Chapter 285
It’s tough!
As Leonard’s Evil-Repelling Sword of Heaven pierced through the creature’s forehead, he felt an overwhelming resistance—one that seemed to transcend the very concept of durability.
Even at the level of a True God, it couldn’t be penetrated. This wasn’t just about thick skin or dense flesh. The being before him was a Great Evil, a creature born from the accumulated remains of ancient gods compressed over countless ages like layers of sedimentary rock. Its density was beyond reason.
And yet, it was still just a newborn. Despite being incomplete, its soul and body were not yet fully unified, and even after Hades siphoned some of its power, it was already on par with Great Gods. If it were to fully ascend to godhood, it might even reach the level of a Chief God.
If Crom Dubh were to reach that state, it would be the end. The fighters who stood against this True God–level entity were barely able to muster enough power for a single decisive battle. Even if they could fight multiple times, against a Chief God–level monster, combat itself would be meaningless.
...I will end it now, right here and now!
Before the allied forces were completely exhausted, Leonard had to defeat Crom Dubh’s incomplete form. This was his role in the final battle.
The moment the fight began, he had amplified his Qi of the Four Symbols to Deification and struck with his strongest attack in an attempt to kill the enemy in one blow. Though the attempt had failed, the blood and spiritual energy spilling from Crom Dubh’s forehead was proof that he had harmed the creature.
Crom Dubh was neither an invincible nor unkillable opponent. If one strike wasn’t enough to kill it, then he would simply strike again and again—until its life was carved away.
Blazing Wings Ignition
As Leonard’s will surged, the pair of wings flickering behind his back exploded, propelling him forward at a speed faster than sound. There was no concept of acceleration.
