I, without any personality, become a hero!

"However, this is just a tactic used by 'Fang Hunter,' you foolish servant, you should be glad that 'Fang Hunter' is on your side now."

"Besides the usual abilities of Blood Realm Familiars, there's flight, transformation, bloodline gates..."

After giving a brief list of examples, Shinobu Oshino decided not to waste time on unnecessary words and went straight to telling Leo the most important information.

"The most important thing about being a Blood Realm familiar is that high-ranking familiars possess unique abilities. Normally, it might take some time to discover and master them... But you foolish servant, if you're going to fight the 'King of Despair,' you can only pray that you can awaken your familiar ability during the battle. Perhaps then you'll have a chance of winning..."

There wasn't much time to explain to Leo. After quickly implementing the plan to rescue Shiro, Shinobu Oshino teleported away with Klaus and Shiro, while Leo stayed behind to fight against the "King of Despair".

There is absolutely no possibility of that. At present, Leo is being overwhelmed and abused by the "King of Despair". He can only do his best to protect himself. Because the opponent has taken over William's body, Leo is restrained and dares not attack. He is very passive.

"Leonardo Watch...do you know him?"

Suddenly stopping his attack, the "King of Despair" addressed Leo, saying:

"For me, there's actually no need for a second 'Great Collapse'; destroying Helsaremz Roth would be extremely simple."

With a clenched fist, all the buildings floating in the "Eternal Void" were pulled by an invisible force and instantly converged to cover Leo. Because there were so many ruins and they were so vast, Leo, who had no time to dodge, was completely trapped in the deepest part of the layers of envelopment.

"See—like this, it's very simple, right?"

The words of the King of Despair pierced through the barriers and reached Leo's ears. The ruins he had gathered had completely formed a giant sphere, and were even continuing to compress inwards.

"Damn it...then why did you even bother with the 'Great Collapse'?!"

Resisting the crushing force, Leo felt his whole body creaking. Although he could be resurrected even if he was crushed into mincemeat as a Blood World Familiar, Leo did not want to end up in that miserable state.

"These are the rules of the game."

"The rules of the game..."

Leo, who was almost unable to withstand the crushing gravity, could only hear the mocking words of the "King of Despair":

"To me, humans are far too insignificant. Even without doing any other work, I could easily destroy 'Helsaremz Roth' using only brute force."

"Perhaps it was too simple and therefore lacked challenge. That great being made me abide by the rules of the game it set, allowing me to complete the mission only by using the conditions for the 'Great Collapse,' thus giving you humans a brief respite."

"hateful......"

Unable to refute, Leo, after becoming a member of the Blood World's Familiar, faced this "King of Despair" and realized just how vast the gap was between the Thirteen Kings of the Otherworld and humans. Just as the "Fallen King" Fimto had said, he possessed dozens of ways to plunge humanity into the apocalypse, but he would not do such a thing simply because he would be even more bored if all of humanity died.

The same situation applies here. The "King of Despair" possesses absolute power that no one can resist. In the end, he only gave Leo a chance because of the game rules; otherwise, it would have been a complete failure from the very beginning.

"So now, how can you make someone look desperate?"

With a terrifying smile on his face, the "King of Despair" clenched his right fist as he pondered. The giant sphere enveloping Leo shrank once more, probably indicating that the people inside had been completely crushed into mincemeat and were waiting to be resurrected.

“I still have many ways to play with you slowly, let me savor your despair.”

With his right fist released, the "King of Despair" caused the giant sphere to collapse into ruins once again. However, Leo's figure was nowhere to be seen. Perhaps he had really been crushed into a pile of minced meat and was waiting to be resurrected?

But after a long while, "King of Despair" felt something was wrong... Based on the recovery power Leo had just demonstrated, his high-level Blood Realm Familiar should have been resurrected long ago, but he couldn't see the kid at all.

Sensing something was amiss, the "King of Despair" waved his hand and summoned a vast expanse of pale flames, which then spread outwards, burning away all the floating ruins and rubble. However, at that moment... a hand landed on his shoulder.

"Finally... I caught you!"

"What!?"

Completely unaware of when Leo approached, "King of Despair" tried to react but it was too late. A powerful chop to the neck struck him, and the body's owner, William, lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.

"It...it was a success...?"

Looking at the little black creature he held in his arms after knocking it unconscious, Leo was somewhat incredulous. Wasn't it a bit too easy to defeat the "King of Despair" so easily?

"Leonardo Watch... what have you done?!"

Indeed, there was no good outcome after saying that flag. Leo regretted it and quickly covered his mouth, but unfortunately, "King of Despair" had already awakened again.

The enormous soul that separated from William Macbeth floated above the "Eternal Void," staring intently at Leo with non-existent eyes. This was the true form of the "King of Despair."

Without its own body, the "King of Despair" is merely a soul entity. It can freely possess the bodies of others for its own use, but this has both advantages and disadvantages... If a body is ambushed and knocked unconscious by Leo as before, the "King of Despair" will be unable to continue interfering with external affairs.

Although Leo couldn't do anything to William while he was inside William's body, this Thirteen Kings of Another World was not just a useless person who could only move and fight by possessing other people's bodies. When it revealed its true form... that was the moment when the "King of Despair" fully displayed its power.

"Leonardo Watch... I'm asking you, what did you just do?!"

"It feels like things are getting worse..."

Holding the unconscious Blackie, Leo showed no joy whatsoever. Looking at the enormous creature above him, he felt increasingly uneasy and fearful.

"I'm asking you a question, answer me!!"

A vast expanse of pale fire fell from the sky. This was the power that the "King of Despair" could only unleash when he revealed his true form, and it was also due to his anger towards Leo. This terrifying flame was completely unavoidable... It would be fine if he were to bear it alone, but he was holding Little Black in his arms right now.

With a gritted teeth, Leo's "Divine Eye" turned bright red, and he unleashed the power he had just used once more.

Within the field of vision that Leo's "Divine Eye" could capture, a blood-red light flashed and instantly turned the spacetime of this generation gray and stood still.

As if a photograph had been taken, all time completely stopped within the area that Leo's "Divine Eye" could observe.

This is a law that only powerful demon gods can possess—the absolute ability to stop time. After Leo transformed into a Blood World Familiar, his abilities combined with the "Eye of God," awakening a truly extraordinary power.

From the moment he transformed into a Blood World Familiar, Leo realized that everything in his field of vision was gradually slowing down, and it wasn't until after several such instances that he realized this was his ability to pause time within his field of vision.

But immense power comes with an excessive burden. Leo's "God's Eye" is like an overloaded machine constantly sparking. He can't maintain this state for long. Therefore... he needs to find a way to end this quickly.

Chapter 80 Hello, world! (Part 9)

In the gray-white world, everything was completely frozen, like a still painting. The pale sea of ​​fire that was about to fall on his head solidified and stopped its attack. The huge soul of the "King of Despair" was also imprisoned by time, unable to know what was happening, and unable to do anything to deal with it.

Sensing the sparks erupting from the "Eye of God," which seemed on the verge of shattering, Leo dared not delay any longer. He immediately spread his blood wings, picked up the unconscious Blackie, and flew away into the distance. He needed to get William to a safe place.

In an instant, Leo, bursting forth with blood-red wings, rushed to the distance. The "Eye of God" effect of stopping time in the area came to an end, and the area covered by the pale sea of ​​fire was empty. "King of Despair" suddenly saw the shadow of blood-red wings in the distance and knew that Leo had escaped its attack range.

"Spatial transfer...no, that's not right...even the 'Vampire King' couldn't have transferred without any disturbances, could it be...?"

"Is it time?! You've actually awakened the ability to manipulate time, Leonard Watch... You're quite a force to be reckoned with."

The "King of Despair," with its extraordinary knowledge and experience, immediately saw through Leo's abilities. However, it put aside its contempt, for the ability to manipulate time was, in any case, beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The soul of the "King of Despair" burned and shifted like flames before disappearing into the sky. The interest of this otherworldly thirteen kings in Leo was growing ever stronger.

Leo glanced back briefly and didn't see "King of Despair" chasing after him, but he didn't dare to be careless at all. He could only carry Little Black and accelerate again to ensure the safety of the person in his arms.

Having traversed most of Helsaremz Lot, Leo saw Zapp and Jet still fighting amidst a large horde of ghouls. Without hesitation, Leo swooped down, his crimson wings transforming into sharp spears, instantly wiping out all the ghouls on the map.

"A Blood Realm Kin?!...No, it's that messy-haired kid!!"

Zapp was shocked and bewildered. He was not happy at all that the Blood Realm's familiar had rescued him. His mood plummeted even more when he saw that the newcomer was Leo. Even for someone like Zapp... the situation he feared had still happened.

"There's no time to explain, Mr. Zapp! Please look after him for me."

"Hey! What happened to you...? Isn't this kid the 'King of Despair'?"

"The 'King of Despair' had taken over his body, but it has now broken free... and now it's targeting me."

After handing the unconscious Blackie to Zapp, Leo flapped his Bloodwing and soared into the sky. He knew that the "King of Despair" was now targeting him, and it was best to deal with him alone.

"Tsk...this kid!"

Despite his outward displeasure, Zapp carefully tucked the man Leo had entrusted to him under his left arm, then held the Blood Blade in his right hand, preparing to break out with his junior brother Jet.

Leo soared into the sky. He had already figured out what to do, so he immediately changed direction without stopping and charged into the center of the "Eternal Void" in a trail of blood-red wings that cut through the night.

The void that connects humanity with another world is said to be a place from which one can never return if one falls in by mistake. According to Leo's observation with the "God's Eye," thousands of Blood World Families seem to have established their nests there, making it a dangerous place where death is certain for ordinary people.

Leo, no longer human and now a member of the Blood Realm, considered that the "King of Despair" was too powerful and that continuing the fight in Helsaremz Lot might harm more innocent people. Therefore, he decided to move the exhibition to the "Eternal Void" and perhaps take advantage of the terrain to launch a counterattack.

Leo, who had rushed here, plunged headlong into the unfathomable "Eternal Void." His activated "Divine Eye" detected the location of the Blood Realm's lair, and Leo charged straight in that direction.

For a while afterward, Leo encountered no obstacles. He even began to wonder if the "King of Despair" had given up on him when suddenly a space stained crimson appeared before him. In this vast and boundless "Eternal Void," there was a massive, mountain-like rock base with many palace buildings on it, suggesting that someone lived there... The only race Leo knew that had nested here was the Blood Realm's Familiars.

"Did you run to the center of the 'Eternal Void' to seek help from other Blood Realm kin?"

Suddenly, Leo heard a voice and turned around to see a huge, azure soul floating around. It was the true form of the "King of Despair".

"I was curious to see what you were planning to do, but it seems you're being a bit too naive."

"As far as I know, the Blood Realm Families are not like humans, who swarm and fight desperately when they encounter a powerful enemy."

The "King of Despair," who slowly revealed the truth to Leo, explained that it was because of the overwhelming pressure of this otherworldly thirteen kings that the Blood Realm's familiars who had settled here collectively abandoned their nest and fled, as the events of not long ago were still fresh in their minds.

Because at that time, a reckless member of the Blood Realm in another world went to massacre a city, which attracted the terrifying "Extreme Evil King". The Blood Realm members, who did not know the seriousness of the problem at the time, thought that they could fight side by side because there were many of them, but in the end they were almost slaughtered.

I saw a fellow countryman I didn't recognize running towards me. I didn't think it was a big deal at first, but it turns out that it's another big shot at the level of the Thirteen Kings of another world. If I don't run, I'll just be waiting to die!

The Blood Realm's Kin are not human. These races, possessing eternal and immortal lives, cherish their own lives even more. Humans, when faced with dire circumstances, will unleash unparalleled courage to fight back, but most of the Blood Realm's Kin only consider how to preserve their own lives.

The more desperate humans are, the more reckless they become; the longer their families live, the more they can survive... This is probably a typical assessment: short-lived races cherish the present, while undead races cherish their lives.

Even after arriving in the "Eternal Void," facing the "King of Despair" brought by Leo, thousands of Blood Realm followers did not hesitate to flee their nest. They did not want to face the Thirteen Kings of Another World and die in vain.

This is a very typical and very smart approach and choice. However, Leo had anticipated this situation. He did not think that the Blood Realm Familiars would risk their lives for someone he did not know, but it was enough that they had come here.

"King of Despair, have you ever felt despair?"

"what?"

Leo's sudden question struck "King of Despair" as odd. "Have you ever experienced despair, you ask him? You might as well ask if a fish can drown."

"Leonardo Watch, are you stupid to ask such a question?"

"No, I just wanted you to experience 'despair' too."

In response to the "King of Despair," Leo immediately sent a signal to someone who had been preparing for a long time. The resonance from their bloodline sent the message to the other person.

A spatial portal opened behind Leo, and the blonde girl leaped out, landing on her servant's shoulder. Shinobu Oshino activated her powers:

"By my absolute command, the Vampire King, tear it apart!"

The call to action spread, and in an instant, the Blood Realm's followers, who were still fleeing, completely stopped moving. They all transformed into red meteors and charged back towards the "King of Despair," for their "King" had given the order.

As mentioned earlier, high-ranking Blood Realm Familiars possess unique abilities. Leo's awakened ability is to stop time within his field of vision using the "Divine Eye," and Shinobu, as one of the 13 founding elders, naturally possesses her own abilities as well.

Known as the "Vampire Queen," she commands all Blood Realm Families whose rank is lower than that of this founding thirteen elders. Shinobu Oshino is the "Queen" of all Blood Realm Families.

Chapter 81 Hello, world! (Part 10)

Thousands of Blood Realm followers, under the absolute command of their "King," swarmed forward, transforming into crimson birds and rushing toward the "King of Despair," a resolute act of utter defiance of life and death.

"The Vampire King... do you intend to fight me...?"

"I haven't forgotten what you did, betraying our information to the 'Extremely Evil King.' Now pay your debt!"

"........."

Due to some oversights in the original plan, Despair King thought that the "Vampire King" would be completely dealt with by the "Extreme Evil King." Who could have imagined that she would eventually turn into a blonde little girl named Shinobu Oshino? Thinking that the "Vampire King," whose abilities were sealed, was not a threat, Despair King was happily carrying out his plan. He never expected that he would be bitten back by this blonde little girl.

After all, who would have thought that the "Vampire Queen," who had lost the ability to summon her Blood Realm Families, would still possess such power...? The swarming of thousands of Blood Realm Families could potentially bring about the end of the world for humanity.

The Despair King is not the excessively powerful and monstrous "Extreme Evil King," who slaughtered tens of thousands of Blood Realm Familiars amidst laughter and joy, and faced a desperate siege by thousands of Blood Realm Familiars... Even the "Despair King" could not handle it head-on.

To retreat or to fight?

Considering Leonard Watch's value and the fact that the "Vampire King" had almost no direct combat ability, Despair King made a decision immediately.

The pale sea of ​​fire erupting from the soul of the "King of Despair" completely filled the space, forming an impenetrable wall of flames around it.

The crimson birds that charged toward the "King of Despair" fearlessly crashed into the impenetrable, pale wall of fire. Some of the lower-ranking Blood Realm followers were reduced to ashes upon contact with the flames, their souls burned away, while the higher-ranking Blood Realm followers, their bodies still wreathed in burning, eroding soul flames, charged straight toward the "King of Despair."

Although the "King of Despair," whose true form is a void structure of soul, is completely immune to physical attacks, the crimson flames attached to the Blood Realm's followers can injure its spirit body. Hundreds of high-ranking Blood Realm followers pierced through the pale wall of fire, risking their lives to inflict wounds on the "King of Despair."

The size of the soul shrank dramatically, clearly showing the extent of the injuries suffered by the "King of Despair." It would be strange if he hadn't been injured after being attacked with his life on the line by hundreds of high-level Blood Realm servants, but the "King of Despair" had achieved his goal.

After a brief moment of charging up, a transparent sphere resembling an eyeball appeared at the center of the Despair King's soul, followed by a fleeting burst of laser flames.

The pale flames are compressed and released, possessing the power to destroy the entire "Helsaremz Lot" in one strike. If it weren't for the constraints of the game rules, the Despair King could easily destroy an entire city with this move.

The path swept by the pale laser beam erupted with a raging inferno. Low-level Blood Realm followers were instantly reduced to ashes and killed. High-level Blood Realm followers struggled and wailed in the flames, but were eventually burned to ashes. This was beyond their capacity to recover.

One powerful attack wiped out a third of the Blood Realm Familiars present. Even the "King of Despair" was still charging up for another powerful attack without getting out of breath. But it would be strange if Leo didn't interrupt the BOSS when he saw him charging up for a powerful attack.

"The Eye of God" is activated at overload, and the power of the Blood World's familiars turns his eyes blood red. Within Leo's field of vision, time stops flowing.

It was a pause that could only last for a maximum of ten seconds, but it was enough for Leo, since it wasn't him who was making the move, but Shinobu Oshino who was standing on his shoulder.

The "Vampire Queen" is an expert in spatial magic and is a master at the pinnacle in this other world. Although she is currently just a blonde girl and cannot fully exert her power, it is enough for Shinobu.

In the short ten seconds that Leo paused time for "King of Despair", Shinobu Oshino, with her right hand outstretched in the air, also released the teleportation barrier at full capacity. She is very vengeful!

A large teleportation barrier opened beneath the "King of Despair," and what one could see through the portal was an endless, deep darkness. An incredibly powerful suction force emanated from it, and even Leo, who was far away, felt his body being pulled by the powerful attraction. He could only grab Shinobu off his shoulder and hold her in his arms to prevent the blonde girl from being pulled over by the suction force.

"Kick that bastard 'King of Despair' down there, he'll never be able to climb out again!"
