Chapter 769 - Stalemate

"Ha, who do you think you're talking to, Lord Kaligan? You're the one who should be careful!"
"You… I can't be bothered to argue with you," Kaligan stated.
Naturally, Kaligan was not concerned about Teshafir's safety; in fact, his death was more desirable as it would allow him to reap all the benefits.
However, if Teshafir died before they could kill the noble demon, it would only make things harder for him.
Nevertheless, as soon as the two Arch Demons made their move, Leon, who had their presence locked with his divine sense, immediately narrowed his eyes.
"Out of my way!" Teshafir roared at the Greater Demons.
The two Arch Demons shot at Leon from two opposing sides with incredible speed that their figures blurred like shadows.
However, Leon's eyes narrowed, and his surrounded space warped, increasing the distance the original distance between him and the two Arch Demons
Swoosh—!
Leon twisted his body and evaded both the Three-Headed Serpent Arch Demon's tail sweep and the Evil Eye Arch Demon's rapier slash by a hair's margin.
Even with the Spatial Law's interference, he can't entirely evade the Arch Demons' attacks unless he also moves his body.
Nevertheless, Leon didn't just evade the Arch Demons' attacks; he also countered in that instance, reaching out towards the Evil Eye Arch Demon's head with his spare hand.
Swoosh!
Kaligan narrowed his eyes and retreated immediately, drawing his distance from Leon even faster than when he attacked.
The Arch Demon was very wary of Leon's hand as if it was the hand of a death god.
"Kill him, Lord Teshafir!" Kaligan shouted.
Even for Leon, it was too much to take on two Arch Demons at once; his counterattack left a sliver of opening for the Three-Headed Serpent Arch Demon's second tail sweep.
Peng!
Unable to evade the Three-Headed Serpent Arch Demon's second attack, Leon forcefully parried it with his Tier-6 Halberd.
Military Arts!
He successfully deflected most of the force by incorporating the essence of Military Arts into his Tier-6 Halberd.
Alas, the remaining force still blasted him off his feet and sent him flying into a crowd of Greater Demons.
At the same time, the shock almost made him feel like getting struck by an armored truck as his bones creak and his organs shake.
Despite suffering temporary weakness and numbness, his body was surprisingly fine otherwise.
"Leon!"
"Wait!"
Nevertheless, it did not stop Aria from crying with alarm and readying to jump into the fray before getting stopped by the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman.
"Look, Miss Aria! Young Master Leonhardt is fine!" the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman pointed with one hand while holding her back with the other.
In the instant that Leon flew towards the group of Greater Demons, he twisted his body and spun in midair with Darkness Energy gushing out like a whirlwind of dark clouds, masking his presence and making his following attack unpredictable.
Puchi!
The Greater Demons failed to read Leon's attack and had their bodies cleaved in half; the unluckier Greater Demons directly had their heads lopped off.
Blood spurted from their wounds—only to become sustenance for Leon's quick recovery, allowing his slightly diminished aura to explode with vigor once more.
Then, Leon kicked off a High-rank Greater Demon's Tier-6 Saber and shot back at the Three-Headed Serpent Arch Demons.
"Dammit! He's using demon blood to recover! What a tenacious cockroach!" Teshafir roared with frustration after witnessing the sight while preparing to receive Leon's attack.
At the same time, Kaligan quickly shot over from the side, causing Leon to crack the ground with a hard step to stop abruptly, almost like a panic reaction to evade Kaligan's incoming.
"Keke, I got you now! Die!" Kaligan rejoiced with a hearty yet wicked laugh.
The Evil Eye Arch Demon's third eye saw through Leon's subtle movements as it closed in with its vertically-raised Tier-6 Rapier readied to pierce Leon's heart.
However, Leon's eyes flickered, and the sudden increase in gravity bore down on the Evil Eye Arch Demon; not enough to completely throw it off balance, but enough to make it stagger, delaying its attack.
That sliver of the opening was enough for Leon to leap back and retreat through the air as he withdrew a spare bone spear from his World Space and infused his dark power into it.
Final Spear – Spear Piercing the Heavens!
The bone spear he casually forged was immediately fired like a ballistic missile, shooting straight the Evil Eye Arch Demon's third eye.
Although the bone spear flew very fast, it wasn't as fast and powerful as the last time he used the move, as if something was diminishing its power.
Nevertheless, Kaligan's three eyes shrank into slits before deflecting the bone spear with his Tier-6 Rapier and preparing a follow-up attack with Teshafir.
However, the corner of Kaligan's eyes saw a chip on his Tier-6 Rapier before he froze with shock.
"What!" Kaligan cried.
The Evil Eye Arch Demon could not comprehend how a Tier-3 Bone Spear was able to damage its Tier-6 Rapier.
It did not notice the Nihility Power infused in the Tier-3 Bone Spear.
At the same time, Teshafir, who flew up and rushed at Leon alone, suddenly canceled his attack and plummeted back to the ground after Leon shot him a threatening look.
He was under the illusion that he would have died if he had proceeded further.
'Did I just get intimidated by a simple glare? Me? An Arch Demon? Impossible!' Teshafir denied the possibility.
The Three-Headed Serpent Arch Demon was oblivious to Nihility even after Leon conjured the Nihility Barrier around him.
Nevertheless, that brief moment of confusion in the Three-Headed Serpent Arch Demon's eyes was all Leon needed to confirm that the demons were ignorant of the Nihility Law.
Even though Teshafir didn't see Nihility Barrier, he felt its brief yet threatening presence with his instincts.
"What the hell are you doing, Lord Teshafir! Why did you suddenly cancel your attack?! You wasted such a good opportunity, you donkey-brain!" Kaligan barked furiously.
Hearing those words, Teshafir immediately exploded, snapping back at the Evil Eye Arch Demon, "F*ck you, you ignorant mongrel! This bastard has too many weird abilities—!"
Final Spear – Spear Piercing the Heavens!
The Three-Headed Serpent Arch Demon was interrupted by another one of Leon's ballistic bone spears aimed at its head.
