Chapter 198 198:The Reward
Red....Everything in his vision had been encompassed by the colour of red and except for Avelin in this bloody red world, he wasn't able to find anything.
He lost control of his senses and let his emotions take over him to evacuate the fire of rage burning in his heart.
Even though he didn't show it, he blamed himself for their death.
Maybe if he hadn't become their friend this wouldn't have happened alas regret is the only thing that could do.
Regret.....
It was a feeling that never left whether it was in the previous or this world.
It was his true friend that didn't even depart after death.
When you walk on a dangerous path, you are bound to encounter some things that you ought to regret.
But this is the particular feeling that keeps him connected to his human side.
Still, that doesn't mean he wasn't angry. He really wishes he could make this guy alive and pummel again.
However, his red world was torn and forcefully invaded when a woman appeared before her with a pouting aggrieved look.
"Huh, Mo….."
A word unbeknownst to him subconsciously emerged from his lips but he managed to snap out before finishing it and his fist charging at her stopped just before her skin.
A brief silence lingered and Leon felt his adrenaline rush calming down, what followed was a terrible pain assaulting all his body.
His muscles seemed to have been stretched beyond the limit and his skin had been fried to crisps.
His vision became dizzy and as he staggered forward, a pair of soft hands wrapped around him.
"Leon!"Irina muttered, wrapping her hands around his head and placing it on her navel."Are you alright?"
"Your condition is worse...Worse. Why didn't you take the potion?"Su Lin asked and from her pouch took out a potion.
Irina's eyes became teary seeing her son's lifeless condition.
"I...am alright.."Leon muttered with a dry voice. His voice crackled and his throat became dry.
"No, you aren't."Su Lin muttered resolutely and taking out the potion, she forced open Leon's lips.
Leon cooperated and chugged it down.
SWOOSH!
A mist emerged from Leon and his dark crisp bloodied skin turned red and started peeling off.
It didn't heal him totally but at least it made him feel bitter.
"Haaaa...."Leon inhaled deeply and closed his eyes to sleep looking for momentary rest but he was awakened by the metallic chime.
[Congratulations! The host had killed another protagonist.]
[You have gained 2500 counter-attack points and 15000 kill Points.]
[Calculating reward.... Choice can only be done after you kill your 5th protagonist. The random reward is generated....]
[Host had gained Emperor Pressure..]
[Also, there is another thing to host.]
[Go and sit on the throne. You will get a huge surprise.]
'The system's way of speaking seems to be changing a bit. And reward Emperor Pressure feels useless.'
He shook his head to swallow his bitterness.
Something is better than nothing.
Leon held Irina's hand and raised his face, "I am alright. Can you release me now, I am feeling embarrassed?"
Irina blinked her eyes, staring at Leon's eyes.
Unlike before, his eyes looked calm and warm which lessened Irina's worry.
"Are you alright now?"Su Lin asked from the side.
"Yes, Miss Su.And thanks for caring for me. You are a good woman. The one who will marry you will be lucky."
"What are you saying?"Su Lin's face heated up and she took a step back.
Irina wanted Leon to stay still alas he always does what he wants.
Resigning herself she stepped back as Leon standing up walked ahead looking at the stairs leading up the platform.
"Are you interested in that?"Irina asked in a soft voice trying to communicate with Leon.
"Yes!"Leon replied but that's all.
Ignoring them, he walked towards the Black Throne with two torch-lit burning beside stairs.
Leon asked the system inwardly.'System, what's that Devil tattoo on Avelin's right arm?'
[Host, it's a sibil. It can be used to absorb the soul and release its power at once but if you don't have a strong mind, negative emotions may affect you. It's a tradition of Orcs to draw a civil that symbolizes their bravery and the number of people they killed.]
'Okay, so what was the thing you were talking about?'
[Host, go to the Throne and sit on it. You will get a pleasant surprise.]
Leon tilted his head and did what the system said.
Su Lin and Irina watched Leon staggering his way up towards the Throne.
Irina's eyes glowed and her heart puffed in pride as she felt as if she was watching a Sovereign making his way up to the throne stepping over all the difficulties.
Meanwhile, Su Li's eyes gleamed as she saw Leon muscular and couldn't help but murmur.
'He looks a bit…too cool.'
'Do you want to sit on the Throne?' Irina's mind wanders as she watches Leon back.
At that time, Irina remembered Leon's words that he had spoken in a joke during childhood.
'I don't want to have the authority of the King but my presence shouldn't be less than a King. I might not have an army but my presence should be enough to deter an army.'
Irina's eyes welled up as his son had grown and done what he said.
The moment he stepped out, was there anyone in the world who could stand before her son with such an undead army at his disposal?
Meanwhile, Su Lin just stared with sparkling eyes as Leon made his way.
'He looks so good...Despite his injury, he looks cool...Aaaaahh!
Su Lin calmed down!'Su Lin clapped her cheek pondering Leon's words and felt embarrassed.
Not knowing Irina and Su Lin's weird thoughts, Leon turned around and sat on the throne.
'Time to get the loot.'
BEP!
CRUNG!"
A dark light emerged scanning Leon followed by a metallic sound.
[Scanning the candidate's willpower.]
[Condition, host willpower should be greater than 200.]
[Willpower is...]
[ERROR!ERROR!]
[Unable to detect candidate willpower.]
[Condition met...]
[Suitable host is found..]
'What is going on?'
The moment the beep ended, an electric sent shot Leon making him quiver followed by an influx of memory.
[Do you want to expel other life forms?]
Leon whose body twitched with an electrifying sensation spoke yes without hesitation.
[Expelling all other life forms outside the realm.]
QUAKE!QUAKE!QUAKE!QUAKE!
The fortress…No, the entire shadow zone started to shake.
"Commander!"Su Lin screamed and held Irina.
"Leon, what's going on?"Irina's voice faded as her image turned bright...
"LEON!"She screamed worriedly, seeing Leon's darkened expression.
"Everything is alright. Just go, I will meet you outside once I am done.."
The moment just words fell, Irina and Su Lin rose like light and shot into the sky.
...
Cameron who just walked to and fro wiping his sweat staggered due to the large quake.
"Damn! Hey, what is going on?"
"How can I know my Master's Greatness?"Hella answered coldly.
"You.."Before Cameron could even curse at the fanatic fan girl, his image blurred and he shot out.
All the soldiers who were dead exhausted suddenly woke up by a large tremor and quake.
Just as they wondered what was going on, they felt an external force pulling them up, and before they knew it, their vision burst with a bright light and soon thousands of figures shot out of the vortex to their world.
