The villainous prince who bullied Feng Aotian was actually myself.

The seaweed-like man sneered, hoisting his large axe onto his shoulder. "My axe has been itching for a long time!"

"You must die."

The masked man said coldly, his hand already resting on the hilt of his knife.

At that moment, the gate suddenly flickered, as if it was about to disappear.

Is there a time limit?

Leon immediately understood this, and then he quickly moved to block the light gate.

At this moment, the masked man also noticed this, but he was a step behind Leon. When he rushed to the light gate, he was slashed back several meters by Leon, who was a step ahead and blocked the light gate.

"You think you can stop us?"

The masked man sneered.

"Of course I can't stop you, but if I can hold out until the portal disappears, none of us will be able to get out. Do you want to give it a try?"

Leon chuckled.

"Leon, if you don't get out of the way, I'll kill one of your comrades every three seconds!"

The seaweed-like man angrily pointed his axe at the unconscious Helena, "Let's start with the most beautiful one!"

"Hahaha, go ahead and kill them. If you have the guts, then kill them all. You won't get out of here alive either. We'll all be buried in this book together."

Leon laughed loudly and maniacally, without even glancing at Helena, as if he didn't care at all.

"You bastard, I'll chop you up first!"

The seaweed man couldn't take it anymore. He suddenly raised the blue axe in his hand and violently hurled it at Leon.

A hissing sound rang in his ears. Leon didn't dodge. Instead, he slashed in the direction the axe had come from. The axe was sent flying back, and Leon was also shaken and suffered internal injuries. His face paled a bit, but the healing buff provided by the holy blade in his hand allowed Leon to recover from his injuries immediately.

"Heh, if the two of you manage to get out of here today, it'll be because I, Leon, am going to die."

Leon sneered.

"Then you should just die."

The seaweed man caught the flying axe and flew into a fit of impotent rage.

The masked man and the seaweed man were also injured in the battle against the dragon. Now, although they could defeat Leon, who has healing abilities, it was impossible for them to do so in the short term.

"Leon, I'll let it go this time. You can leave now, and we'll go our separate ways once we're out. But you won't be so lucky if we meet again in the future."

The masked man restrained the impulsive seaweed man and then looked at Leon.

"Um... OK."

Leon nodded, and finally said, feigning reluctance.

"Ella Macy, you two go out first."

Leon greeted Ella and Maisie.

Without hesitation, Ella and Maisie, along with Helena and Hazel, went straight into the portal and disappeared.

After confirming that Helena and the others had left, Leon breathed a sigh of relief, but he had no intention of leaving.

"Leon, what do you mean by this?"

The masked man looked at him coldly.

"Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Once we're all out, you won't have any more worries. What's the difference between inside the Dead Book and outside the Dead Book? So I have no intention of letting you out."

Leon sneered.

"Do you really think that this portal is the only way out? We will find other ways to get out, but it will take some time. If you do this, you will only die."

The masked man said calmly. At the same time, he slightly bent over, pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, and a terrifying sword intent began to ferment within his scabbard.

Suddenly, Leon's spiritual intuition warned him of danger; the masked man's strike might actually kill him instantly.

If the attack is fatal, then Shenwu's healing buff will be ineffective.

However, Leon did not back down. He could block the masked man and the axe man from leaving, but the price would be his life, which was not worth it at all.

What Leon had to do was to deplete the spiritual power of the masked man and the seaweed man as much as possible.

"Tsk, what a coincidence, I never thought I'd leave alive."

Leon laughed loudly.

"court death!"

The masked man drew his sword and slashed, unleashing a powerful shockwave that sent chills down Leon's spine.

Leon had no intention of fighting the shockwave. He simply fell backward and into the portal of light, leaving the masked man's slash to nothing.

At this moment, the light gate began to shrink rapidly, as if it would disappear in the next second.

"Leon, I'm going to kill you."

The masked man gritted his teeth, his figure blurring into countless afterimages as he swiftly entered the portal of light.

The seaweed man also leaped into the disappearing portal with lightning speed.

His vision went dark for a moment, then brightened again, and Leon was back in front of the altar.

At that moment, outside the altar, Leon heard a rumbling thunder.

Leon didn't see Ella and the others; he went downstairs and quickly ran out of the Leaning Tower.

Then the sky turned gloomy, a cold wind whistled, and Eric stood proudly atop the tip of a leaning tower.

On the other side, the person confronting her was none other than Harry, who had the face of a sleeping dragon.

Chapter Twenty: Helena's Little Fists

Why did Harry and Eric fight?

Is there some misunderstanding?

in addition,

What exactly is Eric's identity?

How many years was she trapped in the world of the book?

Listening to her conversations with the dragon in the world of the book, it's highly likely that their history predates that of the Hoyle royal family, making them genuine "ancient people."

but,

Erik is not an angel.

Humans and beastmen cannot escape birth, aging, sickness, and death until they advance to the angelic realm.

In other words, a hundred years is just a lifetime, and it's already quite good if you can live to eighty.

So Harry is at most in his fifties. What grudge could he possibly have against Eric? They're not even from the same era!

Leon couldn't understand what was going on.

"Mr. Harry!"

Leon strode out and shouted loudly towards Harry's location.

Harry glanced at Leon, but he didn't seem inclined to speak to him.

Then, Leon turned to Eric, "Miss Eric, what's going on?"

"He was brought by you, wasn't he?"

Eric didn't explain, but instead gave Leon a cold look.

"Leon, your friends have been rescued. They are now on a small boat on the beach. You can leave now."

Harry spoke up suddenly.

“Miss Eric doesn’t seem like a bad guy, Harry. I don’t understand why you did this.”

"Leon asked."

"Because I am the opportunity for him to advance to the King level and become the strongest human being."

Harry didn't answer, so Eric answered for him.

Advancing to the King level...

Leon fell into deep thought.

The King-level is not only superior to humans, but also a peak demigod who is infinitely close to being a god. Angels do not belong to humans, so the King-level represents the highest level of combat power for humans.

Angels are rare in this world. Ground angels are mostly high-ranking members of the church, wild angels are few and far between, and there aren't many king-level powerhouses either. Once you step into the king level, as long as you don't provoke a powerful force with a strong foundation and background, you can indeed roam the world with impunity.

To advance to the King level, a fortune teller needs to possess extremely high luck, or good fortune value.

Because fortune tellers are professionals who peek into fate, anyone who reveals heavenly secrets will be punished by heaven.

Therefore, a diviner needs to undergo a heavenly tribulation to advance to the king level.

The tribulation here is not the same as the tribulation in the world of cultivation. It has absolutely nothing to do with how strong your primordial spirit and physical body are or whether you can withstand being struck by lightning.

Because the fortune teller is undergoing a tribulation of bad luck, at the beginning of the promotion, the fortune teller's luck will drop to a negative value, and everything they do will be extremely unlucky, which will directly threaten their life.

For example, if you go out for a stroll, you might encounter an unknown, powerful figure who suddenly takes a dislike to you, or mistake you for Mr. Wang, the neighbor who slept with his wife, and launch a fatal attack without mercy.

Or you might eat a piece of bread, only to find that the sauce inside has actually been laced with rat poison.

Then, while you're sleeping in bed, an earthquake suddenly strikes, and your house collapses.

Therefore, without strong luck to help offset bad luck, one will basically perish halfway through the advancement process.

So, Harry wants to steal Eric's luck from her?

Eric is the protagonist in the book, and in reality, he still carries great fortune.

But shouldn't Helena be the one with the greatest fortune?! Can't Harry see Helena's fortune? Helena is the protagonist of this world, okay?

No, he should be glad that he didn't discover that Helena possessed a destiny, otherwise, dealing with an Obsidian-level diviner would be a very troublesome matter, because their divination can always know what you will do in the future one step ahead of you.

Although divination is just a general concept, it depends on how it is interpreted. Fate is always changing, and things that haven't happened yet can basically change for the better.

At this moment, Harry and Eric were already locked in a fierce battle.

And Leon has met his match.

They are the masked man and the seaweed man who came from the world of the book.

They happened to run out of the Leaning Tower and, after witnessing the battle in the sky, were slightly stunned, their faces showing confusion. But this confusion vanished instantly when they saw Leon.

"Leon, instead of making a quick escape, you dare to stay here."

The seaweed man laughed, and without saying much, he picked up his great axe and rushed towards Leon.

The masked man also rushed out with him.

Leon was no match for the two men's attacks and was sent flying, crashing into the ground and creating a large crater.

The Holy Blade's duration had long been exceeded, and its healing effect was no longer as powerful as it had been initially, causing Leon's injuries to heal extremely slowly.

"Go to hell!"

The seaweed-like man strode furiously toward Leon.

His giant axe roared like a tractor as he ran, and then, three meters away from Leon, he leaped into the air and brought the axe down—no, it was more like a smash than a chop.

If Leon were to be struck by this axe, he knew he would not survive, and his death would be extremely gruesome; he would not be a whole corpse, but a pile of minced meat.

Just as Leon was about to escape as fast as he could, a figure flashed by, and Leon felt himself being picked up.

In the time it takes to breathe, he had already moved from the pit to flat ground ten meters away.

To the masked man and his companions, all they saw was an arc of electricity flashing through the air.

This is Erico's teleportation skill.

"Helena!"

Weren't you unconscious?

The backlash from over-treatment and over-optimization can't possibly recover so quickly, right?

Looking at the stunningly beautiful face before him, Leon felt as if it were a dream, an unreal experience.
