumb to despair, a voice pierced through the chaos, like a ray of light shining into the darkness.

"Leon!"

Sophia stood at the temple entrance, broke free from Lynn's grasp, and ran towards Lyon.

Lynn did not stop her.

"Leon!" Sofia knelt before him, cupping his face in her hands. "Look at me! Look at me!"

Lyon's eyes gleamed between gold and black as he looked at Sophia, his lips trembling.

"Sofia...Sofia..."

"It's me!" Sofia cried, tears streaming down her face. "I'm here! Wake up! Wake up!"

"I...I can't hear clearly...there are so many voices...they're all talking...it's so noisy..."

"Don't listen to them! Listen to me!" Sofia cupped his face in her hands, her forehead touching his.

"Do you remember? The first time we met, in the ruins of the Temple of Wisdom."

"You helped me move the stones that hit me, and your hands were scraped and bleeding a lot. I asked you if it hurt, and you said it didn't, and you even smiled at me."

Leon's eyes flickered.

"Do you remember? That night on the roof of the administration building, you looked at the stars and said you wanted to save the world."

"I said I believe you, and you said you don't believe in God, you only believe in yourself. I said I believe you."

The dark lines in Leon's eyes began to fade.

"Do you remember? You said you would take me to see the sea. I've never seen the sea before. You said you would take me after the plague was over. You promised me, and you can't break your promise."

The black lines in Leon's eyes completely faded, and the golden light shone again.

The chaotic sounds gradually faded away, like the tide receding.

His consciousness cleared, and he knew who he was, where he was, and who the person in front of him was.

"Sophia..." His voice trembled.

"it's me."

Leon hugged her tightly, and Sofia hugged him back, tears dripping onto his shoulder.

The two people knelt in the ruins, embracing each other like two drowning people grabbing for each other.

Lynn stood at the temple entrance, watching this "deeply moving" scene.

Tsk... How did I end up looking like a villain?

According to the script, is Leon supposed to rush up and kill him the next second while shouting something like "love, bonds"?

Or... take advantage of this opportunity to strike first and wipe them out instantly?

Lynn carefully considered the feasibility, while the Bone Dragon and the Demon Eye stopped, hovering in mid-air, waiting for his command.

Lynn didn't quite believe that Leon could defeat him so easily.

To defeat me instantly, one must at least be a "God King," and even then, a seasoned God King who has been immersed in the game for a long time.

Even if Lyon absorbs all the power of the world and merges the negative emotions and divine power of the gods, Lynn is confident that he can interrupt him before he ascends to the God King level.

What a joke! Could the protagonist you "raised" possibly turn on you?

Lyon released Sofia and stood up.

He picked up the sword from the ground; the rust on the blade was peeling off, revealing the metal underneath.

The silver-white blade was extremely bright.

The wings on the sword hilt have grown back, and golden wings of freedom are unfolding.

The cloth strip on the sword hilt was blown away by the wind, revealing a line of small characters engraved underneath: "Free will, indomitable spirit."

Lyon gripped his sword and looked at Lynn.

"Thank you," he said.

Lynn raised an eyebrow.

"Thank me? Are you crazy?"

"Thank you for bringing me to my senses," Leon said. "Thank you for letting me know what's most important to me."

Lynn laughed. "It's no use saying nice things; I won't be fooled by your sweet talk."

Leon gripped his sword tightly. "As a token of my gratitude, I will kill you with my own hands!"

Lynn was speechless.

"Can I refuse? I don't need your thanks!"

Leon ignored Lynn's complaints, gripped "Free Will" tightly, and charged straight at her.

This time, he was faster and stronger!
