Chapter 425: You are the monster
Chapter 425: You are the monster
"I don’t understand... you were in front of my eyes all the time and I was tracking all of your movements, then how did you change places with a decoy ?
And how come you have a such a powerful stealth spell that even I didn’t felt your presence." Gorgonia asked with a smile.
’I knew when I saw that bird that she knows I am coming yet she didn’t do anything attempts to stop me that only leads to once conclusion.
She wanted me to come and that’s when I switched places with Vane and gave him an invisibility potion that I bought from the black market. Once someone drinks it, the invisibility gets triggered and remains until they are revealed by an outer force.
I thought I would get her with one swift attack but that fucking statue, damn it.’ Leon thought with a serious expression.
"I don’t understand, why are you even trying to prove that you are the most intelligent monster ? You are nothing." Leon spoke with a neutral expression as he looked at her.
Suddenly, Gorgonia’s smile dissapeared and an angry expression appeared over her face.
"YOU THINK YOU ARE BETTER THAN ME !!!????? YOU MURDERED YOUR OWN KIND IN FRONT OF MY EYES WITHOUT EVEN BLINKING ONCE. YOU FLEW AWAY FROM THE BATTLE WHEN YOU THOUGHT YOU COULDN’T WIN AND YOU ATTACKED ME FROM BEHIND RIGHT NOW LIKE A COWARD KILLING MY MOST PRECIOUS STATUE.
I AM NOT A MONSTER, YOU ARE THE MONSTER." She shouted loudly as she pointed towards Leon.
’Well, well, well Looks like I have struck a very painful nerve inside her mind with the ’Monster’ statement.’ Leon thought as a smile appeared over his face.
"No actually you are the monster, I am not the one with three faces and curses that can turn anyone into statues. Did you even have friends growing up ?" Leon asked with a mocking smile.
"Y-YOU !!!! KILL HIM, NOWWWWW !!!!" Gorgonia shouted as she pointed towards Leon.
Out of four statues, two ran towards Leon immediately while the other two stayed by Gorgonia’s side in order to protect her.
*Step-Step-Step-Step-Step-Step-Step*
Leon kept his eyes closed but his ears heard the sounds of the steps and without wasting another second, he assumed an offensive stance instead of a defensive stance.
"Don’t think I can’t see you Leon Luster. You have two eyes both of them closed, I have millions all open." Gorgonia spoke with a neutral expression.
"That’s the difference between you and me... I don’t need eyes to fight." Leon spoke as he immediately left his stance and stood up straight, open to all attacks.
*Swing*
Both of the statues raised their hands in order to grab him but just as their hands were about to touch him, an invisible force pulled his body from multiple points at once, dodging all the incoming grabbing attempts.
*Swish-Swish-Swish-Swish-Swish-Swish*
Leon’s body flowed in between the statues as if he was nothing but water flowing in between rocks.
"What the-!?" Gorgonia noticed this and she immediately shifted more of her focus onto the statues that were trying to grab Leon.
....
Meanwhile outside the Grundum kingdom’s borders,
*CLANK-CLANK-CLANK-CLANK-CLANK-CLANK-CLANK-CLANK-CLANK*
Frenir struggled as he fought the stone statues but Arthur on the other side slaughtered them without wasting any time.
’What the hell is wrong with him !? Doesn’t he hold any compassion in his heart for these people ? They were human once. Killing them so brutally...’ Frenir thought as he looked at Arthur with a serious expression.
Suddenly a statue came charging at him with his broad Sword.
*Swing*
The statue swinged the sword and Frenir immediately raised his sword in order to deflect it, but the sword’s didn’t meet as he missed and striked the ground instead.
*Thud*
"What the-" Frenir immediately saw the opportunity as he raised his sword and decapitated the statue at once.
*Thud*
As soon as his head fell to the ground, it returned back to it’s human form.
"I am sorry." Frenir spoke as he apologized to the dead and turned his head around.
But as soon as he looked around, he noticed something strange. The statues were acting odd, missing attacks, running straight into soldiers and falling down to simple traps.
It was as if they have become dumber all of a sudden.
"Arthur... Are you seeing this ?" Frenir asked as he walked closer to Arthur.
"The statues are behaving stupid, I know. Kill them fast this is the moment." Arthur spoke as he kept killing without wasting another second.
"This can also be a trap, we should retreat and focus on-"
"No, No, No... this is not the time to retreat. You don’t retreat when your enemy makes mistake, you punish it by going in." Arthur spoke without turned around as the killing frenzy took over him and he started performing large attacks with the Ex-calibur.
’Arthur, you are pushing both of us too much. Don’t you know what will happen to us if you if you kept pushing your body like that ?’ Ex-calibur’s voice resounded in Arthur’s brain.
"I don’t care, I haven’t felt this power in so long." Arthur spoke as he ignored her warning completely and kept on killing.
...
Back at the vervain forest, inside the cave...
*Swing-Swing-Swing-Swing-Swing*
The statues swinged their punches at Leon with full speed but none of them successfully landed a hit as <mana threads> and <sixth sense> kept pulling him out of their way.
*THUD*
*BOOOOOOM*
Suddenly one of the statue hitted the other one by mistake and completely destroyed it’s head rendering him motionless as it fell down.
*THUD*
"I am coming for you, monster lady." Leon spoke with a mocking smile as he slowly walked towards Gorgonia, holding his sword in hand.
"FUCKKKKKK, You two go as well." Gorgonia commanded the two statues that protected her.
The statues walked forward without wasting another second and started throwing punches at Leon just like the other statue, but failed miserably.
"AGHHHHHH... FUCK THIS." Gorgonia shouted in an annoyed voice as she pulled all of her focus together in just three statues, rendering all the other statues completely motionless.
