Chapter 8:

I used Soul Sense to find Leon's house. When I arrived at his house, I hid on top of a tree, waiting for Leon. I waited for about 2 hours before Leon came out. He was draped in a cloak which hid his features. He then started sprinting in a direction.

He sprinted around 12 miles before he stopped and hid behind a tree. I spread my Soul Sense to see what he was hiding from.

There was a group of individuals, Dungeon Explorers taking the 1st floor test, camping together. I guess these people teamed up together when they found each other. There was roughly about 6 individuals.

Leon was staring intently at the individuals. They were all humans, which confused me. None of them were hybrids either. A blond man with nicely combed hair and wearing lavishly embroidered clothes, befitting that of a noble, seemed to be the leader of the group. In fact, all humans seemed to be from a noble family.

I sensed bloodlust, and turned to look at Leon. I felt a tingling sensation that things are going to get bad. Before I can do anything, Leon launched himself at the group. The group was caught off guard, and scrambled to get their weapons. Not allowing them to, Leon shot 6 black masses towards them. I'm assuming that the black masses are attacks created from the element of darkness.

The leader of the group seemed more composed than the others and encased his group in ice. The balls of darkness bore into the ice dome but couldn't make it past halfway. I think that the blonde used a lot of mana to create that dome of ice.

The ice dome slowly created a hole in the center from which lances made out of ice flew out. Flowing that, fireballs came out.

Then came the surprising part, Leon dodge or blocked all the attacks. The first few ice lances, he would either dodge or slap away with his tail, but the last ice spike, he used as a foothold to use to jump over the rest of the attacks.

A sword popped up in his hand, and it was covered in darkness, emitting a strong killing intent. I don't know how he brought that sword into the 1st floor, but I sure as heck want to know. The killing intent scared the group, and in a few moments Leon arrived besides them. Just as he was going to swing down his sword to end his life, I summoned an earth wall to defend them. I wasn't sure why he wanted to kill them, but I have to stop it. I'm not one of those hero's claiming to cleanse the world of evil, but if something bad is happening in front of me, I will at least try my best to stop it. A would without evil? That will be boring and almost nigh impossible. Everyone has their own wishes and greed, plus you might consider someone evil, but in turn that person might consider you evil. A perfect utopia without evil, never heard of it and probably never see one.

As I was thinking that, a quote from a Japanese web novel (Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari), appeared in my mind. " There are as many forms of justice as there are people in the world. One’s Justice is… always evil in another’s eye’s. My justice is the same. Because from the start, the opposite of Justice wasn’t evil. It was justice. Evil is merely the label for the loser’s justice. " (this is not my quote, so don't sue me.) This quote is true and is something both me and Luke believe in.

Shaking my head, I got out of my thoughts. Leon's slash broke the wall but stopped there. He looked confused, as did the others. The leader of the group broke out of his daze and threw something at the ground. The moment it hit the ground, a blinding light appeared, and by the time it disappeared, the group also disappeared.

Leon opened his eyes, and looked around. The moment he realized that the group escaped, he became angry and scream " WHICH BASTARD HELPED THEM!"

He started shooting balls of darkness at trees. One of them coincidently hit mine. I fell from the tree and landed on the ground. This alerted Leon, who quickly turned his head to face me. When he noticed me, his eyes opened wide.

He stared at me and said "Why."

Which I replied with " Why did you attack them?"

Leon didn't answer and attacked me. I summoned another wall to defend myself, before using Rock Spike. Leon destroyed it with his sword before jumping over the wall at me. I quickly roll to the side and shoot a Waterbullet at him. He swings his sword at me, but the bullet hits his hand. It loosens his grip on the sword, to which I used as an advantage. I repeatedly shot bullets at his hand. Eventually his sword fell out of his grip, and I used that moment to use Mana Howl.

It only causes him to cover his ears, and I use that moment to put the sword I looted from the Goblin Swordsman. When I was training in floor 0, I never used any weapons because I had my claws. My claws are my best weapons as they are strong and durable, get stronger with me and have the most connection with me. The reason I took the sword is because of the skill I gained from Luke. Since he was good at using blades, it will mean I will be good at them as well.

I say " Surrender."

Leon, takes his hands off his ears and smirks. I felt danger and brought my sword up to defend myself, Leon's tail smashes into my sword, sending it flying.

I run towards my sword and pick it up, Leon does the same. I can use my claws to fight him, but I want to learn how to use the sword as well. Leon charges me and swing at me with an overhand slash, but I parry it with a underhand slash. He then steps sideways, before charging me again. This time, his swords comes pointed straight at me chest, I do a sideways slash to knock it to the side.

My sword rebounds off, and Leon uses this slight fault in my moves to attack me with his tail. Not having enough time to block, I send a Wind Slash at his tail. His tail ducks under, but I kick it away. Leon then spreads his wings and flies into the air. Totally forgetting about the fact he can fly, I stay in a daze. Using this moment, he kicks me chest, which sends me flying into a tree. I slide off and Leon dives at me. I throw my sword at him, to which he swats away, but I bring out my claws and pounce at him. He tries to use his tail to stab me, but my tail curls around it, holding it firm and away from me.

I use Regulus's Snare, but Leon senses the danger and moves his right arm, the one holding the sword away. He then slams his other fist at me, but grab onto it and flip over him. I then grab his shoulders, and bring my face close to his ears, before using another Mana Roar, but this time including the soul aspect. This time, Leon faints immediately and starts to bleed from his ears.

Leon falls out of the sky and hits a tree. The last part of the battle all happened in the air in around a few minutes.

I create earth and bind him to a tree, before waiting for him to wake up and question.

To be continued.
