262: All-round control, outnumbered

Chapter 262: Completely Cornered, Outnumbered

Although Fama greatly disliked being bossed around by a junior, he had to admit that Dick's command felt... exceptionally comfortable.

Simply put, there was absolutely no need to use his brain.

Fama only needed to obey orders, strike where directed, expend the least effort, and achieve the greatest result.

The same went for Donald and Kun; rather, the man and the demon had long been accustomed to Dick's commands and simply acted according to orders in the encirclement operation.

Soon, in less than two minutes, Leon was defeated.

He was shot through the abdomen by an arrow from Donald and fell onto the back of a White Feather Beast like a kite with a broken string, losing consciousness.

Leon was not reckless; he had considered escaping, but Fama cast a barrier, completely sealing all escape routes.

And Kun, who was immune to magic, extended hundreds of thousands of branches, continuously compressing Leon's living space.

Donald himself was a high-level Archer, a strong individual almost on par with Leon, so his archery skills were naturally excellent.

Although Leon was very agile, due to Kun's constant entanglement, he was like a fixed target in Donald's eyes.

Even towards the end of the battle, the other spectators also took action.

Alice blasted a few magic spells, Cecilia threw a few flying daggers, and Victoria also drew her bow and shot a few arrows...

In the last few seconds before Leon lost consciousness, he was completely bewildered.

Why was the Lightning Prison Magic Array he painstakingly set up, which was incredibly hidden, so easily broken by Dick in just a few minutes...

Why was he clearly fighting someone superior, yet Fama, who had the advantage, didn't fight fair, and a group of people came to encircle him...

Why did he feel a sense of powerlessness, as if the entire battle process was like struggling in a quagmire, sinking deeper and deeper...

He couldn't escape, he couldn't win, and all his actions were being predicted; the situation was nothing but despair!

This shouldn't be; Snow Maiden had clearly prophesied that he was the chosen one, one of the few who would stand at the peak in the future, so how could he fall here...

As the black clouds had been blown away by Fama's magic, the rain had stopped and the sky was clear; the setting sun leaned against the horizon, and the sky was filled with fiery clouds.

Under this afterglow of the setting sun, Leon's assassination plan ended in failure.

Seeing that the situation was decided, Victoria lifted her long skirt and slowly walked to the side of the unconscious Leon.

Dick cast a magic spell, lifting Leon's purple mask and revealing a handsome, delicate young face.

"Snow Elf Clan?"

"So young?"

Donald and Fama simultaneously exclaimed, but their points of surprise were different.

Donald was surprised that Leon was of the same race as him, while Fama was surprised that the person who challenged him was actually a young man.

A strange sense of loss welled up in his heart.

Fama was nearing the end of his lifespan and only gained such strength at the very end of his life, but Leon was so young...

In contrast, Fama could only marvel at Leon's astonishing talent and feel helpless about himself.

So-called growth is accepting one's own mediocrity.

Fama had always known that he was just an ordinary Mage; he was just a little lucky and put in several times the effort of ordinary people to achieve his current strength.

But all of this seemed insignificant in front of the young Leon.

However, life is unpredictable; the victor who survives is always stronger than the loser.

"Princess, should we interrogate him or kill him directly?"

Hearing this, Victoria pondered for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No need to interrogate, just kill him directly. The mastermind must be treacherous officials and rebels within the country."

Leon was clearly a bounty hunter, and the person who commissioned him was either the Amyria Royal Family or political enemies of the Toya Empire.

Dick's brilliant command just now was seen by Victoria; his dedication precisely indicated that Leon was not hired by the Amyria Royal Family.

And since it was a political enemy from the Toya Empire, there was nothing to interrogate; as for who it was, Victoria actually had a good idea in her heart.

Furthermore, the bounty hunter market keeps client information absolutely confidential, so Leon definitely wouldn't know who his employer was.

Of course, the most important thing was that Victoria also planned to carry out a major purge after inheriting the throne, killing all suspects.

"Your subject understands."

Fama nodded slightly without saying much, intending to casually execute Leon.

Donald watched indifferently from the side; although they were of the same race, he did not know Leon and saw no need to plead for him.

However, just as Fama was about to act, Dick waved his hand to stop him.

"Princess, this person cannot be killed; he has a greater use."

Hearing this, Victoria looked puzzled, frowning as she looked at Dick and said, "Could it be... you know him?"

"Leon Bit, he is the young master of the Bit Family, the future head of the Bit Family!"

"Is, is he from the Bit Family, the head of the three great families in the Eternal Frost Forest?!"

Victoria was completely stunned; she never expected that this bounty hunter who came to assassinate her would have such a special identity.

Fama on the side looked somewhat disbelievingly at Dick and said, "That's impossible. I heard that the young master of the Bit Family went to the Snow Goddess Sect for further study. How could he possibly come here to be a bounty hunter?"

"No... he is indeed Leon Bit."

At Dick's instruction, Donald on the side squatted down, pulled off Leon's black robe, and turned him around, revealing the back of his neck.

"Look, this is the snowflake pattern only found in the direct lineage of the Bit Family. The larger the area, the more noble his bloodline!"

Listening to Dick's explanation, everyone looked at the back of Leon's neck and were surprised to find that it was completely covered with beautiful snowflake patterns!

This area precisely proved the nobility of Leon's bloodline; it was not an exaggeration to say that he was the young master of the Bit Family.

"But our Snow Elf Clan is generally skilled in ice elemental magic, and our profession is mainly Archer. Why is this Leon..."

Donald murmured; this was the part he found unbelievable. Leon's appearance controlling lightning just now left a deep impression on him, but this was nothing like what a Snow Elf should be like.

Dick glanced at the lightning elemental magic power flowing around Leon, which was as vast as a river or sea, and slowly said, "So that's why he went to the Snow Goddess Sect for further study."

As the only religion in the Eternal Frost Forest, the Snow Goddess Sect's doctrine promotes "harmonious coexistence between man and nature," achieving "follow nature, become nature, control nature."

Leon possesses the incredibly overbearing Thunder God Sword Physique, which means he has difficulty controlling his own power, so he went to the Snow Goddess Sect for help.

After all, lightning is also a type of natural element, and controlling lightning aligns with the Snow Goddess Sect's doctrine.

And now it seems that Leon's study at the Snow Goddess Sect was very successful.

He not only perfectly controlled lightning but also became an unparalleled Magic Swordsman expert. At this rate, it is not impossible for Leon to become a Swordsman Hero in the future!

"Princess, you should be clearer than I am about Leon's importance," Dick said slowly.

Victoria was very smart and immediately understood Dick's hint, smiling beautifully as she said, "Excellent! This Leon will be the best gift I give to my father!"

The Eternal Frost Forest has always been exclusive; they are self-contained and refuse diplomatic cooperation with any country.

Leon's identity is so special that he might become a stepping stone, opening the door of the Eternal Frost Forest that has been frozen for millions of years.
