528 Long-Awaited Collapse, Final Challenge Cleared! The inanimate tower seemed to have a mind of its own, pouring all of its piercing Aura onto Leo's body. However, let alone backing down, Leo didn't even flinch. 'Your turn.' What was there to be scared of when facing a powerless building? Regardless of its mysterious Final Phase, the Encroachment Tower was now completely defenseless. This limited Free Attack Phase was the only justice that the Challengers received, and Leo was going to make…-

In order to perfectly enact his plan, there were two tasks that Leo had to accomplish. 'A clean finish.' Firstly, he had to take down the bloody abomination in as little time as possible, and secondly, he had to demolish the well-constructed Encroachment Tower in even less time than that. While Leo couldn't exactly gauge the difficulty of the second task based on the vague explanation he read, it was a different story when it came to the living beast standing in front of him. Its Aura, Energy Signal,…

Roarrrrrr! 'Finally.' What was once a huge red blob had now taken the shape of something much more fearsome. A giant mass of hostility. At first, there was a lion's face, then it became that of a tiger, a wolf… By the time its face stopped changing, even the chimera that Leo read about in other books looked more natural than the thing he had to face. 'I feel sorry for the gargoyles.' The deformed Gargoyles might have looked too ugly compared to Murim's chiseled monsters, but only something like this…

Arguably, the heroic act that Leo was engaging in right now, was saving the world rather than saving Aurora. However, since she was the one who would be sacrificed if no one had a fighting chance at the very, this was no different from saving her. Regardless, aside from glancing at the tower every minute or so, Leo put his whole focus into piercing and cutting. Just like proper cannon fodder, the monsters kept serving themselves to him. Even if they couldn't hurt Leo, delaying him was more than enough…

Roar! The monsters' cries were even louder this time around, and the numbers that rushed out were multiplied in two. However, there was no fear on Leo's face, only impatience. 'I need to end this as quickly as possible.' Even more than the initial challenges where the ratio of increase was diluted, the Final Challenge wasn't something that could be dealt with lazily! The number at the center of Encroachment Tower was rising in real-time, threatening to achieve completion if swift action wasn't…

'Sure enough, a lot has changed, but this is still the same.' As the spherical barrier started dissipating, a towering pillar was quickly revealed before Leo's eyes. The structure's design and decorations looked masterfully crafted, but the Aura exuding from it was anything but elegant! An invasive will to conquer! Just by looking at the tower, Leo felt as if something pierced his heart, trying to take over his entire body. 'The reason everything started.' The sensation that Leo was experiencing at the…

Faced by the shadow of her teammate, Aurora couldn't get herself to do anything. Every hateful world that the darkened reflection spat held some truth. She had been overconfident enough that she could protect everyone until they grew into the ultimate defenders of humanity, but it was all just a pipe dream. 'I'm sorry.' To the dead Mark, to her hurt companions… Aurora let out an all-encompassing apology as she shed her guilt. She knew that unspoken words weren't worthy of forgiveness. However, the one…

"Gahhh!" 'Is her ability somewhat similar to Miyu?' For some reason, Tina seemed to be the most affected by the Special Ability Deprivation process. Although her ability didn't show any resistance like Miyu's did, the visual expression of pain was almost at the same level. There was also the possibility that Tina's reaction was amplified by her fear, but as the person who dug deep and squashed the ability into nothing, he believed that Tina had a stronger connection with her ability. As a farmer…

'This is working even better than I expected.' As shaken as Aurora was by Leo's first reveal, she was still able to come to her senses and attempt to initiate an attack. However, faced by Clara's Nightmare, she was frozen in place even as the vengeful porter was coming right at her. '...Would it be possible in this state?' Contemplating something, Leo paused in place for a second as he snapped his fingers a second time. Just as he was about to personally handle Tina as he did with Ken, an interesting…

'What is a nightmare?' Ever since obtaining Cassian's abilities, this was a constant question that remained on Leo's mind. Just what did Shadow Nightmare represent? At first, he had more than one plausible theory, but as he used the ability further, Leo realized that none of his theories could be proven in their entirety. At times, the Shadow Nightmares broke through the limitations that he envisioned, and at other times, they failed to live up to his specific expectations. Even then, Leo didn't give…
