Chapter 603: Chapter 602: I have a Counter

Leon and Kiro stood stunned as they looked at the grinning Nekro.

They couldn’t understand where they were or how this was happening, but...

With the three of them gathered here, today might be their chance to take down Nekro.

For Leon, he had already been suspicious. He had observed the strange movements of Nekro’s forces, especially their gathering of massive amounts of resources and humans.

It seemed Nekro was planning to break through or something similar.

Leon looked at Kiro, who nodded.

The two moved.

But the instant they did, their skin was ripped apart, and blood filled the space around them.

They didn’t dare take another step forward.

Their expressions changed as they stared at the grinning Nekro.

What could this be?

What kind of Element did Nekro possess?

"Hehe, why are you two waiting? Come on. Attack."

Nekro taunted them.

Kiro frowned before taking a step forward.

The instant he did, his flesh ripped apart.

But he kept moving.

His eyes narrowed as he suddenly burst forward with terrifying speed.

Nekro’s expression rapidly changed as he crossed his arms.

Bang!

He was blasted thousands of meters away.

"Your Element doesn’t matter. I have regeneration. I can just push through it."

Kiro spoke flatly as Nekro crashed into a hill.

"Cough... cough..."

"Well said."

Nekro stood up from the crater, completely unharmed, as he muttered.

At the same time, Leon smiled.

He had a System that allowed him to surpass his opponent by one realm whenever he was attacked.

Wasn’t this the perfect opportunity to become stronger?

He also took a step forward.

His strength rapidly increased.

Keith appeared beside them as the three accelerated to the speed of light.

Nekro also leaped into the air to meet them.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

They clashed.

Hills were ripped apart.

Rivers dried up.

The sky split open as dark cracks spread across the heavens.

Lightning struck the ground, charring the nearby trees.

One earthquake after another erupted as the earth tore apart.

A battle between three Rank 1 beings was something the newly transformed Mortal Realm could barely withstand.

Everyone focused on the battle.

Even Void, who was in Purgatory in the Upper Realm, was watching.

He sat leisurely with a box of popcorn in his hands, watching the fight with relish.

But unlike what the mortals saw, the battle looked completely different to him.

Leon was the Chosen One of this world.

Keith was the Devil—the antagonist.

Their Threads of Destiny were growing stronger through this battle as they intertwined.

Their fates were being woven together, rapidly evolving.

Void knew it.

This battle wasn’t simply about killing the tyrant of the Mortal Realm.

No.

Nekro was merely a catalyst for what was to come.

And today, everyone would witness something extraordinary.

A smile spread across Void’s face as his eyes lit up with anticipation.

---

Back in the Mortal Realm...

Keith began using his Element.

Whenever Nekro tried to attack, his arm would suddenly pause as his blood flowed backward, coagulated, or his brain experienced a sudden rush of blood.

His reaction speed was affected, allowing Leon and Kiro to take advantage of the openings and pound him with attacks.

Yet they could barely break through his scales.

Even though Leon had already reached High-Level Rank 1 while Nekro was only at Middle-Level Rank 1, Leon still wasn’t strong enough to overpower him.

Nekro simply tanked their attacks.

The Quasi-Rank 1 beings throughout the Mortal Realm watched the battle closely.

Among them was the recently rescued Rasel.

Her teeth were clenched as she watched the Mortal Realm being decimated by the battle.

If this had been the old Mortal Realm, it would have been ripped apart instantly.

Their speeds had already surpassed normal cognitive perception, leaving countless afterimages filling the sky.

Boom!

Leon traded blows with Nekro as Kiro charged from the side.

Nekro’s tail shot out like an arrow.

But just then, Nekro gritted his teeth as his tail suddenly slowed down.

This allowed Kiro, who was only a Low-Level Rank 1 being, to dodge the attack and slam his knee into Nekro’s face.

"This won’t work."

A terrifying pulse of energy was released, destroying an entire continent.

Nekro’s expression darkened.

Below them was a massive ocean.

It was instantly vaporized, revealing enormous monsters lurking in its depths.

One thing Nekro had noticed was that Leon and Kiro weren’t the real problem.

Their attacks could do little against him.

But Keith...

Keith was somehow able to control his blood.

How?

Anyway, it might be related to his Element or perhaps that was his Element which meant that, at this moment, the most dangerous person here was Keith.

Therefore, he had to eliminate him.

Even if both of them were demons.

Thinking of this, Nekro moved.

Leon and Kiro were blasted away as Nekro instantly appeared in front of Keith, who was standing some distance away.

Nekro grinned as he expected to see a shocked expression on Keith’s face but Keith was also grinning as he clenched his fist.

"I’ve been waiting for you."

Nekro heard Keith’s voice as keith threw a punch.

Bang!

The two collided.

A bright light erupted, followed by a massive shockwave.

The ground was ripped open.

Mountains disintegrated.

City after city was destroyed as a blood-hued aura enveloped Keith.

"Impressive... but I’m still stronge—"

Nekro’s words were cut short.

He suddenly felt a massive surge of energy slam into his chest.

His entire body’s blood seemed to slow down.

Boooooom!!!

The sky ripped apart even further as darkness covered the Mortal Realm.

Nekro was blasted thousands of miles away.

Keith took off after him.

He reached speeds of ten times the speed of light before kicking Nekro.

Boom!!!

Nekro was blasted away once again.

Another hundred cities were obliterated below as he crashed into an active volcano.

The volcano instantly erupted.

Leon and Kiro appeared stunned as they stared at Keith.

At this moment, the blood-hued aura completely covered Keith’s body.

His dark scales glinted beneath the crimson light.

Nekro emerged from the erupting volcano as Leon and Kiro looked between the two.

They looked similar. Kiro remembered Nekro’s earlier words.

Was Keith really a demon?

If so, weren’t they helping a demon kill another demon?

Everyone knew the chaotic nature of demons.

They were bloodthirsty creatures.

No...

This was Keith.

Keith was someone who wouldn’t hesitate to help him.

Just then, Kiro watched as Nekro suddenly appeared behind Keith.

His fist seemed to shatter space itself as it approached Keith’s head.

If that attack landed...

Keith would die.

So Kiro moved.

Bang!

Splurt!

Blood was vomited into the sky.

Nekro’s expression changed.

Keith had caught his fist.

Leon, meanwhile, was horrified as he stared at what had just happened in shock.
