Book 1 Chapter 640

Leo's howling erupted from his mouth, overwhelming the surroundings.

"He's not even a real beastman…!"

"It's stronger than the howling of the Azonia guys!"

"He even uses star magic and dragon tongue magic!"

"Ah! Seriously! What can't our president do!"

Voices of exasperation poured from the 4th and 5th graders on the front line.

But even as they did so, their formation was solid.

It was clearly different from before.

'It had to be different.'

Leo's intention was clear.

To sweep away his seniors head-on.

They were initially flustered by Leo's uncharacteristic recklessness, but that was short-lived.

Once they knew their opponent was reckless, all they had to do was devise a strategy to match it.

It didn't matter if Leo's movements changed.

They knew the Leo who did that, so they could respond accordingly.

Their ability to cope with the howling also showed a different capability than before.

Howling was a kind of momentum.

It was a technique that pounded momentum into the opponent's body through hearing.

The method to counter such howling was simple.

To raise one's own momentum against the opponent's.

"Haaap!"

"Fuu!"

"Hryaap!"

"A girl going 'Hryaap!' What is that! Hryap!"

"Shut up!"

Leo chuckled as he watched the 4th and 5th graders shake off their momentum by shouting.

Looking at them, Lumern students are indeed Lumern students.

'I still have some room to spare.'

Seeing the reinforced front line, Leo raised his sword.

Wuuung-!

Gray aura scattered around Leo's body.

Seeing Leo's aura, the front-line soldiers' expressions tensed.

It was already famous that Leo could handle auras of various attributes.

Among them, the most destructive was Zerdinger's flame.

But now the students of Lumern knew.

Leo was at his strongest when he unleashed that gray aura.

"Come to think of it, that aura… doesn't it resemble Kyle's aura?"

"That guy is an all-class, just like Kyle."

"Well. Do all-class ability users have the same aura?"

'I'm Kyle.'

Leo let out a hollow laugh and muttered inwardly, but he couldn't just say it.

'Well, I don't plan to fight with my own techniques today.'

The gray aura began to turn golden.

Golden light erupted from Leo's red eyes.

Seeing that, the front-line soldiers' complexions changed.

Thump-!

Leo gathered his aura and slashed his sword towards the sky.

Swish-!

A crescent-shaped golden sword energy flew into the sky.

The students positioned in the rear raised their heads to see it.

"What is it? Where did it fly?"

"Isn't that going to fall as is?"

As everyone looked on in confusion.

The golden sword energy that soared into the sky exploded.

And then…

Kuugugugugugag-!

"……!"

"What is this!"

"Mages! Deploy shield magic!"

A rain of sword energy began to fall from the sky.

Sword Rain.

It was a technique that Arion often used when fighting multiple enemies, literally a technique where sword energy fell like rain.

'When Arion uses it, it really pours down like a shower.'

He could feel the 4th and 5th graders panicking from the completely unexpected attack.

"Takon! I think it's best to retreat the defense line for now!"

"No! That's what Leo wants! If the front breaks through like this, the rear will simply collapse to him!"

To Niel's words, Eren said urgently.

There was no student among the 4th and 5th graders who could support Leo while keeping up with his speed.

Hearing their conversation, Takon said, gripping his shield tightly.

"Stop Leo!"

At his words, the front line took their positions.

Leo continued to charge without slowing down.

Whoosh-!

Golden flames appeared around Leo's body and then disappeared.

"Wait! Why isn't he slowing down?"

"Is he planning to crash into us like this?"

"No way! Even Leo will clearly be trampled like this!"

While flustered, they quickly adjusted their weapons.

Just then, a female student heavily armed in heavy armor stepped forward in front of Leo, brandishing her mace.

And she swung her mace towards Leo, who was running straight at her.

An attack with enough power to turn even rocks into dust with just a graze.

However, she knew this attack wouldn't work on Leo.

'There's no way this would work!'

She thought he would dodge the attack and then exploit the opening to attack her.

Normally, she should have pushed Leo back with her shield, not attacked, but she had changed the order.

'If he dodges my attack, I'll push him back with my shield!'

As she thought this and gripped her shield, the face of the 4th-grade knight student was filled with shock for a moment.

'Huh? He's not dodging?'

In her eyes, she felt the mace slowly heading towards Leo's forehead.

Thinking he might dodge at the last moment, she tensed up.

Thump-

The mace touched Leo.

"Huh?"

The female student, who couldn't have expected her attack to hit Leo, let out a blank sound.

Crack-!

The mace broke cleanly against Leo.

Leo struck the female student who attacked him away with his arm.

Thwack-!

"Gyaak?!"

She was sent flying to the ground in a miserable heap.

Starting with that…

Kwakagag-!

"Ugh!"

"Gek?!"

Like a tank storming into an infantry unit.

Knight students began to be sent flying by Leo.

When they attacked, their attacks were simply repelled.

Not a single scratch appeared on Leo's body.

"What is this! Why isn't the attack working… Gek!"

A 5th-grade knight student was hit by Leo and sent soaring into the sky.

What Leo was wearing on his body now was Dwenow's aura.

They didn't know it, but they were facing a part of Arion, the strongest warrior in history, and Dwenow, the best vanguard.

Arion's and Dwenow's techniques and powers far surpassed the expectations of the 4th and 5th graders.

The strategy against Leo had been flawed from the beginning.

Fwoosh-

Leo smiled as he looked at the flames of aura that erupted in front of him.

"You can't go any further!"

The front line hadn't been broken through yet.

The formation was disrupted by Leo's reckless charge, but it hadn't collapsed.

If they could just stop Leo even once, they could proceed according to the plan.

For that purpose, Niel blocked Leo's path.

In this type of charge attack, if the speed and momentum decrease, it will eventually be stopped.

And Niel, as a user of flame aura, had the highest pure attack power among the 5th graders.

Beside such Niel, Takon blocked with twin swords.

Takon, wrapped in wind aura.

"I'll cover you, Niel."

"Please."

Fire and wind aura. Their compatibility is very good.

If Niel makes a big attack, Takon will complement it to eliminate any openings and pressure Leo.

Even if Niel and Takon bickered, they weren't so uncoordinated that they wouldn't work together at this moment.

If that were the case, they wouldn't have remained the top of their department for four years in the same grade.

'Currently, the top two in Lumern's Knight Department.'

Compared to Ris and Hark in their 5th year, the two were clearly lacking.

But that was in comparison to those two.

The two of them were not weak.

And they were strong enough to subdue Leo's momentum.

Leo was also currently surrounded.

It would be problematic if his momentum broke here.

Gooooo-!

Students gathered around to cover Niel and Takon.

Seeing that, Leo smiled.

"Senior Niel, when are you getting married?"

"Huh?"

Niel's face was filled with surprise for a moment.

Seeing that, Takon flinched.

"Niel! Focus for now!"

"Haa?!"

Niel, who had flinched, was about to swing his sword, but Leo was faster, grabbing Niel by the neck.

"Kuk!"

Niel tried to shake Leo off.

But Leo was faster, pushing Niel all the way to Takon.

Leo bypassed the two who fell tangled together, and ran on without slowing down.

"Why did you flinch, Niel!"

'I've been tricked!'

Niel, realizing that Leo had used spirit magic to speak only to him, gritted his teeth and jumped up from his spot.

'To be tricked like this, it's not like Lord Leo!'

That's why he was tricked.

It could be considered cowardly, but in this situation, it was his own inexperience that led to such a mistake.

Kwang-!

"Kyaak!"

"It's broken through!"

"Block it!"

"What is so tough!"

Screams erupted from all around.

In that situation, Leo raised his hand.

Black magic flickered from his hand.

Thwack-!

Leo slammed his hand on the ground.

As the knight students trying to pursue Leo stepped on it, a black aura shimmered on the ground, holding their feet.

"What is this!"

"Dragon tongue magic?!"

'Shadow Swamp.'

It was magic used by Lisinas.

Leo's red eyes, which had ensnared the knight students' feet, turned towards the mages who were preparing to cast spells.

They tried to respond calmly.

But…

Gooooo-!

Star magic raged around Leo's body.

Leo quickly finished chanting and unleashed his magic.

"Lux Fragment."

Keeing-!

Star fragments scattered in all directions.

This was also magic that Luna often used when fighting multiple enemies.

Fawabat!

"Kuk!"

"Block it!"

"What in the world is this magic!"

"Leo! Did you create unique magic again?!"

"Damn it! The aura skill and aura armor from before were also completely new!"

No.

Neither the aura skills nor the magic.

They all belonged to Arion, Dwenow, Lisinas, and Luna, not Leo.

Unknown abilities far beyond their comprehension.

That's why, from the perspective of the 4th and 5th graders, the current Leo was an unknown enemy.

And not just a powerful enemy.

A being that far surpassed their common sense.

The unity of the 4th and 5th graders appeared solid.

Therefore, it wouldn't easily break even if shaken.

Even if they took a strong hit, it wouldn't break immediately.

It would only gradually weaken their unity.

But.

When faced with one unknown after another.

"Takon! What are you doing! Command properly!"

"Aden! What's the next plan!"

"You! Hurry up and stop Leo!"

"Can't you see I can't move right now?!"

"What? Are you talking back to your senior right now?!"

It collapsed rapidly.

A pathetic sight, unbelievable for 4th and 5th graders.

However, no matter how talented the individuals in a group, they would end up like this if their individual unity was insufficient.

Unity is forged by strengthening through conflict.

Only by clearly understanding not only the strengths but also the weaknesses of the other person can they truly work in unison.

But the 4th and 5th graders had never pondered that for a long time.

'Because all they had to do was follow one person's words.'

Runba bit his lip tightly.

It collapsed much faster than he had anticipated.

"I can't believe we're in this state without even being able to fight back. But this is too much."

As Runba felt impatience, Leo stood in front of Runba.

"Do you know that generally, the 4th and 5th graders are similar to Senior Runba?"

"What?"

Leo said with a wry smile.

"Seniors lack the fighting spirit to strive upwards."
