Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Leon VS Forsaken General [1]

The moment Leon felt the [Forsaken General]’s gaze lock onto him, something cold ran down his spine.

And without wasting even a fraction of a second, acting purely on instinct, he abandoned any thought of analyzing the situation further or trying to understand what kind of monster he was facing.

Deep down he already knew that none of that would matter if he stayed here even one second longer.

He didn’t even look at the panel that had appeared beside him, even though it was right there within reach, practically begging to be read.

Survival took priority over curiosity, and right now, everything about this situation screamed danger far beyond anything he had encountered so far in the [Forsaken City].

“Shit…”

Without hesitation, Leon activated one of the most important tools he had.

World Map!

A translucent panel instantly appeared in front of him, glowing faintly in the dark street as it expanded, revealing the entirety of the [Forsaken City] in a detailed layout that stretched far beyond what his eyes alone could perceive.

Just as he expected, the map displayed all the areas he had already explored with clarity.

The regions he hadn’t reached yet were swallowed by a thick layer of darkness, as if the city itself refused to reveal its secrets so easily, forcing him to carve his own path through it step by step.

From above, the city looked even more terrifying, with its endless maze of streets, collapsed buildings, and scattered ruins forming a chaotic structure.

And right at the very center of it all stood the [Forsaken Castle], marked clearly with a distinct icon that radiated an ominous presence even through the map itself.

But that wasn’t what Leon was focusing on.

His eyes immediately locked onto something else: a second icon.

It was a small flag. And right beneath it was written “Player Base.”

“Bingo,” Leon muttered under his breath, a faint grin forming despite the situation.

The [World Map] adapted dynamically to his surroundings and created landmarks based on what he discovered, meaning that as long as he had visited a place once, he could potentially return to it instantly.

And more importantly… It meant escape.

As long as he hadn’t fully engaged in combat yet, as long as no direct exchange had locked him into battle, his [Teleportation] should still work, allowing him to get out of this situation before it turned into something he couldn’t handle.

Without wasting another second, Leon selected the icon.

[Do you wish to teleport to “Player Base”?]

“Yes.”

His answer came immediately, sharp and decisive, because there was no room for hesitation here, not when the presence before him felt like death itself was breathing down his neck.

But right at that moment…

Fwoosh!

Dark tendrils suddenly erupted from the air around the panel, twisting and writhing like living shadows as they wrapped themselves around the interface, gripping it tightly before—

Crack!

The entire panel shattered into fragments of light.

[Unfortunately, something seems to block your teleportation.]

“…What?”

Leon’s eyes widened, the realization hitting him instantly as his heart sank.

He couldn’t escape. And at that exact same moment…

“…Kill… player…”

The voice came again, low and distorted, as the [Forsaken General] finally moved.

Fwoosh!

In less than a blink, the massive figure vanished from its previous position and reappeared directly in front of Leon, its towering form casting a shadow over him as its overwhelming presence crushed down on the surroundings.

Nearly four meters tall, clad in cracked armor leaking darkness, holding both a massive sword and a shield that radiated pure destruction, the general looked less like a creature and more like a walking embodiment of death itself.

“…Protect…”

Leon didn’t even have time to think.

Deep Darkness Barrier!

Slash!

The moment the barrier formed around him, the general’s sword came crashing down, and despite the defensive skill activating at full power, it shattered instantly upon contact, breaking apart like glass as the sheer force of the attack slammed into Leon’s body.

BOOM!

He was launched across the street, his body crashing violently into a nearby building before dropping to the ground amidst broken debris.

“Ghh—!”

Pain shot through him, but he didn’t stay down.

Leon forced himself back to his feet almost immediately, his instincts screaming at him as he prepared for the next attack, knowing full well that the general wouldn’t give him even a second to recover.

Undead Summon!

The ground beneath him cracked open as dozens of skeletons rose up, surrounding him in an instant, forming a temporary wall between him and the monster, just like he had done before against the [Forsaken Knights].

But this time…

SLASH!

The general swung its sword once. Just once.

A crescent wave of dark energy shot forward, slicing through the air and tearing through every single skeleton in its path, destroying all twenty-five of them in an instant as if they had never even existed.

Leon barely managed to duck under the attack at the last moment, feeling the air above him split apart as the wave passed over his head.

He pushed himself backward, creating distance as he raised his staff.

Powerful Fireball! Torrent of Lightning! Vines of Torment! Blood Beam!

He unleashed everything he had in one burst, spells colliding with the general from all directions in a desperate attempt to slow it down, to create even the smallest opening he could use to escape.

But… Nothing happened.

The flames exploded against its armor. Lightning struck it repeatedly.

Vines wrapped around its body. The blood beam pierced straight toward its chest.

And yet, when the smoke cleared, the general was still standing exactly where it had been, completely unaffected, its armor untouched as if Leon’s attacks had been nothing more than a light breeze.

“…Weak.”

That single word hit harder than any of the attacks yet.

Leon clenched his jaw. If running wasn’t an option, then he needed to create one.

Without hesitation, he dashed forward.

Clang!

His sword struck the general’s shield, but the monster reacted instantly, countering with a brutal bash that sent Leon flying once again, crashing into the ground with enough force to crack the stone beneath him.

Leon spat some blood.

But this time… Something changed.

Celestial’s Might!

A terrifying pressure erupted from Leon’s body, invisible yet overwhelming as it surged toward the general, striking it directly.

And for the first time, the general actually reacted.

It took a step back. Its movements faltered slightly.

“…What…?”

Confusion flickered within its presence, and Leon didn’t waste that moment.

He immediately activated [Appraisal] once more to check the monster’s panel.
