Ch 17: The Evolved Kalisio, Leo’s Light, Leo Lux

“Boom boom boom!”

The explosion Chen Yi expected didn’t happen; the crystal core on Kalisio’s head continuously glowed with purplish-black energy.

This energy shielded Chen Yi.

“Ugh!”

Chen Yi continuously increased the energy output power.

“Buzz!”

In an instant, the purplish-black energy erupted in a terrifying shockwave, blasting Chen Yi from above.

The powerful inertia caused Chen Yi to slide hundreds of meters; Chen Yi felt every part of his body tearing.

“How is this possible?”

Enduring the immense pain, Chen Yi slowly raised his head, looking towards the Level 10 monster, Kalifeiou, in the distance.

The next second, several Level 7 and Level 8 monsters appeared beside Kalisio.

They began to merge into Kalisio’s body. Instantly, the originally skeletal Kalisio’s body filled with flesh.

A crystalline dorsal fin appeared on its back.

And the crystal stones on its body looked even more terrifying.

This was Kalisio’s fused form with other monsters—the complete Kalisio.

“Ying, ying ying.”

The only thing unchanged was its disgusting sound.

For humanity, this is an impossible enemy to defeat. What can you use to win?

This is literally a Hell-level dungeon, Blue Star.

A Level 10 monster is already so strong; what if it’s Level 11 or 12?

“Whew.”

Chen Yi stood up, his gaze firm as he looked at the monster Kalisio.

“Older Brother, the opponent’s energy is incalculable.”

“The best plan is to escape and return later to defeat it.”

“No, Feili, if we run this time, there will be a next time.”

“And a time after that.”

“When you face a powerful enemy,”

“You will no longer possess that unwavering determination.”

“You will no longer possess that unwavering will.”

“People will become timid.”

“People will begin to lose battles without fighting when facing difficulties.”

“Beep, Older Brother, my brain is overloaded…”

Thankfully, this monster appeared here; if it had appeared in a densely populated city, Chen Yi couldn’t imagine what would happen.

Chen Yi’s expression held a hint of determination as he stared intently at the monster.

When facing even stronger enemies, the Lion Heart will burn even brighter.

The lion will roar in defiance, thirsting for battle.

Chen Yi closed his eyes; he could feel an unfamiliar energy gradually appearing in Leo’s body.

But that power was not yet mature; he needed battle to help it grow.

Then continuously split, change, and evolve this energy.

“Beep, Older Brother, it’s coming.”

The Kalisio before him exuded an overwhelming sense of pressure; every step it took, it instantly appeared before Chen Yi.

This time it wasn’t a spatial leap, but high-speed teleportation.

The next second, Chen Yi hadn’t even seen its movement before he was sent flying, and Kalisio continued its pursuit.

No matter where Chen Yi went, Kalisio would attack again and again, its rays coordinating with its attacks.

“Older Brother!”

The pendant on Chen Yi’s chest violently shook.

“I’m fine…”

“This guy… it’s actually mimicking my fighting style.”

“Whoosh whoosh.”

In the sky, only Kalisio’s flickering afterimage could be seen.

Chen Yi adjusted his posture in mid-air; this time, Kalisio appeared beside him.

A punch directly aimed at Chen Yi’s face.

“Boom!”

Chen Yi felt his brains churning from the force of that punch.

But this time, Chen Yi didn’t fly back.

“Got you.”

Seeing the fist close to his face, Chen Yi turned his head.

His left hand suddenly grabbed Kalisio’s right hand, his right hand filled with energy, punching repeatedly at the crystal core on Kalisio’s head.

It seemed that pain was adrenaline to Chen Yi; Kalisio, frightened, continuously used its rays to attack Chen Yi.

But Chen Yi was fearless; Chen Yi’s fist gathered more energy, and slammed into the crystal core on Kalisio’s forehead.

“Explode for me!”

“Bang!”

Chen Yi had smashed a large hole in the crystal core on Kalisio’s forehead.

“Ying, ying ying.”

This method of exchanging injuries filled Kalisio with fear.

It seized an opportunity to teleport away from Chen Yi.

It saw the Lion King crawling out of Hell, its mouth tearing at its spoils of war; even as a monster, it trembled slightly.

“Ying, ying ying.”

“Scared, are you?”

Chen Yi looked down at Kalisio from mid-air.

“Beep, Older Brother, your body is reaching its limit.”

“Don’t do this anymore.”

Chen Yi smiled faintly, took a deep breath, and expelled the turbid breath from his body.

“Feili, the red light isn’t even on; how can you say it’s at its limit?”

“Older Brother, Feili doesn’t understand what you’re saying.”

The energy within his body reached a complete sublimation at this moment.

Chen Yi seemed to hear a voice, a resolute and decisive voice.

When Chen Yi looked at Kalisio again, Kalisio had somehow summoned many clones.

The Kalisios were gathering energy enough to destroy a wasteland.

A gleam flashed in Chen Yi’s eyes as he laughed at Kalisio’s final struggle in the high sky.

Chen Yi retracted his left leg, his body slightly sideways, his fingers spread like dragon claws.

Then he held his hands level with the timer, his upper arms slowly moving backward, like a lion opening its bloody maw.

Then photon energy continuously poured into his arms, his arms forming an L-shape.

Chen Yi called this move the Guang Zhi Shizi De Nuhou （Roar of the Guang Zhi Shizi）, derived from the Latin words leo（ Lion） and lux（ light）.

Meaning the lion’s glory and splendor, the lion embodying glory, also a symbol of light.

“Leo Lux Ray!”

A fiery red beam of light continuously fired from Leo’s arm; its attack power exceeded that of the neutered M87 ray by dozens of times.

“Ying, ying ying.”

Kalisio’s dark rays also erupted.

The two terrifying energies collided, rapidly distorting space, but Chen Yi’s ray was superior.

The dark clouds covering the sky were swept away, the dazzling sun like the furious eyes of a lion, pronouncing Kalisio’s death sentence.

“Iya!”

Leo’s roar echoed through the wasteland, the energy of the ray increasing exponentially.

“You goddamn thing! Try absorbing this!”

Kalisio, which had been absorbing energy, let out a mournful cry.

“Ying, ying ying.”

The Leo Lux Ray directly devoured Kalisio.

In an instant, the violent explosion’s shockwave leveled everything within dozens of miles.

Below Chen Yi, a crater hundreds of meters deep appeared.

Chen Yi flew down and picked up a dark and magical crystal stone.

“Beep, Level 11 monster Kalisio’s crystal stone.”
