Protagonist?Antagonist? I Reject Both

Chapter 148 148:Time For Second Round[V]

Germin felt as if his head had been struck by a huge hammer weighing several tons and his brain seemed to turn mush, due to the repeated shock waves coming from the weapon clashing, shaking him to the core. With extremely unsteady steps he struggled to get to his feet but this caused the several injuries in his arms to widen leaking blood.

But after a few spurts, blood started forming clots. He shook his head to shake off the dizziness assaulting him and let out a grimace of pain.

"Human! How are you unscathed?"

"Who said I am unscathed?"Leon put forward an amused expression."I feel like vomiting blood any moment but I am forcefully swallowing everything."

As if to prove his saying, Leon spat a few drops of blood.

"Do you want to see something more?"

Putting forward a playful smile, Leon snapped his finger.

SWOOSH!SWOOSH!SWOOSH!SWOOSH!

Shadows streaked across the ground and started dancing across the battlefield. Thick dark smoke shot out from the ground and sliced off the air.

All the goblins that crossed paths couldn't even comprehend what was happening before their bodies were ripped to shreds.

Some were decapitated on the spot, and others were cut straight from the waist down the upper half onto the ground, the bestial cry of pain emerged from them as they could only shriek and writhe in pain.

The ghost army rising from the shadows sneaked in but due to Hella's illusion, all they saw were blurry cut signs scratching the air leaving a dark trail that was further covered by a layer of smoke from flames.

However, Thane's expression changed as he could see a glimpse of humanoid figures of darkness emerging from behind the enemy, and as they fought with the humans, unaware of what lay in their back, the dark figure cut down the goblins.

"W…WhAt?"

"What kind of power is this?"Germin's eyes widened with horror as he saw his troops getting torn apart by an unknown force.

His beastly eyes slowly looked human whose shadow loomed over him.

Germin, grasping his mace tightly, gave a thrust toward Leon who raised his greatsword to defend.

KRUNG!

The head of the mace made a crunching sound from which a sharp spike shot at Leon.

CLANG!

Germin's eyes gleamed as the spike shot at Leon with extremely fast speed but before it could touch him, the greatsword much to his dismay, changed into a shield that deflected the attack.

CLANG!

The spike on colliding the great sword bounced off and fell on the ground with a thud leaving Germin bewildered and shocked as he witnessed the failure of his last trump card.

"Hmm!" Leon snorted and with a move stepped forward leaving a blur.

Before Germin could make a move, Leon channelized all his Qi to strengthen and harden his leg. With a blur, he whacked his right leg upward.

The soles of Leon's feet fiercely struck the burly goblin's jaw.

BANG!

Blood spurted from his mouth as German felt his vision became blank and he lost the sense of direction. Indistinctly he felt his body flying out and then with a spin, his face slammed onto the ground making a crack, then his body bounced off repeating the same process but at this point the pain he felt made it too difficult for him to think normally.

BANG!'

And before he could process anything, another force struck him, sending him flying in the air.

Leon's figure transformed into a blurry figure as he moved with a stomp to shoot himself.

Cutting through the air and appearing before the bulky Germin's body flying backward.

Letting go of Exitus, he nimbly caught German body in mid-air with both of his hands, and pulling himself down, he mercilessly slammed his knee downward forcing his body to fall down.

BOOM!

Germin's body crashed onto the ground with a thunderous bang sweeping dust.

"Stop!"Grave shouted in frustration dodging the incoming sword strikes while the goblins cried out in pain, being cut apart from all around.

However, Leon was too engrossed to stop and hear pleas and screams coming from behind.

"Can you feel it? I also felt this agony but I didn't scream so what about you?"

With a gruesome smile, Leon stepped over Germin's spine from behind and pulled his hand backward.

CRAAAACK....CRAACKK...

A cacophony of breaking bones, more terrifying than the miserable cries and screams of other goblins echoed.

"These hands.....Give me these hands."Leon shouted cruelly.

Trapped and pulled by Leon's hands, Germin's eyes widened and opened as much as possible as if threatening to pop out of the sockets at any time.

Germon clenched his fist and mustered strength from every fiber of his body to pull back his hands and slam down Leon, but just as he exerted his strength, the clot over his muscle burst forth along with veins.

The previous wounds that started healing, exploded spurting blood and he lost his strength as a terrifyingly cold sensation washed over his body as the bones of his spines were snapped out and bones of his rib cage broke apart.

Tears accumulated as a piercing scream automatically escaped from his mouth along with a gush of blood.

"My AAAArmmmMmmss!ArrMmm!"

"AAAAAAAARGHHHHHHHHHHHH!'

"KAARGHHHHHHHHHH!"

The cry tore through the air, a raw, guttural sound that seemed to emanate from the depths of one's soul, filled with anguish and torment, echoing with the weight of unbearable suffering that he was going through now.

Germins' screams echoed over the place and were even heard by the troops below near the entrance. That's how terrifying it was.

Everyone regardless of human or beast shuddered in fear and screams that seemed to cry of a ghost giving them a haunting nightmare.

Then with a yank, Leon roared, exerting all his strength he could muster.

Then....

BOOM!

Blood exploded bursting forth as Leon ripped apart two hands and without support, the body under Leon due to applied pressure by pressing his foot crashed on the rocky mountain ground.

Germin's face took a direct hit slamming onto the hard ground.

Teeth broke apart and shot out from Germin's jaw. His eyes were hollow, his throat was numb from the scream and his jaw was wide open, saliva mixed with blood flowed around.

Leon then felt something, raised his head and saw a few birds of similar size as sparrows flying around.

Looking at them, Leon's lips opened wide with a terrifying smile as he made a cutthroat sign over his neck.

SWOOSH!

Immediately after that, black figure of hawks passed through the sparrows decapacitating them in the mid air.

On looking back he saw Grave already on his knees.

He didn't know if Thane could defeat him one-on-one but Grave lost because of suffering emotional damage from all around.

And at his feet, Germin's body lay limp, emitting soft groans along with tears trickling down.

Leon took a deep breath and his body shuddered with a deep sense of euphoria.

"Your screams….I like it."

Then Germin's eyes moved as he saw the human raising his foot.

"K...M-Mercy...Ha-ve....Mercy."

"Mercy!"Leon muttered with a surprised look and then he chuckled softly, tilting his head.

"That's what she said."

Following the voice, Germin saw the human dropping his foot and soon a loud boom echoed in his ears that was followed by the welcome of eternal darkness greeting him with open arms.
