Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Oliver as a Holy Relic?
Cursing people without exposing them, hitting people without slapping them in the face—although Leo's behavior did not mention them at all, for people like them who enjoyed torturing and killing children for fun, they felt like they were being scolded.
Because of this, they naturally disliked Leo very much.
At the same time, while they hated Leo, there were also people who admired him greatly.
Joe Root: "I never thought such noble people existed in this era. If possible, I would love to fight alongside you. If you summon me, I will definitely offer my loyalty!"
Fight with me? Forget it, I don't want to end up like Director Allister Cook. Joe Root is a good man, but that tear mole is just too troublesome.
King of Knights: "Integrity, kindness, and your admirable qualities—you can definitely become a true knight. If you summon me, I believe we will be a great match."
Although the King of Knights had never met Leo before, this incident made her feel much better about him. It was always preferable to work with someone of high moral character rather than someone who would stab you in the back.
John Milton: "Hahaha, interesting! A truly interesting man! So, how about it? Are you interested in joining my army? When I conquer the world, I will share my victory with you!"
John Milton also extended an invitation, clearly showing his willingness to be summoned by Leo.
Seeing his message, Leo rolled his eyes. Why does this guy always want to pull talented people into his camp? Do you think you're Whitebeard?
Andrian remained silent, simply watching the conversation in the live broadcast room. He murmured to himself, "Maybe... this is the true partner of justice."
But right now, Leo didn't have the time to respond to them one by one. His full attention was on Zampa. At that moment, the swarm was drawing closer and closer to her. Watching them approach, Leo immediately stood up.
At this time, a voice echoed in the live broadcast room.
"It has been detected that member Leo's actions meet the criteria for a live broadcast. Do you wish to start streaming? (Choosing to live stream will grant you a certain reward.)"
Live standard? A stream? And rewards? How could I possibly miss out on this?
Without hesitation, Leo nodded and said, "I choose to broadcast live!"
Brush!
As Leo's voice fell, everyone in the live broadcast room suddenly saw Zampa's current predicament.
Two incredibly cute little girls stood together, holding hands. In front of them, the massive black swarm threatened to engulf everything.
Ryan: "Two adorable little girls. They must be really fun to play with."
George: "Yo ho ho, indeed! But it's a shame they're not little boys—that would be even more fun."
Weber: "Disgusting! You two are truly the same breed of scum!"
Warne: "Alex! Oliver! Run! Don't fall into the hands of that old man!"
At this critical moment, Leo appeared in front of the two little girls, shielding them with his own body.
It was only then that everyone saw Leo's face clearly. He was a handsome and sunny young man. Without hesitation, he grasped Oliver's small hand and declared, "System, use the Heroic Spirit Summoning Card (Permanent)!"
"Understood, host!"
As soon as the system responded, a golden card suddenly appeared in Leo's hand. In the next second, the advent card emitted a dazzling golden light!
At the same time, beside Leo, a red summoning circle appeared beneath Oliver's feet! Everyone watching understood immediately—this was the magic circle for summoning Heroic Spirits!
King of Knights: "A summoning? I wonder which Heroic Spirit will answer the call this time."
Joe Root: "I hope it's me! I will use the spear in my hand to claim the Holy Grail for my master!"
Richard: "Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"
Weber: "Can you speak human words, please?"
Director Allister Cook: "Uh... am I the only one who feels that Oliver's position in the magic circle is a bit like that of a holy relic?"
Irisviel: "Don't be ridiculous. How could a person be a holy relic? And she's just a little girl."
John Milton: "Hahaha, that's a good joke, Kenneth! If little girls could be used as holy relics to summon Heroic Spirits, wouldn't that make us spirits way too cheap?"
Director Allister Cook: "Haha, true. If everyone could be a holy relic, then I could just grab some disobedient students and use them instead. @Weber."
Weber: "Hmph!"
Weber ignored Director Cook and turned away.
Everyone assumed that Leo's actions were just a coincidence. After all, in all these years, no one had ever summoned a Heroic Spirit this way.
However, just because something hadn't happened before didn't mean it was impossible.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a Heroic Spirit descended.
