Leo’s body had just left the ground when the ice cone fiercely struck down, plunging entirely into the ground.
At the same time, Blue Fox and Hunter Hawk charged towards Leo.
“Water Silk Binding Technique!” Water elements surged on the surface of Blue Fox’s body, transforming into numerous blue water silk threads that entangled Leo.
The water silk threads were fine and incredibly fast, almost reaching Leo in the blink of an eye.
Without a doubt, the water silk threads wrapped around Leo’s calves and both arms.
Leo shouted coldly, swung his Divine Dragon Sword with his right hand, and the sharp sword energy directly cut through the entangling water silk threads.
However, this slash had no effect. After being severed, the water silk threads reconnected in mid-air under the influence of water elements.
Around Blue Fox’s body, thousands of thin blue water silk threads formed and extended frantically towards Leo.
From a distance, they resembled countless tentacles reaching out for Leo.
Leo snorted coldly, formed a hand seal in his hand, and shouted, “Fire Dragon Technique!”
In front of Leo, his Spiritual Power condensed into a winding and swaying fire dragon.
The entire body of the fire dragon was enveloped in crimson flames, making the surrounding air scorching hot.
As soon as the fire dragon appeared, it roared towards the thousands of water silk threads extending towards Leo.
Sizzling…!
Wherever the crimson fire dragon passed, the water silk threads turned into strands of white vapor and evaporated.
After evaporating the water silk threads, the crimson color of the fire dragon dimmed slightly, but it still fiercely pounced towards Blue Fox and Hunter Hawk.
“Get lost!” Hunter Hawk shouted angrily, brandishing the flaming greatsword in his hand and slashing at the fire dragon.
Bang!
The fire dragon was struck by the greatsword and burst open, turning into a rain of flames.
“Attack together, kill him!” Hunter Hawk bellowed.
Next, Hunter Hawk wielded the flaming greatsword, Blue Fox held a blue whip, and Evil Wolf’s claws turned bone-chilling as they all launched an attack on Leo.
Leo’s eyes turned icy, his expression unwavering. He activated the Nine Heavens Star Chart, infusing his Spiritual Power into the Divine Dragon Sword.
The Divine Dragon Sword trembled incessantly, and on its blade, a dazzling icy white light burst forth.
Within the icy white light, there faintly appeared the shadow of a dragon.
Among the three assailants, Hunter Hawk, Blue Fox, and Evil Wolf, Evil Wolf’s sharp and frigid wolf claws were the first to fiercely strike at Leo’s head.
Accompanied by a clear dragon’s roar, Leo swung his Divine Dragon Sword.
The icy white light on the Divine Dragon Sword circulated, sharp and peerless, capable of cutting through anything in the world like ice and snow.
Puchi!
The Divine Dragon Sword swept across the wolf claws, causing two bloody wolf digits to fly into the air.
“Ah…!” Evil Wolf let out a miserable scream, and his massive figure staggered back two steps.
A cold arc formed at the corner of Leo’s mouth. He tapped his toes on the ground, and his figure leaped into the air like a gust of wind, reaching the same height as Evil Wolf’s wolf head.
Immediately after, the Divine Dragon Sword swung down, aiming for Evil Wolf’s head.
Bang!
The ferocious wolf head burst apart, turning into a mist of blood, and the massive wolf body collapsed to the ground.
Witnessing this scene, Hunter Hawk and Blue Fox, who were about to launch their attacks, were instantly scared out of their wits.
“Blue Fox, retreat!” Hunter Hawk, enveloped in flames, suddenly retreated backward.
Behind Hunter Hawk, a pair of flame wings sprouted, increasing his speed.
Blue Fox’s back also condensed a large amount of water elements, like a giant wave propelling them forward. The two of them swiftly flew out of the valley.
“Do you think you can escape?” Leo’s mouth curled into a cold smile.
A purple radiance flashed.
The next second, the purple light pierced through Hunter Hawk’s neck.
Hunter Hawk’s body fell to the ground as he was flying, and the crimson flames swirling around him quickly dissipated, leaving behind a lifeless body.
Blue Fox glanced back and her face turned incredibly pale. The massive blue waves surged behind her as she frantically fled from the valley.
Under Leo’s control, the Purple Radiance dagger continued its trajectory after piercing through Hunter Hawk’s neck, heading straight for Blue Fox.
Seeing Leo cleanly kill another powerful Esper from Riceland, Paxton’s eyes lit up.
Since Leo could easily kill an Esper, leaving one alive shouldn’t be a problem either.
So Paxton quickly shouted, “Mr. Bloomer, leave one alive!”
The Purple Radiance dagger made a turn in mid-air and flew directly in front of Blue Fox, with only two or three centimeters separating it from Blue Fox’s head.
As long as Blue Fox moved forward slightly or if the Purple Radiance dagger advanced a few centimeters, Blue Fox would undoubtedly die.
The fear of death paralyzed Blue Fox on the spot.
Leo’s figure flashed, and the next moment, he stood in front of Blue Fox.
“Sealing Technique.” Leo formed a hand seal with his right hand and struck Blue Fox with a seal.
The massive waves surging behind Blue Fox and the fluctuating water elements around her quickly receded and converged into her body.
Blue Fox’s face changed drastically as she felt her water-based abilities completely sealed, unable to move them in the slightest.
Leo made another hand gesture and retrieved the Purple Radiance dagger.
“What… What have you done to me? My abilities…”
Before Blue Fox could finish her sentence, Leo kicked her directly.
Leo would never show mercy to his enemies.
Blue Fox was kicked right in front of Paxton.
“Capture her,” Paxton commanded loudly.
Immediately, two special forces soldiers stepped forward and lifted Blue Fox from the ground.
Blue Fox had a fearful expression and tried to use her abilities to shake off the two soldiers, but she couldn’t activate her powers at all.
With Blue Fox captured, Paxton immediately felt relieved. He could potentially gather a lot of information from her.
“Thank you, Mr. Bloomer.” Paxton walked up to Leo with a grateful expression on his face.
Not only Paxton, but the four elders, Rowan, Zeke the commissioner, Jax, Ian, and all the soldiers present looked at Leo with gratitude.
“Mr. Gregory, you’re too kind,” Leo replied calmly.
Leo was just fulfilling Abel’s request and dealt with these people as a side task.
“Now that the matter is resolved, Commander, I’ll take my leave.”
As soon as Leo finished speaking, a strange cry came from the night sky, and the Thunder Wing Beast swooped down from above.
Paxton wanted to say something to convince Leo to stay, but he didn’t know how to express it.
Leo’s figure flickered, and he jumped onto the back of the Thunder Wing Beast.
“Salute!” Paxton shouted in a deep voice, lifting his arm powerfully.
All the soldiers present also raised their arms in unison, looking at Leo standing on the back of the Thunder Wing Beast with gratitude in their eyes.
“Farewell.” Leo stood on the back of the Thunder Wing Beast and bowed to the people below.
The Thunder Wing Beast let out a clear cry, flapped its silver wings, and flew towards the sky.
It wasn’t until the Thunder Wing Beast disappeared from sight that Paxton and the soldiers lowered their arms.
Next, Leo would head to Deep Haven City.
Sitting cross-legged on the back of the Thunder Wing Beast, Leo took out the list of werewolves given to him by Abel.
This list was the “reward” Abel gave him after Leo agreed to help him.
