My Love Debts Are Everywhere!-Chapter 627: The Battle of Two Sword Heroes - Part 2
*Whoosh!*
Both of them shot forward from their starting positions and clashed in the center, their arms colliding with force.
*Boom!*
A devastating shockwave burst out, rippling in all directions.
Guren glared at the man he hated most and shouted, "Leon! Today, I'll defeat you and kill you!"
He pulled his right hand back, spun around, and delivered a powerful kick to Leon's left side.
BUKH!
The strike was so fast and strong that Leon couldn't react in time—his body was hurled to the side violently.
Wasting no time, Guren bent his knees and launched himself forward.
He appeared above Leon in an instant, twisted mid-air, and brought his heel crashing down.
*Bang!*
Leon's body slammed into the ground, forming a crater two meters deep.
But Guren wasn't the kind to give his enemy a chance to recover.
He lunged again and smashed his fist into Leon's jaw.
*Bang!*
The blow sent Leon flying skyward. Seconds later, Guren was already waiting for him mid-air.
Clenching his right fist, he drove it hard into Leon's stomach.
*Bang!*
Leon's body shot across the sky before crashing to the ground, bouncing for hundreds of meters.
Still, Guren showed no mercy. He reappeared above Leon and struck him again—this time, a brutal punch to the head.
*Boom!*
The force shattered the earth below, carving a crater four meters deep.
Leon lay motionless, his body in disarray.
Floating in the sky, Guren laughed triumphantly. "Hahaha! What's wrong, Leon? Why are you so weak?"
"Ahem..." Leon coughed softly as he struggled to rise.
He brushed the dirt from his robe and straightened his slightly disheveled hair.
His expression remained calm and composed, as if Guren's powerful blows hadn't affected him in the slightest.
"Nice attack," he said with a faint smile. "I didn't block or counter on purpose—I wanted to test my new physical strength. Unfortunately..."
He looked up, a playful glint in his eyes. "You've disappointed me."
"You..."
His mocking words instantly reignited the rage and hatred burning inside Guren.
What he hated most was being looked down on. Since childhood, he had lived alone. Only Velix had ever truly cared for him.
He had always envied Leon, Luna, and Valen—those chosen by the three Holy Weapons.
And him? He was just the fourth hero, someone who seemed like he shouldn't even exist.
Years of anger, resentment, and self-loathing had built up inside him until he finally seized the chance to become the Sword Hero. frёewebnoѵēl.com
But what was the outcome?
He held the title for less than a month. Leon—that damn man—was still alive. And once again, he stood in his way.
All the emotions he had kept buried erupted at that moment, fierce and overwhelming.
"Leon!" he shouted.
*Boom!*
A surge of holy power erupted from his body, shooting into the sky and forming a colossal white dragon, dozens of meters long.
His eyes blazed with blinding white light, and the symbol of the hero's destiny burned brightly on his forehead.
The space around him warped and twisted, as if it could collapse at any second.
Anyone else would have trembled in fear at the sight.
After all, the hero's destiny was a unique power granted only to chosen heroes—a force capable of multiplying their strength many times over.
Yet Leon remained calm and unshaken, as if Guren's display wasn't enough to pose any real threat.
He didn't even bother to summon his chaos power or holy power.
*Buzz!*
A dragon aura ignited around him, enveloping his body.
The small wounds on his skin healed instantly, and his robe restored itself to pristine condition.
The robe was made from dragon skin—a special creation crafted by Athena, renowned for its regenerative properties.
*Roaar!*
A massive golden dragon avatar appeared behind Leon, releasing a thunderous roar that echoed in all directions.
Leon and Guren locked eyes, cold and unyielding.
Moments later...
*Whoosh!*
Like a gust of wind, both vanished from their places and collided midair.
*Boom!*
Their impact unleashed another shockwave, far greater than the last.
"Arrgh!" Guren yelled, raising his fist high before swinging it toward Leon.
Unlike before, his fist now radiated holy power, its destructive force amplified dozens of times over.
Anyone struck by that punch would be shattered instantly.
But Leon didn't flinch. He brought his hands together, and in an instant, dragon ribs erupted, forming a protective armor that enveloped his entire body.
*Boom!*
Guren's powerful blow slammed into the armor with full force.
Leon's body was thrown downward, crashing hard into the ground—but he remained unharmed.
His feet stayed firmly planted despite the cracks spidering beneath him.
The dragon rib armor held strong—only a faint crack where Guren's strike had landed.
"What incredible defense!" Leon's eyes widened in awe.
Though he carried only half dragon blood, it was pure—directly descended from the Dragon Progenitor.
Even the Dragon Ancestor's blood wasn't as pure as his. Only Athena's could rival that level of purity.
In fact, he could also transform into a true dragon, like Athena or the Dragon Ancestor.
Unfortunately, his mastery over that power was far from perfect. Since arriving in Morvhal City, he'd been working hard to deepen his control.
Just three days ago, he had finally managed to form his dragon ribs—though not yet in their perfected form.
What he hadn't expected was that this armor could withstand Guren's devastating blow even in Hero's Destiny mode.
"This is amazing," Leon murmured, excitement bubbling inside him.
He couldn't wait to see the true form of his dragon someday.
It would be incredible, he was sure of it.
"Damn you, Leon! Even now, you still don't take me seriously!"
Guren's shout echoed from the side.
Before Leon could react, another powerful strike from Guren slammed into him.
Leon's body was sent flying, but thanks to the dragon ribs protecting him, he escaped injury.
Spinning through the air, Leon shed the dragon ribs and fixed Guren with a sharp glare.
"Alright. I'll take you on."
Without hesitation, Leon charged forward, launching a fierce assault.
The two clashed in a brutal battle—one moment Guren landed a strike, and the next Leon retaliated with equal force.
Neither gained the upper hand. Their power was evenly matched, and their movements were so fast they blurred beyond the naked eye.
"Hahaha! Got you!" Guren laughed coldly, spotting an opening.
His body twisted swiftly, appearing behind Leon in an instant.
He pulled back his right hand, ready to strike Leon's back—when suddenly, something unexpected happened.
Leon's figure blurred into a shadow… then disappeared.
"What!?" Guren froze, horror flashing across his face.
Before he could react, a cold voice whispered from behind him—laced with mocking laughter.
"You fool…"
**Boom!**
