He carried Rachel and fled desperately. Just as one of the Cruewolves was about to pounce, revealing its fangs, a silver light sliced through its neck. Its head was severed, and the wolf disintegrated into powder.

"Young ones, lucky we arrived in time," two figures stood in front of them, their presence causing the Cruewolfs to halt. The taller one exuded rugged confidence, while the other wore glasses and had shoulder-length hair. Both were armed with giant swords.

Rachel was astonished. "Aren't you the ones who guarded the king during the parade?"

"I am indeed the grandchild of the legendary Huntector Lion Leo, who stands at the pinnacle of Homeland's strength, Lion Mock! And this is my vice-commander, George." His confident introduction cut off Rachel's question.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGFQpr48QO
Lion Leo, known as the "Strongest Huntector in Homeland," the "Grandecy Legend," and the "Savior Hero," among many other titles, none of which were enough to describe his achievements and power.

He had protected the "Paradise" village numerous times, single-handedly repelling a hundred Skullbreakers, equivalent to two squads led by Kingside's regular village defense force. He also assisted in structuring the Huntector assessment, preventing inexperienced citizens from dying in vain. Additionally, he served as the chief instructor at the Academy of Huntector, training many outstanding juniors, and was poised to become the youngest Headmaster. He had also defeated Huntectors from various cities in Homeland's competition, setting an unbreakable winning streak.

And all this before he was even thirty. These accomplishments were enough to make him a historical figure and a role model for the next generation.

The then-King Boris, Anwar's grandfather, bestowed him with the surname representing authority, "Lion," to acknowledge his unparalleled achievements and simultaneously warn his descendants not to let this hero be disgraced. "Lion" represented a species that existed before history, now extinct. It was said to be the king of all beasts, possessing powerful fangs and claws, exuding immense dignity. A swipe of its paw could carve deep grooves in the ground, and its roar was deafening.

Beneath Lion were the "The Eight Dragonservant," eight types of dragons: Castle Dragon, Scream Dragon, Sky Dragon, Bang Dragon, Warlike Dragon, Toxic Dragon, Incinerate Dragon, and Hellfire Dragon. With the assistance of "The Eight Dragonservant," Lion managed all animals. However, this was all in the historical records only, lion and the dragons no longer existed now.

Using "Lion" as his surname was enough to represent Leo's status, second only to the royal family. But this hero, over fifty years ago, suddenly vanished from the human world, and even with a search involving the entire manpower of four cities, no results were found. Although the physical form of this legendary figure had come to an end, his spirit and story still lived in everyone's hearts.

Before them stood Lion Mock, inheriting the legendary bloodline, and he was proud of this identity. "Indeed, as reported, they've turned to powder. It's been over two months now. Young ones, can you still move?"

Mock looked at these illusory creatures and asked, and Edan nodded with admiration in his eyes. "Leave it to us adults here."
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nJUjWfkQB
After saying that, Mock and George stepped forward. They knew these were artificially created lifeless beings, and they attacked ruthlessly, quickly defeating all of them. Edan watched with fascination. In front of Shoyo and the others, Edan was an experienced senior, but in front of a true Huntector, he was like an infant learning to walk.

Rachel was also greatly impressed by the two in front of her. "Do both of you know Talent?"
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOnvMtX6b4
"Of course, Talent is a basic requirement to become a vice-commander of Kingside," Mock replied as he left. Suddenly, a Gainake burst from the ground and attacked George, who was behind him. George raised his sword to block, but Gainake's mouth could easily swallow a human whole, and its rows of sharp teeth pushed him back several meters.

Gainake usually used a hit-and-run strategy, immediately retreating underground whether successful or not. But this time, it stood defiantly in front of George.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59c2xeVOPX
"Are you okay?" Rachel was quite worried because she had learned from textbooks that Gainake was one of the dangerous exotic beasts. Watching George using even Weapower against it added to her fear.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbd45QpZAF
George was touched by the concern of his junior. "Seems like I've been underestimated..." He swiftly moved forward, dodging Gainake's attack and striking back. Gainake's body fell apart. Although the Weapowerized giant sword was now sharper, Gainake's scales and outer shell were tough, and his strike was barely effective.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ebvIBCAPI
"Hahaha... It's done, not even Talent was needed."
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUZIIec6nu
The headless body stood tall on the ground, and George looked back at Edan and the others with pride. Mock was also quite satisfied; after all, Gainake wasn't an easy opponent.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFewaPRkpH
Edan was disappointed not to witness Talent. As they were preparing to leave, Mock examined the severed snake head and suddenly looked tense.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3n0ijrVO0W
"Hold on, there's no black mark on its forehead, oh no... George, get out of there! It's a Lurscorpion!" Before he finished speaking, the ground where George stood collapsed. A pair of huge pincers attacked him. Thankfully, Mock's warning came in time, and he immediately leaped aside and blocked with his sword.
