96. Cassandra VS Leon (2)
Cassandra was dumbfounded by the confidence of a dying person.
The man who had been wriggling under his own magic until just now was suddenly pretending to be strong, so he couldn’t adapt.
The magic she felt from her holy sword was unusual, but she was more arrogant than anyone else. She didn’t mind the thought of being pushed.
She was the last resort and trick that the weak could do, and there was only one attitude she could take.
“Now die.”
If you add just a little bit of power to your magic like this, Leon will face an unsightly end like a frog trampled by a troll’s foot. A dirty end with the stomach bursting and the intestines spilling out in all directions.
Cassandra was secretly looking forward to seeing her. She always looks indifferent, and Leon, who seems to have transcended her humanity, screams for her to save her, and only for the moment she looks at herself pitifully.
As the force began to be applied, numerous cracks appeared in the surrounding ground as if an earthquake had occurred, and the ground Leon was leaning on began to dent as if it had been hit directly by a meteorite. It is so powerful that an ordinary human would face the end of the entire body’s bones, muscles, and flesh flattening at once.
But Leon persevered.
However, Cassandra didn’t think she was strange. In the first place, she wanted to see her expression slowly sinking into her pain, so she didn’t even apply power, and no matter how weak she was, she was still a warrior. She was rather disappointed that she had barely this much and she died.
Leon struggled to get up from his seat and glared at Cassandra with burning eyes. His eyes shining like the sun clearly revealed that he was a different person than before.
It was the first time. Excluding beings of a different dimension from himself, a person bound by the human race could endure his own power.
I wanted to trample it. The fact that she had a man withstanding her own magic, she herself did not like her. Cassandra began chanting her incantations, adding strength to the magic that was applied to Leon.
But even he couldn’t defeat Leon. The golden magic that wrapped around his body protected him from Cassandra’s magic like an armor. Something strange was going on. Cassandra looked bewildered for the first time and asked Leon.
“Why are you doing this? I know best that you don’t fit the name of a warrior. Can’t we just quietly watch the world fall apart?”
It was as she said. Leon always seemed to have no interest in other people. He always put himself first, and in the process he only saved a few people. Rather, it came to Cassandra fresh.
She obviously approached Leon because she wanted something, but it was true that she felt a connection with him.
Leon was the only one who felt that she was a human being because she had such superior abilities that she couldn’t see people as human beings.
As Cassandra’s body gradually lost strength, and at the same time, as the power of her magic gradually weakened, Leon opened her mouth.
“Yes, I’m sure it’s far from the name of a hero. I hugged a woman I didn’t like and didn’t like, and I ignored people’s screams of pain.
“But why! Can’t we just hug a girl while drinking in a village like now? Why are you pretending to be a warrior all of a sudden!”
“Why?”
Leon, who had risen completely from his seat before he knew it, opened his mouth slowly, aiming the holy sword at Cassandra.
“In this moment, to punish the real evil.”
It was absurd. Cassandra snorted her snort, then she glared straight at Leon with a chilly expression on her face.
“Really evil? That’s funny. Give it a try.”
As if to let each other know that further conversation is meaningless, Leon, holding the holy sword, swung her arm obliquely.
Cassandra hurriedly fell back, but her right wrist landed on her floor, indicating that Leon was much faster than before.
Leon brushed off her blood from her holy sword, and she spoke briefly.
“Now I can reach you.”
“What changes when you touch it?”
Leon must be well aware that such an attack is futile. But what is that reaction? It didn’t take long for Cassandra to realize her ideal.
Of course, I took a relaxed attitude believing that it would be regenerated, but something was strange.
The severed parts did not regenerate as before. Never had anything like this.
She couldn’t understand that a mere human had left such a scar on her.
Smoke rose from the severed area, followed by a burning pain. Cassandra grabbed her severed wrist and let out a scream filled with her pain.
“What the hell did you do to me!”
“I said. Punish evil.”
Cassandra was taken aback for a moment, but with one deep breath, she calmed down the waves of her emotions that soon swept over her. Replacing the agitation of emotions that had been erased like that was a quiet anger toward Leon in front of her.

For the first time, she felt her pure intent to kill others.
“Okay, then I’ll be a proper evil.”
However, she had no intention of sticking with Leon. It was she who would do anything for the sake of victory, and would not hesitate to do dirty things.
Cassandra’s fingertips headed toward a private house where screams still filled the sky.
It’s been a while, but Leon’s eyes widened and hatred filled them. Although Cassandra has an eccentric personality, she has never openly killed anyone when adventuring with herself. Cassandra’s appearance as a completely different person now made her sympathy completely disappear.
The red magic of her sword, which began to gather at Cassandra’s fingertips, instantly increased her size and radiated her ferocious aura like mad.
“I’m looking forward to what choice the proud warrior will make?”
As soon as she finished her words, Cassandra fired her sword-red magic in the direction of the house, and her magic began to slowly advance, eroding the entire land around her. At first glance, it looked like fog, and it seemed that it did not allow life to remain in its place.
“Cassandra!”
“Do you have time to say that?”
Leon looked at her head and was faced with a choice. Now she could handle Cassandra. Because Cassandra, who cannot regenerate, is made up of a weak body if she penetrates only with overwhelming firepower.
But I wasn’t sure. Cassandra was able to cut off her wrists because of her carelessness, but will Cassandra give her another chance? She borrowed the power of the holy sword, but she was an unspeakable genius born from heaven.
Uncertain possibility and certain salvation. The answer has already been decided. From the moment he unleashed the power of the Holy Sword, he was bound by the name of a hero and was in a state of unbreakable restrictions.
Leon gnawed his teeth and ran towards the house.
Leon arrived in front of the people one step ahead of the black and red magical fog, stuck his holy sword into the ground, and released the power as it was.
The holy sword and the barrier of light emanating from the ground were enough to block Cassandra’s magic, but that was all. Leono had no choice but to maintain this situation until all the people were evacuated.
And Cassandra wasn’t just watching that scene.
“You’ve become a little calmer now.”
Cassandra gathered her magical energy into her hands again with a mean smile. Her mana, which began to sharpen like an arrow, rose into the air and began to point its head at Leon.
“Let’s see how far you can last while guarding the garbage.”
As soon as the words were finished, Cassandra’s magical energy poured into Leon. It was unreasonable to avoid all of them while protecting people from the countless number of arrows of magic that covered the sky. Besides, if I leave now, the mass of magical energy that swaying in front of me will devour people.
However, I could not succumb to evil.
If she gave up here, there was no face to see her.
Isn’t that the strength you’ve been saving for this moment?
You shouldn’t have any regrets about saving someone. I couldn’t save it because I ran out of strength, so I can’t spit out such trashy excuses.
Leon’s body began to be stained with blood as he received the pouring mana, but he did not let out a single groan. He never fell to his knees, even though he suffered more than a normal human being would have fainted.
His tenacity reacted with the holy sword, drawing out more powerful power than before.
The blade of the holy sword resonated with his mana and began to vibrate, soon scattering light as intense as the sun. The light of the Holy Sword, which spread in an instant, dissipated Cassandra’s magical power and began to dwell in the bodies of the people around her.
People could know instinctively. The fact that this light will protect them. Only then did the people take care of Leon so that he would not get in his way, and when people fled, Leon was finally left alone with Cassandra.
Leon approached Cassandra with a bloody body and raised his sword again. His condition was clearly worse than before, but the energy he felt was incomparably stronger than before.
It was the first time.
I never thought that only humans would feel this way.
Cassandra put on her terrified expression for the first time and started to backtrack.
“Oh, get out of here!”
Leon didn’t say anything, but raised his sword and aimed it right at Cassandra’s heart.
“Let’s end this now. Cassandra, you are beyond my control.”
Immediately after he finished speaking, Leon tried to plunge the holy sword into Cassandra’s heart, but it didn’t work.
Puck!
Leon, who was hit right in the temple at the same time as the strong blow, fell to the ground.
Cassandra kicked Leon in the head, saw the red-haired woman standing in front of her own and began to pray on her knees like her lamb that had really been saved.
Stella said to Leon, roughly stroking Cassandra’s hair.
“I’m sorry, but even this crap still has a place to be.”
After getting up from his seat and barely calming his pounding head, Leon glared at Stella and opened her mouth.
“Sounds like you’re here…”
As expected of him.
A man appeared from behind Stella.
As soon as Leon saw him, he muttered in a small voice close to sighing.
“Ain…”
