My Love Debts Are Everywhere!

"Valen, you idiot! What the hell are you doing!? Don't you dare attack the barrier!"At the sound of the voice, Valen was stunned and quickly withdrew the holy power he had been about to unleash.

"Leon?" Valen frowned.

"Yes, it's me, you idiot." The voice echoed again in his mind, then continued coldly, "Don't touch it, and don't even think about destroying it. The consequences will be severe."

Valen's irritation flared at the words, especially the insult of being called an "idiot," which cut deeply.

"Humph! I don't care about the consequences. Even if you try to stop me, I won't back down," Valen replied coldly and with determination.

Although he and Leon appeared to be at peace, it was only on the surface. In reality, he despised Leon and longed to defeat him.

However, after discovering that Velix had been deceiving him all along, he decided to temporarily ally with Leon to take down Velix.

Of course, this alliance was only temporary. Once the task was complete, he would settle things with Leon, defeat him, and claim the title of the strongest hero of this era!

He severed the telepathy immediately, and holy power erupted from his body.

With the Holy Spear of Soaring Dragon glowing brightly, he thrust it forward and shouted, "Hero Technique: Dimensional Piercing!"

...

*Boom!*

The sound of a massive explosion striking the magic barrier of Arstralyn Capital echoed from outside.

The explosions didn't stop after the first, repeating as though the attacker had no intention of halting.

Yet, the magic barrier remained as solid as ever, a clear sign of its immense power.

"That shrimp-brain guy is really very stubborn."

Sitting atop the dragon Athena's head, Leon rubbed his temples and sighed in frustration.

He had already warned Valen not to touch or attack the magic barrier, but the fool had completely ignored him.

If only his position weren't locked within the capital, and he could get out—he would teach Valen a harsh lesson for acting like this.

"Did the Spear Hero ignore your warning?" Athena asked, her tone indifferent.

Leon gave a small nod, irritation evident in his voice. "Yes, he ignored me. I really wanted to beat him up, but now there's nothing I can do. I can only hope the barrier holds and doesn't break."

Athena was silent for a moment before finally asking, "Can't you ask the Bow Hero for help?"

"That would be pointless," Leon replied casually, his gaze drifting toward the sky. "Valen is careless and stubborn. If he doesn't listen to my warning, Luna's words won't make a difference either. Besides, Luna is just as stubborn as Valen. If I involve her, they'll clash, and that could jeopardize the army outside."

"I see..." Athena muttered, nodding in understanding, and said no more.

The two fell into a heavy silence, lost in their own thoughts.

Unbeknownst to them, more than fifteen minutes had passed as Leon took the opportunity to rest his mind, closing his eyes.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, quickly rising to his feet. His sharp gaze locked onto the palace ahead, and holy power slowly began to gather around him.

"Athena, did you feel that just now?" Leon asked, his voice cautious.

"Yes, I felt it, Leon," Athena replied, her tone serious.

Just now, she sensed a faint energy fluctuation from the direction of the palace. Though subtle, the wave of energy radiated a sense of danger that couldn't be ignored.

"I believe that's Velix's final trump card against us. We need to be prepared. Transform into your human form to make the fight more manageable," Leon said lightly.

He immediately leaped from his position, floating into the air with the Holy Sword of Zenith in his right hand.

*Buzz!* Continue your journey on My Virtual Library Empire

Suddenly, a bright red light emanated from the dragon Athena's body. Moments later, the light faded, revealing her stunning and alluring human form.

Athena flew up, hovering beside Leon with a cold, indifferent expression.

"Now, we just wait for Velix to deactivate those magic circles and see what his last move will be," Leon remarked casually, holding out his right palm.

Feeling the warmth of his hand, Athena was momentarily surprised but said nothing, offering only a faint smile.

...

"How long until your comrades arrive?"

In front of the throne, Velix raised the Seven Crystal Magic Staff, his gaze indifferent as he looked at the black-cloaked man standing at the base of the stairs. There was a subtle hint of fatigue in his eyes.

"Don't worry, they should be here any minute now. Just keep the barrier magic active to prevent the red dragon outside the palace from getting in," the black-cloaked man said calmly, continuing to channel mana into the Soul Devouring Crystal Orb.

Although the magical barrier outside could withstand the red dragon, he couldn't afford to let his guard down.

He had to ensure the rebel army remained in chaos, preventing them from entering the capital.

Otherwise, things would only get worse.

After all, the rebel army numbered in the hundreds of thousands, and it would be impossible to handle such a massive force.

Velix frowned slightly at his words. It had been over fifteen minutes since he activated the magic circles, and the mana in his body had dwindled to only ten percent.

He had about ten more minutes to maintain the magical barrier outside. If the black-cloaked man's comrades didn't arrive within that time, he would surely be defeated, and his power would fall into the hands of the rebels outside.

"Damn... I can only hope this black-cloaked man isn't just lying to me," Velix muttered bitterly.

As a Holy Emperor, revered by all, he had always been the one with the power to control and decide a situation.

Moreover, his high status had always allowed him to rely on himself rather than on others.

But now, everything had changed. Not only was he caught in an unexpected predicament, but he also had to depend on others for his survival.

To him, this was an unforgivable humiliation. Yet, he knew that the man he was now was not the same as the one he once was.

Thus, he had to endure these humiliations. Once he regained his absolute power, he would exact a thousandfold revenge!

*Whoosh!*

Suddenly, a gust of wind swept through the air in front of Velix and the black-cloaked man.

At the same time, a hoarse voice echoed through the throne room, "You really are troublesome, Fourth Apostle. You used an emergency stone to call for help. Aren't you afraid of losing your qualifications to become the Holy Messenger?"
