Shortly after, the Cruel Angels resumed their monotonous sunbeam attacks, which were evaded by Leon without surprise.
However, the Cruel Angels also evaded their own sunbeam attacks as they came down onto them right after.
Leon and the Cruel Angels entered a sort of stalemate where the Cruel Angels continued to attack him with sunbeams, but neither side was struck by the sunbeams.
Even so, the Cruel Angels stubbornly continued to drop sunbeam attacks on Leon.
"This is becoming a waste of time. Since you won't come at me with any other move, I will resume what I was doing," Leon coolly stated.
Shortly after, Leon used his Divine Will and control over dark energy to pull the black clouds together again.
The hole in the sky slowly closed, causing the amount of sunlight and Wrathful Demon Energy entering the dark continent to reduce over time.
As that happened, the Cruel Angels became even more enraged with Leon.
Skreeeee!!
The Cruel Angels flapped their wings and shot toward Leon with bloodthirsty gazes. They wanted nothing more than to tear him apart.
However, their flight abilities were rather clumsy.
The ten Cruel Angels bumped and crashed into each other as they soared higher and higher into the sky. Their limbs flailed over each other as if they were competing in a race to reach Leon first.
Despite the ten Half-step Celestial-level Cruel Angels rushing toward him, Leon did not feel any pressure, strangely.
Leon would have been very concerned if it was any other Half-step Celestial opponents.
However, his present opponents were mentally-ill monsters that just happen to be at the Half-step Celestial level.
As long as he kept his calm, he was in control of the battle.
Swoosh!
Leon kicked at the empty air and retreated with a burst of speed, creating distance from the Cruel Angels.
However, it was only temporary before their gap started closing again. The Cruel Angels may be clumsy, but they were still Half-step Celestials. They couldn't be underestimated.
Leon repeatedly kicked at the empty air for bursts of speed as he continued to keep his distance from the ten Cruel Angels.
At the same time, he withdrew his dispensable Tier-3 Bone Spears, infused elemental powers into them, then fired them at the Cruel Angels' eyes with incredible precision and speed.
Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!
The infused Tier-3 Bone Spears directly penetrated every single pair of eyes without fail, sinking deeply into the Cruel Angels' giant eyeballs.
However, due to the sheer size of the Cruel Angels, the Tier-3 Bone Spears simply felt like pricks in the Cruel Angels' eyes, causing them discomfort but not enough to inflict pain or substantial damage.
"Explode!" Leon clenched his hand into a fist.
In the next moment, the Tier-3 Bone Spears embedded in each other Cruel Angels' eyes exploded one by one.
Five different types of power clashed against each other and raged within the Cruel Angels' eyes, destroying everything in their wake.
Skreee!
The Cruel Angels' pursuit was forcefully halted by the tremendous pain transmitted to their minds, causing them to shake their heads furiously as if doing so would end their misery quicker.
Even though Leon couldn't see any visible changes on the surface of the Cruel Angels' eyes, he didn't doubt that the insides of their eyeballs had been hollowed out by the destructiveness of his attack.
As the Cruel Angels were preoccupied with the pain, Leon wielded the Tier-7 White Spear and shot forward, taking the initiative to close the distance between them.
Due to the sheer difference in size, Leon was no different from how humans viewed mosquitoes.
Leon landed on the back of one Cruel Angel and unleashed a flurry of attacks on their elongated arm-wings to cut them off and disable the Cruel Angel's ability to fly.
Although Leon's Tier-7 White Spear passed through everything without resistance, his attacks were no different from small attacks.
At the same time, he quickly noticed the Cruel Angel rapidly recovering from its wounds.
"This level of attacks won't work, huh? Then how about this!" Leon decisively took out one of his trump cards, the Quasi Tier-7 Fire Lamp, and lit the Cruel Angel's back on fire with the White Luminosity Eternal Flame!
Then, Leon quickly ignored the searing pain of holding the hot Quasi Tier-7 Fire Lamp as he deactivated it and threw it back into the Worldspace.
He kicked off the back of the Cruel Angel's back and flew away shortly after, creating distance between him and the Cruel Angels again.
Skreee!
The Cruel Angel screamed piercingly in pain as it wailed about, trying to put out the White Luminosity Eternal Flame on its back.
However, no matter what the Cruel Angel did, it could not put out the extinguishable white fire. It only spread the white fire to its additional two hands instead.
Right at that moment, the other nine Cruel Angels recovered the sense of sight in their eyes before they gazed at the white-flaming Cruel Angel.
"As expected, the Half-step Celestial-level Cruel Angels can even regenerate organs like their eyes, huh?" Leon muttered with a frown after making the discovery.
Nevertheless, he was quickly startled by the following scene.
The nine Cruel Angels decisively tore at the white-flaming Cruel Angel's body, salvaging everything they could for themselves.
Skreee!
The white-flaming Cruel Angel cried as legs, lower body, upper body, shoulders, neck, and finally, its head were all dismantled apart by the other nine Cruel Angel.
They were truly cruel, alright.
The Cruel Angels did not hesitate to kill one of their own after determining that they could not save the white-flaming Cruel Angel.
The salvaged parts were quickly assimilated into their bodies, while the burning remains were left to drop out of the sky.
Cindertail and Goldenstride watched on the ground level as the white-burning chunk of flesh plunged from great heights before disappearing into the abyss.
They were greatly astonished by the White Luminosity Eternal Flame.
"W-what kind of fire was that? It didn't seem inferior to our bloodline ability, the True Samadhi Golden Flames!" Goldenstride uttered with shock.
