114: Hannibal

He didn't give the First the chance to talk and gave him a punch in the face but like Crow he felt something that similar to when he got infected with virus.  
『Sir it is the same power that wants to infiltrate me. Please be careful when making contact.』 
Leon frowned before he went and move closer again to deliver a combo of punches and kicks. But the First can catch up to his attacks without even breaking a sweat. The impact in each blows makes the surrounding wind wild and violent which had causes for everyone to take shelter to anything that will not make them being taken by the wind. 
"My father once told me, villains have long lives but you exceeded them all!" Leon rolled his eyes and attack. He want to erase the smug face that is hanging in his face but his attacks were not making damages. 
"What did you do to yourself? Do you still call yourself a human?" Although he doesn't really care, he has to buy some time for the skill to activate. The First laughs almost as if to insanity. Leon felt annoyed more.
"I am more than a human! These people that you are trying to save are merely just supplies for me to achieve the greatness and break the wall that prevented for us to be mighty!" His hands are open wide and his eyes bore madness with no hope for being saved.  
"Crazy." 
"What---" Leon plunges towards him and cut him with his sword that is coated with fire. He completely removed his head and it rolled to the ground. Leon flick the sword and the remaining blood in its blade splutter around. Good thing that his ki energy could make damage with his disgusting regeneration ability.
"There is no more than being a human for us. Beyond that is just false hope." He was about to check the others when he heard slithering sound like a snake behind him. It was about to take a grasp of his neck that's why he jumps and avoided the arm that had extended to an unbelievable length. It shoot towards the man that didn't get the chance to run away. His head was being grasp by the First' hand and slowly red light came out which devoured the body whole without leaving anything at all except a few droplets of blood.  
The head that was severed had now completely become intact and it's looking angrily towards Leon.  
"Youuuu!" The red light that is only from his glove started to coat his whole body and small strand like hair started to spread around which give an alarm feeling towards Leon. He coated once again his sword with elements before he pour his ki energy to the blade and tried to cut the strands that had been shoot around although it had severed, he felt that the sword had lost its elements and that means... it could also absorb power from object as well.  
"Do you think you could defeat me with just that? Look at your pathetic people energizing me up. You raise them well!" Leon's muscle couldn't help but shake. He couldn't restrain himself and uses the needle towards the First which immediately notice that his power is being extracted. He grab the needle by just feeling it and Leon is surprise but what made him shock is that the needle is actually receiving damages because of him.  
Leon jumped backward and gain some distance but when he see what had happened to the people that once had shown their smile to him and now being deduce into none, it hurts his heart and he doesn't know what to do but then that when his needle decided to do things his way.  
It started to spin in the air and had created a vortex that had caught the attention of the First and stop from extracting more power. Leon was confused but when the system pop multiple times his suprised is changed into admiration.  
『Auto combat proposed by the Devourer's Pinch is accepted. Authorization to use skills had been given.』 
『Skill >amplification< is used.』 
『Skill >double trouble< is used.』 
『Skill >increase< is used.』 
『Warning!!! Energy accumulated will cause a burst if let unattended. Advise to release it is urgent!』 
"Oi oi, are you kidding me?! What are you planning to do?!!" He was about to go and run towards them when the vortex being made by the needle slowly being suck by the First but it wasn't enough. 
Seeing this Leon look around of the fallen monsters and humans that is also looking at him weakly. Then one of the creature near him grab his ankle weakly. He sits down and went closer. 
"Sir great devourer... please... use us instead... Defeat the... enemy. My family... danger.." He is an orken warrior that had lost his arms but is still alive. Leon was taken a back but he knows that to defeat an enemy that has a supernatural regenerative ability, he needed to do what is right. 
But he is one step late. 
『Skill >savor the believers< is used.』 
While continuously feeding the First that is enjoying all the free power, he didn't even notice what is the needle planning to do. Shoot out from the needle is a little version of it and went to all the humans and monsters that willingly gave their life for him.  
Within seconds it all went to the needle and that's when the First notice it. His eyes were about to pop and the veins inside of his body started to burst. He was about to tell something but his throat were being clogged with blood. Due to his extreme regenerative ability, his veins were reconstructing and destroyed multiple times before his body made changes. 
Leon seeing this couldn't help but feel pity for him. His skin started to crack and become sag. It seems like he is transforming back, his age is continuing to increase in a rapid rate.  
And Leon couldn't believe at what he saw. There is something about destiny that both beautiful and cruel. On one side it mends severed ties in almost an instant but cruel when that time is up. It was only a bliss and hatred follows to a bad parting while the latter wouldn't last as well. 
"What... you? How? Why it has to be you? Euclid!" Leon shouted and the First smiled in his direction. But anyone could see that there is a cloud in his eyes which make him out of his mind. The needle still feeding it with the power that the little needles are extracting for him and there is still a lot to gather.  
Leon is restless but he couldn't move since when he do so, the effort the needle had been doing since earlier will be for nothing.  
The First Euclid Gunther Brave is still being drunk in power but the cracks are now pretty obvious in his skin. Leon couldn't understand what he feels but when the final crack has been place in his body, it glows extremely bright before it was in the brink of explosion. Leon's mind sparks as if millions of ideas had entered his empty mind and there is only one thing that actually execute it into action.  
"NEEEEEEEDDLEEEEE!" But he doesn't have to shout since the needle knows already what to do. 
『Skill >accelerate burp< is used.』 
The last skill was only made for support to the needle if there is a time that it needed to digest what it devours and to execute another action. The skill name might be weird but the ability is to be praise at. The moment the explosion was about to spread out, the needle suck the impact until the bright light become darkness. 
Leon couldn't see anyone around and don't know where to go but when he was about to go to the opposite side, he felt an urgency in his heart and a voice of a crying woman. 
[FATHER!!! HELP US!!!!] 
Leon uses >teleportation< and he instantly transmitted to where Amaris was. He caught a mass of tissue about to devour the eggs while Amaris was limp at the ground, hopelessly looking at her children that was about to be devoured without a fight. Leon immediately let the needle devoured every last bit of the disgusting chunk of insides.  
Before he could even heal Amaris, Leon had fallen to the ground and become unconscious.  
---- 
Leon felt softness of the surface behind his back. It seems like he lost his consciousness again. Before he went out he saw the system's message for him to not worry and he will do everything to supress the disaster until Leon regain his consciousness again. 
Throb. 
Leon touch his heart when he felt and hear a beating but it wasn't from his own heart. When he open his eyes, he was inside the same cotton and web room but the difference would be people together inside. 
"Are you sure it was alright for us to be here? What if we disturb your bonding?" 
"Right Miss Amaris, also it seems like the Lord is still sleeping." Leon wanted to listen more but then he felt a stinging gaze that is piercing his body. 
That is his cue to get up from being laid in bed. Upon opening his eyes, he saw the eggs were shaking controllably with cracks everywhere. But unlike Amaris' eggs before, they are kind of soft and gentle but what had attract Leon's eyes is the sole egg that is quite far from the rest who is placed side by side.  
"I told you he will wake up today. How are you feeling father?" Amaris is in front of the eggs and waiting for it to hatch. Beside him is the egg and he is right behind it.  
"What happened?" Leon asked but he was sent by a death glare by Amaris and gestured him to shut up. Leon gestured back with a 'what'? But no one paid attention to him which makes him somewhat annoyed. Since they don't like to talk with him. He just went to check the system instead.  
Multiple screens had popped in his eyes and he read them all one by one. 
『Day 1 of defending the territory in the stead of the host. No abnormal activity detected. Dangerous level still being suppressed. People are trying to go back to their lives. The count has been started, please wait...』 
『Count done successfully. Living beings: 2032. There are 321 people less than the usual count. 』 
『Radiation count is getting higher every minute but the host's power is still more than sufficient to put a lid to it and overflows.』 
『Invasive virus that had been detected earlier had completely eliminated with the needle's help. Further information that had collected had proven the pact of the three sides; Seats, monsters and the Elites. The First Seat named Euclid Gunther D Brave said to be a blood relative of the popular Elite Gunther D Brave. It is stated that some of the seat holder were blood relative of the Elites. 』 
『The vaccine was made from the Everlasting serum that is found in a local system. It was mixed with the Earth product. It was first tested to rats and rabbits and the immediate reaction had made the scientist hopeful. When they thought it was successful to prevent any illness and diseases, they had administered everyone with the same vaccine but the Seats want more result and so they waited for a more improved serum. That's why the upgraded serum with unknown substance were administered to the Seat. Though the First didn't just get it but got the counter substance as well. 』 
『It was confirmed from invading the Seat's computer database back at the Hall that there is someone higher than the Seats and names of the previous Elites were listed which had strongly supported the theory.』 
Leon is still absorbed by all the reports that is laid before his eyes that he miss the cracking and finally coming out of two beautiful pixies and hug their mama in front of everyone else. Crow, Limuel and the goboline shaman with the orken warrior were all overjoyed that they forgot that there is one more that needed to be hatch.
