After overpowering what seemed to be Miyu's Sword Spirit, the resistance that Leo felt completely disappeared as the rest of the procedure continued as normal. In return for having to put in more effort to deprive her, Miyu's expression was the worst one so far. Clara looked pained, but Miyu looked like she was watching her soul being pulled out of her. Considering that she was the team's worst, Leo initially planned to keep her conscious during the bone alteration process. However, she…-

"Oh. Did you finally think of something?" What do you humans do when they are cornered? Some beg for their lives, while others accept their fate after fighting valiantly to the very end. However, there were a few who always believed there was a way out. If Leo wanted to, he could end the whole thing at any moment, but he was looking forward to Miyu's reaction. Among everyone else, her attempt at cheating death was worth listening to. "So it was Cassian-sama. I should have seen that coming." Miyu…

'She is definitely the most normal of them all.' Compared to the surprisingly trustworthy Ken and the gullible Clara, Miyu was the only one who didn't disappoint. If he was in her place, Leo might not have changed much of what she did. The other two thought they were smart because they succeeded in tricking Aurora, but if it was anyone else who wasn't blinded by her ability, their cover would have been blown long ago. The same couldn't be said about Miyu. Regardless of her nasty personality, she…

"Maybe, but I'm going to go in anyway. Are you sure you don't want to follow me? I can't guarantee us getting out, but I will at least ensure your safety." Despite already deciding on what to do, Leo still offered the duo a chance to change their mind. Since he might not be that trustworthy, following him for the sake of clearing the Gate would be an obvious act of altruism and bravery. In addition, although it wasn't as obvious, Leo let his Enigma signals out of their confines to showcase his…

'They aren't single-minded after all.' Once Leo encountered monster corpses in his path, he was able to confirm that a human was responsible for this. After all, the precise cuts could only have been made using a sword. There was another pair on this stage, and they had actually taken the initiative to clear the challenge! 'It's probably her.' The distinct wounds and the initiative already gave Leo an idea of who he was about to encounter. Unlike how things seemed so far, not all the scammers on…

503 Second Peak 'It's starting to become a habit.' After following the Shadow Nightmare, Leo was able to clear the maze challenge without any trouble. No matter how one looked at it, one specific ability branch was becoming too useful at this point. Thankfully, the challenges that followed weren't anything exaggerated like a maze, but whenever he could, Leo relied on Shadow Nightmares to make things easier. Up until he entered this Gate, it was one of the abilities that Leo was trying to…

502 Promising Advancement 'Good expectations only.' It hadn't been that long since Leo's fourth life had started, but it didn't seem like it would be a peaceful one. Although he didn't have to undergo the grueling training of the Heavenly Furnace, he was also thrown into the middle of the story with quite a large responsibility. He didn't have to start from zero, but he couldn't let the story flow as it pleased. If anything, the City of Villains' burden was similar to that of Murim Supremacy.…

501 The Long-Winded Maze 'I should show contentment more often.' As simple as it was for one to be grateful, properly showing gratitude was in reality a very hard task. Wherever and whenever you were, true gratitude was even more rare than precious gems. If someone suffered from thirst or hunger, they would easily show gratitude if they found food or water. However, once they had grown used to these 'luxuries', they would quickly forget what they were grateful for. Instead, they would show…

500 An Educational Speedrun Once Leo stepped foot into the 12th challenge, he quelled his curiosity even more and focused on one thing. Speed! The way the challenge was structured, as well as the correct way to solve it didn't matter. As long as there was a way to finish the challenge as quickly as possible, he would pick that path. Thankfully, Leo's wide array of abilities allowed him to cheat his way through… If that could even be considered cheating. 'It sure feels like it.' It was…

'Perfect.' Seeing the half-transparent bubble being popped open, Leo smiled. His acting efforts had been rewarded with the convenience he sought. The Impenetrable Bubble might have seemed invincible, but standing next to Leo's ability, it was nothing but a paper sheet. Although Clara's ability was capable of blocking Enigma-powered attacks just like physical ones, it wasn't capable of isolating Enigma itself from entering, not when it had yet to transform into any kind of energy. Naturally,…
