Leon, Zwein and Ritsu vs Black Rat

Ritsu, one of the Black Rat's five subordinate pillars, lay wounded among the ruins of the fortress. I was shocked to see how bad he was. Even though Master Black Rat was strong, it was too shocking to see Ritsu's condition so severe. Moreover, Master Black Rat had to Zwein.

Ritsu's lizard-man body slowly moved, he forced himself to stand up. Even though it's slow, but it looks like his body's regeneration was working, he seems to be aware of my presence.

"Leon, you bastard didn't run away, huh? Leon, you must immediately help our side to beat the Black Rat, he has gone mad, he intends to sacrifice the half-beasts to gain the power of the Undead King, he was a follower of the Undead King, if we don't stop him now, then all the half beasts inside this barrier will die!"

Ritsu's explanation made me frown. I had heard that the Undead King was one of the strongest gods on the darkness faction. The majority of followers of the Undead King were mostly madmen and maniacs. If Master Black Rat really was a follower of the Undead King, then I couldn't help but have to stop him as well. I don't want to interfere in this war, but Master Black Rat had the upper hand now, and it seems he had no intention of pardoning the rebels.

"I'll help you, but before that I have to get this little human to safety," I said.

Ritsu was aware which kind of half beast I am, so he decided not to bother Vincent on my back. He nodded and said, "Then hurry up, Zwein couldn't hold him alone."

After that, I immediately ran away from Ritsu. I observed the battlefield again to make sure that Kevin and Clarissa were in a safe place. After searching for a while, I finally found that Kevin and Kale had gathered with Han, Quint, and Clarissa. I ran, approaching them. Clarissa, who saw me from a distance, looked happy at her brother, who I was carrying.

I stopped in front of Clarissa and crouched down. "Hey, you can open your eyes now," I tell Vincent. The boy opened his eyes, he looked at his sister in shock. He immediately got off my back and ran towards Clarissa.

"Sister Clarissa!"

"Vincent, are you okay? I am very worried about you."

They hug tightly. I'm so happy, this rescue act went smoothly. I'm glad I could help them. However, the situation within the barrier was becoming more and more dangerous. It's time for Clarissa and Kevin to get out of here.

"Kale. Take Kevin and Clarissa out of the barrier. You wait out there too."

Kale frowned, "What do you mean? How about you, Leon?"

I shook my head, "I have to stop, Master Black Rat. At first, I didn't intend to join this war, but it looks like Master Black Rat intends to sacrifice all the half beasts to increase his strength. I can't let that happen."

Kale was silent for a while, she whispered to me, "take care of yourself."

I nodded at Kale. Then I turned my attention to Kevin as well as Clarissa.

"Kevin, Clarissa, we've only met for a few days, but I think you guys are my friends, I hope this journey into the barrier could be a valuable lesson for you. The situation within the barrier is getting more complicated, it's time for you to leave."

Kevin and Clarissa looked at each other, then nodded in unison. Clarissa bowed her head to me for a while before saying, "Thank you for everything, if it wasn't for you, I probably wouldn't have been able to save my brother, let alone save him, my life might have been in danger too. Thank you for the help, Mister Leon."

Clarissa glazed at her brother, Vincent immediately thanked me too.

"I hope this isn't the last time we see each other," Kevin said as he held out his hand to me. I took his hand and shook it.

After that. I waved my hand at them and left the place towards the battlefield again. My mood that had just improved immediately changed when I saw more and more half beasts were dying and turning into monsters. Others were also dragged into the gate and used as material for the gate to continue to supply power to Master Black Rat.

I stopped beside Ritsu, Ritsu who noticed I was coming, immediately shouted, "Come on, we have to help Zwein, she's been cornered!"

I turned my gaze to Zwein's figure, in her giant snake mode, it was obvious that the situation was really not good. There were many large open wounds on Zwein's snake body, not only that, the Black Rat Master's giant skull was now holding a bone sword surrounded by a dark aura, it seemed that he intended to slash Zwein.

I closed my eyes for a moment, the seeds in every half beast came from their ancestors, so did I. I then released a smoldering golden aura that enveloped my body. I roared loudly, so loudly that the monsters fled in fright. Furthermore, I opened my eyes and with the blink of an eye, I shot towards Master Black Rat. My hands were enveloped in flames, I swung my arms and then a burst of flames attacked Mister Black Rat.

Even though the giant skull protected him, but the heat scorched Master Black Rat's clothes. I saw him surprised by my sudden attack. He immediately tore off the part of his clothes that caught fire. Master Black Rat's busyness was used by Zwein to retreat, she returned to human mode.

I approached Zwein, who was panting while holding her wound. I then said to her, "Heal your wound first, I'll try to hold Master Black Rat for a while."

"Are you pretending to be a hero, Leon? Back off, this isn't your fight."

Even though she was in a pitiful state, Zwein was still cold to me. I ignored her attitude, and continued running towards Master Black Rat. Master Black Rat that I just attacked, was facing Ritsu, Ritsu was very agile, he could evade from Mr Black Rat's attacks and trouble him. I ran quickly and jumped while aiming towards Black Rat real body.

I tried to pierce through the giant skull protecting him, but failed.

"Leon, you also want to fight me, huh?! Then I will not spare you!" One of the giant skull hands grabbed my body and threw me.

I felt my back hit the ground, and continued to roll due to the force of the giant skull throwing. We couldn't go on like this, the giant skull was very strong, If we couldn't penetrate it, then it will be very difficult to defeat Master Black Rat.

I stood up slowly after my body stopped crashing, I then observed the giant skull. I noticed that there was a gap in the giant skull eyes. It's just very difficult to break through the gap. But with the help of Ritsu and also Zwein, I think I could do something.
