Chapter 2023 War Saint
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
"Grand Chess."Suddenly, a golden light erupted into the sky like that of a pillar from Heaven. The light gave warmth to those around it, but it extinguished everything inside it.
The sixteen chess pieces that had created a formation to activate the ability combined into one, fusing back into Leonardo. Leonardo activated the pillar, stimulating all sixteen chess pieces.
Leonardo created the sixteen chess pieces because he saw this world like that of a match of chess. The leader would always command the people, they would have a lot of subordinates, especially their most powerful subordinates.
Whether it was a prime minister, a president, or a CEO, their behaviors could always be predicted like a match of chess. And Leonardo, who had seen this world for as long as he could remember, could see so many moves ahead.
This time, it was no different. He checked the enemy's king while moving his pieces. And finally, once the situation was ready, he only had to use one move to checkmate.
And this would be the Grand Chess.
However, a normal person could never use every drop of their Magic Power in a single attack. Not only would it take too long for them to recharge, but using such an attack would have a huge risk, especially when they failed to kill an enemy at that time.
But Leonardo was different. He was the War Saint. His calculation, way of thinking, and information allowed him to solve the latter problem. He knew that once he used it, his enemies would die.
As for the former, Leonardo had split almost all of his Magic Power into his sixteen pieces. This would make them hard to break but also grant them strength that no one could underestimate.
But more importantly, the fact that he almost used all his Magic Power to summon each of them meant he could use all that Magic Power inside their body in a single attack, solving the first problem.
There were only two situations where Leonardo would use it. The first scenario was when he was fighting for his life. As for the second scenario, it was when he knew he would win.
Leonardo smiled because he had already envisioned his own victory. He looked at the tower of light, extinguishing anything.
The King Class Monsters tried to protect their lives with their Order, but they were simply too late. Even if they managed to use their ability fully, they wouldn't be able to withstand the attack that contained almost all of Leonardo's Magic Power.
As a result, the four King Class Monsters that chased after Rea were completely reduced to nothing.
"…" Leonardo looked up. The glowing sky affected by his Grand Chess had gradually returned. "Four King Class Monsters, huh? I want to kill more, but I guess my strength is not as powerful as my peak. I guess I'll leave the rest to the youngsters."
Leonardo felt his body was empty. He could exert a bit of Magic Power, but he might lose against a normal Mythical Rank Expert.
But due to his ability this time, he instantly became the target of the King Class Monsters.
Leonardo had expected it and turned around, ready to face the five King Class Monsters that were about to reach him. But before his body could follow his instruction, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. Sharp pain burst in his heart as Leonardo couldn't help but clench his chest and fall to his knees.
"Gah!" Leonardo spat acid from his stomach. Blood flowed out of his mouth and his eyes lost their focus.
"Sir Leonardo!" Rea, the closest one to him, shouted to warn him about the incoming danger.
The danger came from none other than the Five King Class Monsters that were supposed to fight him. They had been stalled a bit by the invisible slash from Felix, but it didn't change the fact that they were still aiming at him.
Since he had used that powerful move, the War Saint wouldn't be able to dodge this.
"No, you don't!" Rea shouted. Even without her embodiment, Rea could easily see that the five King Class Monsters planned to kill Leonardo no matter the price. He was too dangerous to be left alive.
That was why she retracted Theo's embodiment and turned into her usual dragon form to utilize that power.
*Roar!*
The dragon head behind her let out a roar to startle the five King Class Monsters.
However, the Five King Class Monsters completely ignored her as if she had never existed. It felt like they were telling her to kill them if she was capable of doing so, but they would definitely kill him.
Rea gritted her teeth and struck them with all the strength she could muster.
As expected, even though they were ready for the consequences, three King Class Monsters still planned to stop her.
*Bam!*
Their clash caused a powerful shock wave. But this shock wave had another purpose. Rea wanted to generate a powerful shock wave so that she could blow away Leonardo to save him.
But it seemed that the King Class Monster managed to see through it. Another King Class Monster came in her way and generated a shield that shifted the direction of the shock wave, causing her plan to fail.
"!!!" Rea gritted her teeth, realizing that her plan didn't work.
And the last King Class Monster finally landed in front of Leonardo. He had raised his giant paw, ready to kill him.
Despite such a danger, there was no Magic Power around Leonardo. It wasn't that he wanted to die. He simply didn't have any power that could stop this blow.
As Leonardo saw this paw coming at him, Leonardo gradually closed his eyes as if he had accepted his death.
His entire life flashed before his eyes. His life couldn't be said to be filled with joy, but there were many joyous moments that kept him going. The War God Family, all his friends, the pope… and Theo.
In the face of death, he smiled while uttering his last words. "This is truly the greatest war I have seen in my life. Unfortunately, it seems that I can't see through it…"
*Bam!*
