Chapter 990: Leone Reappears

Hyoudou Issei felt that he should be in a dream right now, and a nightmare at that, otherwise such a bizarre situation would not be appearing before him.

Some time ago, he had just experienced what could be called a supernatural event. He had once been confessed to by a beautiful girl named Amano Yuuma, and afterwards, during their first date, he was killed by her using a bizarre attack.

But afterwards, he discovered that he had not died, and furthermore, not a single person around him knew of the existence of a person named Amano Yuuma. He still remembers to this day that the other party had spread a pair of black wings before him, as if she were a Fallen Angel from myths and legends.

Because people including his best friend said they had never heard of this person named Amano Yuuma, Hyoudou Issei assumed it was just his own delusion. After all, as an adolescent boy, it is not impossible for some unrealistic fantasies to appear in one's mind sometimes, right? After all, how could something outside of specifications like a Fallen Angel exist in this world?

After experiencing that delusion, he discovered that his body seemed to have undergone some changes; for instance, there seemed to be a very terrifying power lurking within his body, seemingly having the possibility of erupting at any time. At night, his vision would become sharper than an ordinary person's, and even his five senses became acute. Moreover, this situation was constantly strengthening.

But now, Hyoudou Issei suddenly doubted that what he had encountered before was just his own delusion. Because right now, he was kneeling on the ground, and a Spear with a strange shape, condensed from light, was piercing through his body. A large amount of fresh blood was gushing out from his wound, and the severe blood loss and pain made him feel that the world before him was becoming blurred.

Behind him was a strange man, and most importantly, behind that man, a pair of black wings were spread out.

"To think you didn't die, you're unexpectedly sturdy!" The man extended a hand, and another Spear of light appeared in his hand. "Then let's add a little more Light Power; this time it should truly be the end!"

"Am I going to die?" Hyoudou Issei could feel the power within his body constantly slipping away.

"Swish—" The man suddenly threw the Spear of light in his hand, wanting to completely end Hyoudou Issei's life.

"Boom—"

A figure suddenly appeared on the scene and easily smashed the flying Spear of light to pieces with a single punch.

"Who?" Hyoudou Issei raised his head with some difficulty, only to discover that a blonde-haired, busty mature woman had appeared before him before he knew it.

What shocked Hyoudou Issei the most was that two furry animal ears were actually protruding from this mature woman's hair. If Lingyun were here, he would inevitably be surprised to discover that this person before him was actually Leone from the Akame world, though it was unknown for what reason Leone had run to this world.

"Th-this is, a catgirl?" Perhaps because he was dying, Hyoudou Issei's thoughts also became somewhat chaotic.

Looking at the person who had suddenly appeared before him, Teransike could not help but frown: "A wielder of a Sacred Gear?"

"What wielder of a Sacred Gear, I've heard that title more than once now. I'm no wielder of a Sacred Gear; perhaps calling me a Teigu User would be more appropriate!" The woman clenched her fist and said.

"Teigu User? What a strange title. But, are you trying to stop me? This guy behind you is a Devil!" Teransike said.

"I don't care about Devils or whatever; after all, I don't sense much of a dark aura from this person. On the contrary, you have an aura on you that makes me feel very disgusted!" Leone said in a carefree manner.

"In other words, you want to be my enemy, to be an enemy of the Fallen Angels?" A Spear of light appeared in Teransike's hand once again.

"Enemy or whatever, I haven't thought that much about it. But you, I'm going to have to give a good thrashing first!" Leone lowered her body slightly, and then her figure instantly turned into an afterimage and rushed out.

"So fast!" Teransike's pupils could not help but shrink; he discovered that Leone's figure had instantly crossed the distance between the two and appeared before him.

"Boom!" Leone slammed a heavy punch into Teransike's abdomen, directly sending him flying dozens of meters away.

"Seems like, you're a bit weak!" Looking at Teransike, who had collapsed onto the ground, Leone's tone carried a trace of disappointment.

"Don't look down on people!" Teransike stood up, a Spear of light suddenly appeared in his hand, and he threw it toward Leone's direction.

Leone's body tilted slightly, and the Spear of light grazed past her, leaving a wound on her arm. But that wound only existed for the duration of a few breaths before it completely disappeared.

"Possessing a powerful Healing Ability? It looks like this is a Sacred Gear that can significantly enhance physical fitness!" Teransike looked at this scene, a trace of contemplation flashing through his eyes.

"Well, what this Teigu has turned into now, even I don't know myself!" Leone shrugged and said.

After she devoured Lionelle with the help of Lingyun's power, her body underwent peculiar changes. In a sense, she could now also call herself a Humanoid Teigu. However, there seemed to be a difference between her and a Humanoid Teigu; Humanoid Teigu have an upper limit to their existence, while she seemed to be constantly breaking that limit.

"To tell the truth, I don't even know what kind of existence I am now!" Leone's arm transformed into a lion's claw, and she swiped it heavily onto Teransike's body.

Teransike could not help but let out a muffled groan, and several hideous wounds instantly appeared on his body.

"This guy's strength... better retreat for now!" Teransike looked at the Leone before him, a flash of ferocity in his eyes, and then he spread his wings and flew into the sky, quickly disappearing into the horizon.

"Tch, ran away?" Watching Teransike fly away, Leone clicked her tongue in annoyance.

She wasn't unable to catch up to that bird-man, but Hyoudou Issei's situation was quite dire right now; if she didn't provide emergency aid, he probably wouldn't live to see tomorrow's sun.

"Ugh, I'm really not very good at the medical side of things!" Looking at Hyoudou Issei, who was lying on the ground and had already lost consciousness, a rare trace of distress appeared on Leone's face.

After all, whenever she was injured in the past, she would just power through it using her own powerful Healing Ability; now that she had to provide first aid to someone else, she was truly at a loss for a moment.

"Whatever, let's stop the bleeding first!" Leone crouched down and tore open Hyoudou Issei's clothes.

Just at this moment, a crimson Magic Array suddenly appeared on the scene, and Rias Gremory's figure appeared before the two.
