When a voice reached her, it was sly and slithering like a snake. It said, "You, girl, you got violated in many ways, and it was because of Nicole. You were the hottest girl in the academy, but when he arrived, he made you feel like a rag. All I ask of you is to give me your body, and I will help you to exact revenge." The girl thought for a moment, but, fueled by rage, she agreed without thinking. Immediately, dark energy enveloped her.
Leo noticed an anomaly and instantly reacted by using his magic to create a barrier. Vultra waited to step in, but Leo held him back. He said, "This is my fight; go get yours." As Leo jumped outside the barrier, the girl, now transformed—wore a dark crown that radiated dark energy and dark armor that almost looked like a swimsuit with knee-high heels and stockings. Her eyes glowed red.
Leo said, "Wow, are you sure the force controlling you isn't a pervert? 'Cause it makes sure to reveal what matters."
The girl shouted, "Stop it! You're making me angry!" as she tried to cover it.
Leo stretched and said, "Now, when fighting opponents, there are three steps. Step one: get to the opponent's head and make them disorganized." He dashed in an instant and delivered a blow to her face. He said, "Yo, girl, don't take it to heart; I just did what I had to do—I'm too broke to afford a court case." Before she could react, he instantly teleported and struck her in the stomach. He said, "If you're done, go to the doctor. You clearly need surgery at least, so that you can brood babies."
The girl, clearly getting angrier, screamed, "You bastard! You don't know how to talk to women!"
Leo said, "I don't see a woman; I see a little girl getting controlled by her emotions. And who are you to say, 'I don't know how to talk to women'? You can't even talk to a boy properly, let alone a man, you bitch—Hey, why you little—" She instantly powered up.
The system notified: Leo defeated Dark Queen. Reward: level up, stat boost, and new skill Dark Overlord. Failure: death.
Leo chuckled with a smirk. He said, "Now you've given me a reason to fight." The Dark Queen, now lost to rage, became enclosed in a dark sphere that destroyed everything in its path. Vultra instantly appeared.
"Leo, can I step in now?"
Leo shoved him away. "You had your showdown; now it's my turn."
"Fine," Vultra said as he withdrew.
Leo said, "Yo, girl, you done with all the dramatic effects? Now let's battle to our heart's content."
The Dark Queen now seemed matured; she didn't respond, making Leo seem like an idiot. Instantly, thousands of beasts rose from the endless darkness. She created a castle guarded by endless beasts.
Leo said, "Wow—in a second, it's a world of peace; now it's a dungeon. Anyways, time to enjoy myself." He tore his clothes, summoned his twin blades, and stood before an uncountable number of beasts. Leo zoomed in, slicing apart anything he laid his sights on at the speed of light, leaving only the trails of his blades; body parts of monsters flew around him. Leo seemed to get stronger the more monsters he killed.
But there was a problem, which he soon found out: the wave was endless. The more he killed and destroyed, the more they spawned—only to be killed again. Leo knew time was running out and his stamina was diminishing.
Leo said, "At this rate, I will drop out of mana. I need to finish this in one attack." He charged his power, levitated into the skies, and illuminated light beams all around him. Calmly, he said, "Global Annihilation." The light beams started to spin uncontrollably, forming a sphere which in turn formed a pure light-energy cannon.
The scene shifted to Leo as he used his fingers to form a gun-like pose. He said, "Boom, baby!" The cannon fired, annihilating all the beasts.
A while after the global annihilation, Leo fell from the skies, tired and bloody. Suddenly, all the monsters that had seemed to be defeated began to regenerate from their atoms until they all regenerated. Leo barely stood before a rejuvenated army of monsters. He said calmly, "Is this how I am going to die here?" His memories flashed as he saw his previous self defying laws.
Leo said, "Destiny isn't set in stone; it can be written and changed. I refuse to die here. No, I will not die here." Andreanlin rushed into him. The system notified him: boost mode 200 percent for 10 minutes. Leo stood before them, overflowing with energy. Immediately, he picked up his twin blades. He disappeared; half of the army was instantly disintegrated. He appeared again for a brief moment; next, his trail was seen as he completely sliced up all the monsters. The system notified him: 5 minutes left.
Leo instantly zoomed into the castle. He met the Watchman, who told him, "I'm not your opponent, but since I have a duty, I will adhere to it. My apologies." As he took his stance, he unveiled his wrapped giant sword. The moment he touched it, he became another being.
Leo knew he shouldn't waste time, but the opponent was tough. He had to do something, so he instantly zoomed in, trying to end him—but the Watchman used his eyes to materialize a shield which blocked all of his attacks. Leo pushed, but he couldn't break it, so he jumped back.
The Watchman told him, "Now we fight for real." He instantly appeared behind Leo and swung his giant sword to cut him down, but Leo parried with his free hand before adjusting his weight to face him on equal ground.
The Watchman said, "It's been a long time since I've had a good fight. I commend you."
Leo checked the system, which read 2 minutes left. Leo said, "I would love to stay and chat, but I really don't have time. So let's use our strongest attacks."
As Leo stood clutching both of his blades, he charged his attack while the Watchman kneeled holding his sword as he charged his attack. Leo said, "You ready?"
The Watchman said, "I was born ready." Leo activated the Thousand Twin Blade Technique: Time Alteration, while the Watchman activated his technique—he called it Absolute Heavenly Slash. Their attacks clashed.
Leo said, "No! I won't lose." He moved so fast that trails of light were seen; he blended into the attack and managed to cut it in half. He shouted, "I won't lose, not today! Haaaaaaa!" as he sliced through the shield and landed a clean X-slice on the Watchman's armor. The Watchman staggered, bleeding, then fell to one knee. He said to Leo, "Thank you for honoring this old hag's last wish."
Leo struggled to stand upright. The Watchman said, "Thank you," and then died. His body and spirit left, leaving only his armor behind. Leo clutched it as tears welled up in his eyes. He carried it as if it were a human being and dashed to the throne room, killing and slicing anyone who stood in his way until he opened the giant doors. He saw the girl—completely changed. Leo dropped the armor. The system notified him: 10 seconds left.
The Dark Queen stood up, applauding him. She said, "Bravo, Nicole! You've overdone yourself. Now it's time for round two." She manifested all the opponents Leo had killed, making them stronger tenfold.
Leo thought, "So as—" The system notified him: boost mode used; all statuses are back to normal. The Dark Queen said, "That despair, that pain—I want it. Give me more."
Leo said to himself, "Will everything end like this? All my efforts wasted? No, I refuse to be like this. I refuse to die like this. No, I won't." As Leo staggered, he ran toward the incoming hordes with his twin blades. Suddenly, time stopped as the system notified him: bonus requirement met, temporary Ascension to previous powers effect—5 minutes.
When time resumed, Leo's body was altered as streams of code and magic wrapped around him, forming a barrier. His eyes were closed. An enemy tried to harm him but was exterminated by his aura alone. When Leo opened his eyes, he swiped his hands; all the hordes disintegrated one by one.
The Dark Queen couldn't believe what was happening. She said, "Who are you? No—what are you?"
Leo said in his godly voice, "I am justice. I am life. I am death. I am karma, and I've come for you." Materializing his scythe, he said, "Do you want to know what this scythe does? Wait to find out." He sliced at her body; her soul and spirit separated. Leo took the evil energy and condensed it into a ring.
Leo said, "I am not heartless. You let emotions get the better of you." He mended her soul, spirit, and body back into one being, then placed a seal on her to prevent any future evil control. Leo ascended into space and performed a cleansing—thousands of nanobots imbued with magic rebuilt the whole planet and restored all damage.
The system informed him that time had completed. He collapsed from space in a free fall, but in that instant, Vultra jumped high, caught him, and descended with him, taking any damage Leo should have received.
Vultra told the unconscious Leo, "Thank you for saving the world, bro." As they landed, Vultra laid Leo down on grass and stared into the sunset.
