Chapter 102: Enough of slow life

Following his heart and the urgent cries, Leon guided his party to the unicorn's side.

When he landed on the ground, destroying a few trees during his fall, Leon noticed Arthur and his party trying their best to save the unicorn. The red-haired man burned his muscles, creating a lot of heat around himself, turning it into his raw and offensive power and an illusion.

However, he didn't need any tricks right now as the mass of flesh had devoured the unicorn. He could only see the unicorn's head and his horn.

Other than that, the unicorn was simply gone in the mass of flesh. As Arthur and his party barreled skills and punched at the mass of flesh, Leon and the unicorn exchanged eye contact.

Leon's heart shook, and he felt a pain he had never felt before. It was a regret and more, as though he was losing his best friend before his eyes. Those feelings pushed him to reveal his real power.

Leon's chains slipped away from him and made a circle. He also cast his water enchantment skill on it, and red claws lined up across the chains. He wanted to use the best and strongest combination to destroy that mass of flesh!

At the same time, Alexandra parted her lips and summoned her dragon's roar. Celes had already forced the black threads out and mixed them with her own bloody threads, wanting to go for even more power than she had before!

But before these three could unleash their powers, the unicorn cried and did his best to leave the mass of flesh. His eyes glimmered with hope and happiness, yet his body was far from fine. His thrashing caused the amalgamation of succubi to be even stronger, sucking him entirely into their mass of flesh.

Even while dying, the unicorn's eyes remained ecstatic. He died with a content heart.

"DEMON!"

Leon's scream was a call to use everything they had. His flamethrower went at the mass of flesh, splashing, then his chains climbed through the tongue flames, adding the water and vampire's elements. Alexandra's roar went next to her master's skill, and Celes' black-red bat flew closely on the other side, hurtling at the mass.

Arthur and his party also showered the mass with their skills.

"Shit! It's not enough!" Arthur cried, unable to take his eyes off the mass of flesh that had survived everyone's skills… He used his punches to strike so he was the closest to the monster.

Everyone's skills had only slightly dug through that mass of flesh. It'd take at least five of those moves to utterly kill the amalgamation, which sounded absurd!

Moreover, that thing kept moving, escaping to their queen!

"You aren't going anywhere!" Leon threw his chains and sank them in the opened wound.

Holding his weapon tightly, Leon swore to never let it go and use everything at his disposal to turn that monster into his card… When push came to shove, Leon would follow that monster to her queen! He was that much enraged and furious about the amalgamation's deed.

But then, something terrifying happened.

A black pillar rose on the horizon…

Alexandra, Celes, Arthur, and his party froze, unable to move…

"Master… Let that monster go! Don't go there! A high-level existence is coming here! We must run!" Celes cried out, hoping that her master would listen to her.

She was worried he wouldn't since he was in such a fury… But her feelings touched his heart, and Leon's chains let the monster go…

He stared at that mass of flesh running away for a few seconds… And then, Celes used her wings to bring her master away from the scene…

"A black pillar means that existence of much higher level has arrived… For a short moment, he can use all his skills and do whatever he wants in this low-level zone!" Alexandra explained while flying close to her master's side, who was silently listening to her in Celes' embrace. "In this land, you'll find only low-level monsters, so this is the world's measure to not let too strong existences cause too much chaos where they shouldn't."

Leon bit his lips and glared at the vast world. He was high in the skies, embraced by Celes, so he saw way more than usual. The horizon stretched beyond what he could see, and he knew that much more dangers awaited him on his route… But Leon was sure that this was the path he wanted to take.

He wanted a new class, more adventures, and help more slaves that had been hurt by The Human Emperor.

That path shouldn't have any connection to him, and yet, Leon felt like some mysteries were connected to him. Was it because he had a peak humanity body? It couldn't be just that…

Leon would love to learn more stuff and try out new things… He wanted to adventure, but he couldn't help but grow irritated by the mysteries related to him…

[You'll regret it if you don't take a second chance, Leon Blade.]

"How can the death of someone I have never seen before… leave me sorrowful and furious like that?" Leon asked the vampiress and his dragon maid, unaware of what had just happened in his heart.

Alexandra didn't have any clue.

Celes left a few theories. "No one really knows what those unicorns are… They always appear in the human kingdoms and empires as though looking out for someone… You see, Master… There are people born with special bodies like you. Maybe the unicorn was looking out for your body type… Perhaps, you possess means to control them… You might be their master."

"What about that pain, then?" Leon continued with his questions.

"It can be the unicorn's powers…." Celes didn't even believe her words.

That unicorn felt so accomplished when he noticed Leon… It was as though he had fulfilled his life mission and could rest in peace now…

"William said that The Human Emperor might be alive and hiding somewhere…." Leon recalled the knight's words…

"I have seen Irene Crownedge… She was his queen. I didn't have time to tell you that, but that woman seized the succubi and turned them into her pawns…." With an apologetic face, Celes quickly added.

"And we know that two peak humanities bodies can't be in one era… If he's alive…"

Alexandra, in fact, both of her, felt tense and scared of Leon's next words.

Celes also couldn't properly fly, and her wings froze a few times.

Leon took a few breaths to control his racing heart and closed his eyes. "Enough of slow life for now. I must speak with The Oracle. We'll use our wings to reach her temple as soon as possible. No breaks in between."

"Yes, Master." The vampiress and dragon maid replied in tandem.

Below them, Arthur and his party had been following them. However, because Celes sped up and disappeared within the dark clouds, Arthur utterly lost sight of Leon and his girls.

He stopped, glanced behind, then sighed with relief. "We're safe… But we can't chase them… I'll wait for him in the main guild!"

"Seems like you have taken a huge interest in him."

"He's so strong! And I feel like I can learn a lot from him! Let's head back and tell the news to seniors. Then, we'll have our well-deserved break!" Arthur grinned, with sweat beds shining on his face.

His girls gave him their faint but lovely smiles, too, their cheeks flaring up with adorable rosy patches.

Although Arthur was a newbie, his party was the same, and everyone was new to the outside world. Their relationship also progressed slowly, but no one held back now, for they had known each other since childhood.

Thus, when it came to Arthur and Leon, both newbies in the Freya World, Arthur at least had an edge in harem relationships.

But not for too long!
