Standing right across from Bisos, the imposing silhouette ignored the giant completely and hurried over to Reece, inquiring worriedly, “Are you alright?”
The massive magical streetlights cast their glow on a resolute visage with dark hair and piercing eyes, chiseled and firm—it was none other than Leo Ray himself.
“I’m okay, all thanks to the Human Emperor’s timely intervention.”
Reece shook his head, expressing his gratitude toward Leo Ray.
The leader of the rainforest tribes understood full well that without Leo Ray’s swift action, he would have suffered severe injuries this round, and worse, it would have fueled the enemy’s overbearing pride even more.
Witnessing Leo Ray shove back the colossal leader—who resembled a towering hill—our alliance’s powerhouses felt a surge of thrill and motivation, lifting their spirits considerably.
Besides the rush of energy, the warriors from both alliances directed bewildered and perplexed glances toward Leo Ray.
The Human Emperor’s power appeared to hover just beyond Tier 6, yet he managed to push away a Tier 6 Peak Bisos in a single strike. This feat was utterly astonishing!
One should remember that not even a Tier 6 Peak expert from the same lineage could outmatch a Half-Titan’s raw might!
Sensing the confused stares from the group, Leo Ray stayed poised and unflappable.
The secret behind his effortless repulsion of the foe was straightforward, in truth.
Right as he clashed with the adversary, Sheila swiftly boosted him to Half-step Tier 7.
Having battled together so often, Leo Ray and Sheila shared perfect harmony, and through their mental link, pulling this off was effortless—even when Sheila was in her [Divine Stone] state.
Moreover, as he sent the opponent flying, he signaled Sheila to withdraw the enhancement, keeping the whole process under a second, which made it nearly impossible for anyone else to detect.
Undoubtedly, wielding Half-step Tier 7 power, Leo Ray could bridge the tier divide no matter how formidable the rival was; being hurled back was only expected.
“So, you’re the ruler of the Human Race?”
Bisos massaged his faintly tingling massive fist, his deep-set eyes filled with doubt and hesitation.
During that brief contact with Leo Ray, an overwhelming surge of power had crashed into him, impossible to withstand, clearing everything in its path.
However, once flung back, that immense force vanished instantly, leaving him baffled at how Leo Ray, barely past Tier 6, had pulled it off.
“Your rank doesn’t match mine; you lack the right to address me.”
In response to the giant leader’s show of menace, Leo Ray offered no courtesy, replying coolly, “Show us the way.”
“Just a puny Human Emperor, and you act so boldly!”
Hearing Leo Ray dismiss him entirely, the already humiliated Bisos erupted in fury. He emitted a deep growl, coiling his robust giant leg tightly as he geared up to charge at Leo Ray once more.
Yet this time, before he could launch himself, a dazzling purple magical glow flared before him, and suddenly Leo Ray was at his rear, landing a precise kick to the back of his knee.
Bang!
Accompanied by the muffled crack of an Energy Barrier shattering, Bisos’s enormous frame buckled to one knee on the ground, unable to rise immediately.
Leo Ray had already returned to his position in front, stating evenly, “As a mere general lacking manners, allow me to teach you proper conduct on behalf of your lord.”
“You’re going too far, you bastard!”
Observing Leo Ray force Bisos to his knees, both the enraged and mortified Bisos himself and the stunned Half-Titan escorts felt an urge to surge ahead, while our own powerhouses encircled Leo Ray protectively, on high alert.
At that moment, Administrator I could no longer remain idle and, together with a squad of market enforcers, blocked the path of the giant warriors.
As he halted Bisos, Administrator I couldn’t resist shooting a quick look back at Leo Ray, his gaze brimming with astonishment and resignation.
He had anticipated watching Leo Ray and his companions face humiliation, but to his surprise, Leo Ray not only stood fearless but also dealt a heavy blow to Bisos—something way outside his predictions.
This was, after all, territory dominated by Half-Titans and Stone Giants, and as the proverb warns, one must consider the master when striking the hound. Even if Leo Ray could handle Bisos, shouldn’t he weigh the greater threats from the more dominant Half-Titan elites backing him?
But Leo Ray paid no heed, stripping the Half-Titans of any dignity.
Administrator I knew clearly that Leo Ray’s forces outclassed Bisos and his crew in prowess, and with what seemed like a hidden technique to amplify his abilities, any conflict would put Bisos’s group at a clear disadvantage—making it tough for him to justify things to the Half-Titans later.
“It’s no surprise; this Human Emperor has only recently stepped into the Outer Region, so he’s still rather naive. He’ll face repercussions soon after his display. Remember, Half-Titans are infamous for their vengeful nature.”
Even as he inwardly undervalued Leo Ray slightly, Administrator I, while calming Bisos, managed a smile toward him, “Human Emperor, the Shadow Market isn’t a battleground; please hold back your temper.”
“Really? If the Shadow Market isn’t for fighting, then why didn’t you, the Administrator, intervene when they first struck?”
Leo Ray gave Administrator I no quarter either, responding steadily.
