Chapter 29: The Battlefield of Sovereigns

As Dark Surgery Leon landed, the devastating shockwave immediately threw everyone at the location. Sylvie, staggering back, stared at Leonix with wide eyes. Her face showed pure shock. "It's impossible... how could his power have increased this much?" she muttered, realizing that the person she hated now far surpassed her.

Without warning, Dark Surgery Leon shot forward with unimaginable speed. [Visual effect: A flash of black lightning. A sizzling sound. A blurry movement.] He attacked Sylvie with incredible force, and in an instant, her left arm was severed.

Sound: SLASH! A metallic clang followed by a horrifying tearing sound.

With her regeneration magic, Sylvie managed to regrow her arm in an instant, but she couldn't hide her shock. "A devastating power I've never felt before," she whispered, a smile of pure interest forming on her face.

In the midst of the confusion, the two Demon Generals, Lucifer and Daemos, stood back up. They were about to attack Dark Surgery Leon, but before they could even move, their heads were suddenly decapitated, falling to the ground with a dull thud.

Visual: The heads of Lucifer and Daemos fall, but their bodies remain standing for a few seconds, as if unaware they are dead. No one saw the attack.

Shion and Albert, witnessing the terrifying sight, held their breath. "What... what was that?" Shion whispered. Albert, usually calm, now looked pale. "Incredible speed. Even I couldn't see it. That ancient black dragon... we're lucky he's not our enemy."

Dark Surgery Leon stood over their bodies, his dark aura blazing. He pointed at Sylvie. "Alright, let's tally up your sins."

A massive battle ensued. The two unleashed a flurry of attacks, the clash of their swords creating shockwaves that shook the ground and air. Alex, who had just regained consciousness, watched the battle from a distance. He was grateful his grandmother had been saved. His heart ached for Sylvie, but he knew this was destiny. He could only pray to the Black Dragon to end Sylvie's suffering quickly.

The battle continued until Dark Surgery Leon punched Sylvie toward the middle of the sea. The impact of the blow was so devastating that it split the ocean in two, leaving a dry path in the middle. Fishermen watching the scene from a distance could only stare in terror.

Visual: The ocean is split, water rising high on both sides, revealing the dry seafloor.

On the seafloor, Sylvie activated her "Celestial Armor." A white light enveloped her body, forming beautiful but tough white armor with a gleaming silver sword in her hand. She shot forward at full speed, hitting Dark Surgery Leon and throwing him to a hill, back to where the battle had begun.

Dark Surgery Leon stood back up. Without hesitation, he gathered dark energy in his sword and unleashed his "Hyper Orb Calibur Slash" magic toward Sylvie. The attack was so powerful its impact split a mountain behind Sylvie.

Sound: A sonic boom, followed by the rumbling of a mountain splitting apart.

Sylvie, who managed to dodge, was completely shocked. But her surprise was not over. Dark Surgery Leon, with his unimaginable power, hit a nearby hill as if playing golf. The hill flew through the air and sped toward Sylvie.

In the midst of all this chaos, a woman with white hair and eyes as blue as water appeared before Shion and Albert. Her aura felt calm and peaceful, a stark contrast to the darkness that dominated the battlefield.

"Who are you?" Shion asked, surprised.

"I am the embodiment of the White Dragon. I have come to stop Dark Surgery Leon," the woman said in a soft voice. "If the Black Dragon's power continues to rage, it could trigger Ragnarok and destroy this world."

She explained that Dark Surgery Leon's weakness was not physical, but a key figure named Seraphine. "Albert, you must tell the Seraphine of this time all the future memories that Shion has experienced. It will give her the power and awareness to fight Sylvie from within."

Albert nodded. "I understand. I will do it."

"Alex," the woman called out. "You will help them."

Alex, who had just arrived, was confused, but seeing the determination in Shion and Lilyan's eyes, he agreed. "Alright, anything to stop this."

In the end, they split up. The White Dragon woman and Albert would hold off the battle where they were. Meanwhile, Shion, Lilyan, and Alex would rush back to the city to find Seraphine of this time and give her the memories she needed. Their journey was now a race against time, against inevitable destruction.
