"Well done, Harley!" Han Jin nodded his head slowly.
This was probably the first time Han Jin had praised Harley's results in such a tone. Harley was so excited that he shook his head and smiled foolishly, unable to say a word.
In the magic laboratory, dense fire elements flowed quietly, and the flashing red light gave off a sticky feeling. Han Jin slowly extended his left hand, paused for a moment, and then began to conjure a spell.
The word "calamity" in his palm suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and the fire elements flowing in all directions seemed to be summoned, slowly squeezing over from all directions.
Han Jin's expression became especially solemn. Although his Heavenly Apocalyptic Fire was only a few fire elements away from completion, the last step was also the most crucial one. Many powerful magic weapons or life forms would be repelled by the laws of nature when they were formed. In the words of another world, it was to steal the fortune of the heavens and earth, invade the mysteries of the sun and moon, and not be tolerated by ghosts and gods!
It was different from the Heavenly Dao, which was tempered by the Heavenly Tribulations. He had already triggered the backlash of the heavens and earth, and this was the first time he had personally created a talisman that could kill gods and buddhas. Although it was not a true magic treasure, and the scale of the backlash should be much smaller, he still did not dare to be careless.
Suddenly, Han Jin's palm emitted a red light, which then turned orange, and then immediately turned golden. The light flame was retracted, and quickly collapsed into Han Jin's palm, finally turning into a thick black. The entire magic laboratory was suddenly pitch-black, and only the countless crystals of ignition elements could be seen floating in the air.
Harley was shocked. He looked around, but found that Han Jin's figure had already disappeared. He knew that Han Jin was creating a magic tool, so he suppressed the urge to speak and kept his mouth shut.
Outside the God of War, the darkness was quickly spreading, and the biggest impact was in the city hall of Esnorly City. Kemorazi and Honduras held a grand banquet to entertain their allies. Suddenly, the entire hall became pitch black. Everyone could see the magic lamps on the walls and the candles on the dining table, but they could not see each other. It was as if everyone except themselves had disappeared, or they had suddenly been projected into another strange world.
"What? What's going on? "Honduras couldn't help but exclaim.
Honduras's call was timely. Everyone heard Honduras's voice and felt a little relieved. If there was no movement for a long time, most people would probably be scared.
"Is Harley casting the spell?" Green asked slowly.
"I don't smell any rotting bones." Adolf replied. He didn't want to attend this banquet, but Kemorazi, Honduras, and the others had invited him. Although he didn't care about their feelings, Han Jin had spoken, so he had no choice but to reluctantly come.
"I've never seen this kind of magic before …" Majordomo Gail murmured, "It should be … what is Lord Raphael doing?"
"It's possible," Gao Bin said.
Gerrin raised his right hand and cast Illumination. A spot of light flickered in the hall before disappearing. It was still pitch black.
"Ha … interesting." Green couldn't help but laugh.
The powerhouses found this phenomenon interesting, but the civilians couldn't. The black veil had enveloped the whole city, taking away all the light. The adults could still barely keep calm, but some children were scared. They either hid in their parents' arms or simply cried out loud.
The repaired wizard towers in Esnorly City were activated one after another, but the magic circle couldn't stop the invasion of the black veil. Soon, the camp of the Tribal Alliance outside the city was also affected. The soldiers could see the flames on the torches, but they couldn't see any light. After being stunned for a moment, the soldiers pulled out their weapons one after another. The sound of weapons clashing could be heard in every corner. The herds of armored bulls also snorted uneasily. The wyverns spread their wings in fear, but they didn't dare to fly. They could only roar.
If the black veil lasted a little longer, who knew what would happen. Fortunately, the black veil faded little by little after a dozen breaths, and light returned to the world.
In the magic lab, Harley could finally see Han Jin. In such a short time, Harley found that Han Jin's face had changed greatly. A row of small beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his frozen fingertips were trembling slightly.
"Master …" Harley whispered.
"It's okay." Han Jin let out a long breath, but his eyes still looked a little dazed. It seemed that he hadn't recovered yet.
In Esnorly City, a figure also let out a long breath and murmured, "Is this magic from another plane …" The black veil was so strange that he forgot what he was going to do and that the target was just a few meters away from him.
"Who is it?" A few warriors of the Tribal Alliance turned around and shouted.
Leonardo smiled and rushed forward. The tip of his foot touched the back of the armored bull's waist, and the short sword in his hand swept towards the bull Knight's face like lightning.
The bull Knight didn't dodge the attack. Instead, he crossed his hands and used the handle of his mace to stab at Leonardo's chest.
However, the bull Knight's movements were clearly slower than Leonardo's. As soon as the mace stabbed out, the back of Leonardo's sword had already slapped his cheek. With a crisp sound, the bull Knight fell off the bull's back.
Leonardo's figure disappeared and reappeared beside another bull Knight. He lightly bumped his shoulder, and the bull Knight couldn't help but roll diagonally to the ground.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack … "The first bull Knight to fall on the ground roared, but his words were not clear." Abyssal demon … "
The bull Knight's warning spread far and wide in the night. The camp of the Tribal Alliance immediately became lively. The God of War in Esnorly City also rose little by little. However, Leonardo didn't seem to be in a hurry. He took down the bull Knights one by one. However, it seemed that he didn't intend to kill them. He punched and kicked them, and the short sword in his hand seemed to be useless.
In such an unexpected situation, who would be the first to act? The answer was self-evident. Han Jin. He moved the fastest, and he didn't want his friends to face unknown dangers. Regardless of whether he could handle it or not, he would try his best to take it on himself.
Moments later, Han Jin's figure appeared in the distance. Leonardo no longer hesitated. He turned around and used Instant Transmission to escape into the distance.
One chased while the other fled. The distance between the two narrowed. Although they belonged to different factions and hated each other, their expressions were exactly the same. They both had a faint smile on their faces. Han Jin obviously wanted to kill the other to make up for his regret. Leonardo, on the other hand, was smiling at this moment. He must have his own reasons.
When the distance between the two was less than 500 meters, Leonardo suddenly changed direction and appeared on a small hill. He then turned around and sheathed his short sword, quietly waiting for Han Jin's arrival.
Han Jin's figure flashed, and he appeared more than 10 meters away from Leonardo. He was holding a flaming long sword. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Why aren't you running anymore?"
"I didn't want to run at all," Leonardo replied softly.
"Is that so …" Han Jin said casually. "I like your choice." As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly raised the long sword in his hand.
"You misunderstand." Leonardo's expression didn't change, but his tense body revealed his nervousness. "To be honest, I'm here to seek refuge with you."
"Seek refuge with me?" Han Jin was a bit surprised. His long sword suddenly froze in the air. He then laughed. "Don't you think it's a bit funny?"
"I have no other choice." Leonardo smiled bitterly. "You're the one who forced me into this desperate situation."
"Did I force you?" Han Jin said calmly. "Do you need me to apologize?"
"My brothers were all killed by you." Leonardo's voice became very low. "Ha … I only have one life. I don't want to risk my father's anger."
"I'm the murderer. Your father should be looking for me. It has nothing to do with you, right?" Han Jin said with a smile.
"If it wasn't for me, they would've waited for the Flame Tyrant to arrive before attacking. Do you understand what I mean?"
Han Jin was really stunned this time. After a while, he slowly said, "You're despicable!"
"No, I'm already very merciful." Leonardo's expression became very complicated. "In their eyes, I'm just a despicable bastard. You don't know, no matter how many people there are around, no matter what the situation is, they'll always think of ways to humiliate me. Bastard … is my name! Haha … I admit that they're telling the truth, but I have my own dignity, don't I? Also, I didn't really want to kill them. I just wanted them to have a taste of their own medicine. Who would've thought that … you have such terrifying power. Even the Great Demon of the Abyss couldn't escape. "
Han Jin's gaze slowly moved away from Leonardo and looked at the night sky. After a moment of silence, he said softly, "Seeking refuge with me might not be a good choice."
"You mean …" Leonardo was shocked.
"You should hide in a place where no one can find you. That's the only way to ensure your safety."
"Haha … I'm the only one. If I hide in a corner, no one will notice me. I'll also do my best to avoid anyone's sight. When I die, the falling leaves will quietly bury me …" Leonardo laughed. "May I ask, is that living? Have I really lived before?! "
"Looks like … you don't want to be lonely," Han Jin said calmly.
"If I could choose, who would want to be lonely?" Leonardo asked.
"Why should I trust you?" Han Jin said. "Also, since you're brothers, why do they hate you?"
"I can't answer the first question. It's up to you. As for the second question …" Leonardo was silent for a moment. "I'm indeed a bastard, and I'm too popular. Not long after I was born, I attracted Donald's attention. That's why he took me as his godson."
"Just after you were born?"
Leonardo fell silent again. Obviously, he didn't want to talk about this. However, if he wanted to gain Han Jin's trust, he couldn't avoid it. After a while, Leonardo slowly said, "I've never seen my real father and mother. I only know that my mother is an Abyss Demon. When I was born, she was already the wife of a Demon Warrior. So, I'm a proof, an ugly proof of betrayal. Not long after I was born, my nominal father came back and found me. Then, something happened. He wanted to kill me. That's nothing. If it were me, I would have killed the child too. But … demons aren't allowed to kill each other. Otherwise, they'll be cursed by the Grim Reaper. I also have demon blood in my body …"
"And then?"
"He threw me into the magma, haha … In the end, I had a lot of fun in the magma, and he was very shocked. Of course, this was just my own guess, because he should have already known who my biological father was by then, but … He still wanted to kill me, and then he took me into the air and threw me down, haha … Guess what happened?" Before Han Jin could say anything, Leonardo had already continued, "I can't believe I used teleportation! God … I didn't know anything at that time. I didn't even have any memories of that period. Everything was based on my instincts. Coincidentally, Donald happened to pass by nearby and saw this scene. He stopped my nominal father. "
"Continue."
"My poor father …" Leonardo let out a long sigh. "He must have been so angry that he even raised his scythe at Lord Donald. He must have made up his mind to kill me. He would rather be cursed. No matter who tried to stop him, they were all his enemies. “
"Donald killed him?"
"No, Donald only chopped off his right hand." Leonardo was silent for a moment before continuing, "Although Lord Donald was merciful, this was unacceptable for a demon warrior. Not only did he lose his ability to fight, but he also couldn't wash away his shame. So, a few days later, during a clan meeting, he did something shocking. He … he used his scythe to cut off his own neck in front of countless people. I understand that he used this method as a final struggle, but … my real mother couldn't accept this result. She also couldn't bear the strange looks of the people. A few days later, she also committed suicide."
"Was it Donald who raised you?"
"You can say that." Leonardo nodded. "You should be able to imagine that I didn't have a good time when I was young. Not only was I an ugly proof, but I was also an ominous symbol. I tried my best to become stronger to change their impression of me. I succeeded, but I also failed. Indeed, I gained the favor and respect of many strong people, but in the demon race, they still hate me. No matter how much I did and how well I did, they still looked at me with disdain. There are some things I've been thinking about. If I could go back in time, if I had enough power, would I have refused to be born? Ha … This is a problem. It's really a problem … "
"If that's the case … Donald must have been under a lot of pressure because of you. Don't you feel guilty about betraying him now?" Han Jin asked. He had been observing Leonardo's expression. If there was anything wrong, he would immediately raise his sword and kill him. However, Leonardo's eyes were very clear. When he talked about the past, the pain and sorrow in his eyes were very real. He shouldn't be lying.
"Donald was only interested in my dual talents. He wanted me to become a blade in the hands of the princes …" Leonardo's tone suddenly became a bit agitated. "Actually, I didn't want to reject the fate that Donald had planned for me. As long as the princes treated me with a bit of sincerity and respect, let alone being a blade, I would even kneel down and lick their toes. As long as I received true recognition, haha … Unfortunately, they still hate me, especially that Richard. He actually provoked me and forced me to duel with him. That was the first time I resisted! I blinded one of his eyes. What an idiot … He was too weak, and he wanted to challenge me? Heh heh heh … "Leonardo let out a maniacal laugh.
"How do you know that I won't kill you?" Han Jin said indifferently. "Or do you have enough confidence in yourself?"
"A dead Leonardo is just a pile of worthless meat, but a living Leonardo can bring you many surprises," Leonardo said softly. Leonardo said softly, "In order to make my blade sharper, Donald gave me the Purple Hell Flower to control. Do you know what this means? Everything about the Abyss World is no longer a secret to you! "
Even though Han Jin's nerves were as tough as steel, when he heard Leonardo's words, the long sword in his hand couldn't help but tremble slightly. "What did you say? The Hell Purple Flower? "
"That's right, my lord. You must know of their existence, right?"
"The secret of the Abyss World … is indeed very attractive." Han Jin smiled, then his gaze fell on Leonardo. "But I still don't understand. Since Donald gave you the Hell Purple Flower, it means that you have superhuman abilities and intelligence. Why did you do such a stupid thing? Did you deliberately frame your brothers? Don't you know that this is far beyond Donald's bottom line? "
"Because I lived too hard when I was young. When I rebelled against fate for the first time, it went too smoothly. Hehe … I blinded Richard, but Lord Donald didn't reprimand me. Instead, he beat Richard up. From then on, no one dared to go against me. Even the princes had to give in to me." Leonardo smiled. "So, I lost myself. Lord Donald was really good to me. I thought that I had enough qualifications to stand firm in the demon race. I even thought that if something really happened to the princes, I would become Lord Donald's only successor. Unfortunately, hehe … Dreams are too beautiful, but reality is too cruel. Only now do I know that I'm only fit to be a shadow and can never be my true master."
