Protagonist?Antagonist? I Reject Both

Chapter 385: 385



"Half complete evolution?"Leon muttered, casting a confused look at the guy.

Just as Leon was observing him, the guy also observed him. The single grievous eye locked onto Leon as if it was glancing at a menacing enemy on sight wanting to devour him.

What baffled him more, was that the guy was able to stay floating in the ground.

"Now how is he doing that?"

In response to his question, a loud piercing shriek that almost shook his eardrums resonated in the place.

KRRRRRRR!

Leon eyed it and cleared the distracting thoughts and snapped his knuckles.

"Hehehee!It seems I can use it to test my strength."

With that, he stomped the ground

BOOM!

Two figures disappeared and then a crackling booming sound swayed the entire place. BOOM!

A huge shockwave occurred and two figures crashed onto the ground drifting away from several meters.

Landing on the ground, Leon shook his hand with a grumble, "Strange...How did its body become so strong.."

His curiosity and his eyes lit up with greed.

"You...You will add a great value to my forest collection.

With that, Leon stomped the ground and shot like lightning leaving behind the ground.

In the heart of the ragged and broken battlefield amidst the jungle that had been ravaged by lightning. Leon and the newly formed Vortugen engaged in a clash that shook the very fabric of the arena.

Vortugen, with its towering, muscular humanoid form and flowing jagged hair, hovered menacingly above the ground. Its single glaring eye, radiating a haunting glow, locked onto Leon with an unsettling focus.

It looked like a killing machine with no sight of emotions.

SWOOSH!

Darkness churned around Leon.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Leon shrouded in a cloak of darkness, emanated a potent, shadowy aura. The power of darkness surged through him, giving him an edge in both speed and strength.

As the two combatants faced off, their movements shook the place one after another as they struck one another with brute force.

Despite Vortugen's body being as strong as metal, Leon's draconic transformation proved a great asset not falling back.

"KHHH!"

Opening its mouth, like a mad man it swung his head round and round that made the pointy range of spines behind his back to erupt.

Vortugen initiated the confrontation with a rapid flurry of tentacle strikes. The tentacles, slick and sinuous, lashed out with surprising speed, aiming to ensnare and crush Leon. Each

tentacle, leaving trails of blur in their wake, shot around.

Leon, with fluid agility, maneuvered through the air, his darkness power allowing him to vanish and reappear almost instantaneously like shadow.

He countered with powerful strikes from his shadow-clad fists, each punch leaving a dark ripple in the air.

"Damn!I hate these tentacles."

Leon crushed as some of the tentacles pierced the scale. It didn't do great damage however it tickled him a lot.

As the tentacles struck, Leon deftly dodged and retaliated with a barrage of dark-infused blows.

He moved in air, leaving behind a swirling blast. His wings which were totally bony now had small scales growing on them, that allowed him to use them to turn the direction.

In the midst, Leon pulled his laser gun along with the ghost army that started firing creating an explosion of fire.

BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!

A rain of lasers shot at Vortugen.

The tentacles on meeting the beams of energy burst out directly.

Using this cover, Leon sneaked in and appeared above Vortugen who searched around looking for Leon.

'Take this...'

Leon screamed in his mind and swung his fish.

His punches connected with Vortugen's form, causing explosive bursts of dark energy that rocked the entity.

Each impact sent tremors through Vortugen's crystalline humps, causing them to flicker erratically.

Despite the massive strength behind Vortugen's tentacles, Leon's dark strikes seemed to pierce through its defenses, leaving marks of dissipating shadows that sent him flying

through the air.

Vortugen responded with its own brand of brutality. However as he shot back, he shot his tentacle.

The creature's tentacles, now trailing dark, crackling energy, wrapped around Leon, attempting to constrict and drain his strength.

However, Leon used the shadows to slip free, his form twisting and merging with the darkness to escape Vortugen's grasp.

He reemerged above, launching a powerful dark-infused projectile that collided with Vortugen's broad chest, creating a shockwave that reverberated through the air.

The two soared through the air, exchanging blows with relentless fury. Vortugen's massive tentacles swung in sweeping arcs, their impacts resonating like thunderclaps.

Each strike that Leon met with his own dark fists created a burst of shockwave, resulting in explosive bursts of energy that illuminated the surroundings with fierce flashes.

Leon's agility allowed him to dodge most of Vortugen's attacks, countering with rapid, precise strikes aimed at the creature's glaring eye and vulnerable crystalline humps

His dark power manifested as whips and tendrils that lashed out with eerie precision, scoring direct hits on Vortugen's form and causing the crystalline structures to shatter and reform. Vortugen, undeterred by the damage, retaliated with a spiraling tentacle attack, each appendage glowing with a dark, pulsating energy.

The tentacles moved with serpentine grace, their dark energy creating a swirling vortex that threatened to engulf Leon. With a surge of darkness, Leon manifested a barrier that absorbed the energy, countering with a devastating dark pulse that shattered Vortugen's protective humps and caused the creature to stagger.

The battle reached its zenith as Leon, fueled by the dark energy, unleashed a final, devastating strike. With a focused and powerful blow, he directed all his dark power into a single, concentrated attack aimed directly at Vortugen's eye.

The attack collided with a thunderous explosion of dark energy, overwhelming the creature's defenses and sending it plummeting to the ground, its form writhing and convulsing as it

struggled to maintain its shape.

Just as Leon thought he had conclusion, he saw the creature's body shape getting back again

that befuddled Leon.

It changed it state to slimy then to hard.

"Now, how to kill it..."

An idea struck in Leon's mind.

He raised his arms over which a ball blackjsh flame flickered.

"Let's see if this works.
