Chapter 2528 Blown into the Wind
The moment Leonel's Dream Force progressed, his foundational strength rose from Tier One to Tier Two. At the same time, he went from having barely entered Tier Three to already being a large part of the way toward Tier Four.
The Life Tablet rumbled and wisps of the Snowy Star Owl condensed and rushed into Leonel's body. In that instant, Leonel was over 70% of the way to Tier Four. Another two or three creatures on this level and he would definitely reach that point. However, he wasn't thinking about that for the moment, or even the boots that the owl had been protecting. It was instead that he had forgotten the most valuable part of this Challenge.
Why was it that Clarence, when his back was against the wall, had chosen to do this? Well, it was in one part a "fuck you" to all the masterminds in the background trying to suppress the last bastion of the Human Race, but there was a deeper reason.
He wanted to use this as a chance to reach the Life State. He felt that it was his last chance to do so, and it was his last opportunity to save the Pavilion from falling into the hands of another race. This was a low tier Challenge Zone. However, even the lowest tier, which this wasn't, gave one help toward the insights of Dream Force that no other place could. If there was any place to use to progress your Dream Force, it was, without a doubt, this place.
He made a move toward another mountain range, his Internal Sight spread out far and wide. He wasn't in fear of being found anymore. In fact, just following the odds, he hoped that he would be found. His speed of progress was definitely far beyond everyone else's. That meant that the only threats to him right now, logically speaking, were probably those Owlans and the Pavilion Heads of the other two Pavilions as well as a few of the top brass.
It was a numbers game, and he felt that he would benefit from eliminating some competition right now. Although it seemed smarter to bide his time and wait until he was Tier Seven or higher to rush and kill everyone, this challenge had too many variables.
While it was true anyone else would need ten times more resources to advance as far as him, they could also challenge much stronger beasts and claim much stronger treasures as well. Right now, they were still getting used to the lay of the land and trying to find those advantages. If just say back, they could make up for their deficit against him just based on pure strength.
He couldn't allow that. However, what Leonel found first was completely out of his expectations. He froze, standing in place. Looking up, he found a haggard figure impaled by several small tree branches. These miniature crystalline trees became like barbed wires in the man's flesh.
This was a world where they hadn't even entered with their real bodies, they were just projections. To go through all this trouble to not directly kill a person, but to instead make them suffer such long, grueling, and agonizing pain... Just why?
He had just been thinking about this man, just been thinking about how close the Human Race was to ascending if they could just survive this one plight, if they could make it over this one hill. And yet, here he was now, breathing his last breaths. Clarence's Dream Force formed wisps in the air, disappearing like smoke blown into the wind.
Leonel stood in silence.Explore the beginning of this data at n0v^lbin★
