Protagonist?Antagonist? I Reject Both

Chapter 70 70:The Hunt[II]

Reno took a step back, dodging Leon's fist but just as he dodged Leon's left-hand fist, he suddenly heard a paper-like sound.

BANG!

All he saw was a blur whipping movement of Leon's right arm invisible to his naked eye.

Before he knew it, he felt a tremendous force smashing against the right side of his face. His vision distorted, planting him on the ground.

SWOOSH!

Before Reno's mind could make out what was happening, his body reacted to his own and he rolled over.

BOOM!

From the corner of his eyes, Reno screamed out seeing Leon's hand smashing the hard ground leaving a dent.

As Leon followed after, Reno flexed his torso and jumped up twisting his heel, he kicked toward Leon's hand

"Gotc..."

BANG!

Reno's words struck his throat as his foot, which was about to land on Leon's head, was blocked and he felt a tight grip on his ankle.

Raising his head, his eyes met with the cold eyes of Leon and everything came into half. It was as if the eyes of man were asking if he had anything more.

"ENOUGH!"Reno let out a roar and gritted his teeth as a crimson hue sprang from his body.

Jumping up with his other leg, he twisted his body and kicked to the other side of Leon's face with great force. His movement was so smooth and fast that it was cut through the air with a blur, but..

BANG!

It was again blocked by Leon whose expression started to be distorted.

"With this much strength, you think you are enough to fuck around and destroy people's lives as if all of this is a child's play," Leon spoke coldly.

Letting go of Reno's feet, Leon raised his foot and kicked Reno right in the middle of his chest with the soles of his feet.

A sound akin to a thunder blast resonated and like a broken kite from the string, Reno's body flew in the air swiftly.

Tearing through the air, he crashed onto the ground and bounced on the ground multiple times, he rolled for a few meters back.

"Reno!"

Rose shouted as she ran up to him.

"Cough...Cough...Did you take the pill?"Reno asked, wiping off the blood.

"Yes! I have." Rose nodded and reacted immediately.

Leon smiled as he saw Reno sneaking up a pill on Rose. As for the effect, it's time to find out.

Leon, without giving them a moment to rest, appeared and punched but something shocking suddenly as Rose who was about to come in contact with Leon's hand.

Leon found a thorny vine appearing out of nowhere and wrapped in his arms restricting its movement. The thorns scratched the upper epidermis leaving cuts as the vine grasp became tighter.

Without saying anything, Leon pulled his head back and prepared to give a headbutt but before he could do that Reno appeared behind and aimed his sword at his back.

Leon's senses kicked in and with all his strength he pushed forward making Rose stumble.

Reno's blade aiming for Leon's head missed and cut through his back but ignoring the pain, Leon somersaulted holding Rose and throwing her in the air who rotated her body and landed on the ground.

Leon then looked at wounds in his hand and then looked at Rose. Previously her face was pale and she looked sickly but now she seemed to be brimming with energy. Leon also felt something different in her.

"Interesting!"Leon lifted his head and rotated his gaze between the couple.

'It seems the pill suppressed her injury forcefully and alleviated her power.'

Concluding, Leon extended his hand and a sword suddenly appeared in his hand. Gripping onto its hilt, Leon suddenly slashed.

Reno's eyes wide opened and he stepped back feeling an unprecedented sense of crisis flashing before his eyes.

Reno jumped in time to avoid a deadly crisis as the place he stood was cut into tatters and as he tumbled down onto the ground to the side, he felt a slight pain on his left shoulder.

Rose saw Leon's attention on Reno and immediately attacked.

"HAAAA!"

Spiritual energy swelled and burst out from her body.

A huge bloody figure materialized above her head which bloomed into an ever-glowing rose. Tendrils and vines emerged from it and petals of rose pulsate.

Rose took a step forward and arched down her back.

The ground beneath her feet started cracking and the rose above her head enlarged, emitting a strong shockwave.

The wind swirled, getting sucked in creating a vortex around Rose and then, with a loud cry, Rose pointed at Leon and muttered faintly.

"Shoot!"

BOOM! frёewebnoѵēl.com

A rain of thorns burst out from the rose along with a beam of condensed qi that shot towards Leon and as it came into contact with it...

BOOOOOOOOOM!BOOOOOOM!BOOOOOOOOOM!

A chain of crackling explosions reverberated one after another as many explosives were set off at once.

Dust stirred and ground cracked, as the thorns of pure qi on striking the target exploded with a destructive energy.

Rose's chest heaved up and down as tension rose to the peak as she awaited the hopeful result.

She thought it was over but as the dust dissipated, both her and Reno's pupils constricted in fear.

Leaving a large drag mark on the ground, and a few meters away from the cracked land, Leon stood with a transparent pulsating shield that protected him from the assault.

Rose and Reno's eyes almost popped out of the socket as they saw the energy shield and their mind screamed in dismay and shock.

'Just where the hell did he get it.'

"How did he have this?"The more she fought the man, the more terrorized she became.

Energy shields and laser guns were strictly controlled by the Federation so the man having this only meant that he was someone with high authority.

While on one hand, Reno was having a headache seeing this, on the other side his eyes shone with greed.

'Just who the hell is this guy?'

'I have to get my hands on this no matter what. I can't let go of this opportunity. As for future trouble, I would be strong enough to avert the disaster by that time.'Reno muttered inwardly with an evil smile.

If Leon heard this he would have felt offended and asked him to survive this fight first then think about the future later.

Holding the shield, a smile formed over Leon's lips.

"This is great…really great."

"Weapon testing was successful."Putting it back, he eyed the flower above Rose's head.

It was dangerous...The situation was quite dangerous enough to kill him if it was at full power.

And he didn't know if the Energy could take on the full power attack of Martial Lord Rose. However, he was quite curious about the bloody flower rose pulsating as if it was alive.

"So this is what Martial Spirit looks like."

"Surely a convenient tool," Leon muttered scanning it carefully. He was really fascinated by this thing.

'I should give it a try to awaken my Martial Spirit. Even if the chances are low, it won't hurt to give it a try.'

Deciding his next course of action, he pulled his sword and kicked the ground, shooting like a cannon to meet Reno's sword, who also followed Leon's suit.
