Chapter 184 184:Ghostly Voices
Leon along with many looked around suspiciously wondering where that bastard went. Even after a few moments of searching and looking for shadows, he wasn't able to find out about that guy so he decided to look for the system help, but just as he asked the question, he heard screams from behind.
"HUH!"
Activating his draconic eyes he turned around.
His eyes opened abruptly and the world before him slowed down greatly.
From the distance, his eyes caught the sight of a shadowy figure taking a step forward holding a cut head.
The rage of Ian and Vikram was reflected in his eyes as they lunged forward towards the guy but with a step, like lightning, Avelin appeared right behind them.
From aside he caught sight of Irina with a shocked expression making her way to save them. Her attack had already been shot but...
"No!"
A subconscious scream erupted from his lips and right before Leon's eyes, Ian and Vikram's head chopped off with a wave of Avelin's head.
SWOOSH!
"I offered you a chance," Avelin laughed with a smile
The world returned to normal and Avelin who smiled holding three heads vanished instantly and shards of ice spikes appeared in the place he stood followed by Irina.
"Are you looking at me?"
Leon turned his head abruptly towards the voice.
Now, Avelin appeared in the circle of Orcs troops that were retreating and stared at Leon's lifeless expression.
His abrupt appearance and disappearance baffled everyone.
With a burst of gruesome laughter, Avelin raised the three cut heads.
"Don't blame me for this. Everything is fair in love and war. I gave you a chance but you didn't accept so it's fair for me to get compensation for the heads of my commanders you have cut."Avelin gave Leon a sneer and swung the three hands in his hand while mocking everyone.
"This is the end that has been waiting for you all if you keep sticking your nose here."
"You!" Cameron's expression turned ugly as he saw the man swinging the head of the dead who still had their eyes wide open along with various expressions.
One was filled with shock, one was with anger and one was with bitter hatred.
What made this scene more disgusting was that a human leading monsters was doing this.
Though each party had their own agendas but looking at the disrespectful brutal display, their heart churned and boiled.
Even if they cut the head of a troop commander and kept them for display, no heads were subjected like this.
Cameron felt his head boiling with anger. His eyes became bloodshot and his aura erupted giving everyone around a shiver.
"Attack!ATTACK!"
As if a dam had been burst forth, the soldiers who came to a halt with emotion surging in their hearts ran towards the opposite army.
Avelin smiled seeing this and waved his head again, his eyes locked into Leon.
"Hey you! if you want this back, come and get it back for me."
The loud voice rang through the plain and with this, the figure's image blurred into the shadow and his presence vanished.
The main Orc troops have already disappeared behind the most covering the Black Fortress leaving a handful of few to deal with humans.
The Orcs started retreating after this while the human army chased them off for a few distances alas everything was for naught as none dared to step into the veil of most causing the few who barged in daringly to fall into madness.
Looking around Cameron's eyes fell on Leon and walked slowly towards him.
Not only him, but many figures seem to be running to comfort him.
"LEOOON!"
"LEOON!"
"Leon, calm down!"
Various familiar sounds echoed in his ears but his mind was too preoccupied to hear or discern the voice.
The world turned blurry for a moment with everything in his sight vanished except for the sight of three headless figures laying on the ground spurting blood.
Leon's heart seethed with an uproar of rage and anger, his emotions ran wildly in turmoil.
Each beat of his heart echoed the thunderous anger that surged through his veins, fueling his every step forward.
His mind was harbored by a storm of conflicting thoughts, followed by memories of his dead comrades mingling with and churning inside him. The image of Avelin's mocking smile burned in his mind's eye, making him gnash his teeth in anger.
Trailing through the line of soldiers and ignoring everyone's voice, he reached the place and his knees fell to the ground with a loud thud
"Sander..."
"Vikram..."
"Ian..."
Leon found his voice choking a bit as he remembered the last few days when the three took care of him when he forgot to eat food while joking to ease his mood during tough times.
'Those were some good times..'
It wasn't their death that upset him, but rather the reason for their death.
They were especially targeted because of him.
Leon looked for their souls but to his horror, no souls were floating over their bodies.
'Don't tell me…?'
That meant their souls went with their heads.
His eyes blazed with an intensity that could rival the severest storm. Every fiber of his being screamed for revenge, for the chance to confront the guy that had torn their group apart cruelly.
With each breath, Leon's muscles tensed with the weight of his fury, his jaw clenched so tightly that his teeth ground against each other with a savage intensity. His hands curled into fists, nails digging into his palms as he fought to contain the torrent of emotion threatening to consume him.
But beneath the surface of his anger, there simmered a cold, steely resolve.
Leon's rage was not blind or chaotic; it was a focused, calculated force that he was going to use to ram onto that son of bitch.
[The Class Madmen is activated.]
Leon could feel his power surging, a hint of madness flickering before his eyes but before he gave in to madness, Leon heard a faint whisper shaking him to the core.
[LIEGE!]
[LORD!]
[MASTER]
'Who is calling me?'
'LEON!'
'It feels like a familiar voice
''Hahaha! I am now really going crazy, "A laughter of anguish erupted from his voice.
[Master, you aren't not crazy…]
[Liege, it's us….Liege please hear us…]
[Lord, please hear the call of these useless servants.]
[Please hear our voices. Please….]
Leon abruptly opened his eyes hearing the familiar voices and soon a myriad of emotions along with screeching voices echoed in his mind making him dizzy.
"G…Ghosts…"
