Upon hearing his words, the Fifth Apostle was consumed by rage. However, that anger was quickly overshadowed by fear—fear of Leon's mysterious power and unknown identity.
He instinctively stepped back and shouted in a trembling voice, "Don't even think about killing me! Otherwise, you'll face the vengeance of the Temple of Twilight!"
Unfortunately, his threat had no effect on Leon. After all, Leon had once nearly killed the Second Apostle himself in the Desert of Chaos—so what was the Fifth Apostle in comparison?
Yet even now, the Temple of Twilight had never retaliated. Instead, they vanished into hiding and were never seen again.
Realizing his threat was useless, the Fifth Apostle's panic deepened.
He saw the killing intent burning in Leon's eyes and knew he was likely going to die.
But at that moment, he suddenly remembered his subordinate, Rigot.
"Wait a minute..." His eyes lit up with hope. "If I use Rigot as bait, I can definitely escape!"
