âSwooshâ
[Unstoppable punch]
As soon as the old remnant spirit finished his word, Hermax didnât waste any time and threw a barrage of punches at Leo.
âSwooshâ
However, Leo had already seen through Hermaxâs talents. So, he dodged them with his fast reaction.
âJust because you are from a grade 0 world doesnât mean I will go easy on you like that fool Zorak.â
Hermax was surprised by Leoâs reaction speed; however, he didnât think much as he increased the speed of his punches.
âHe is faster than I thought.â
When he heard Hermaxâs words, Leo raised his brows and saw his speed reach the next level.
âTeleportâ
Since Hermax seemed to excel in close combat, Leo didnât want to fight him at such a close range.
So, Leo decided to teleport himself away from Hermax before attacking him.
[Golden Eyes]
âSwooshâ
Even though Golden Titans excel in close combat, they were also good at thinking.-.
From the earlier fight between Leo and Zorak, Hermax had already collected enough data about both Leo and Zorak, and at the same time, he also came up with a counter plan for their moves.
So, when Hermax saw Leo was using âteleportationâ, he used his talent [Golden Eyes], which could see through anything, even space.
âFound you.â
It only took less than a second for Hermax to find out where Leo would re-appeared.
Without a second thought, he tapped on the ground and jumped at the place where Leo would appear.
âSwooshâ
As he expected, Leo appeared at the place, and Hermaxâs fists powered up while he was still in mid-air.
âWhat theâ¦how did he find my teleportation path?â
Leo was shocked; however, he didnât have time to use [Space manipulation] again in such a short time.
[Earth Manipulation]
So, he could only create a multilayered mud wall to block the incoming Hermax.
âBoomâ
However, under Hermaxâs talent [Unstoppable Punch], the multilayered mud wall didnât even stand a chance as it collapsed when Hermaxâs fist touched the wall.
After destroying the mud wall, his punch didnât stop; it even landed on Leo, which pushed him back more than 100 meters.
âCoughâ¦He is powerful.â
Leo coughed a mouthful of blood and looked at Hermax, shocked.
His [Earth Manipulation] talent was at level 9, and he even created a multilayered wall. Not only did Hermax destroy the mud wall, but he was also pushed back 100 meters.
So, of course, he was shocked.
âAdmit defeat if you donât want to die.â
Unlike Zorak, Hermax was not the type to kill others without a proper reason.
So, he didnât forget to warn Leo, and even after his warning, if the other party didnât back down, he would no longer hold back anymore.
âJust because you pushed me 100 meters is not enough to make me admit my defeat.â
How could Leo admit his defeat that easily?
In the past, even when he was almost at the death door, Leo didnât give up on any of his fights except for one time.
Moreover, right now, he could not even give up on this fight even if he lost his life because his life depends on it.
âI need to enter the [Diamond] section of the [Treasure room] and purchase the item.â
Leo clenched his fists and disappeared from his place.
âGood. Since you donât want to admit defeat, I donât have to hold back my strength any longer.â
Hermax revealed an excited smile and said, âDo you think you can escape from my eyes?â
âSwooshâ
Soon, Hermaxâs eyes started glowing with golden light as he searched for Leoâs re-appearance place.
âHuh?â
However, Hermax frowned because he could not find out where Leo would reappear.
âAs I expected, he could only track my teleportation path with his [Golden Eyes] talent.â
Leo looked at Hermax from the secret dimension he created to hide and silently noted down.
Leo was still feeling pain all over his body from the earlier punch, and he wanted some time to recover from the injuries.
So, he decided to hide, and at the same time, he wanted to figure out whether Hermaxâs [Golden eyes] would see him if he hid in the secret dimension.
âSince he is so powerful, I can only use sneak attacks on him.â
Leo knew no matter how good he was at martial arts and hand-to-hand combat, and it was useless in front of absolute strength.
Not only does Hermanx have a powerful attacking talent, but Leo guessed [Golden Titan Body] talent must be related to defense.
So, he wanted to rely on sneak attacks.
Moreover, Leo was worried about another thing which was Hermaxâs bloodline, and thought, âWho knows what kind of benefits his bloodline will provide to him.â
âItâs time to attack.â
After recovering his strength a little, Leo started executing his plan.
âWhere is he hiding?â
As for Hermax, he was searching for Leo using his [Golden Eyes]; however, he could not find any trace.
âAre you searching for me?â
[Mighty Combustion]
Leo came out of his secret dimension some distance from Hermax before using his most destructive talent.
Even though this talent would cause a lot of damage if Leo were closer to Hermax, Leo didnât want to risk it, fearing Hermaxâs [Golden Eyes] might find him if he moved closer to him.
Nevertheless, Leo felt the distance was enough to deal good damage to Hermax.
âBoomâ
As usual, a fiery heat wave came out of Leoâs body, and Hermax didnât have enough time to dodge the incoming fiery heat wave.
âSo, you finally came out of your hiding placeâ¦Bloodline activateâ
To Leoâs surprise, Hermax revealed a slight smile as he rushed toward Leo without caring for the incoming fiery heat wave.
At the same time, he activated his bloodline, which made his body glow with a Golden Halo.
âWhat the hell! Where did this monster come from?â
Looking at Hermax running into the fiery heat wave, Leo felt a bad premonition as he directly walked into the secret dimension.
Soon, the fiery heat wave disappeared, and there was not a single burn on Hermaxâs body.
âAre all the beings from the grade 3 world this strong?â
Leo was shocked to see Hermax was not harmed in the slightest despite using his strongest talent.
âAarghâ¦come out and face me like a man.â
As Leo was shocked by Hermaxâs inhumane defense, Hermax got frustrated and shouted aloud.
However, when Leo saw Hermax getting frustrated, he got an idea that might possibly make him win.
âI know itâs cowardice but so what? As long as I win, I can break my slave seal and become free of the unbearable pain.â
Leo didnât care about morals. To him, breaking the slave seal was important, and he would do anything to get the item that could break his seal.
âSwooshâ
âDo you think I am an idiot to fight you face to face? What a joke?â
Soon, Leo appeared some distance away from Hermax just like before and used [Might Combustion] before going back into his secret dimension.
âDamn it.â
Generally, Hermax could control his anger; however, he was unable to do it because of Leoâs actions.
âSwooshâ
âSir Odren, what happens if there is no winner in the match?â
After taking a break for a minute, Leo walked out of the secret dimension and asked the old remnant spirit with a curious look.
