Chapter 340 - Levy

Seeing that Leon had to deal with another orc, Levy did not think any further and he just leapt towards them at the same moment the savage orc released the glaive that was aimed at Leon. And Levy could tell that Leon did not sense the danger. It seemed he was not the only one who was on his last legs because Leon was definitely the type to feel danger even without seeing it. Levy had even teased him before saying he actually have secret eyes behind his back. Yet now, Leon failed to feel the danger coming.

Just as Leon beheaded the orc before him, Levy finally reached them.

The entire moment was like a slow motion to Levy even if he was actually moving as fast as lightning. Everything seemed so clear to him. He planned to block the glaive with his sword, but he knew it was too late for that. The only choice that was left was to push Leon away. And that was what he did.

Leon crashed on the roof while Levy was thrown away..

Leon's eyes were wide with horror as he lifted his gaze and saw Levy pinned to wall by a glaive not far from them.

"L-Levy…" Leon's voice shook at the sight of him. He stumbled a little as he approached him. His eyes wide in disbelief, not knowing what to do next.

The glaive had gone right through his upper body and had completely impaled him.

Levy smiled as blood bubbled from his lips. "I wasn't trying to be heroic. Haha. I was meant to just…" he paused as his gaze fell behind Leon. "Pull this thing off me and use it to go deal with that thing down there. It's going to come for you again." Levy's speech was full of gurgling as he coughed out more blood when he spoke.

When Leon stood there, unmoving, Levy snapped. "Just do what I say damn it! You don't have the luxury of time to just stand there, you idiot!" he managed to throw that all out before he coughed out more blood.

Leon reached out for the glaive and his hands trembled as he looked into Levy's eyes. "It's fine. Just do it quickly." Levy smiled and Leon closed his eyes before pulling the glaive from his body in one smooth move.

He caught Levy and then pressed down on his wound to stop the bleeding despite knowing that it was useless. The glaive had pierced through Levy's heart.

"Go, Leon." Levy's voice was weak now. "Don't waste your time anymore." He began to push him away. "You know you can't do anything for me now. But go and kill that damn savage orc. Now!"

Without a word, Leon finally gripped the bloody glaive and after looking into Levy's eyes one last time and Levy flashed him a smiled, Leon turned.

He saw the savage orc below who was aiming to throw the glaive and his red eyes pulsated in utter anger. It became bloody purple. A loud roar escape from Leon's mouth and the next moment, he was right in the orc's face. His glaive had pierced right through the savage orc's mouth and the glaive that the orc threw fell into two parts on the ground.

More orcs and beasts came forth and Leon went on a rampage. His anger had made him go berserk. The fight went on and on and Leon was unstoppable. He had moved further and further away from where his mother and Levy was, knowing that more and more beasts and orcs will come for him. They will always flock to the place where the largest commotion was going on.

But Leon was too angry to care. All he wanted then was to kill all these beasts, especially the damned orcs. He was no longer being careful anymore. His berserk mode did not give him the luxury to be careful. He just needed to kill.

Seeing that Leon had been surrounded, Samuel and the others who were still fighting had to rush over to his side. They saw how reckless he was being. It would only take one mistake and he would die!

With Samuel's signal, everyone jumped in to join the battle. Luc, Reed, Samuel and Zolan joined in and in no time, all of them were surrounded with so many beasts, it was impossible for them to escape. They could only fight now and see how long they would last.

In the middle of the ruined city, it all looked as though they were the only people left in the city of beasts.

They had formed a circle, watching each other's back. Reed and Zolan were so weak now they could barely stand.

"Damn. I think that some of us should at least try to make an escape." Zolan suggested. "I don't think I have the strength anymore. So, I'll be the one to stay."

"Me too." Reed said. "I don't think I can hold on any longer. The three of you should –"

"Shut up." Samuel, Leon, and Luc said in unison. "No one's going to escape. And no one's going to be left behind."

"How stubborn. We'll all die at this rate." Zolan sighed.

But the three men acted as though they did not hear a thing. Their incredible fighting spirit blazed even with the last drops of their strengths. Despite how hopeless their situation now, they neither gave up nor retreated. And Zolan realized the men were aware of the situation. But they still chose to fight until the end. And he was certain there was no way he could change their minds.

He sighed again and threw his head back. The sky is a beautiful clear blue. 'We're sorry to disappoint you, princess. It seems we're going to have to break our promise to you.' He muttered within him.

"Get ready, they're coming." Samuel's voice echoed and as they watched the beasts thunder towards them, a piercing sound echoed loudly in the sky.

The beasts all halted and as they looked up, they saw a huge ball of fire coming down at them.
