The Guardian: Legend of Leo

Ch.19 Start the Journey

The morning had arrived, the sunlight slowly illuminated and warmed the air around the Hall of Elders.

Leo opened his eyes and chose to continue his training last night. He slowly lowered Ariel and laid the girl down before returning to his martial arts training.

As before, Leo's movements felt resolute every step of the way. There were no gaps left to be attacked by the enemy. The punch of his hand was firm and hard, the kick was straight and sharp, anyone who saw it would be amazed by the young man.

In the middle of his training Leo sees Taurus entering with Scorpio to the Hall of Heaven. Just as Taurus and Scorpio were intending to train harder for them to reach the same level as the young man before him at the moment.

"Sincerely to Senior."

Leo bowed his body respecting the two men.

Taurus and Scorpio pay their respects. Actually they are quite amazed by Leo, in addition to being an expert in fighting with weapons, it turns out that he is also an expert in fighting with his bare hands.

Leo resumed his training, while Taurus and Scorpio chose to watch him train while observing the young man's strength.

Leo picked up the sword that was in the Hall of Heaven and swung it quickly. The movement of his hands was so fast that both Taurus and Scorpio had trouble following him, the movement of his position was so sharp and firm, and occasionally he looked like a person dancing resolutely and sharply.

Taurus and Scorpio could only be amazed to see the young man before him. According to them, even if Leo fought against an enemy of the same level as him, it would not be difficult for him to remain superior in the fight, because each movement is so deadly and has a considerable attack power.

"Excellent, how do you do that, son?"

After Leo finished demonstrating his movements Taurus could not help but ask. He could see that every movement of Leo was indeed created to surpass his enemies.

"I just did it as my teacher taught me. He was indeed very talented in battle, even once he had served as a war general in the kingdom of Euthorea."

Taurus was a little surprised to hear Leo's statement, he did not expect the old man who helped them at that time was a former war general in the Euthorea Kingdom.

Taurus and Scorpio continue to listen closely to the young man's sentence, hoping to gain enlightenment for their practice.

After explaining long enough Leo intends to continue his training.

This time he tried to practice using his aura.

"Aura Guardians!"

A green-colored aura quickly enveloped the young man's body. He tried to attack the target statue that was in the Hall of Heaven at high speed.

Leo disappeared at high speed and quickly attacked the existing target statue and split the statues rapidly into two pieces.

Taurus and Scorpio who saw that held their breath. They knew how far the difference in strength was between them now.

Leo sheathed his sword and kept it back. A disappointed expression appeared to the young man. He knew for sure his strength was still not enough to be able to protect what he had now, before if only his enemy was not weaker than him then he would definitely have trouble confronting them.

Leo sighed before closing in on Taurus and Scorpio. The two men could not stop being surprised at the strength of the young man before him.

For them, the power is enormous. Even large enough to keep a city from various dangers.

But for Leo, that power is far from enough to protect what he has now.

"Senior, after some thought it seemed like I was going to go wandering around this continent. While wandering I wanted to gather knowledge and continue practicing so that I could improve."

Leo looked at the sky with a smile that adorned his face.

"I don't want to lose anything else, I've lost enough Rose, I don't want to add to the loss of anything else"

Taurus could see the young man earnestly with his words, but he was at a loss for what kind of response.

"So you're leaving?"

A girl's voice suddenly sounded in her third ear. Scorpio is aware of whose voice he hears.

"Ah, sorry we woke you up."

Leo smiled warmly at the girl, while Taurus and Scorpio only realized that the girl had been there long before them.

"No, answer my question first. Are you going?"

Ariel's eyes look sparkling, making Leo not to the heart to answer the girl.

"I'm..."

The girl shed her tears.

"Are you going?"

Leo sighed before approaching the girl and stroking the top of her head.

"I'm sorry, but I have to. I can't keep going like this..."

Ariel hugged the young man tightly.

"Take me..."

The girl slid her face into Leo's body.

"Take me, I promise not to trouble you..."

Leo wanted to say something, but no words were spoken from his mouth.

Taurus and Scorpio who saw this frowned. They did not know what kind of relationship was going on between them until the girl acted like that.

"Leo, maybe you should discuss this with Aries if you want to take him."

Taurus' words make Leo raise his eyebrows. He wanted to deny it but the girl continued to hug her body tightly and made her confused as to what to answer.

"Sister won't be a problem, just take me with you, please..."

Leo is increasingly confused about what decision he should take, if he does not agree to the girl's request it is clear the girl will not let go of his embrace.

"Alright, we'll talk about this with your brother. But let go of me first, okay?"

Leo asked gently for the girl to let go of her embrace, the astonished look of Scorpio and Taurus was quite torturous inwardly.

The girl let go of her embrace before wiping away the tears left on her eyelids.

Both Taurus and Scorpio are increasingly looking suspiciously at Leo, both not knowing what is going on between Leo and Ariel when they are not around.

All they know after returning from battle the girl always approaches Leo every time.

Leo sighed heavily at the thought of the misunderstanding that occurred before going to meet Aries to talk about Ariel.

Aries is sitting together with Virgo in the Holy Garden when Leo and the others come along with his sister, Ariel.

Aries sees something strange with the look on the face of Taurus and Scorpio, and stares at their astonishment.

"Senior Aries, I have something to talk about..."

Leo explains his plan to embark on a journey and travel around the continent seeking experience and practicing self-reinforcing.

Aries listened carefully to Leo's explanation before finally sighing lightly, he had expected this to happen before.

"Leo, I'm not going to forbid Ariel from coming with you, after all, she'll be safer with you."

Aries smiled gently at his sister.

"Please take good care of Ariel, I'll gladly hand her over to you."

Aries smiles and speech make Taurus and Scorpio choke on their breath. They didn't expect Aries to say such a thing.

They know for sure the nature of Aries is very protective of his sister.

Leo sighed again while thinking when this misunderstanding would end.
