Leon death

Pain spread all over my back, I sank into the rubble of the ground. The thrust by Mister Black Rat sent me falling from a height at an incredible speed. Now the Black Rat stood on top of me, he was strangling my neck. I tried to get rid of his strangulation with both hands.

I knew I had to get rid of him immediately. So I raised the temperature on the flames surrounding my body. The fire was burning very strongly. Slowly, the light illuminated both of us. However, I saw that Black Rat's expression was still flat. I knew that my fire wasn't hot enough to injure him.

I continued to amplify the temperature around my body. Now the fire was burning brightly, swallowing all around us. I keep burning my vitality, so I don't know do I'll survive after this fight or not. But my hard work paid off. I managed to overheat him. The Black Rat's bone armor seemed to be starting to melt. He immediately threw me away from him.

I grinned happily. Now I could confirm that I had a chance to win. But I'm not sure if this could be called a victory if in the end I die because I was burning too much vitality. But there was no turning back. I buried my foot into the ground, using it as a brake.

The Black Rat had used the power of the gate again to heal his bone armor. I felt something strange, after all the half beasts except me, in this battlefield died, I felt the monsters that came from the half beasts were also starting to weaken.

"Is the more the power of the gate used by the Black Rat the weaker the monsters are?"

Even though it's just a guess, but I feel it made sense considering the laws of energy. If the half beasts were the raw material for energy, then the gate was a generator that could turn them into energy for the Black Rat.

I gained more confidence, so I immediately launched an attack on the Black Rat. I dashed forward, while swinging my right hand towards the Black Rat's face. The Black Rat held my right hand with his left. We stared at each other for a moment, the Black Rat lifted his left leg and hit my body. I bounced off a bit, but I immediately stopped my body in midair, using the power of the fire to compensate for the thrust.

I spit out flames that were concentrated at one point. The flame hit his chest. Black Rat crossed his arms to block my attack. Since my fire was concentrated at one point, the penetration power was greater, the bone armor couldn't resist the penetration of my fire, so my attack hurt his hand.

Too bad I couldn't maintain such a high level of fire concentration, otherwise I might be able to injure it further. Even so, I didn't give the Black Rat time to regenerate, I immediately attacked him again. Both his hands were injured, so my punches could only be dodged by him. However, I found a chance to kick his chin firmly.

The Black Rat's body lifted for a bit, I took advantage of the moment to kick it hard. His body pushed aside, he hit the ground and spun around a few times. But the Black Rat immediately used his hands to stop the force. Now I gather strength in both my hands. I have to finish him off and not give him a chance to regenerate.

I really put all my vitality into this attack. Two balls were created in my hands. The Black Rat seemed to sense the danger from my attack, so he created two giant shields from his black energy. I slowly brought my hands forward. The moment the two balls touched, a high-temperature laser blast immediately aimed at the Black Rat.

The laser glowed yellowish red and moved straight towards the Black Rat. The laser then hit the first shield protecting the Black Rat. The shield managed to hold my laser for a while, however, at the tenth second it melted. The temperature of the laser I fired was so high that it melted the first shield.

There was still one more shield left. The Black Rat's expression was really serious now, I was getting more and more confident, the laser only took about 15 seconds to penetrate the second shield. The Black Rat tried to dodge my laser attack, but I controlled it well, so the laser hit the bone armored Black Rat's body precisely.

Apart from melting his bone armor, the laser also pushed the Black Rat away. I saw him gritting his teeth while he was trying to endure the pain of my laser strike. An enormous black aura enveloped the Black Rat's body, he blocked my laser attack and moved forward very slowly. I squealed in annoyance as I watched him walk towards me step by step.

I immediately released all the energy in my body with a single blow. The laser energy expanded and quickly headed towards the Black Rat. He failed to hold the laser with his hands, the laser hit his body, within seconds his body shattered. The laser energy disappeared.

He was dead. I was really sure that Master Black Rat really died. I feel happy even though my current condition was very poor and pathetic. I fell to the ground after exhausting all the energy in my body. I really don't have any energy left, so I could only stand still without moving my body in the slightest.

I will die. Not only that, but I feel that my end was coming. There were many things I still want to do, but I don't think I will regret my choice to help Zwein as well as Ritsu. If I was given a chance to go back in time, I would still help them to defeat Master Black Rats.

"Jihahaha, it's my win, good effort, Leon."

Ha? That laugh … I'm just hallucinating, right? Impossible! I forced my head to look towards the source of the sound. I stared in horror at the Black Rat. I saw the bodies of the monsters turn to dust and then coalesce and form the bodies of the Black Rats. Slowly his body returned to normal. However, the great gate had disappeared.

"H-how come?"

I wondered in surprise and disbelief seeing the Black Rat approaching me.

"This is the last time I regenerate. This technique had duration and consumed a lot of energy, now if you had any energy left, you might be able to kill me easily, but you had risked everything on that attack earlier. You are my masterpiece, the best half beast I have ever raised. Too bad, you have to die here now." Black Rat stood beside me, no expression of contempt on his face. He smiled gently at me as if giving me one last smile.

I failed, I failed to kill him. There's nothing more I can do. I had to leave this world without the slightest sense of composure. Sorry Kale, sorry the others. I failed to kill him. Darkness slowly swallowed my body. I felt a chill that radiated from my legs moving slowly up to my neck. I couldn't keep my eyes open. Ah, is this what death feels like?
