Prime Originator

Chapter 463 - Stunning The Elves

After flying straight into the air above the vine walls, Leon gazed over the edge and saw the battle situation. It had reached a dangerous turning point where the rats could leap at the elven warriors any time.

At the same time, Princess Thessalia quickly noticed him and barked, "What are you still doing here?! Did I tell you to leave with my little sister and now get in my way if you are not going to help?!"

"Well, obviously, I am here to help now. Duh." Leon rolled his eyes.

Shortly after, he quickly flew straight into the cage amidst the clash between the numerous rats and the elven warriors' frenzy vine whips.

Princess Thessalia's eyes immediately bulged in shock.

This idiot was sending himself straight into the jaws of death! Even if the vine whips do not lacerate this person into pieces, the rats will surely devour him clean!

"Are you crazy?! She angrily roared before barking her orders, "Stop the attack immediately!"

In the instantaneous moment, Princess Thessalia had actually chosen to prioritized Leon's life over the lives of her own elven warriors!

Even so, the elven warriors could not react immediately as they doubted her decision.

Stopping the attack would undoubtedly cause them to be swarmed by the rats immediately if nothing unexpected happens!

"Did you say to stop the attack, Your Highness?" A high-level elven warrior asked for confirmation, but his eyes left the front not his attacks stopped.

Meanwhile, Aria and Princess Faelyn moved to a good vantage point up in the trees to overlook the situation from above.

When Princess Faelyn saw Leon diving into the cage of rats and numerous lashing vine whips recklessly, she cried despairingly, "Nooo!"

She immediately regrets her decision to ask for Leon's help. Although she knew Leon definitely had the ability to help, she did not expect him to act recklessly like this.

Princess Faelyn averted her eyes while Princess Thessalia closed her eyes. They were both unable to look.

'Sorry, baby sister. I have already tried. You cannot blame me for this.' Princess Thessalia mentally thought in that split instant.

Only Aria continued to watch without blinking, displaying her tantamount trust for Leon. Even so, her heart was not as calm as she looked on the surface.

Faced with such a dangerous situation, even she cannot help but feel concerned for Leon.

However, what was considered dangerous in everyone's eyes was of no danger to Leon at all!

At the same time, Leon's impression of Princess Thessalia increased slightly.

Shortly after, his body was lashed by numerous vine whips.

Most vine whips landed on his lion-headed cloak, while some landed on his leather armor and various other parts of his body.

But regardless of where they landed, it caused absolutely no damage to Leon's powerful equipment and fleshly defense.

Only the ordinary clothing worn underneath was torn apart.

Just as Leon was about to clash with the numerous Wingrats that made him their new target and lunged at him, a powerful wave of flames immediately burst out from his body!

The first wave of rats was immediately incinerated into black ashes and blown away by the flames' outburst!

At the same time, all consecutive waves of rats that lunged at him after that immediately twisted their upper bodies around while their limbs paddled against the air furiously in their best effort to get away from the scorching flames.

However, the strong initial momentum propelled them forward into flames, nonetheless! Their last-ditch effort to escape was futile!

Pish! Pish! Pish!

Like moths drawn to the flame, thousands of rats quickly vaporized in the blazing flames, transforming into scattering black ashes like the brethren that went ahead in the short instance before it!

Shortly after, the outburst of flames gathered towards a single point and formed a firewall in front of Leon.

He pushed the wall of flames forward, and the rats immediately retreated as quickly as they could, withdrawing from the area and exiting the Great Forest in a great hurry like they were being chased by the grim reaper from the gates of hell!

Squeak! Squeak!

The rats' numerous cries could be heard.

The mountain of rat carcasses was incinerated into black ashes all the same when it contacted the scorching flames.

Leon cleared out the trash and cleansed the area of the rat filth that littered the place.

Shortly after, Leon hollered at the dumfounded elves, "Hurry up and erect another wall to seal off this area from the outside!"

The elven warriors immediately snapped out of their stupor and quickly rushed forward to construct another vine wall as ordered by Leon.

Up in the trees, Princess Thessalia saw her warriors taking orders from a human, but she was too stunned to admonish them on this point.

Fire was undoubtedly the most effective method in dealing with the rats. Even so, Leon had resolved their immediate problem so effortlessly—or so she thought.

Leon's energy reserve was not limitless.

Incinerating so many rats did not drain much of his power. Even so, it was not like he could use it ceaselessly to wipe out the entire rat tide.

At most, he can be used to scare the rats away or control their movements.

"So, this is the power of a Fire-type Awakener? The flames of a Fire-type Awakener are so much more destructive than ordinary flames!" Princess Thessalia commented with awe.

The person's powerful flames had left her dumbstruck.

Sometime later, Leon dispelled the flame wall and hopped back inside the Great Forest, landing on top of the new vine wall.

"I shall leave this place back into your capable hands to guard." Leon patted the shoulders of two elven warriors as he was passing.

The two elven guards were surprised for a moment before they thumped their chests with their fists proudly, "Yes, sir! Thank you for your assistance!"

Shortly after, two figures dashed over.

Aria landed on Leon's left side, while Faelyn on the right. They both checked his body for injuries before quickly becoming astounded.

"Why did you act so recklessly? Did you how scared I was—how can there be no injuries?" Princess Faelyn shortly exclaimed, seeing shredded clothes but no visible wounds on Leon's body.

Her strong concerns caused Leon and Aria to glance at her curiously. She quickly blushed with embarrassment under their gazes and immediately let go of Leon's arm.

"D-don't misunderstand! I was looking for wounds to heal. I'm a Wood-type Awakener after all!" Faelyn explained with a red face.

"Wasn't asking."

Leon grinned.
