Chapter 99: EX 99. Kill Joy
Leon and his squad thundered across the demon territory atop their Raider bikes, the engines roaring like beasts hungry for war. The ashen skies above stretched endlessly, but their mission was clear, and Leon was determined to complete it faster than anyone expected.
This time, there were no interruptions.
Every demonic beast that stirred along the way was met with swift, lethal judgment. A flash of Leon’s blade here, and a flicker of light-speed movement there, he didn’t waste words or time. Creatures fell in droves before they could even roar. He carved a silent path of carnage, letting no enemy even slow them down.
The skirmish with the giant worm earlier had drained Adrian, Eden, and Eleanor more than they’d shown so he handled every beast himself.
As they reached each of the five strongholds like clockwork.
Just like the first, Leon blitzed in alone, a blur of steel and speed, clearing every demon with clinical precision. The commanders never stood a chance. While he handled the killing, his squad took up the support role: harvesting cores, organs, and demon materials, then offloading them all into Leon’s seemingly bottomless inventory.
By the time they reached the fifth, the squad was visibly drained, their uniforms stained with ash, blood, and sweat.
Then Leon dropped the bomb.
"Let’s push for ten more."
The collective groans echoed like thunder.
"I think my bones are trying to leave my body." Eden rubbed his face with a grimace.
