Blade Knight Chronicles

Volume 2: Chapter 10:

Leon sees this and was shocked to the core, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he yells furiously.

Suddenly, he starts glowing green again and another shockwave was released causing the giant lizard to stop in its tracks. It turned around and sees that Leon standing. He had nullified the effects of the paralysis and is now looking at the beast with such fury in its eyes.

In a blink of an eye, Leon managed to get Barbara out of the way as he stood in front of the armored lizard. The silhouette of a lion appeared, towering over the lizard, and it roared so loud, it caused the giant lizard to be thrown across the street, and crash into the ground.

The giant lizard was on the ground, unable to move. "Wh-what in the world just happened?" the beast muttered to itself, "It's so fast..." It then slowly leaned forward, trying to get up but it let out a gasp as it looked ahead of it.

Leon, still in this somewhat berserk state, stood there a few kilometers away from the beast as the lion silhouette is just behind him. The aura around them is so intimidating that the giant lizard couldn't find the strength to move!

"Now, now! Let's talk about this!" the giant lizard stuttered, 'I just need a few minutes to recover and escape' it thought to himself before it continued, "You win, okay? Can we be friends? I'm sure we can, right?"

No response from Leon. None except him drawing his twin blades from his back with a menacing look in his eyes, followed by the low growl of the lion above him.

"Oh crap," The giant lizard mumbled meekly. Just before the creature could make a run for it, Leon charged straight for it as the giant Lion silhouette pounced and blocked the lizard from going anywhere and Leon slides it to ribbons! SLASH!! BOOM!!

However, it was too late. As the smoke cleared, the giant lizard was nowhere to be seen, except for a charred leg and tail it left behind before being blown away by the wind, turning into ash.

Leon took several breaths as he was exhausted. He felt all the pain around his body just as he came to. His armor shifted back to his old clothes as his blades disappeared as well as the Lion silhouette.

As he breathed heavily, he looked around trying to see if anyone was there. Hoping to call for help, he tried to yell but choked and began coughing a lot. His exhaustion took over him as everything around him at that point went black but not without hearing a faint voice of a girl saying, "Someone's injured!... Over here!"

A couple of hours go by and Leon, still unconscious, can somewhat hear slow beeping sounds. Beep...Beep...Beep...Beep. He couldn't make out what he heard but felt needles piercing his skin as he slowly moved his fingers. As he slowly opens his eyes, he squinted for a bit as he saw a blinding light above him. He leaned forward for a bit and his vision starts to clear when he found himself in a hospital bed.

Leon was confused, 'How did I--' his trail of thoughts stopped when he sees Nicole sleeping with her head right next to the bed and Barbara who was curled up in the chair near the window.
