My Love Debts Are Everywhere!

"What incredible power..."

Even from a great distance, she could feel the holy power emanating from Leon.

However, Liliana quickly snapped out of her reverie and raised the Magic Staff of Eternal Disaster higher in her right hand.

She must not forget her duty here—to assist Leon in eliminating all the phenomena caused by the explosion of his power!

"Expansion!" Liliana whispered in a cold, indifferent tone.

*Whoosh!*

Suddenly, the magic dome barrier surrounding Leon, which had been showing signs of disintegration, emitted an unusually bright red light and expanded rapidly to encompass a radius of one kilometer.

Then, the magic dome barrier ascended into the sky, each side marked with black lines, swiftly enveloping the light emitted by Leon's holy power, akin to a hand capturing a firefly's bright glow.

Watching this, Liliana smiled faintly and continued to channel her magic power to sustain the spell she had cast.

However, her smile quickly froze as the magic dome barrier that concealed the light from Leon's holy power suddenly trembled, revealing slight cracks on all sides.

*Crack... Crack...*

Initially appearing small, the crack rapidly propagated across the entire structure of the magic dome barrier at an unbelievably fast pace.

As Liliana witnessed this unexpected scene, her eyelids narrowed slightly, and her blood-red eyes fluttered in astonishment.

'What a terrifying power...' Liliana muttered to herself, her alertness heightened.

She hadn't anticipated that the magic she had cast would prove so fragile against Leon's holy power.

It's crucial to understand that the magic Liliana had cast was immensely potent barrier magic.

She had enhanced it with additional high-level magic, such as 'Limitless Healing', designed to both heal those within and mend any damage to the magic dome barrier itself.

Furthermore, she had employed other high-level magic such as 'All Illusions are One', aimed at suppressing Leon's holy power, and the sealing magic 'The Sky-Swallowing Seal of Darkness', which absorbed and sealed away an overwhelming surge of Leon's holy power.

However, it appeared that all her magic proved utterly ineffective against Leon's holy power, leaving her slightly annoyed and somewhat irritated.

'No... How could I, the great Demon Emperor, be defeated?' Liliana whispered, her tone filled with disbelief, as if she couldn't comprehend this reality.

Magic constituted one of her most formidable aspects, and witnessing her spells crumble against Leon's holy power left her struggling to accept the outcome.

Quickly, Liliana drew in a deep breath, and in an instant, an unusually potent red aura erupted from her body, piercing straight through the sky with its intensity.

The abrupt emergence of Liliana's crimson aura caused even Leon's holy power to falter slightly, as if encountering an eternal adversary.

Unfazed, Liliana grinned and aimed the tip of Eternal Disaster's magic staff towards the nearly shattered magic barrier.

"Come on, let's start again!" she exclaimed with determination.

...

Meanwhile, at the border between the desert and the fertile land, Luna and Valen remained deep in meditation.

The intense holy power radiating from their bodies pierced the sky with blinding brilliance, turning the entire night into a day.

Behind them, the Celestial Frost Holy Bow and the Soaring Dragon Holy Spear flashed brightly, seemingly rejoicing in the surge of power they were experiencing.

An hour later, the holy power they emitted weakened and eventually vanished as the two holy weapons returned to their bodies.

"Huft~" Luna exhaled, slowly opening her beautiful eyes.

Staring at the barren desert before her and the fertile land behind her, Luna quickly regained her senses and rose to her feet, clenching her fists.

"I feel like my strength has increased two or threefold," Luna muttered, her voice low as she assessed the tremendous surge of holy power within her.

Moreover, the increase in her power wasn't solely due to the surge in holy energy; her physical strength had also grown, and her mastery of the Celestial Frost Bow had deepened thanks to absorbing the legacy of past heroes.

In short, her current abilities were two to three times greater than before, an incredibly terrifying transformation that she could hardly have imagined possible!

"With this much power, even if the Demon Emperor appears before me, I have nothing to fear," Luna whispered to herself, a faintly charming yet cold smile on her lips.

Her confidence had soared with her newfound power, and she eagerly anticipated tomorrow's battle.

As she drifted into her thoughts, Valen's booming laughter suddenly erupted beside her, snapping her out of her reverie.

"Hahahaha! Unbelievable! Absolutely unbelievable!" Valen laughed aloud, his expression filled with amazement, as he sensed his holy power surge threefold.

Furthermore, the issue he had been grappling with regarding the bottleneck of absorbing the inheritance from past heroes, which had plagued him before, was now completely resolved!

With his current strength, he was utterly confident that he could finally triumph over Leon, who had always been his greatest nightmare!

"Incredible!" Valen exclaimed with excitement as he slowly stood up, his gaze fixed on the two moons in the sky, and continued with praise, "The Transcendent Night truly lives up to its reputation!"

Without the blessing of this extraordinary night, Valen was certain that it would have taken a considerable amount of time to resolve the bottleneck that had plagued him.

Just as he was reveling in his newfound power, he suddenly felt a chilling gaze upon him, causing him to instinctively turn his head to the side.

"Ha? Luna? When did you wake up?" Valen raised his eyebrows, his expression tinged with confusion.

"I've just emerged from meditation, much like you," Luna replied, her tone remaining indifferent and cold.

"Oh," Valen responded, equally indifferent, nodding slightly before continuing, "By the way, how's your power increase coming along?"

Upon hearing his question, Luna maintained her usual nonchalant expression and casually replied, "I feel that my powers, such as holy power, physical strength, and the absorption of inheritance from past heroes, have tripled from before."

Then, with a slight lift of her gaze towards him, Luna inquired, "And you?"

"I'm no different. My power has tripled across the board," Valen replied, a smirk playing on his lips as he continued. "With this strength, I could easily defeat Leon with just one punch," he boasted, his big palm clenched tightly.

Luna's eyebrow arched slightly in response to his extreme arrogance.

"Easily defeat Leon? Has your memory of how he viciously bested you in the past evaporated along with your growing foolishness?" Luna's tone was frigid, her gaze piercing him like she was staring at a fool.

Upon hearing Luna's blunt rebuke, the smirk on Valen's lips froze instantly, his expression turning slightly rigid.

He yearned to argue, but the memory of his humiliating defeat in the fighting arena against Leon flooded back, leaving him speechless with the words of rebuttal stuck in his throat.

However, his arrogance fueled his reluctance to concede, and he retorted with a sloppy grin on his rejuvenated lips, "Those defeats belong to the past. With my current strength, isn't it certain that Leon can't best me?"

Luna rolled her eyes, too weary to engage in an argument with this muscle-brain man.

With a dismissive wave of her hand, she replied, "Suit yourself; I'm done wasting my breath."

With that, Luna turned on her heel and strode back towards Arthamonth town, leaving Valen standing alone in dumbfounded silence.

"Damn it! Can't she accept that I'm stronger than Leon right now?" Valen grumbled irritably as he trailed after Luna.

However, after they had walked a few steps, they both suddenly halted, their expressions shifting simultaneously.

*Badumb!*

Their hearts raced, causing a slight stiffness to their faces as they instantly locked eyes with astonishment flickering in their pupils.

"Did you feel that?" Luna inquired, her expression serious.

"Yes, I did," Valen replied, his tone cautious as he narrowed his eyes.

Upon hearing Valen's confirmation, Luna nodded slightly, her expression tinged with discomfort.

Just moments ago, both she and Valen had experienced a sense of premonition simultaneously, yet they couldn't discover its meaning.

Just as the two were pondering the ominous premonition that had gripped them, suddenly their two holy weapons, the Celestial Frost Holy Bow and the Soaring Dragon Holy Spear, emerged from their bodies.

The weapons emitted bright rays of red and blue, swiftly enveloping them, as if warning them of impending danger.

Observing the unprecedented behavior of their holy weapons, Valen and Luna were naturally perplexed.

However, as they recalled the unsettling sensation they had just experienced, they simultaneously exchanged a knowing glance.

"Could it be..."

...

"Arghhh!"

Inside the magic dome barrier, Leon writhed in agony, his once-handsome face now drained of color, blood trickling from the corners of his mouth and the tips of his eyelids.

The star mark on his forehead, once aglow with golden brilliance, now flickered like a fading light bulb, while his radiant eyes gradually dimmed.

"What's happening? Why?" Leon gritted his teeth, his handsome face and complexion turning pale as though drained of blood.

Moments ago, he had been harnessing his holy power, striving to leverage the transcendent night to its fullest potential.

Yet, unexpectedly, a sudden, excruciating pain gripped his heart, causing him to lose control of his holy power in an instant and inflicting intense agony upon him.

"It hurts... It hurts so much..." Leon collapsed to one knee on the grassy ground, clutching his chest with an expression of agony.

This pain rendered him utterly powerless, as if his soul were being torn asunder and his heart pierced by a myriad of swords simultaneously.

"Help me... Liliana..." Leon mumbled helplessly as pain slowly engulfed his head, causing him to collapse into unconsciousness on the spot.

*Boom!*

His unconscious body unleashed a violent explosion of holy power, shattering Liliana's magic dome barrier into countless pieces and sending a massive shockwave rippling out for 100 kilometers.

Stunned by the sudden eruption of Leon's power, Liliana stood frozen in disbelief.

Yet, before she could gather her thoughts, a powerful shockwave slammed into her, catching her off guard and hurling her a hundred meters away.

"Pufft!" Liliana coughed slightly and snapped to attention, her expression one of disbelief as she gazed at the explosion of Leon's holy power, which surged into the sky like a giant dragon, wreaking havoc and destruction.

As she witnessed the spectacle, Liliana's complexion turned pale with disbelief before she finally cried out hysterically, "Leon!"

...

"Gahaha! At last! At last!"

Within the Holy Hall of the Three Heroes, Guren erupted into laughter, his handsome face pale and drenched in flowing blood, as he beheld the brilliantly shining white sword clasped firmly in his left hand.

"At long last, I have you in my grasp, Holy Sword of Zenith..."
