At this point, Leo finally understood something.
The Gate of Repentance was actually a formation, creating an extradimensional space. To escape, he would have to defeat the monsters within this space one by one.
As expected, the colors in the stone chamber changed once again, turning red.
In the crimson light and shadows, a massive figure slowly appeared.
It was Gluttonox, of all creatures!
Gluttonox was a gluttonous divine beast, with the body of a sheep and a human face. Its eyes were under its armpits, and it had tiger teeth and human hands. It had a big head and a big mouth, known for its insatiable appetite.
Furthermore, Gluttonox was the fifth son among the nine sons of the Dragon.
When Gluttonox saw Leo, it revealed a face full of greed, with drool dripping from its mouth incessantly.
In its eyes, Leo looked like an extremely delicious meal.
This creature only knew how to eat; it was all it did.
Eating was its talent, but also its weakness.
Gluttonox seemed to be extremely hungry, opening its bloodthirsty mouth and lunging towards Leo.
While evading, Leo’s mind started racing. The best way to deal with this gluttonous divine beast was to target its weaknesses.
Leo unleashed the Mysterious Heaven Body Technique, creating distance between himself and Gluttonox, then quickly formed hand seals.
One after another, talismans took shape in the empty space before Leo.
Then, Leo gathered spiritual energy and a wolf-hair brush appeared in his hand. With continuous movements, he began painting symbols in mid-air.
Within a few breaths, he stopped and put down the brush. Then, he pointed his left hand like a sword, and a shiny golden rune appeared in front of his previously empty space with a slight movement.
Dispersing the wolf-hair brush, Leo pushed both hands forward, merging the rune with the talismans he had previously created. The golden light flashed and vanished, revealing a transparent barrier three meters in front of Leo.
The barrier connected with the walls of the stone chamber, separating Leo from the charging Gluttonox.
With a “boom,” Gluttonox crashed into the barrier, dazed and disoriented.
It stood up, shook its head, a little confused, and looked at the “food” right in front of it. Opening its huge mouth, it charged again.
Once again, there was a “boom” as Gluttonox collided with the transparent barrier.
Although the barrier trembled twice, it remained unbreakable.
Gluttonox roared, showing its teeth, and charged at the barrier once more.
This… Gluttonox doesn’t seem very intelligent.
Leo inserted the Divine Dragon Sword into the ground, then utilized a secret technique to transform it into a large green ox. With the appearance of the ox, Gluttonox became even more excited. Its face showed nothing but greed, and its drool pooled on the ground.
Leo disappeared with another teleportation technique, dissipating the barrier.
Gluttonox charged forward again, but this time it behaved, extending its head slowly to approach. After confirming there was no barrier blocking its way, it kicked its hind legs and jumped directly in front of the green ox.
First, it sniffed the ox with its nose, then opened its bloodthirsty mouth and swallowed the entire ox.
This truly surprised Leo.
After all, he had transformed the Divine Dragon Sword into a green ox right under Gluttonox’s nose, but Gluttonox disregarded everything and ate whatever it saw.
With a thought, the green ox disappeared from Gluttonox’s stomach, and the Divine Dragon Sword spun like a meat grinder inside it.
Amid Gluttonox’s wailing screams, its body was torn apart by the Divine Dragon Sword.
Gluttonox’s giant head rolled on the ground, and after a moment, it was able to move on the ground.
Next, Gluttonox’s head began to devour its own remains on the ground.
Leo felt a wave of nausea as he witnessed this scene. This guy is really a glutton; he even eats himself!
Gluttonox’s head and severed limbs slowly faded away, and the colors in the stone chamber changed once again.
This time, two different colors appeared, pink and green, mixed together.
This change made Leo tense up. The two colors probably indicated the appearance of two different monsters.
As expected, within the alternating pink and green lights, two figures gradually emerged.
The first one that caught Leo’s eye was a humanoid beast with three-foot-long teeth that resembled a chisel. It had a sharp, elongated jaw and held a large spiked club in its hand.
This monster was called Chiseltooth, known for its strong jealousy and fierce nature.
The other monster looked like a bull at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it only resembled a bull in appearance. It had a white head, a single eye, and a snake tail.
This monster was called Fei, an ancient plague beast.
Although Fei looked like a bull, it was far from being as diligent as one. On the contrary, it had a very lazy personality.
As soon as Fei appeared, it lay down on the ground. After giving Leo a glance with its single eye, it yawned and started dozing off.
Chiseltooth’s eyes flickered with a cold light, and its sharp and slender jaws were quite intimidating. It looked at Fei beside it, then took steps towards Leo.
Leo gripped the Divine Dragon Sword, his Spiritual Power surging through his body, exerting an overwhelming pressure on Chiseltooth.
Regardless of whether he could win or not, he couldn’t afford to show any weakness in terms of momentum.
However, this pressure had no effect on Chiseltooth whatsoever.
When it approached within three or four meters in front of Leo, its figure suddenly doubled in size. It then swung its club with one hand, smashing it down towards Leo.
The club emitted a sound akin to thunder and wind, and the terrifying momentum made Leo feel a sense of urgency.
Even before the club reached him, an exceptionally powerful force was already pressing down on Leo.
Leo could have dodged, but he had a sudden premonition. If he dodged, Fei, who was lying on the ground, would undoubtedly attack him. Being caught between two monsters would be dangerous.
With that thought flashing through his mind, Leo raised the Divine Dragon Sword in his hand and forcefully resisted Chiseltooth’s seemingly earth-shattering strike.
“Boom!” A deafening roar echoed as the club collided with the Divine Dragon Sword. The impact was so immense that sparks and lightning flashed along the way, and the tremendous shockwave distorted Leo’s face.
The entire stone chamber trembled twice, and Leo felt intense pain in his feet. Looking down, he saw that Chiseltooth’s club had smashed his feet into the ground.
Damn it, if it weren’t for the protection of Spiritual Power, my feet would have been crushed.
Looking back at Chiseltooth, it didn’t fare any better. Its arm shook, and the club almost slipped out of its hand. It took five or six steps back before stabilizing itself, revealing a face of astonishment.
To prevent a sudden attack from Fei, Leo quickly used a teleportation technique to escape from the ground.
Chiseltooth raised its head and roared furiously. It seemed extremely dissatisfied with not being able to smash Leo to death with a single club. It picked up the club and charged towards Leo once again.
