Chapter 14: The War’s Turning Point – A Supreme’s Rise

The battlefield was a storm of chaos.

Leon stood amidst the ruins, his body thrumming with newly unlocked Supreme Energy. He was no longer the same man who had stepped into this battle. His strength had evolved, his instincts sharpened, and the chains that had once held back his potential were now shattered.

Varkos Bloodfang, towering and unwavering, stood before him, blood dripping from his forehead. His grin remained, but his eyes held something new—caution.

"You surprise me, Supreme Leader," Varkos admitted, rolling his shoulders. "Most men crumble under me, yet here you stand."

Leon exhaled, feeling the rush of power coursing through him. "Then let me give you something new to remember."

Varkos chuckled, gripping his abyssal greatsword. "Good. Let's see how far you can really go."

And then, they clashed.

Supreme Instinct vs. Abyssal Domination

Varkos moved like a beast, his massive sword cutting through the air with devastating force. The very ground shattered beneath his swings, sending shockwaves rippling outward.

But Leon was faster.

He dodged the first strike—then the second.

With every movement, he wasn't just evading—he was analyzing.

His mind processed each attack, breaking it down. The way Varkos's muscles tensed before a swing, the way his balance shifted—it all became data.

And then—Leon countered.

He stepped into Varkos's blind spot, his fist moving with Supreme Force.

🔥 A direct strike to the warlord's ribs.

Varkos grunted, staggering. But instead of retreating, he grinned.

"Not bad."

Then, faster than Leon expected, Varkos grabbed his wrist.

Abyssal Energy exploded.

Leon's vision blurred as his body was flung like a comet, crashing into the ruins behind him.

The Cost of Power – Can Leon Win?

Leon coughed, blood staining his lips.

Varkos strode toward him, his aura darkening. "You're strong. But you don't understand real power."

Leon wiped his mouth. "Then I guess it's time to change that."

His Supreme Instinct surged again—but something was different.

[Selene]:"Leon, your Supreme Path is expanding. Your body is attempting to integrate the energy of the Abyss."

Leon's eyes widened.

Abyssal Supreme Fusion.

He could feel it—the connection he had gained from the ritual.

But could he control it?

Varkos raised his sword. "Last chance. Kneel."

Leon smirked. "Not in this life."

Breaking Limits – Supreme Fusion Activates

Leon closed his eyes.

He allowed the energy to flow—not rejecting it, but embracing it.

His Supreme Energy fused with Abyssal Power, his aura darkening, but his will remained unchanged.

🔥 His body felt weightless.🔥 The battlefield slowed around him.🔥 And when his eyes opened—his pupils burned with cosmic light.

Varkos hesitated. "What…?"

Leon moved.

Faster than before. Stronger than before.

He closed the distance in an instant.

His fist slammed into Varkos's chest—and this time, the warlord was sent flying.

The battlefield fell silent.

The warriors of Bloodfang watched in shock.

Varkos crashed into the earth, coughing violently.

Leon stood tall. "Not so invincible now, are you?"

The War's Conclusion – A Supreme's Rise

Varkos struggled to rise. He stared at Leon—at the power radiating from him.

Then, he grinned.

And laughed.

"You really are something else," he admitted, wiping the blood from his mouth. "Fine."

He raised a hand—and the Bloodfang warriors froze.

Then, with a smirk, he nodded. "This war is yours, Supreme Leader."

Leon narrowed his eyes. "You're surrendering?"

Varkos exhaled. "No. I'm acknowledging you."

He rose to his feet, towering over Leon, but this time, he bowed his head.

"You beat me. That means my men are yours—if you'll have us."

Silence.

Then—a roar of approval from the Forsaken.

Leon exhaled slowly. This wasn't just a battle.

This was the moment he became a true ruler.

Meanwhile… Celeste Takes Action

Celeste moved through the halls of the grand palace, her steps determined.

She remembered everything.

And now—she was searching.

For him.

She had lost Leon once.

She wouldn't lose him again.

And she would do whatever it took to find him.
