High Priest Enoch was also alarmed by the sudden attack. This completely disrupted their initial plans to let the Temple step aside and keep the mysterious Raven from suspecting that they already knew the whereabouts of the Subject of the Oracle.
"Such a large-scale attack, how can we hold back and let the lives of the innocent people be lost!" High Priest Enoch summoned the Temple Knights and immediately ordered them to assist the Imperial Knights.
Led by the vice-captains Joab and Keren, the Temple Knights took their armors and weapons and headed into the explosion sites, immediately asking for correspondence with General Farauld who leads the Imperial Knights.
Leon immediately rushed towards the explosion site upon hearing the rumblings.
Unlike the others, he somehow mentally prepared himself for this kind of retaliation. He also repeatedly emphasized this matter to his Father Emperor and Teacher, General Farauld.
However, who would be able to keep calm knowing that people would really die when the enemies go crazy? Who could just keep calm and accept that?!
Thus Leon did not hold back and immediately moved to locate the attacker.
He was not able to even rally the Crimson and Roaming Blades and just prayed that Olivier, Blaze, and the higher officers of the Roaming Blades already knew what to do with this situation.
However, as he looked at the explosions, he was devastated. The explosions were scattered randomly, spanning from the central district to the outskirts. It was impossible to immediately determine where the perpetrator was.
With his devourer abilities in S Class, he stood on a random roof and immediately directed his mana to enhance his hearing.
10-meter radius, 50-meter radius… All the nuisance sound, agonizing screams, and random chatter invaded his mind, almost driving him insane.
"No can do… I need to locate the perpetrator…" He persevered even if the cold beads of sweat were already rolling on his forehead.
75-meter radius… 100-meter radius… 300 meters… 5oo meters!!!
The stinging pain had already assaulted his head, it was so painful that he wanted to stop his search outright. "C'mon… where are you, sinners…" He gritted his teeth. The desperate measure to locate the perpetrator was never this painful but he needed all the time he could save in searching for him.
600 meters… 80o meters… 1 km…!!!
"Puff!!" Leon couldn't take anymore and immediately let out a mouthful of blood, his ears were also bleeding at this stage.
It was too much for him to listen to all the sounds that were within a kilometer radius even with his S Class devourer abilities, for it was simply the limits for a human being.
However, he did not stop right there. Even if his vision was already getting dizzy, he maintained hearing from a one-kilometer radius and started to head towards the nearest explosion site. With this, he can try to expand his hearing range by moving.
After moving for a few minutes, he heard a crazed and delightful laugh amongst the sea of screams and agony. He could recognize this voice, it was Roman! The dark knight was working as his father's aide.
"He is at the watchtower!!" He wiped the blood off his face and immediately locked Roman's direction. His eyes were filled with rage towards the dark knight, however, he had to keep calm and not let his emotions affect his fighting.
To give his body a few seconds to recover from pushing his devourer abilities to his limits, he used his summoning powers to call upon a wind fairy, Avion.
The wind fairy Avion was simply a little fairy creature with a little round phantom body but with cute yellow eyes similar to Biggie, who was an earth fairy.
"Avion, will you take me to that watchtower while I try to heal on the way?" Leon asked the little round wind fairy.
"Whooooo!" Avion's yellow eyes became rounder as if communicating to Leon that he understood his orders.
After that, a strong yet gentle wind enveloped Leon and steadily lifted him up in the air. Then he hovered on Leon's shoulders and started to move in the direction Leon ordered.
While moving towards the watchtower, Leon took the healing potion he got from Kayden. Roman as a dark knight might be like Hasta who had a spirit fragment in his body. He will not underestimate this opponent even if he was already an S Class mage.
However, what bothers him the most was that, if he was forced to move like this on a large scale, the remaining knights, Das, Visam, and Callan might also be making their own moves.
What could their goal be?
However, there can only be one thing that he could do right now, and that was to stop Roman from hurting the innocent people as soon as possible.
Finally arriving at the site, he did not directly confront the crazed Roman but he observed him for a few seconds at a considerable distance.
There he witnessed that the reason why Roman was actually having a good time while killing people was that he was actually absorbing the victim's life essence!
"Not good!" Realizing what was actually happening, he finally took his notification papers and quickly sent the information and warning to all of the key people of the Empire.
They had to be prepared for the other three knights who might be doing the same. They must at all costs try to stop them from absorbing their essences!
From the time of the explosion up to this moment, five minutes have passed. Leon had estimated that Roman has already absorbed a considerable amount of essence to replenish himself from using his cursed power.
But he was not able to determine if it was more than enough for him to enhance his strength.
Considering the possibility of a large-scale fight, Leon scanned the surrounding terrain and determined to force Roman to a place where there would be no people. With that, he retracted his summons with Avion and immediately dashed forward to interrupt Roman's absorbing innocent lives.
Sensing the threat coming toward him, Roman immediately turned his head towards the direction Leon was coming from.
Seeing that it was Leon, he looked at him condescendingly and tried to dismiss him with a wave of a hand. He was just a trash prince with good fighting and survival skills which made him alive even after being on the battlefield for a long time.
However, he had no way to know that Leon who was charging at him wielded the might of an S Class devourer.
As Leon's charging figure approached, he casually waved his hands while using a little bit of his cursed power. He was expecting to see Leon's body being thrown violently into one of the nearby buildings.
But the scene he had in mind did not turn into reality. Instead, what he saw was Leon's cold serious face and his crystal blue eyes flashing with intense anger enlarged in his vision.
His hands that were stretched out in the air were held by Leon without any problems and twisted at a ninety-degree angle opposite his elbow.
Crack!!! He could only hear the sound of his joints cracking from being twisted against his elbows.
The most bizarre thing was that Roman was not even given the time to let out his cry of agony. Because the next thing he witnessed was Leon using his other hand to clasp his collar and use his body as a cushion as they fell from the height of the watchtower.
The gust of the air made Roman feel like he was falling into his death while the g force attacking his body was making all of his guts turn upside down.
Fortunately, at the last minute, he was able to use a portion of this mana to distribute on his back to somehow minimize the impending impact on the ground.
Boom!!! His falling created a shallow crater from the contrasting forces of Leon's attack and his cushioning.
"Gaaaah!!!" Roman could not help but groan with agony and pain because his poor body was the one who received the opposing forces and the fall.
Leon knew that this thing will not easily take Romans like that easily. So while Roman was yet to keep up with the pain and the attack, he violently lifted his body in one hand and dashed against the city walls.
Boom! Roman realized what Leon wanted to do with his body, and so he was forced yet again to use his mana to hastily create protection for his body which was about to be smashed into the city walls.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Leon ruthlessly used Roman's body to hammer the city walls until he was satisfied with the hollow hole he created in the city walls.
This all happened so fast that Roman literally had no time to retaliate and even finish collecting his power to wrap his body. Thus his body incurred multiple injuries ranging from crushed bones to torn flesh.
His brain was not even able to fully grasp the pain it had to recognize from all the injury to his body when Leon finally threw his body into the hole to fly a hundred meters away outside the capital towards the open field which Leon decided to be their battlefield.
The initial encounter was so sudden and so intense for both parties that they were not able to notice a sickly figure practically dragging himself towards the watchtower with his sword in the right hand.
The violent attack by Leon has been fully witnessed by Kazimir who stood at his spot in a daze from utter shock!!!
