44 Slaughter (1/2)

During the earlier clash between the two gangs, the Fortune Soaring Hall had already been turned upside down with all sorts of broken chairs and tables, gambling chips and playing cards scattered everywhere. There was no obstruction between the two bosses as the fireball was shot straight at Leon, unimpeded.

There was only calmness in Leon's eyes as he faced the incoming fireball. With one hand raised, the fireball was stopped, albeit not as easily done as earlier in the day. The intensity of the flame was more or less at the same level, but Alroy's fireball was larger compared to Sean's. There was a stronger impact force. Nevertheless, it was still not strong enough to budge Leon's position in the slightest nor the intensity of the flame was high enough to burn his hand.

Like two magnets coming together, the fireball did not explode on impact and was quickly tamed under Leon's control.

”WHAT!?” Alroy's eyes almost popped out it's sockets. ”How is your hand not wasted!?”

The scene of Leon catching his fireball shocked him deeply. Being a 3rd step fire user, Alroy was aware that the advancement of his strength also comes with a higher degree of resistance against fire, but even he would be burned by his own fire if he did not control it properly. The other party had to be a fire user 3 steps stronger than himself to be able remain completely unscathed from his fire.

From the information provided by Calvert, the person in front of him was only around 17-18 years old. What was the concept of 6th step awakener under 20? He thought it was impossible even if he just saw it with his own eyes.

”What tricks did to you use, boy!?” Alroy questioned him aggressively, while making a defensive stance. Although he believed it was impossible for the Leon to be at the 6th step, he at least believed he was not simple and wasn't stupid enough to underestimating him. Underestimating your enemies always comes with a price.

”Tricks huh? Even if there were tricks, why should I tell you?” Leon's voice had a hint of disappointment in them. His high resistance was bolstered by his initial success 5-element body. He thought he could shatter his opponent's fighting spirit by displaying an overwhelming difference in strength. It would save him some efforts and time in killing the boss if his fighting spirit was shattered, but his way of thinking was too naive.

”…” Alroy had asked in the spur of the moment. If Leon spilled his secrets so easily just because he ask then he was an idiot. He felt stupid for asking a stupid quesiton. Alroy looked at his men and barked. ”Surround him!”

His men would not be able to put up a fight should Leon charge at them, but Alroy just wanted to give him the pressure of being surrounded.

”Futile efforts.”

In Leon's eyes, such action was pointless. A bunch of ants would not be able to shake an elephant. These people all had very dense bloody aura. A lot of innocent lives must have been lost at their hands with grievance. He wasn't going to let any of them live.

Leon raised the giant fireball high above his head. No one knew what Leon was going to do but they did not stop him. They didn't want to jump out and be the target of Leon's fireball, including the boss. Alroy didn't want to suffer from his own attack. He was ready to jump out of the way if Leon decided to toss the fireball back at him. But Alroy had some level of confidence that Leon would not do that because his own men is right behind him.

The fireball in the air started deforming and be compressed into a weird shape. It only took a few seconds before the final form of the fireball was clear. It had become a long solid fiery scythe. What could be a better weapon than a scythe for reaping lives?

”CAREFUL!!!!”

The moment Leon grabbed the scythe, Alroy immediately dropped to the floor. He tried to warn the others, but they did not have the time to react. They were all skilled fighters, but their reaction time and speed could not be compared to an awakened.

A circular swing was complete in a split second and all the men surrounding Leon was dissected in half easily like a hot knife through butter.

”Shit! Shit!! Shit!!! I'll kill you!!!” Alroy was so mad for the loss of his core members but did not make any move despite what he said. He was at a disadvantage. He could not condense a weapon of fire like Leon. The Red Salamander gang would be severely weakened after this loss. He regretted being greedy for more territory.
