My Charity System made me too OP-Chapter 206 : Blood King Tournament IV

As Leon vanished into the darkness, the tension in the air thickened. The battlefield was eerily silent, with only the distant echoes of battles raging between other participants. Millim glanced at the four Tier III Black Knights standing like lifeless sentinels, their dark armor absorbing the faint glow of the Blood Moon above.

"Alright," she muttered, tightening her grip on her blade. "We need to move. Staying in one place makes us an easy target."

Roman smirked. "I doubt anyone will rush at us blindly, but you're right. Let's find a good position and defend ourselves until Leon disables the space seal."

Ken cracked his knuckles. "We should also start hunting. If this is a kill-or-be-killed situation, we can't just sit around and wait for enemies to come to us."

Roselia, leaning against a tree with her arms crossed, added, "Agreed. But we shouldn't split up too much. We don't know what kind of monsters are lurking on this island."

Naval and Liliana exchanged a glance before nodding. "Let's move cautiously," Liliana said. "We stay together, eliminate threats, and wait for Leon's signal."

With that, the group moved swiftly through the dense forest of Blood King Island, the sound of distant clashes growing louder as the battle for survival truly began.

Meanwhile, Leon dashed through the trees, his senses locked onto the presence of the one responsible for the space-sealing spell. He could feel the distortions in the air, the unnatural stillness of space itself resisting his Rift Gate ability.

"Whoever did this… they're nearby," he murmured, his eyes gleaming with determination.

Suddenly, a cold voice echoed from the shadows.

"You're quite sharp. Most wouldn't notice the seal's source so quickly."

Leon halted, his gaze shifting toward the source of the voice. A figure emerged—a vampire clad in regal crimson robes, his aura exuding sheer dominance. His piercing golden eyes locked onto Leon, amusement flickering within them.

"I am Velkar, the Warden of the Seal," the vampire introduced himself, a smirk playing on his lips. "And if you seek to break my magic, you'll have to defeat me first."

Leon looked at him, rolling his shoulders. "Is that even allowed?"

"Everything is allowed in this tournament as long as one Prince or Princess remains alive. You can kill the seal holder, acquire the seal, and use it to your own advantage and such.

Though… where is your leader?" Velkar asked, his golden eyes narrowing.

Leon chuckled, cracking his knuckles. "My leader? You're looking at him."

Velkar arched an eyebrow, intrigued. "Oh? So you're the one leading that little group? Interesting."

Leon didn't bother responding. Instead, he raised his hand, gathering mana as a faint, electric-blue aura flickered around him. "Enough talking. You're in my way, so let's get this over with."

Velkar's smirk widened, his fangs glinting under the dim light. "Confident, aren't you? But you should know… sealing space is merely a fraction of my abilities."

With a casual flick of his wrist, the air around Leon suddenly became heavy, as if gravity itself had increased tenfold. Leon's feet sank slightly into the ground, his body momentarily slowed.

"Spatial compression?" Leon muttered, his eyes narrowing.

"Impressive," Velkar said, stepping forward. "Most wouldn't recognize it so quickly. I control the space itself. Every movement you make… bends to my will."

Leon smirked. "Oh? Then let's see how well you handle this."

Without hesitation, he clenched his fist, activating Mana Surge. A burst of energy exploded from his body, shattering the oppressive force surrounding him. In a blink, he vanished from sight.

Velkar's eyes widened in surprise as Leon reappeared behind him, a blade of pure energy forming in his hand. Without missing a beat, he slashed downward.

CLANG!

Velkar blocked the strike with a curved black dagger, sparks flying upon impact. "Tsk. You're faster than I expected."

Leon didn't let up. He launched a flurry of attacks, each one faster than the last. Velkar dodged and parried, but Leon's relentless assault forced him backward.

Then, Leon smirked. "You're focusing too much on my attacks."

Velkar's eyes widened in realization, but it was too late.

Behind him, a tear in space had already formed—Leon's Rift Snare. It activated instantly, pulling Velkar in and distorting his balance.

Taking advantage of the opening, Leon charged mana into his fist and drove it straight into Velkar's chest. The impact sent the vampire crashing into a tree, the trunk shattering from the force.

Velkar groaned, blood trickling from his mouth. His golden eyes burned with newfound respect—and something else.

Excitement.

"…This might actually be fun." Velkar wiped the blood from his lips and stood up, his aura flaring violently. The ground beneath him cracked as the sheer pressure of his power intensified.

Leon grinned. "You didn't thought only you can control space right?."

Leon still held the title of Child of Aether, granting him control over both space and time concepts. His mastery wasn't just manipulation—it was domination. While most space and time users controlled their powers like a puppeteer guiding a puppet, for Leon, it was as if the puppet moved entirely according to his will.

Velkar, despite being a powerful space mage, was still limited to Tier III—just like Leon. However, in a direct confrontation, Leon had the advantage. His control over space and time was on an entirely different level, far surpassing ordinary manipulators.

Velkar narrowed his eyes, sensing the vast difference between them. "You… You're not just a simple space manipulator, are you?"

Leon smirked, rolling his shoulders. "You're quick to notice. But knowing that won't help you win."

Velkar's expression hardened as he spread his arms, causing the space around them to distort. The trees warped, the ground trembled, and the air itself became heavy with his influence.

"Spatial Lockdown."

A surge of power erupted as invisible chains of space coiled around the battlefield, sealing off any possible escape routes. Velkar smirked, confident in his domain. "Let's see you try to manipulate space when I've locked it down completely."

Leon, however, remained unfazed. He let out a small chuckle, shaking his head. "You're treating space like a cage—locking it, restricting it. That's where you fail." He lifted his hand, and in an instant, the chains shattered like glass.
