Sweeney remained calm, scanning his surroundings. “No matter who’s behind this, inform the captain to leave the port!”
“Alright, I’ll go.” Kimson replied, running towards the cockpit.
“You don’t have to go. I just came from there, and it seems like the captain and the sailors are asleep. It would be impolite to disturb them,” a man’s voice suddenly sounded.
Upon hearing this voice, Kimson’s feet seemed to be nailed to the deck, unable to move an inch.
Sweeney looked at the young man who suddenly appeared on the deck, his gaze becoming sharp and cold.
The person who appeared was Leo. Before coming here, he had contacted WONDER in advance.
He had arranged for the crew to be transferred so as not to involve innocent people.
Leo secretly sneaked into The Niel and put the captain and sailors to sleep before boldly appearing on the deck.
When Leo saw the Caucasian man, he knew that he was not an ordinary person but an Esper.
Kimson looked at Leo and asked, “Who are you and what are you doing here!?”
Leo sneered, “Just a dead man. There’s no need for you to know too much.”
“You…!” Kimson became furious. “Kid, today might be your last day!”
Leo dared to come here, and Kimson knew that he must be someone extraordinary. He wasn’t worried at all because Sweeney was there.
Kimson had witnessed Sweeney’s power before. To him, Sweeney was like a god-like existence.
“Hehe, kid, you’re doomed today…” Before Kimson could finish his sentence, he couldn’t speak anymore.
He felt as if something was gripping his neck, making it increasingly difficult to breathe.
He wanted to open his mouth and cry out for help from Sweeney, but he couldn’t do it. He could only plead for help with his eyes, but Sweeney just looked at him with a cold expression.
Splash!
Kimson was thrown off the deck and fell into the water.
Sweeney just stood there silently, watching everything with an indifferent expression. He had no intention of saving Kimson.
“The lapdog is dead, now it’s time for the master.”
Sweeney’s face revealed a cold smile. “You must be from WONDER. I’ve already sent two of them away recently. I don’t mind sending you to join them.”
“Who are you and why did you steal Atraria’s Cauldron Yu?” Leo asked coldly.
Sweeney sneered, “Don’t you think that question is idiotic? Why would I tell you?”
“Tell me, and maybe I’ll spare your life.”
“Hahaha…” Sweeney seemed to have heard a huge joke. Disdain filled his eyes. “Do you think you can be my opponent?”
“Mheffada said it well. Have you ever learned the word ‘humility’?” Leo mocked.
“Enough nonsense! Show me what you’ve got. I hope you won’t disappoint me!” Sweeney wasn’t foolish enough to waste time with Leo.
As soon as Sweeney finished speaking, Leo launched an attack.
Close-quarters combat, just a millimeter away!
What Leo imagined didn’t happen. He even felt the solid impact of his fist, but within that one millimeter distance, Sweeney disappeared without a trace.
Yes, he disappeared. Vanished into thin air. This was not just a concept of quick evasion.
If it was only about speed, Leo could barely see it and wouldn’t be too surprised. But Divine Awareness made it clear to him that Sweeney had disappeared in an instant right in front of his eyes.
Teleportation was similar to escape techniques, but teleportation was even faster!
Even though Leo’s Divine Awareness could lock onto him, his attacks couldn’t catch up with Sweeney’s speed, making it almost impossible to hit him.
Clearly, Leo’s kick missed.
In the instant when Leo stopped moving, Sweeney launched a counterattack using teleportation.
Leo felt a sharp pain in his back as a terrifying force struck him.
After rolling several times, Leo barely managed to stop at the edge of the deck.
Enduring the pain in his body, Leo forced himself to stand up and adjusted his internal energy.
Sweeney launched another attack, suddenly disappearing again.
Under the precise lock of his keen Divine Awareness, Leo already knew the direction of his attack. But due to Sweeney’s terrifying speed, he couldn’t dodge in time. Leo could only raise his arm to block.
Bang!
It felt like an iron hammer hitting steel as Leo’s right elbow collided with Sweeney’s right foot.
Although Sweeney’s strength was terrifying, Leo’s Spiritual Power was not weak either and managed to withstand his attack!
The next second, Sweeney and Leo distanced themselves from each other, surprise evident on Sweeney’s face.
It was unexpected that Leo could withstand his attack.
This angered Sweeney, who then launched a storm-like attack.
From above, below, left, right, front, back – attacks came from all directions!
If Sweeney fought head-on with him, it would be one thing. But he chose to play hide-and-seek – attacking from one direction and disappearing the next second.
It was like a ghost circling around him, clearly felt but impossible to catch. It made Leo feel extremely frustrated.
He could only rely on Divine Awareness and Spiritual Power to defend against Sweeney’s various attacks. Sweeney would strike at Leo and disappear as if teasing him.
Although the attacks weren’t very powerful, they were enough to keep Leo on his toes.
Being constantly on the defensive wasn’t ideal. Leo desperately sought an opportunity to break through.
After dozens of punches from Sweeney, Leo finally caught a slight opportunity.
