Leo found himself in a very difficult situation without an idea on what to do. Hearing Lucian asking him if he’s the same Leo as the one on the leaderboard, he knew that things were about to get worse.
If Lucian is to actually link him to the Leo on the leaderboard, then his death is certain. With how weak he is, being unable to move due to just Lucian’s presence, there was no way the he would be able to do anything if Lucian wants to kill him.

Leo tried to think of something. Anything that can help him in the very helples situation he finds him, but nothing came to mind.
This made him to understand what it truly mean for every type of scheming to be useless in the presence of absolute strength.
Leo clenched his fist, gritting his teeth at his helpless.
The next moment, Leo’s knees buckled as an overwhelming force crashed down on him, sending him collapsing onto the blood-soaked ground.
It felt like a ton of concrete was suddenly dropped on him, forcing him to the ground and crushing his bones.
Leo tried to raise his head up but he couldn’t, and he felt like if he forced it, he would only be killing himself as his neck would snap.
He also felt his his vision darkening, and he feels like he’s suffocating under a great pressure—Lucian’s pressure.

"Now, I will ask again and this time, I want you to give me an answer. And you must give me something good as your life and that of everyone in that building, and your little dog pet, depends on it," Lucian asked, as he used his feet to raise Leo’s head to look at him.
"Now, answer me. Are you the same Leo on the leaderboard? Leo Astranox?"
Leo gritted his teeth as Lucian used his feet to raise his head. He has experienced a lot of things in the past couple of days, and month since the apocalypse started, but this is the first time he’s experiencing something like this.
This is the first time he’s experiencing such an humiliation and it made his blood boil. It caused something inside of him to roar in rage.
Whatever it was just wants nothing more than to rip Lucian into a million shred. It wants to rip Lucian apart bit by bit and burn his shreds in an everlasting flame.
Sensing this, Leo wanted nothing more than whatever it is that’s inside of him to come out, but it couldn’t.
Leo was defeated and the only best to do right now is to give up his identity to Lucian, so that he can save Ves, Mia, Miguel and Fiona’s life.
Even if he does in the end, as he’s sure that is what would happen. He wants to make sure that they are okay.
But he was aware that Lucian might not spare them. And this is especially if he gives up his identity. He might use it an excuse to kill them.
Realising this, Leo had no idea what else to do. He can’t give up his identity but he can’t also let everyone die.
It was then he heard Fiona’s cough. He looked towards her and he saw blood dripping from her mouth as she struggled to rise, her massive form trembling under Lucian’s gaze.
After being slapped into a building, Fiona forces herself back up, her rage and survival instinct pushing her past her limits.
Leo heard Lucian sigh, muttering something to himself and the next moment, vanishing and appearing in front of Fiona before she could react.
Leo watched as he stomps her back into the ground, causing her to let out a loud whimper filled pain.
Lucian stomped Fiona’s massive form again and again, causing her to cry out even more. And the next moment, he kicked her, and sent her flying into wall of the residential building.
Fiona smashed into the building, with the impact causing a huge webs of cracks and her blood flowing down the cracks.
"I won’t be so merciful next time, you wey dog. Know your place," Lucian said, before appearing in Leo’s front again.
Leo watches, completely unable to move, as Fiona’s who was now stuck in the wall of the building, whimpered and slowly, her whimpers turn to silence.
Lucian looks at Leo with mocking disappointment.
"She fought harder than you did. Perhaps I should’ve been dealing with her instead of wasting my time with you, don’t you think?"
"I will kill you! I. Will. Kill. You! Be you the son of a god, the son of the devil himself, I will hunt you down and I will make you feel every single pain I feel today," Leo bellowed at the top of his voice in rage. But a casual slap from Lucian plastered him to the ground.
"Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. That wasn’t the answer i.eas looking for. And how do you intend to kill me when you will be dead? Even if you reincarnate, you will be back to being a weak Awakened, and I will be the one to hunt you down and kill you. You should really be careful of what you say," Lucian said, shaking his head tiredly.
The next moment, Lucian’s neck snapped upward towards a direction.
"Ah! Here she comes. The prodigal child herself. The disgrace of the Carstein lineage," he smirked.
The following moment, the air trembled suddenly as massive gust of wind blew, and Tatiana appeared, standing in the air with wings made of blood on her back.
"I was wondering when you’re going to show up, dear sister?" Lucian asked, with a mocking smile.
"Lucian, do you still take pleasure from tormenting the weak? Is your ego so little that you have bully those weaker than you to make you feel strong? If you really want to show off your strength, why don’t you go find one of the demons on the leaderboard and fight them? You can even find the last ranked among them," Tatiana said, with a cold voice as she slowly descended to the ground.
"I see that you’re still as sharp tongued as ever and like always, you’re always blind and unable to see when someone is stronger than you," Lucian said, with a smirk.
"Funny. Is that what you call you this? Recognising someone stronger than you?" Tatiana laughed, and continued, "If that is so, then why don’t you fight me?"
Immediately, the atmosphere changed, growing heavier as Tatiana released her pressure.
Her pressure was stronger than Lucian’s, as it enveloped the whole battlefield, dwarfing Lucian’s and relieving Leo of the presure that was pressing him down.
"Tell me, Lucian. Who is stronger? You? How many exchange do you think you can last against me?"
