Timeless Assassin

Chapter 1130: Come If You Dare

(Meanwhile, within the Fourth Dimension, Leo’s POV)

Leo waited patiently for Veyr to drag Yu Kiro inside the fourth dimension, as this plane offered him advantages that the third dimension never could.

The first advantage was secrecy, as the fourth dimension was completely insulated from the prying eyes of other Gods, which meant that while a battle in the third dimension could be observed or inferred through divine perception, anything that happened here remained beyond their reach.

Within this space, once Yu Kiro entered fully, even confirming his presence became impossible, as whether he was killed, still alive and fighting, or lost forever within a bottomless void, became impossible to infer from the outside.

That ambiguity granted Leo exactly what he wanted, as anonymity and plausible deniability became natural advantages of this battlefield, allowing him to act here without the fear or revealing his new special move to the rest of the universe.

As if Yu Kiro died here today, the suspicion would first fall towards the mysterious General Sparrow, and not towards him.

The second advantage was power, as the concentration of divine essence flowing through the fourth dimension was far denser than the third, which meant every movement, every technique, and every execution here carried far greater lethality than it did out there.

So for Leo, who intended to use [The Boss’s Execution], this environment was ideal, because the technique demanded precision, control, and energy alignment that could be achieved far more reliably within this richer field of essence.

The final advantage was instability, as temporal distortions and spatial anomalies were far more common within the fourth dimension than they were in the third, creating a battlefield that continuously shifted in ways most fighters would find disorienting and difficult to navigate.

However, for Leo, those irregularities were advantages rather than obstacles, as he had already studied their behavior and understood how to incorporate them into his movements, turning chaos itself into a weapon under his control.

And hence, because of all these factors, he had given Veyr one very specific instruction before the battle began.... Which was to drag the Yu Clan God into the fourth dimension as quickly as he could, and that too with precise execution.

As the only way for them to meet in the Fourth Dimension reliably, was if, Veyr opened a portal at precisely 55.5 degrees.

As otherwise, even though they were both in the fourth dimension, they could be millions of miles away from one another.

Thankfully, that was exactly what Veyr did, as only a few minutes after Leo began waiting for Yu Kiro to appear, Veyr dragged the God exactly where Leo wanted, as the Dragon executed his duty to perfection.

*FWOOSH*

A fourth Dimensional Portal opened before Leo, through which Veyr fell first, followed by Yu Kiro next.

As almost as soon as the God appeared, his eyes widened in surprise, as he paused his pursuit of Veyr, and pointed his spear towards Leo instead.

*SWOOSH*

Yu Kiro’s senses went on high alert, as he made eye contact with Leo and said....

"You..... You’re Leo Skyshard! The damned monster Soron raised, and the new Cult Master of the Evil Cult!

What are you doing here?

And how are you a Demi God as well?"

Yu Kiro asked, as he looked visibly stunned at the sight before him, because the realization that the Cult now possessed two Demi Gods at once did not align with anything he believed to be possible under the current order.

"What is this? An ambush of some sort?

Do you think that just because there are two of you now you can pressure me into submission?

Boy, let me make one thing very clear before you misunderstand the situation....." Yu Kiro said, his tone carrying both irritation and cold amusement as he steadied his spear.

"I have walked battlefields you cannot even comprehend yet, and long before either of you reached this realm, I once fought five Demi Gods alone when I was still ascending, and I walked away from that encounter alive without a single lasting wound," Yu Kiro continued, as his voice deepened with the weight of experience while his aura pulsed steadily around him.

For a brief moment, the fourth dimension seemed to still around his presence, as the memory he spoke of carried enough conviction to distort the atmosphere slightly, reinforcing that his words were not empty arrogance but lived reality.

Leo listened without interruption, as his expression remained unreadable for a moment before a slow smile spread across his face while he raised his hands and began clapping lightly.

*Clap*

*Clap*

*Clap*

"Well that is quite the achievement," Leo said, as he turned his head slightly toward Veyr with an exaggerated look of admiration that carried a clear hint of mockery beneath it.

"General Sparrow, did you hear that, he fought FIVE Demi Gods and escaped alive while he was at the same tier.... That is quite the tale, isn’t it?

Should we start fawning over him?" Leo continued, as his tone remained casual while his eyes gleamed with amusement.

"You were there on The Pit when I fought those Monarchs, weren’t you General Sparrow?

So tell me something....

How many did I kill alone while being at the Monarch stage?" Leo asked, as he tilted his head slightly while waiting for the answer.

Veyr pretended to think for a moment, as though carefully recalling the event, before responding in a calm and matter of fact tone that carried no hesitation.

"Thousands, Cult Master, you killed thousands alone," Veyr said, as his lips curved faintly while he delivered the number with quiet satisfaction.

A sharp grin spread across Leo’s face at that response, as he turned his gaze back toward Yu Kiro with an expression that no longer bothered to hide its provocation.

"You heard him, I killed thousands, so you might want to think carefully about who you are talking to before you start throwing around your old war stories like they mean something here," Leo said, as his voice carried a casual confidence that bordered on complete disregard.

"To me, your accomplishments are nothing more than warm up acts that I can perform in my sleep, so if you are trying to intimidate us, then you are wasting your time," he added, as his eyes sharpened slightly while the air around him grew subtly heavier.

Without breaking eye contact, Leo reached into his inventory and pulled out two ordinary daggers, as the blades appeared unremarkable at first glance, yet the way he held them made it clear they were extensions of his intent.

He shifted into a relaxed yet precise battle stance, as his posture settled into something deceptively loose while every muscle aligned for immediate movement the moment the fight began.

"Stop yapping, old man, if you want to fight then fight, and if you want to prove your superiority then do it with your spear instead of your mouth," Leo said, as his tone dropped into something colder while his gaze locked onto Yu Kiro completely.

"There is no need to waste breath on us, because if you truly believe you can take us both down at once, then come forward and show us," he continued, as a faint smirk returned to his lips.

"Let’s see whether you can actually do it, or whether two so-called upstart Demi Gods are enough to send you back wondering where it all went wrong," Leo finished, as his aura flared to its peak around him, as he braced for battle.
