Chapter 62: Carried away
Leon stared at the notification with a bewildered expression on his face, he had lost count of how many times he had been stunned within the past hour.
'A ranked beast? You want me to make a fox submit and add her to my harem? What nonsense! How am I supposed to face a ranked beast?' Leon roared internally.
Ordinary savage beasts already frightened him yet this system was planning to make him go face a ranked fox?
It had always been known that multiple-tailed foxes possessed special traits; wouldn't he be sending himself to his death by going after one?
"Forget it, I might consider it. 5000 exp reward isn't too bad, I will see if the risk was worth it; moreover, there are no penalties for not completing missions," Leon mumbled softly before returning his gaze to the view in front of him.
His Senior sisters had already gone to assist the soldiers in fighting the beasts, they stood at the very front and faced more than five beasts at a time.
They waved their weapons and executed various martial techniques and let out waves of Shi, cutting down one beast after the other while moving around with inhuman speed. The beasts were unable to even touch the corner of their robes; they left afterimages around the place as they cut beasts into multiple pieces, leaving a long line of meat parts and blood behind them; their actions were very heroic and made the soldiers cheer even louder as their fighting spirits were boosted.
As for Leon, he didn't dare go to the front, afraid that he might get careless and end up in a beast's mouth.
He quietly mixed with the soldiers and fighters from the various families and fought like a real man!
With his scabbard in his left hand, Leon wielded his sword in his right hand and fought bravely.
Swish!
His sword flashed and he chopped off the paw of the bear monster that was about to attack a soldier from behind.
Blood gushed into the air as the paw of the bear was cleanly cut off and sent flying.
The beast roared and turned to look at Leon with red eyes, it rushed toward him and attacked with its other hand.
Leon swiftly dodged to the side before stabbing out, his sword piercing the jaw of the beast and coming out from the top of its head; it died with its mouth open.
Leon withdrew his sword and swung it down to get the blood off of it before turning to another monster.
He was like a swordsman playing in grass, he easily killed every monster with two or three swings of his sword. His battle wasn't as impressive as Feifei's and the others, but it still made the people around him rejoice and join him to fight more aggressively, killing the beasts quickly.
Leon was ecstatic, he had not felt this way before. People cheered for him, and he killed scary-looking beasts easily with his sword; he felt like a protagonist from a story.
For a moment, this feeling got into his head and he got carried away as he became more ferocious with his killing. By the time Leon came back to his senses, he realized that he had left the midst of the soldiers and had almost fought to the front line where his Senior sisters were dominating and he was currently surrounded by six large ants with black scales and long legs, their jaws were two meters long and had inches long jagged corners.
"How the hell did I get here?" Leon exclaimed in fright; more and more beasts were charging toward him from behind the giant ants, and he was only able to hear the voices of others; he couldn't see them!
"Dammit! I got carried away," Leon cursed as he looked around himself; he was surrounded on all sides and didn't know where to retreat to.
One of the ants suddenly screeched and jumped at him, its mandibles spread wide and prepared to snap him in half.
"Damned beast, get away from me" Leon spat in fear and anger as he jumped back and immediately slashed at the head of the ant beast after dodging its attack.
The head of the ant immediately split in two, and blood gushed out; the ant fell to the ground with a loud thud and died instantly.
Leon didn't get time to rejoice over his kill because the remaining ants screeched angrily at this moment, and all of them rushed at him at the same time from all directions.
Leon panicked; he bent his knees slightly, jumped into the air, and dodged the charge of the ants.
BAM!
The ants collided at the spot where Leon was standing just a moment ago, and their bodies made a loud sound after they clashed; they all turned and looked at Leon in the air.
Leon looked at the ant and snorted.
"Hmph! Though you could catch me? Think again." he moved his eyes away and focused on where he was about to land, only for his eyes to widen in horror.
Below him was a large scorpion with a wide mouth full of small crawling teeth and two large pincers prepared to grab Leon once he landed.
Leon clicked his tongue and cursed in his heart, for a moment, he thought that Virelok might have found him.
"No, I can't just let myself die, I have to do something!" Leon said to himself as he quickly thought of something to do. Around the scorpion were a lot of other beasts that were waiting to get a piece of him.
An idea immediately came to his mind, he could fuse his attack with Shi!
"How could I have forgotten that!" Leon smacked his forehead, he immediately prepared himself to land and stretched his scabbard at the scorpion.
Immediately after Leon got close to the ground, a large pincer came shooting toward him in mid-air; it was the scorpion!
But Leon was prepared, he used his left hand and waved his scabbard at the pincer.
A loud clang resounded as the scabbard and the pincer made contact, Leon immediately used the rebound force from the clash and pushed himself to the side.
He landed lightly on the ground and quickly rolled away as a stinger stabbed into the place the next second, many beasts were also rushing over after he landed on the ground.
"Trying to kill me? You're too ugly for that!" Leon yelled as immediately gripped the white hilt of his sword as his Shi rushed through his meridians like a tide.
BOOM!
Shi gushed out from Leon's body and entered his sword, the blade of the sword was instantly covered with Shi like liquid flames before he slashed out while spinning around.
Swoosh!!!
A large sword wave spread out from Leon's blade and formed a large circle around him before pushing out in all directions around him with Ivan at the center.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The sword wave flew out like a disc around Ivan; every beast it made contact with was immediately split in half, and their upper half fell to the ground with a fountain of blood spurting out.
The sword wave traveled for twenty meters and turned the space around Leon into a land of half corpses and blood.
For a moment, no beast attacked Leon as only dead beasts could be seen around him for a distance of twenty meters. He stood in the center of this scene with bright eyes.
"I'm powerful!"
