Chapter 764 - Three Arch Demons
Of course, Final Spear is only meant to be used as a last resort with the intent of killing opponents in a single move.
After all, it was blasphemy to spear-users to throw away their weapons.
Nevertheless, Leon\'s reveal also surprised Aria.
"Where did you find the time to learn a spear technique like this?" Aria inquired with a curious look.
Although Aria had not always been around Leon, she followed him for some time. And during that time, she had never seen Leon demonstrate such a move until now.
"I\'m always training via virtual simulations in my mind while I do other things with my body. Even now, I am training in my mind," Leon casually answered with a smile.
He had too many abilities; he wouldn\'t be able to train them all using normal methods.
Nevertheless, his dual consciousness only allowed him to perform up to two tasks at maximum efficiency simultaneously.
Although it was possible to divide his consciousness to perform even more tasks, doing so would only drastically reduce his training efficiency to the point where it would even be slower than performing two tasks normally.
Even so, Aria and the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman were stunned when Leon told them about his virtual simulation training.
"Huh? Is something like that even possible?" Aria muttered with surprise.
"It is definitely not something most people can do unless they have a powerful soul, but it\'s you; I believe you can increase your training efficiency via this method with some practice—though, not on the same level as me, Aria."
"Hmph! I don\'t believe it; I will definitely prove you wrong!" Aria pouted at once, irked by his words.
Leon smiled and shook his head helplessly before saying, "You can try, but I don\'t have any tips to give you, Aria. You can only practice the habit on your own, and it won\'t be easy either. It\'s more demanding than simple multitasking."
"Young Master Leonhardt, if this old man may ask; if you had such a strong spear technique, why hadn\'t you used it in the Demon King-level Tomb?"
"I couldn\'t," Leon simply answered.
"Young Master Leonhardt couldn\'t use it before, but Young Master Leonhardt could use it now?" the One-Eyed Venerable muttered with confusion.
However, the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman recalled Leon\'s dark power before asking, "Does it have something to do with the power of darkness earlier?"
"Precisely," Leon nodded.
He reveals his dark power, allowing it to wrap around his hand and dance like a small serpent of darkness.
"This is divine cultivation, and many battle skills require it to be executed," Leon explained.
Unlike his Black Vortex Space, which acts as both an energy bank and energy refiner, the core formed during the breakthrough to Revolve Core Realm was a little different.
Although it also stores energy, it mainly serves as an engine to execute and bring out the full potential of spirit arts and battle skills.
"But enough of that, it seems like we don\'t have many people gathered on our side," Leon changed the topic.
The One-Eyed Venerable Shaman nodded before saying, "So it seems."
After gathering all the tribes that came to the Abyssal Wood Forest, their numbers did not even exceed 300 people.
"With this many people, it will be difficult to fight the demons," the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman adds.
"Well, the difficulty will depend on how strong the demons are. If their strength is not high, it wouldn\'t matter how many of them come—even if I have to fight alone," Leon calmly stated while facing the east.
It was unexpected that Leon did not find any other familiar people among the 300 humans gathered in the Abyssal Wood Forest.
Even Chief Baskara and his tribesmen did not return.
\'It\'s a pity that Baskara Boya and the rest of my tribesmen did not return. Otherwise, we would have a bit more people to join the battle," the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman said, also thinking what Leon was thinking.
However, Leon shook his head after hearing the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman\'s words.
"To begin with, the demons attracted to this forest because of Darlene\'s Transcendence. Therefore, I have no choice but to stay, protect, and ensure her safety and successful breakthrough."
As Leon said that, he turned to face the other tribe leaders and chiefs eavesdropping nearby before he continued to speak, "However, it is different for everyone else here. You don\'t have an obligation to defend this place. If you all want to leave, you all may."
"Young Master Leonhardt is thinking too little of this old man. How can this old man leave Young Master Leonhardt behind to brave the dangers alone after receiving so many benefits? This old man isn\'t such an ungrateful person."
The One-Eyed Venerable Shaman was the first to speak.
"We\'ve already made a mistake earlier and offended Senior One-Eye and Young Master Leonhardt, so we still stay and fight to atone for that mistake," Chief Skyhawk spoke shortly after.
However, Chief Skyhawk soon glances are his injured tribesmen briefly before adding, "But my tribesmen are all injured. I\'m afraid our assistance will be limited."
"Since you decided to stay and fight, I will naturally not leave them in such states. Otherwise, how can I live up to my title as a Divine Doctor?" Leon replies.
He takes out two bottles of Tier-3 All-Purpose Healing Pills and tosses them over to Chief Skyhawk.
"Have them each take two pills, and they will recover greatly," Leon said.
It was unfortunate that [Sacred Garden] wasn\'t keeping up with his need for quality spirit herbs.
Otherwise, a single Tier-4 All-Purpose Healing Pill would have been enough to heal them.
Nevertheless, Chief Skyhawk was overjoyed to receive anything from Leon after getting on his bad side.
"Thank you, Young Master Leonhardt," Chief Skyhawk expresses his gratitude with a slight bow.
Shortly after the tribe leaders and chiefs discussed with their people, they also made their decisions.
"Apologies, Young Master Leonhardt. The Great Mountain Tribe will not partake in this battle with the demons. Pardon us for taking our leaves."
"My Desolate Tiger Tribe will also not participate in this upcoming battle with the demons. So please excuse us for also taking our leaves."
…
The tribe leaders and chiefs of the tribes that wanted to leave all spoke first and left without looking back.
Since they aren\'t compelled to fight like they initially thought, there was no need to stay and suffer losses.
Just like that, 220 warriors left the forest center, leaving only the Sky Sword Sect and three other tribes.
"Why didn\'t you guys leave like the others?" Leon glanced at the remaining tribe leaders with a curious gaze.
Aria and the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman also expressed their interest in hearing the tribe leaders\' answers.
"The Western Blackriver Tribe came to this forest because we thought a great opportunity was waiting for us here. However, we are staying because we see great potential in you and don\'t want you to fall here."
The leading warrior of the Western Blackriver Tribe spoke.
"The Ember Lion Tribe also stays for the same reason. It\'s rare to see such a young Half-step Battle King. If we make it through this ordeal, remember that the Ember Lion Tribe wishes to befriend you, Young Master Leonhardt."
"And so does the Cold Gale Tribe," the last representative added.
None of them were chiefs of their respective tribe, but they all admired Leon\'s feat at such young age.
"You\'ll risk your lives just to befriend?" Leon smiled with doubt and slightly shook his head before saying, "Regardless of your reasons, we\'ll be brothers on the battlefield."
…
…
…
"My lords, you\'ve arrived!"
Lord Ishtalir and the rest of the demons knelt and greeted the main force upon their arrival at the eastern outskirts of the Abyssal Wood Forest.
Three Arch Demons led the 2000-strong demon army at the hem of the main force, and among them were at least 700 Greater Demons.
Although it wasn\'t the entirety of the demon race inside the secret realm, it wasn\'t a force that the humans could hope to defeat—if their strength was still the same as the start of the secret realm opening, that is.
"Why are there so many demon corpses here? What the hell is that about? Quickly explain the situation!" the Three-Headed Serpent Arch Demon demanded while exuding a powerful aura.
Lord Ishtalir immediately felt the Arch Demon\'s immense pressure before she became even more respectful.
Nevertheless, Lord Ishtalir entrusted the task of explaining to Lord Celimurt before the three Arch Demons were quickly informed of the situation.
"I see… This was the work of the humans," the Three-Headed Serpent Arch Demon nodded after understanding the situation. "We will make them pay for this. But before that, we need to address an immediate problem among us."
Shortly after saying that, the Three-Headed Serpent Arch Demon suddenly turned to one of the other two Arch Demons.
"Lord Kaligan, your clansman was so incompetent that I can\'t trust you, a member of the same Evil Eye Clan, to make wise decisions. You better step down and let a more capable demon lead your army."
"Bastard, you think I didn\'t lose enough face to hear one of my clansmen was responsible for the death of several hundred Lesser Demons? And yet you still dare rub salt into my wounds? If you want to fight, just say so. Don\'t think that I am afraid of you, Lord Teshafir!"
The Evil Eye Arch Demon spoke with a dark and threatening look.
While the high tension made it seem like the Arch Demons would battle among themselves before battling the humans, Lord Geramut appears beside Lord Ishtalir.
"None of these three Lord Arch Demons appears to be the leaders… I don\'t recognize any of them. Do you, Lord Ishtalir?"
