Leon's eyes flashed in shock as his heart started to pound. "Little Han… Eli…"
"Young man, I see that the people you cherish need you. You have defeated the demons in your heart that stopped you from unlocking your potential…" The voice of the spirit tree said.
Then a light orb fell from its branches, like a fruit that ripened. It fell gently in front of Leon and expanded into a portal.
"Go… do what you need to do. As for the power you obtained at the End of Path, you will experience it right away as you use it intently." The voice said as the light portal widened, beckoning Leon to step in.
Leon looked at the tree and nodded, then without hesitation, he stepped into the portal. Drowned by the bright light, he felt that his soul was pulled somewhere in a swift manner.
"Hah!!!" In the end, his body jolted and his eyes opened. He saw the surroundings and the bed he was sleeping on.
"Where am I?" His eyes flashed in confusion as he pulled his body up. He quickly found the door and realized that the Blades were guarding the place when he opened it.
He suddenly thought that he was completely far from where Eli and Little Han were and so his eyes flashed in panic and immediately summoned Zenith.
"Zenith!" At his word, the portal opened and he immediately stepped into the spatial void.
"Yes, master!" Zenith knew that his master had something urgent so he quickly showed himself and called Leon.
"Take me to where Eli is!" He said in a hurry.
"Right away, Master!" Zenith knew that there was danger on his master's future wife's side but because his favor for Eli had already been used up, he could no longer intervene.
After all, even though he was bound in a contract with Leon, the requirements to summon him as the Spatial king are immensely high.
Every time he manifested outside, he would take a lot of mana from Leon's body. If he went out once more, he was afraid that he would completely take away the chance for Leon to recover earlier.
But now that his master is awake, he no longer hesitated and opened a portal for Leon directly connecting him to Eli.
Leon stepped out swiftly, and the first thing he saw made his crystal blue eyes almost turn red in anger.
"Atrocious!" He bellowed as he quickly flashed and threw a punch toward the figure who was about to touch Eli's body.
Bang!!!
The battlefield suddenly became silent. Just a second ago, one side was in total despair and another side was gloating, seeing victory as absolute.
But they were suddenly disturbed by the image of the Pope receiving a punch from someone who was still covered with a mysterious light.
Finally, Leon's figure was completely revealed to everyone. His eyes and countenance were full of an oppressing aura that made the enemies shudder.
"T-the Blood prince…" The soldiers of the Vanderford uttered in disbelief.
How could the Mad Dog Blood Prince appear in this place out of nowhere?! They could not help but wonder.
However, what baffles them the most was how he was able to land a punch on Pope Ramir that easily.
They looked at the small crater a few meters away from the spot he was originally in. The Pope's figure was still not appearing and so they weren't sure if he was fine or if he took serious damage from Leon's sudden attack.
"Seirende spawn!" Emperor Razak saw Leon and was suddenly triggered.
He immediately used his lightning powers to flash directly in front of him and conjured a strong mana to attack him, "Even if you are an S-class… you are still no match for me!"
Then he twisted his body and moved, the lightning ball flying directly into Leon's face.
Slap!
Leon did not even move his foot, he just lifted his hands and slapped away the lightning ball that was blocking his vision and immediately stretched out his other hand to hold Emperor Razak's neck.
Seeing Leon's move, Emperor Razak's expression changed and he immediately stepped a few meters back. When he successfully avoided Leon's hand, he could still fill the cold lingering on the surface of his neck.
"D*mn!" He could not help but curse. 'Did I just see myself being strangled by him earlier? Was it just an illusion?!'
Emperor Razak became more vigilant, it seems that he underestimated Leon, the war-crazy prince of the Seirende Empire.
Leon recognized Emperor Razak and his power came to his attention. In a second of pondering, his eyes darkened and he declared dangerously, "You are the one who hurt her…"
"So what if it was me?" Emperor Razak was not intimidated and even smiled provocatively.
Leon did not say anything, but he took a look at Eli's charred body carefully, afraid that she would be implicated in the fight.
He looked around and saw Kayden's tragic state, then the other captains, then Baobao and Wisey. He finally understood the situation, but he still stayed silent.
For him, the first thing to do was to ensure Eli was healed and out of danger.
"Zenith…" Leon called once again.
At his word, a portal opened and responded to Leon's summon. "Yes, master." He answered mentally.
"Take the allies away from here… send them to a safe place. Leave no one from our side behind." Leon ordered Zenith mentally.
"Master… with the master's future wife's condition, she might not be able to withstand the fluctuations of the spatial void… It might bring her more harm than good." Zenith informed Leon worriedly.
Eli's state is even worse than when he first found Elise in the dungeon of the mad doctor before.
Every part of her body was charred and bloodied. The electric current used to her has made all her receptors unable to function and every cell in her skin burst.
Even Leon knew that if he carried Eli or touched her slightly, it would bring so much damage and harm to her. That is why he first thought of having Zenith take her away.
But now, he couldn't. Eli had to stay here on the dangerous battlefield if he wanted her to have more chances of recovery.
"I understand." Leon nodded, "Just take the others away to safety."
"Alright, master." Zenith then snapped his hands. Instantly, numerous array circles appeared on every member of the allied forces as Zenith prepared to transport them to a safe place.
"N-no… Leon… I have to say… Eli.. my sister…" Kayden immediately understood the meaning of the array circles and immediately looked at Leon to quickly plead.
"Let me stay… Eli's condition…" Kayden struggled to open his mouth and speak, however, he was too injured to even lift his head.
"I'll guard her previously… just allow Zenith to bring you to a place. If you are able to recover then you can ask him to let you back…" Leon knew that Kayden could also help Eli, but he also knew that Kayden needed help himself.
"Zenith, I trust you to bring them to the best place where they can receive help and be safe." Leon had no idea where their allies were stationed at the moment. So he had Zenith decide where to transport them,
"Yes, master!" Zenith answered and quickly activated the array circles to take everyone away.
Emperor Razak finally understood the meaning of the array, and so he hurriedly shouted, "Quick! Stop them!"
However, Zenith was fast! He did not need to charge his mana to complete Leon's orders. Before the enemies could even raise their swords, the knights from the allied forces all disappeared.
They were immediately sent to the nearby island where they also sent the other refugees including Kayden's parents.
"Goodness! What happened?!" The elders in charge of taking care of the refugees immediately saw an injured army appear out of nowhere and panicked.
"Quick! Call for the medics and healers! We need to help them as soon as possible!"
And so they swarmed to take care of the army immediately from the knights with the most serious injury to the superficial ones, the refugees and the rest worked together to heal them immediately.
One pair of refugees, looking thin and frail, looked at a sorry figure among the crowd of injured knights.
"Kayden!"
"Son!"
Cornelius and Yelena immediately rushed to his side in a fit of panic. During the days before the incident, they knew that the people who discovered them were Kayden, their son, and Eli.
They immediately took him, Cornelius immediately examined his injuries, while Yelena used a gentle stream of mana to protect Kayden's vital organs.
"What happened…" Cornelius saw the despair and the dampness in Kayden's face.
Even though he did not interact with Kayden for years now, his instincts as a father knew that Kayden was more hurt emotionally than physically.
"Dad… Mom… I was not able to protect her… my sister… she…" Kayden's eyes shuddered once more, as tears fell to his green eyes uncontrollably.
