Everything developed just as they had discussed moments ago.
But just as Leon was about to touch Ravi, a light blue barrier suddenly rose from the ground, blocking between Leon and Ravi, intercepting Leon's attack for Ravi.
After landing, Leon and Rossweise immediately distanced themselves from the barrier.
After all, to them, space-type magic was something they had never encountered before. They had no idea what the attack pattern of this kind of magic looked like.
"What's with this barrier…"
As the words fell, two more barriers broke through the ground, forming a closed triangular area with the one in front of Ravi.
Leon and Rossweise were trapped within it, and the range of movement wasn't large.
S-Class Space Magic · Gate of the Future
Rossweise tried attacking the barrier with dragon flame.
But the moment the flame touched the barrier, it mysteriously disappeared.
About one or two seconds later, a burst of fire light soared into the sky from far away.
Rossweise squinted and looked. It was clear to her, that was the effect of her attack hitting the open ground.
"This barrier transfers magical attacks to somewhere far away."
Rossweise gently pressed against the barrier, her tone heavy, "And your physical technique just now didn't affect it either. This is a problem…"
The space barrier was different from Star's Absolute Defense.
When breaking Star's defense, Leon relied on Chidori's piercing power combined with the super high kinetic energy of Godspeed, a fusion of magic and physical techniques;
But this space barrier not only had extremely high hardness, it could also transfer magical attacks.
This meant that to break it, they could only rely on physical means.
"If the Fourth Gate's attack doesn't work on it—", While speaking, Leon slowly lowered into a crouch, fists clenched at his waist.
An invisible force surged out of his body, causing the pebbles on the ground to jump.
Nine Gates Hell · Fifth Gate · Inertia Star
Based on the Godspeed of the Fourth Gate, it greatly enhanced the user's physical strength and instantaneous explosive power.
Of course, starting from the Fifth Gate, the side effects brought by the Gates of Nine Prisons gradually became more evident.
But Leon didn't have time to care about side effects now. Who knew what tricks this space magic still had up its sleeve?
He had to break this damn barrier as soon as possible.
Once the Fifth Gate was released, faint steam drifted from the seams of the Black Gold War Chariot armor.
It was sweat vapor.
Leon gave a low shout, kicked off the ground with his right foot, and blasted forward.
He instantly rushed to the front of Ravi, throwing a punch of Inertia Star, heavily slamming it onto the space barrier.
As the punch landed, the surrounding ground even began to tremble, and the barrier slightly wavered.
Ravi gritted her teeth tightly, continuously pouring magic into the barrier array, only barely managing to block Leon's punch.
The burden and pain brought by the Fifth Gate to the body was incomparable to the Fourth Gate, but correspondingly, the increase in power was also unimaginably exaggerated.
Yet even this move still failed to break Ravi's space barrier.
Ravi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Stop your futile struggle, Casmodeous. You can't break this barrier. I already said, you'll be erased, but without any pain. Isn't it better to quietly accept your end?"
Leon endured the pain from every limb and bone, "Shut up, old geezer. Do I look like someone who'd obediently surrender?"
He returned to Rossweise's side and lowered his voice, "A magic barrier of this strength, it's impossible for Ravi to maintain it alone. The other two also contributed a lot."
"There are obvious pros and cons to this."
"The advantage, like now, is that just the two of us alone can hardly compete with their trio."
"But the disadvantage is, if even one of them relaxes or makes a mistake, the barrier's strength will drastically drop."
While speaking, Leon looked toward the distant battlefield where the Silver Dragons and the Star Wanderer Dragons were clashing. He sighed inwardly, "But it looks like no one can help us from outside…"
Leon's plan was simple. As long as any one of the three maintaining the space array got disrupted, he might be able to break it.
But the deadly issue was, all the Silver Dragon soldiers had been held back tightly by the Star Wanderer Dragons Ravi had teleported over. No one could break through.
It really was a hopeless situation…
However, an even more despairing moment arrived.
A magic array emerged beneath the couple's feet, and at the center of the array, a small rift appeared.
The rift shimmered with ghostly blue light, its scenery completely obscured.
And it was slowly expanding, as if it were trying to pull Leon and Rossweise into it.
Rossweise stared at the widening rift, her mind racing, "Ravi has been saying 'erase' from the start, not 'kill', so this might not be some sealing technique or space obliteration. More like…"
Combined with how her dragon flame was transferred far away earlier, Rossweise deduced, "A teleportation technique… Ravi wants to send us to an entirely unknown place."
"You're smart, Silver Dragon King."
Ravi laughed proudly, "You're right, this is indeed a powerful teleportation array. In today's world, there may be no one or magic capable of killing Leon Casmodeous. So… sending him far away is the best choice."
An unexpected trump card, that was it.
Although the so-called "trump card" still couldn't truly kill Leon.
But it didn't matter. As long as this great Buddha was sent away, Ravi didn't care whether he lived or died.
"In that completely unknown world, Leon Casmodeous won't be alone. After all, you'll be with him, Silver Dragon King."
"Oh, right, you two seem to have children, right? If I had known, I would've captured them too and thrown them into the array with you. That way your family could reunite in another world and live however you want."
"Tch, but I still don't understand. How could a proud Dragon King lay down her dignity and unite with a human?"
BANG—
Leon slammed the barrier hard, "Old geezer, stay out of my and my wife's business!"
"Tsk, Casmodeous. I've long heard you're one of the most hard-mouthed in the Dragon-Slaying Army. I didn't expect that even now, you're still this stubborn," Ravi was in full control, unhurriedly chatting with Leon.
Rossweise blinked, looking at Leon, "So before marrying me, your hard mouth was already famous…"
"Hiss—T-That's slander. I'm never hard-mouthed," Leon explained.
"Really? Then when will you confess to me?"
"No rush."
"Why not? I'm in a rush."
"Doesn't matter if you are."
The couple bickered and quarreled, treating the space rift at their feet as nothing.
They completely ignored Ravi outside the barrier.
"You dog of a man, I knew it, you just don't want to take responsibility, do you?"
"How am I not taking responsibility? If I didn't want to, how'd we have so many kids?"
"I gave birth to all of them! All of them!"
"That's heartless talk. Without me, could you have had them alone?"
Ravi: "Enough…"
"Don't you know dragons can give birth from cocoons?"
"Cocoon-born ones have cognitive defects."
Ravi: "Hey..."
"How do cocoon-born ones have cognitive defects?"
"Forgot those three chubby dragons that got beaten 1v3 by Noah?"
Ravi: "I said that's enough!! What are you doing? You're about to die and still arguing?"
The couple tacitly stopped bickering and turned to look at Ravi in unison.
"What are we doing? We're distracting you."
"W-What…"
Before the words even finished, a sharp bird cry suddenly rang out behind Ravi.
A small black figure leapt up, thrusting lightning gathered in its hand straight toward Ravi's shoulder.
———
With thousands of dragons clashing, spells flying, and dragons roaring, almost no one would notice a child's movements.
But even so, crossing the battlefield still required immense courage and extraordinary agility.
Chidori's lightning illuminated that tender little face. She was clearly just a two-year-old child, yet the resolve and decisiveness in her eyes were no less than an adult's.
Some said Noah K. Melkvei was just a paper tiger, a nerd queen, or a child king who only bullied classmates.
But today, facing a foe like the Star Wanderer Dragon King, her attack had no hesitation.
Just like her father, she didn't need to prove anything to others. She would do what she believed was right, no matter the cost.
Even if it was dangerous, even if it risked her life, even if it was a one-way journey.
Ravi slowly turned his head, but before he could see who ambushed him, a sharp pain came from his right shoulder.
His wrist trembled, but he quickly steadied himself, turning and delivering a side kick that sent the small figure flying.
Ravi looked at Noah, his eyes filled with naked savagery and ferocity, "It's just a child…"
Being successfully ambushed by a child was a massive humiliation for a Dragon King.
But that must be the daughter of the Silver Dragon King and Casmodeous, right? Ravi squinted at the collapsed Noah, she was indeed stronger than a normal hatchling.
And much stronger.
But even so, she was still a child. Even with a successful sneak attack, she couldn't shake him, the Star Wanderer Dragon King, in the slightest.
"Don't worry, little brat. After I deal with your parents, you're next—"
"You dare… lay a hand on my daughter?"
The moment that sentence dropped, time seemed to enter slow motion.
Ravi felt a bad premonition, and quickly turned his gaze away from Noah. But in that very instant, the barrier in front of him shattered like fragile glass into countless pieces.
Next, a large hand burst through the shards and clamped tightly onto Ravi's neck.
At that moment, Ravi felt like his throat bone and windpipe were about to be crushed.
He tried to stay calm, wanting to raise his hand to regenerate the barrier.
But it was too late.
Ravi's body was lifted high into the air like a ragdoll by Leon, then swung in an arc and smashed hard into the ground.
The impact was so strong it left a shallow pit beneath Ravi, with cracks rapidly spreading outward.
The blow to his back nearly shattered his lungs.
At this moment, the Star Wanderer Dragon King was completely stunned by the man's strength before him.
'I am… a Dragon King!'
Yet the Dragon King's body felt as fragile as paper in this man Casmod's hands?
In his dragon pupils, a firestorm of rage and disbelief erupted. He gripped Leon's wrist tightly, trying to break free.
Steam gushed from beneath the silver armor. Leon increased the strength in his grip once again.
Ravi groaned, his eyeballs bulging, veins of blood spreading across his eyes.
