Leon did not waver and took the blow with the Mirror of Sovereign.


    Meanwhile, the Earthly Plunder tore through the weakest point of Gaston''s attack and darted toward


    Gaston''s chest.


    Gaston needed a defensive tool like Leon. On top of that, he underestimated Leon and did not think


    there was a possibility that Leon could withstand his attack.


    Hence, he was defenseless when Leon''s Earthly Plunder pierced through his true energy.


    By the time he realized what was happening, Leon''s Earthly Plunder was merely inches away from him


    and it was toote for him to dodge.


    "Oh, no!" He paled.


    However, he was still a martial artist in the Semi-Almighty State and would not simply stand still when


    under attack.


    At the veryst moment, he summoned all the remaining true energy and tilted his body to avoid taking


    the blow in the chest.


    Leon''s attack ended upnding on his shoulder instead.


    The Earthly Plunder struck and left a bloody wound on Gaston''s shoulder.


    He grunted in pain and paled, before backing up a few steps and falling onto the ground.


    "What? Was he defeated? How''s that possible?" Everyone, including Renee, Bucky, and Aurelia,


    rubbed their eyes in disbelief.


    They thought that with Gaston''s power, he could surely destroy Leon with ease.


    To their bewilderment, they could not have been more wrong.


    Leon remained unscathed and even managed to injure Gaston with a single blow.


    This was so surreal that they were all shaken.


    Renee, who thought that she knew Hugh and the extent of his power, was initially devastated because


    she thought Hugh was destined to die.


    Yet, a miracle took ce and Leon somehow managed to defeat Gaston with a single finger.


    Amid her shock, she was both excited and pleasantly surprised.


    "No, this can''t be!" Gaston snapped out of it and held his shoulder as he struggled to get up from the


    ground, his expression dark.

    Like the two older martial artists from the Grimstons, he could tell that Leon was in the Advanced


    Emperor State based on Leon''s speed and explosive power.


    This meant that Leon was far weaker than he was and should not be able to fend off his attack.


    To his bewilderment, Leon seeded in fending off his attack and even managed to injure him in the


    process.


    This was so surreal that he could not figure out how Leon managed to aplish that and could not


    bring himself to ept what just happened.
