Roar!
The illusion momentarily solidified to the point that the observers could only see the White Tiger swinging its claw at the gargoyle's neck rather than Leo's sword. Starting from a few minutes, a large part of the youths that had been moving around had stopped in their tracks to watch this sudden stage-crossing battle!
Gwa-
Everything seemed so slow in everyone's eyes, but the White Tiger steadily cut through the stone neck. The gargoyle that barely managed to withstand the exploding lightning in its chest could no longer release its hideous scream as its life flashed before its eyes.
Trak!
[ Plot Change Confirmed. Unique Event occurrence has been detected. ]
The voice reappeared in his mind the moment Leo sent the gargoyle's head flying. However, he didn't even manage to take a look at anything as ghostly white suddenly overtook the whole field!
Whether it was the illusion of the White Tiger, the Black Dragon, or Yeon's sword graveyard. None of them remained existent under the rule of the ghostly white field. The youths that were taken out of their trance by the sudden change of events were visibly worried, but…
"Phew…"
'This was a very close call.'
Leo only let out a long breath before letting his body fall on the stage. Not only was his body in tatters, but his Dantian was almost as barren as the day he opened it. However, all that could be seen on his relaxed face was a satisfied smile.
"That was fun…"
Yeon fell by his side, the smile on her face when she turned to him showed even more satisfaction than Leo's. Even when considering how cheerful she had been for getting to freely wander the Murim next to Leo, such a refreshing expression was still a rare sight!
Although she was likely in a slightly better state than Leo, Yeon still took this chance to relax amid the chaos. She didn't possess a form of omniscience like Leo, but she was simply too familiar with the phenomenon that was taking place.
"As expected from my student and her partner, you get full marks!"
Snap!
A mesmerizing voice resounded within the field followed by a crisp finger snap. In the next second, all of the cannon fodder monsters collapsed to the ground!
'Here we go.'
Not everyone could see it in the middle of shock, but Leo clearly noticed the ghostly white blades that rose from the ground to swiftly one-shot all of the monsters under the Peak-level. A blade had flashed by the spot where the gargoyle's head should have been, but it made no impact.
[ The Reader's character had managed to break the timing sequence of the Stage-Jumping Team Battle, personally killing the enemy. ]
[ You have received 89 Reading Points. ]
'It's not much…'
Even with the help of Yeon, Geochin would have barely managed to reduce the gargoyle into a mangled state using his extreme speed, still failing to take its life when his Internal Energy was at its last drop thanks to the effect of petrification.
'But it's better than nothing.'
However, it was at that time that none other than Cheon Jeong would appear! The watcher sent to monitor them and keep the Heavenly Strength Society's geniuses safe would end up saving the protagonist's life just like this! Something that would later come to bite them back!
What Leo desired to achieve was to not only reverse that situation, but also to personally take the monster's life, both for the sake of triggering a plot change and obtaining even more approval! If he had been even a second late, his chance would have gone with the wind.
Although the points seemed too little for the achievement, most of the 'change' value that could be achieved by it was mostly already calculated in the previous Legendary Event.
"Sorry for being late, we were held back by one of these strange nuisances so we had to deal with them first."
Cheon Jeong quickly flashed to the stage, looking down on them with a partially proud, partially apologetic smile. Not helping the young ones unless certain death was the only outcome was the Heavenly Strength Society's rule, but the Blade Spirit obviously had a very soft spot for Yeon.
The feat they achieved appeared magnificent, but Leo knew that it had only been possible thanks to the dozens of factors involved in its making. Most importantly, the 'Dao' boost provided by the location had been especially helpful in producing damage beyond their stage's limit…
'Wait-'
Just as Leo was calmly recollecting the battle to analyze his rights and wrongs, he suddenly realized a change of script within the Blade Spirit's words. At this point, she should have moved out to slaughter the rest of the monsters after checking up on them, but…
'We?'
Zaaaaap!
The clouds in the sky darkened to blend in with the night sky, converging to pour out their fury! Black lightning descended on the field as a figure holding a towering spear accompanied it down. Striking the demon-like monsters that were engaging the overseeing senior Daoist!
'Senior Brother?'
As a person who was half an inheritor of his style, Leo was also too familiar with Cheon Chang's Black Dragon's Transformations! However, slight surprise still didn't escape his face, this was yet another change!
He had been originally worried that the watcher would be changed for someone less competent due to his interference, but he somehow ended up causing the addition of another!
'Was this the mission he spoke about?'
Was his senior brother just passing by? Or was he supposed to accompany them on a one-way trip without returning with them?
"Thank you. I-"
The Daoist that had been overwhelmed by the monsters up to this moment thankfully looked at Cheon Chang, but he had already flashed towards another opponent. He…
"This is…"
"Isn't that Changyong?"
Whispers spread through the field as everyone looked at the newcomer sweeping through the monsters like dust. Everyone was confused at first, but they quickly reached a conclusion.
"Changyong… The Absolute Spear?"
'...Right.'
