Chapter 980
Harold gasped in horror, not at all expecting that Leon would have prepared a secret weapon against him.
His attack froze in its track momentarily as he shifted his energy to protecting himself against Leon’s needles, but it
was too late. the last of Harold’s channeled energy still managed to catch Leon and struck him squarely in his
chest.
Leon spat out a mouthful of blood as his lean body was sent propelling into the air, finally landing in a crumpled
heap a few meters away from where he stood.
Then, an excruciating pain shot through his entire body. It seemed that at least three or four of his ribs were
broken, and it was clear he suffered other substantial injuries.
However, fortunately, his needles momentarily distracted Harold, and if he met Harold’s attack head–on, he would

“Take this, you twat!” Harold cackled. Leon was always his enemy, and thus he could not hesitate when it came to
destroying Leon once and for all!
Without giving Leon any time to react, Harold sent another surge of energy blasting Leon’s way, heading. straight
toward the crown of his head.
‘Oh no!‘ Leon thought as his heart sank, watching the energy zip straight toward him. He wanted to dodge, but he
was no match for Harold at all, and he knew that no matter how hard he tried, he could not get away from Harold
at all.
“Harold Lowe, you’d better retreat while you still can!” All of a sudden, George’s voice rang out from behind
them.
Unbeknownst to them, he already sprung into action the moment Harold attempted to seize Ruth, and seeing that
Harold was about to kill Leon, George materialized before him and sent a powerful surge of energy to counter him.
“Thud-”
A loud slam ensued as George’s energy ripped apart Harold’s, piercing through the air and surging straight
toward him.
“No!” Harold gasped in horror as he quickly retreated backward, but it was too late–George’s powerful attack
landed squarely in the middle of his chest.
Harold spat out a mouthful of blood as his body was propelled backward like a kite without its string, and collapsed
in a heap on the ground.
At least five or six of his ribs were broken in this process, and his condition was far worse than Leon’s.
“Harold, I’ll rid you of your name as the Northern King right this instant!” George gritted his teeth in rage.
Harold first took Ruth hostage and injured her, then tried to recapture her again by deceiving Leon. His

“Rats!” the color drained from Harold’s face. He intended to kill Leon once and for all, but he made a new
enemy in the process.
However, he was the Northern King after all, and would not admit defeat so easily. At this last moment, he rolled
over a few times, utterly disregarding his dignity as king, and managed to dodge George’s attack.
Finally, he picked himself off the ground haphazardly.
“Take this again!” George stormed forwards and sent wave after wave of true energy rushing Harold’s way.
Harold knew that he was no match for George at all and thus did not attempt to counter his attack. Instead, he
focused on defense, darting left and right to evade George’s attack.
However, George already attained the Intermediate Overlord State and was far more powerful than Harold was,
and even though he managed to dodge George’s attacks with this tactic, he inevitably fell victim to several of
George’s powerful strikes.
