According to the information that the system had collected from the Bloodfire Dragon King, Shadowmorph along with the help of the Quasi-Divine Knowledge, Leo had gained a rough understanding of the strength and ranks of the upper echelon of the Beast Tamer God's Temples.
Among the three positions, the Temple Guardians, the Temple Elders and the Temple Master, the Temple Guardians are the weakest with the Beast Tamer Ranks of level 1-3 Diamond Grade.
When these Temple Guardians become a level 4 Diamond Grade and with enough contribution points, they could be officially promoted to Temple Elders.
As for the Temple Elders, if they could break through the Diamond Grade and become Quasi-Divine Grade Beast Tamer's, with the Beast Tamer God's Blessing they would open a new branch for the Temple and of course, he should build everything from scratch.
After it successfully reached a certain standard, the Beast Tamer God would help him with the Beast Sanctuary and the Temple Treasury so that the Temple Master could use them to increase his Temple Members.
'It's good that he is sending the God Apsotle alone…as long as I kill him, my [Ascending Mission] is basically completed.'
The only thing that Leo was unable to deduce was the God Apostle's strength; however, with his two [Divine Lightning Cards] along with a Level 1 Quasi-Divine Grade Contracted Beast, he thought he could kill him.
Therefore, when he heard the Beast Tamer God's orders for the God Apostle, Leo could not help but feel happy.
'In case he is very strong and I don't stand a chance, I can only escape with my contracted beasts using the [Divine Escape Cards].'
It was Leo's habit of having a backup plan if things didn't go as he expected. In that case, he decided to use the [Divine Escape Cards] which would let him escape to the other end of the World.
Even if the God Apsotle travels at his fastest speed, it would at least take a minimum of five hours and a maximum of one day.
'Even though I didn't get a lot of time, it was enough to come up with another plan.'
Leo felt he had already thought too much about it and didn't want to continue thinking about it.
'Ding,
The master has spent 100,000 units of God Energy to upgrade his Celestial Forest Howler to level 1 Quasi Divine Beast.
'Ding,
The master contracted beast, the Bloodfire Dragon King has massacred 10000 Temple Members.
'Ding,
The master has gained 85000 units of God Energy.
'Ding,
System God Space: 150000 units of God Energy.
'Ding,
Ascending Mission progress: 2.1 / 100 percent.
Soon, a series of system notifications rang in Leo's head, making him reveal a slight smile on his face.
'It looks like the Bloodfire is on fire today…hehe.'
Leo chuckled because when he split up with the Bloodfire Dragon King, he had ordered the Dragon to destroy the Beast Tamer God's Temple.
Judging from the mission progress, Leo could tell that the Bloodfire Dragon King has successfully destroyed an entire branch of the Beast Tamer God's Temple.
Since the Beast Tamer God had ordered all the Temples close to the Storm City to hunt Leo down, Leo used it to his advantage and sent the Bloodfire Dragon King to take care of those Temples.
'The Beast Tamer God must have not expected this.'
While thinking that, Leo focused on listening to the Beast Tamer God's thoughts.
[Damn it…damn it…I was too focused on this brat as he used his contracted beast to destroy another one of my branches]
[Calm down…calm down]
[As long as this brat is taken down, everything will return to its original self]
The Beast Tamer God tried his best in calming himself down as he urged his God Apostle to rush towards Leo.
As for the Temple Masters and the Temple Elders, the Beast Tamer God didn't have any intention of ordering them to take care of the Bloodfire Dragon King; instead, he wanted them to be on standby.
[Even if the God Apostle failed to kill him, I am very confident that he would severely injure that brat. At that time, I will just make them gang up on him and kill him]
[Apostle, I don't care whether you use the Trump Cards I gave or not, I want that brat dead as soon as possible]
With an assumption that Leo was being a God Apostle of a Quasi-Divine God or even higher rank God, the Beast Tamer God didn't want to take any chance as the other party might have some powerful trump cards.
….
'It looks like I got quite angry once again.'
Leo shook his head as he was just completing the [Ascending Mission] that [Heaven's Voice] had given him.
He didn't have any feud with the Beast Tamer God but after this, the other party would want him dead no matter where he would be.
'Who cares? There are already many Gods that want to kill me, adding another to that list doesn't bother me much.'
With such thoughts in his head, Leo continued to wait for the Big Boss of the world.
Even though the Biss Boss of the world is the Beast Tamer God, he could not descend onto the world and even if he could, his divine abilities would be sealed by [Heaven's Voice].
Hence, the God Apostle is the Big Boss of the world for Leo.
'Roar'
Time continued to pass and after ten minutes, Leo heard a dragon roar from the distance.
'It looks like the Big Boss is finally here.'
Leo became alert as he waited for the God Apostle to come to him.
[Super Sight]
From outside the forest, a young man around 25 years old activated his talent to check on Leo.
'A Forest-type Quasi-Divine Grade Beast? No wonder he is hiding in the forest.'
Unlike the Temple Elders and the Temple Guardians, the God Apostle didn't enter the forest as he gathered the information on Leo on his own using his talent.
"Drago, burn down the entire forest."
In the next second, he ordered the Dragon he was riding.
'Roar'
[Volcanic Flame Breath]
With a roar, the Dragon released a huge flame from its mouth to burn down the forest to make Leo's advantage disappear.
'He is good.'
On the other hand, Leo frowned for a moment; however, he didn't forget to praise the God Apostle, 'However, it is too bad that he is going to die today.'
Even though he had arranged a backup plan for his escape that doesn't mean he was not confident in killing the God Apsotle.
He jumped onto the Celestial Forest Howler and ordered it to move out of the burning forest.
"So, you are the one who was making things difficult for my Sponsored God?"
Looking at Leo who was riding his contracted Beast, the God Apostle asked with an expressionless face.
"Since you have seen me, you can die now."
Without waiting for Leo to say anything, the God Apostle ordered his contracted beast.
"Dark Basilisk King, bind the target"
'Hiss'
A huge snake-like creature appeared out of nowhere and wrapped itself around Leo.
The God Apostle learned from his Sponsered God that the target was very powerful and mysterious that might possess a lot of trump cards.
Hence, he was not careless and at the same time, he didn't give any time for Leo to use any of his trump cards.
Once he had successfully trapped Leo with his Quasi-Divine Grade Contracted Beast, the God Apostle started giving orders to his other contracted beasts.
"God's Slow Turtle, use [Slow Down]"
"Volcanic Fire Dragon King, use [Fire Meteor Rush]"
"Ancient Earth Mammoth, use [Earth Spike]."
"Thunder Hawk Emperor, use [Lightning Strike]"
In a single breath, he ordered his beasts to use their powerful skills to kill Leo.
What's more, the God Apostle was willing to sacrifice his own Contracted Beast, the Dark Basilik King, to kill Leo.
For him, the contracted beasts were nothing but a mere tool that could be used to increase his strength. As long as he could kill Leo, he could gain huge rewards from his Sponsered God.
Hence, the God Apostle didn't think much about sacrificing the Dark Basilisk King as he only focused on completing the mission.
'....Damn….it…'
Due to [Slow Down], even Leo's thoughts were slowed down as he was unable to think very fast.
'Ho..w…eve..r….it's….a…good…thing….'
Nevertheless, Leo was not worried too much as he already had a plan when he decided to come out of the Everwood forest.
'Swoosh'
'Swoosh'
'Swoosh'
Suddenly, a masked swordsman, a masked assassin, a masked martial artist and a masked healer jumped out of the God Apsotle's shadow and aimed their weapons at the heart, neck, and nose of the God Apostle's heart except for the masked healer.
"Huh?"
For a moment, the God Apostle was surprised as he hurriedly caught the incoming sword and dagger with his hands while kicking at the masked martial artist.
As for the masked healer, God's Apostle didn't bother to make a move on him as he knew that it won't have any attack skills.
The God Apostle could already tell that they were Shadow Slaves and knew what type of skills they have.
Hence, he blocked their incoming attacks and scoffed at Leo, "Such cheap tricks won't work on me."
'.....good…thing….I….made….my….shadow…slaves…'
On the other hand, Leo was yet to finish his thoughts because of the skill [Slow Down]. So, he could not even reply to the God Apostle even if he wanted to.
'Puchi'
'Rumble'
However, the masked healer attached a card on his back and in the next second, a powerful lightning descended from the heavens and landed on him and turned into ashes.
