Leonard Churchill retraced his original path.

As he had predicted, the battle here had already come to an end.

The members of the Fierce Beast Legion ultimately fell, counted in their entirety among the dead.

The dozen or so bodies had been impaled on a wooden stake, lined up like spoils of war.

The scene was rather bloody; most were missing an arm or a head, their guts spilled out onto the ground.

These corpses, it seemed, had been recognised by the Red Baron for their strength, and so were left hanging there.

Left as food.

Or perhaps as food for later.

Their equipment and their Storage Rings were lying beside their bodies.

Like the few relics from before, the Earthbound Chain, Guillotine of King Louis, and the Flashing Heart-piercing Sword.

It’s not that the demons are not interested in the equipment, but probably because of the patch applied by the spatial will.

It made them turn a blind eye to some equipment that did not fit the era.

Like mechanical equipment and cards.

But high-quality magical equipment like ancient relics, they could see.

Leonard had learned from Mage Rolan’s manuscripts that demon lords have a habit of collecting the spoils of valiant heroes.

It seemed that these items were prepared to be taken away as such spoils. Seeing this, Leonard’s gaze turned icy.

The vexation of struggling so hard to bait the creature for so long, only for the boss to take the spoils away, with himself getting nothing in the end, was rather displeasing.

Suddenly, he noticed a few relics and thought of something: “Eh… is the Demon Leech Ring still on the Red Baron’s back?”

He did not see that relic ring among the pile of weapons beneath the bodies.

Leonard switched his gaze in another direction, and indeed, there was a metallic gleam on the Red Baron’s back.

The Demon Leech Ring was a devious and hidden relic indeed.

The demon without enlightenment very likely did not know what it was.

The fox commander earlier had exactly this in mind. The demon’s thick muscles had created a blind spot on its back where the arm can’t reach.

Unable to touch it, the Demon Leech Ring could attach there indefinitely.

At this moment, the Red Baron looked to be in a rather poor state.

Though victorious.

But its body bore quite a few real wounds.

There were holes where thin swords had pierced, burns left by the element of spell casting, and lacerations from daggers.

The over ten members of the Fierce Beast Legion had died, but the damage they inflicted was not minor.

Knowing that this demon is fast, they primarily aimed for its legs.

You could see the flesh on the demon’s knees was mangled.

In Leonard’s eyes, this was a “greatly crippled boss”.

To him, seeing those wounds immediately made him think of other possibilities, muttering in his heart, “I can break its defense now…”

Clearly, after all this time, the Demon Leech Ring had silently reduced the Red Baron’s defenses to a very low level.

The moment this thought arose, other thoughts started to stir within him.

Like tigers and lions trapped in circus cages.

Occasionally, they needed to be let out for some fresh air to prevent them from becoming manic and hurting people.

The Fierce Beast Legion suffered near annihilation, but they had already amassed a rich harvest.

If they continued to play it safe, they would undoubtedly survive the level.

But the more they sought for safety, the more restless their thoughts became, like a tightly shut cage holding back aggressive beasts.

In an instant, these thoughts dispelled their desire for security.

A grin suddenly curved up from the corner of Leonard’s mouth, as if he was persuading himself, saying to himself, “If it touches me, I die… so let’s bet it won’t touch me.”

An idea came to him, and the thrilling excitement swelled and swept over him. Clearly, he had persuaded himself.

Being entirely unable to win was one thing.

But if he could win, not accepting the challenge would indeed be boring.

If there was even a glimmer of a chance.

Then there was a chance!

Leonard grinned with an enigmatic smile.

The moment he chose to stand on the knife’s edge,

something inside him,

was like a cage being slightly open,

The beasts were in a race to break free.

His hollowed spirit started to tremble with excitement.

This moment, the battle had already ended, and the crowding demons had already dispersed.

Like a proud lion king, the Red Baron sat alone on the raised stone, regaining the strength expended in the fierce battle.

Superior demons and lower-level demons are truly different species.

An injured lion isn’t something wild dogs can approach to lick their wounds.

The Red Baron’s pride would not allow lower demons to see its weakened state.

No demons were within several miles.

The Red Baron just sat there.

It naturally noticed that its unusual weakness was due to some human secret skills.

But before it could figure out the cause.

Unbeknownst to it, in the darkness, the intent to kill had already silently crept close.

Leonard had already carefully watched the battle between the two sides.

This Red Baron had physical attributes far exceeding the second tier, but it also had weaknesses.

Its awareness was very weak.

The fact that the assassin was able to infiltrate and sneak attack multiple times served as good proof of this.

With an invincible tyrant body, being sneak attacked was not a problem at all.

But now that its defenses were lessened by the Demon Leech Ring, Leonard thought it was the best opportunity.

The hellfire on the Red Baron extinguished, but the burning flames on the trees around hadn’t extinguished.

The flickering firelight casted a lengthy shadow of its giant figure.

Just then, a figure bathed in dark elements had already stealthily approached behind it.

Even seated, the Red Baron was nearly three meters tall.

The advantage of having a large body is that it could conceal many fatal weaknesses.

The muscles on the back of the Red Baron were very thick. Even with a scalpel being fully embedded it wouldn’t result in any fatal wounds.

It was probably just like embedding a piece of shark fin.

Leonard knew an immediate kill was utterly impossible..
