Chapter 1507: Chapter 213 - Leon Vs. Pride (5)
Lucielle blocked his attack head-on.
The collision sent both of them backward.
The distance they traveled wasn’t particularly far.
It was only enough to create a small amount of space between them.
Then they immediately charged toward each other again.
At this point, I had completely lost track of how many times they had already done that.
The number had probably reached the hundreds already.
There was also a chance that it had exceeded that amount.
The pace of the battle was completely absurd.
The amount of mana being thrown around was somehow even more absurd.
And yet neither of them looked close to reaching their limit.
The battlefield shook once again.
This time, however, I noticed something unusual.
At first, I thought I might have been imagining it.
The fight was moving so fast that it would have been easy to misread what I was seeing.
Then the same thing happened again.
After that, it happened once more.
It was a tiny detail hidden within the chaos.
The detail was so small that most people probably wouldn’t have noticed it.
I almost failed to notice it myself.
Whenever their weapons collided, Leon seemed to be pushing slightly farther forward than before.
The difference wasn’t particularly large.
In fact, the difference was incredibly small.
Lucielle blocked another attack from him.
Leon pushed forward by a single step.
Another exchange followed immediately afterward.
Lucielle blocked the next attack as well.
Leon pushed forward once more.
The difference remained tiny.
The change was almost invisible to the naked eye.
Yet it continued happening regardless.
The battle continued raging across the battlefield.
Several more minutes passed.
The destruction never stopped for even a moment.
Darkness and silver mana continued colliding throughout the battlefield.
And little by little, something began changing.
The change wasn’t dramatic in any way.
The change wasn’t sudden either.
The difference wasn’t large enough for anyone to immediately declare a winner.
It was simply enough to catch my attention.
It was enough to make me stare more carefully.
Another violent collision erupted between them.
The resulting shockwave spread across the battlefield.
This time, Lucielle slid backward.
The distance was only a few meters.
The movement only lasted briefly.
Yet it happened nonetheless.
I blinked in surprise.
Then I looked again to confirm what I had seen.
Leon immediately pressed forward once more.
Lucielle met him head-on without hesitation.
The exchange continued as if nothing had happened.
Neither of them looked concerned by the development.
Neither of them commented on it.
The battle simply continued onward.
Yet as I watched them clash again beneath the darkened sky, a realization slowly settled into my mind.
Leon wasn’t merely keeping up anymore.
Somewhere during this ridiculous fight, the balance had shifted.
The shift was only slight.
The difference was only the narrowest margin imaginable.
Yet it had shifted regardless.
The advantage wasn’t large.
The advantage wasn’t decisive.
The advantage wasn’t even stable.
For all I knew, it could disappear during the very next exchange.
Even so, it existed.
And that fact alone was difficult to believe.
For the first time since the battle had begun, Lucielle appeared to be the one giving ground.
The amount of ground she lost was minimal.
The margin remained incredibly small.
Still, seeing it happen felt unreal.
I stared at the battlefield in complete silence.
Even for someone like me, the level of strength being displayed felt ridiculous.
The destruction itself was unbelievable.
The speed they moved at was equally absurd.
The sheer amount of power behind every attack was difficult to comprehend.
None of it felt real anymore.
Instead, it felt like I was watching two natural disasters punch each other out of pure spite.
And somehow, right in front of my eyes, Leon continued moving forward while Lucielle continued meeting him head-on.
Another collision shook the battlefield violently.
A second collision followed shortly afterward.
Then a third collision shook the battlefield once again.
Neither of them stopped fighting.
Neither of them looked willing to stop anytime soon.
And somehow, despite everything I had already witnessed, I couldn’t shake the feeling that the fight was still far from over.
If anything, it felt like both of them were still climbing higher.
That realization was genuinely terrifying.
Because if this was what they looked like before reaching the end of the fight, I wasn’t entirely sure the battlefield would survive long enough to witness the conclusion.
***
The fight had lasted for three entire days.
At some point, I had completely stopped paying attention to the passing hours because there simply wasn’t any point anymore.
Day gradually became night.
Night eventually became day once again.
Then the cycle repeated itself all over again.
The battlefield never received even a brief moment of peace.
The two monsters responsible for all of this never allowed it.
The landscape had changed so drastically that I genuinely wouldn’t have recognized it anymore if I hadn’t witnessed the transformation with my own eyes.
Mountains that once stood proudly in the distance were completely gone.
Entire forests had been erased from existence.
Several lakes had formed where enormous craters had collapsed into one another.
Other parts of the battlefield looked as though countless natural disasters had struck the same location repeatedly.
And despite everything that had happened over those three days, neither of them looked exhausted.
I stared toward the distant battlefield as another collision shook the horizon.
The resulting shockwave arrived several moments later and swept across the ruined landscape.
Even after three days, I still hadn’t gotten used to it.
The force behind their attacks remained completely absurd.
More importantly, neither Leon nor Lucielle showed any obvious signs of slowing down.
Their breathing remained steady and controlled.
Their movements remained sharp and precise.
Their attacks hadn’t become weaker in the slightest.
If anything, they seemed even more refined than before.
The entire situation was honestly difficult to understand.
Three days of nonstop combat should have broken anyone.
Even powerful monsters had limits to their endurance.
Even legendary heroes eventually grew tired.
Even ancient beings couldn’t fight forever without paying some price.
Yet those two continued fighting as though the battle had only begun moments ago.
Another explosion erupted somewhere in the distance.
Darkness surged upward into the sky.
A silver flash answered it almost immediately afterward.
The collision illuminated the horizon with overwhelming force.
Then both of them disappeared from sight again.
A moment later, the sky itself seemed to split apart from another impact.
