“Good, I get it. I'm handing you that bastard, Leon.”
Seeing Leon's determination so unanimous through his eyes, Helios handed the witch Isis to be handled by Leon alone.
“Thank you, Brother.”
With a feeling of pleasure because of the trust that Helios gave him, Leon unconsciously leaned a little corner of his lips and smiled.
“But the one thing you have to understand Leon, the enemy before you is very weak. Never be intimidated by your subconscious. He can instantly become strong once you are deceived by his deceit and illusions into thinking he is strong. Please bear in mind that this is a mental war, Leon.”
“Siap, Brother.”
Leon advanced on Isis with his sword of aura, but like a ghost, Isis was able to dodge each of Leon's attacks through vertical movement very quickly without moving a single joint on her body.
“Bad you, you despicable! How dare you underestimate my power!”
Isis pulled out the mana of death and then it immediately turned into the form of a sphinx monster that was lion-bodied but human-headed who was preparing to attack.
But it didn't attack Leon. Isis' target was Helios.
-prang.
However, Isis immediately widened her eyes. Before the formed monsters could touch Helios, it returned into a state where it died once exposed by the sweep of Helios aura.
“Must be!”
“You know Old Grandma, you're very weak. You... are dead.”
With a mocking smile, Helios stared in satisfaction at Isis's wrinkled expression. Isis's weakness was known, and her life was in Helios's hands unless Isis made it out of the place alive.
Isis had just summoned the dimensional gap to trap the three people. But now he thinks to immediately mengunsummonnya back for himself can escape from the hero who is more similar as the villain.
“What?”
But something that Isis did not expect happened. He can't do it.
“Don't think of escaping from here, Old Grandma. All of these dimensional gaps have completely switched into the universal law of my strength.”
Leon did not even give Isis a chance to panic because now it was her turn to be played back by her brother, Helios, it was.
-Syat, syat, syat.
Two slashes missed, but the last slash hit the witch object whose mind had been muddled in anger at being played by a lowly human.
“Don't think this will end up here!”
Through his serpent staff, Isis returned to his death which this time turned into shadow swords.
“Taste the sharpness of my sword, pest!”
- Trang, trang, trang, trang, trang.
Leon managed to fend off every black shadow-shaped sword Isis directed at him. There were six swords thrown at him. But once it was realized, the number of swords it had fended off was only five. A sword had just disappeared from Leon's sight.
‘Aaaakkkkhhh!”
Thankfully at least Leon was still able to dodge the sword attack regarding the vital point on his body.
“Leon, I told you it was a mental fight! Do not let neither his speech nor his actions shake your understanding of the laws of the world! It's word magic! It will be strong if you believe it strong! Be confident in your own abilities!”
Helios immediately returned to advise Leon in his seemingly unfavorable fight on his part.
Frustrated, Leon stared at the witch object. It was not anger or helplessness, but a mixture between the two. Leon lamented his incompetence, but he did not want to be dissolved in it so he tried to keep his calm as calm as possible in order to find the right gap to finish off the life of the witch object.
slash, slash, slash.
Various slashes were fired once again by Leon to Isis, but like a cheap thing, Isis seemed to not care and just deflected it with her snake staff. Leon was the one who was actually bounced by Isis's overpowerment.
‘Am I this weak?’
Leon's frustrated face became increasingly visible. He had made up his mind to defeat Isis alone without her help, but now he ended up in such a miserable state.
-Trararang.
Unexpectedly by Leon, the dead mana had suddenly turned into a chain that was about to entrap him coming from his left. However, an invisible shield had protected him.
“Leon, I know you can do better than this. I'm sorry if my help isn't needed. Just strengthen your mentality. The more you consider a witch gun to be dangerous, the stronger she is!”
Helios tried to remind his brother to strengthen his mentality to face the witch object whose strength comes from the opponent's mental weakness, but it only made Leon more frustrated with his weakness.
“I'm sorry, Brother.”
Without giving Leon time to grieve, Isis immediately advanced with her black shadow swords summoned from the dead that came out of her snake staff. But unexpectedly, Helios who actually went forward to throw the attacks easily.
“Urgh.”
The witch was so far bounced off the astral wall that it was injured quite badly.
Taking the opportunity, Helios patted his sister's shoulder.
“There's no harm in being weak, Leon. Because with humans realizing their weaknesses, they have the spirit to be better in the future. But you're not as weak as you are in your shadow. The proof for these eight years, you managed to survive even after experiencing that terrible thing, right? So trust yourself. Confident in your strength.”
As if there was a heat that warmed his heart, Leon felt better. Leon immediately recalled the past when he was a child where he was always protected by his brother.
But since the tyrant's prophecy, the brother became humiliated and Leon unconsciously stared at that brother's back was getting weaker. He was determined this time he was the one who had to be strong in order to replace him who was now protecting his brother.
Leon fought and continued to fight until finally he could become a genius in swordsmanship and all kinds of other martial arts at a very young age. Then as the peak, he could break through the swords master class at his age who had just stepped on 14 years at that time. Helios was a genius, but no one could resist that Leon was also a genius.
But as time went on, she realized that her brother had never been weak. His brother was only confined by the various pressures present. Leon also turned around to protect his brother in another way, namely by working with Tius, his first brother, and his brother, for the sake of protecting Helios from the cunning nobles by being more prominent in the palace than the others.
And that's with the sword ability.
However, what he was proud of was apparently now nothing. His brother also from the beginning never needed his help from a long time ago until now the brother is really strong, even, now the brother has become a hero who is a hope for everyone.
However, Leon only wants to be useful for his brother. No, what became his greatest hope was that the older brother could look back at him with his usefulness.
Helios, who had been locked up and assaulted from all directions until being excommunicated in a rundown palace, had long lost her smile and had unwittingly injured Leon. But now, Leon finally realized that he had been wrong. Helios remained Helios. From the past until now, her brother's warmth never changed.
With a few words of comfort from Helios, Leon again gained the most important power from within him. Hopefulness.
