Chapter 156: I Refuse To Be Trapped Here!
Leo continued to travel through the dungeon while killing any monsters or devils that tried to attack him. As he reached the eighteenth floor, a strange aura smashed into his body, causing him to think. ’What’s going on here? Why does it feel like it’s pulling me toward it?’
He shrugged and continued until reaching the nineteenth-floor entrance, only for the feeling to grow strong. By the time Leo reached the bottom of the stairs, he saw a portal floating above a swamp.
’Oh, that’s how they’re getting into this world,’ he thought when sensing the devil aura radiating from it.
Leo stepped forward, ready to approach, but a sudden surge of instinct sent alarms ringing through his mind. His body reacted before his thoughts could catch up. He tilted back just as a fist came hurtling past his face, missing him by mere inches.
’’That was close!’’ he muttered.
His eyes widened, the force of the near-hit sending a gust of wind against his skin. But there was no time for hesitation. With lightning speed, he twisted his body and unleashed a Supernova Punch that connected with the devil.
The impact sent shockwaves rippling through the air as it connected, the sheer force shaking the ground beneath him. He followed that up by casting Mana Barrier as several spells struck.
Explosions shook the ground, but his smile grew wider before returning the attack with dozens of Thunderbolts and Fireballs that materialized above her. He dropped his hand, and the projectiles sliced through the air.
Leo watched as the spells struck their targets, detonating in fiery bursts that consumed the enemies, reducing them to nothing but ash. The battlefield trembled as a horde of monstrous creatures surged out of the swamp, their roars echoing through the chaos.
Undeterred, he tightened his grip on his weapon and charged forward, clashing with the devils that emerged from the shadows. Each strike sent shockwaves through the air. But for every enemy he killed, more took their place, their numbers seemingly endless.
Yet, with unyielding determination, he fought on, his aura blazing like a star amidst the darkness. His strength overwhelmed the devils just as he sensed something was strange coming from the portal, causing him to approach it.
