The Sword That Opened the Heavenly Gate
Leon understood.
The Dark Body was dangerous.
But dangerous did not mean invincible.
There was always a weakness.
And Leon had already begun searching for it.
Gareth saw the smile on his face.
His heart trembled.
A strange uneasiness spread through his chest.
His blood-red eyes narrowed.
Then anger replaced the uncertainty.
His expression became vicious.
"Kid, what are you laughing at?"
Leon looked at him.
His smile did not disappear.
Instead, it became slightly deeper.
"I'm laughing at you, lying to yourself…"
The words were quiet.
Yet they struck Gareth harder than any sword.
His face darkened instantly.
His blood energy exploded outward.
"Arrogant!"
Gareth was furious.
The surrounding darkness surged violently, as if responding to his anger.
But Leon remained calm.
He did not retreat.
He simply stood in the air and looked at Gareth with those calm purple eyes.
Then he continued.
