Saber God (former)

Bahal

Cha Jeong-woo (former) (deceased)

**Leonte** was a high-ranker of Cheonghwado. He was dubbed the Fist God and was one of the clan's five leaders. Previously, he was a high-ranker and executive of Arthia, however, he defected to Cheonghwado when he realized that Arthia was bound to be destroyed, eventually. He was one of the five people that directly killed Cha Jeong-woo.

## Physical Appearance

Leonte physically appeared as a tall, well built young man with light brown skin and silver hair with orange eyes.

After being killed and becoming a spirit, he was shown to have the same transparent body common to a ghost.

## Personality

Like most people in the Tower, he is a conniving snake that places his own well-being at the highest level and wouldn't blink an eye over betraying his allies if it could result in his survival.

During his days in Arthia, Leonte was shown to have initially been one of Jeong-woo's closest friends and enjoyed their time together. As seen where he enjoyed drinking together with him.

Leonte was stated to have been a man that greatly enjoyed indulging in excess of luxury and lust, greatly enjoying the company of beautiful women and was stated to be weak to them. Rendering him an easy pawn for the likes of Viera Dune.

## Background

He began climbing the Tower with Jeong-woo Cha and became one of his closest companions. Throughout his time with Arthia, he grew until he became a prestigious high-ranker. However, after realizing that Arthia had no future, he defected to Cheonghwado at Sword God's offer.

Afterwards, he was very diligent in attacking his former friend Jeong-woo, maybe in an effort to prove his loyalty to Cheonghwado. He was one of the five people that killed Jeong-woo when he stabbed him in the heart with a sword tipped with Divine Iron.

## History

### **Volume 2**

He appeared in Section F of the Tutorial after he lost contact with Bild and the rest of Arangdan. There, he saw the remains of the destroyed headquarters of Arangdan. Restless and anxious, he rushed to the underground room where the Philosopher's Stone was kept only to find it missing. Enraged, he ordered his subordinates to look for the stone and find through any means necessary.

### **Volume 3**

While he was returning from the Tutorial, he was ambushed by Bahal and his subordinates, Flame Beast. Due to his assailants' superb firepower and him being caught unaware, he suffered heavy injuries while all his subordinates died. He somehow managed to escape. This event led to the destruction of the fragile peace in the Tower and the start of a full-on war between Cheonghwado and Red Dragon.

### **Volume 4**

Leonte was cured of his life-threatening injuries after he was allowed to ingest the core of Mythical Dragon, Jeong-woo's pet who had been missing since his death. Turns out, Cheonghwado had caught it long ago and killed it to obtain its core filled with pure mana. Spear God mocked Leonte for having been defeated so easily and stated how it was a waste to use the Mystical Dragon's core on Leonte.

### **Volume 6**

Leonte was attacked by Saber God when the latter's son, Hanbin, was kidnapped by Red Dragon. Red Dragon wanted the stone in Leonte's possession in exchange for Saber God's son. Initially, Saber God managed to overpower Leonte who was slightly weaker than the rest of the leaders of Cheonghwado, however, Sword God intervened since he established the policy that all five leaders of Cheonghwado were equal. Saber God laughed at him and claimed that Sword God was just spinning tall tales. In reality, he wanted the stone for himself.

As Leonte, Spear God and Bow God watched, Sword God managed to easily defeat Saber God who had grown even stronger after absorbing the cores of the Four Legendary Beasts. Saber God, himself, was in disbelief at the disparity between them when he realized that while he had found a lover and had a son, Sword God had been continuously training. While he had lost his mana to treat his son, he had gained more mana through training. While he had lost his battle instincts, Sword God had further sharpened his battle instincts. Finally, he was stabbed in the heart by Sword God's four **Godkiller** swords and began to leak the energy of the Four Legendary Beasts that he had forcefully used.

As a last ditch effort, Saber God used the remaining energy of the Four Legendary Beasts to open a portal to the coordinates of Red Dragon provided to him previously. Before Sword God could stop him, he managed to fully open the portal and saw Summer Queen in her giant draconic form cross over through the portal. Saber God died with a smile on his face after having foiled Sword God's plan and having saved his son's life. As Summer Queen emerged, the Dragon Fear she exuded instantly paralyzed all Cheonghwado members below Semi-Ranker level. She then let loose her Dragon Breath which annihilated half of Cheonghwado's headquarters, incinerating everyone in its path, even Rankers.

Enraged, Sword God, Spear God and Bow God attacked her giant body. Meanwhile, Bahal, along with Flame Beast, rushed towards Leonte to obtain the stone which was desperately needed by Summer Queen to fix her broken Dragon Heart, an injury she received while fighting Jeong-woo Cha. However, Leonte didn't have the stone. In fact, he was truly frustrated since everyone seemed to assume that he had the stone despite him telling them that it was stolen. Frustration gave birth to rage and Leonte decided to kill Bahal in his anger. He unleashed energy of Mystical Dragon that he obtained from ingesting its core. He used that energy to summon Gungnir, the weapon of Odin that Sword God had granted him for protection. Wielding Gungnir, he angrily raged throughout the battlefield, killing many members of Flame Beast and even slicing off Bahal's right arm. Just as he was about to launch another attack to finish them off, he was stabbed through the heart by Yeon-woo Cha who had been stalking Leonte and Bahal for an opportunity to kill them. Even though Yeon-woo had planned to kill Leonte slowly and painfully, he changed his plan and stealthily struck him, while he was distracted, after he witnessed the power of Gungnir.

Bahal was shocked by the sudden turn of events and confused at the feeling of danger he felt from Yeon-woo. This feeling became real when he was suddenly attacked by Yeon-woo. While he was unable to determine why his subordinate was attacking him, he decided to let go of his curiosity and kill Yeon-woo since in his current state even a regular Ranker could kill him. However, his **Flame Rain** proved to be useless as Yeon-woo had inherited the Phoenix's **Holy Fire**, the origin of all fire. As he desperately continued resisting, he lost his left arm and, soon, both his legs, as well. In a last hurrah, he used his signature move **Volcana** but Yeon-woo managed to evade it and stabbed his dagger right in Bahal's forehead, killing him. Yeon-woo then used Bathory's Vampiric Dagger on the corpses of Leonte and Bahal before informing Edora and Phante to retreat.

later after hatching his Magical Dragon, Yeon proceeded to call upon Leonte and Bahal's souls, where Leonte was then shocked upon seeing Yeon's face and confused him for Jeong, causing him to fall into a panic and confusion due to being one of the one's who landed the killing blow on him. Later Yeon proceeded to painfully torture and interrogate Leonte on all the information regarding the Emerald Table and the Philosopher's Stone before then having his familiar Boo eat his soul to increase Boo's power.

## Abilities

As a former High Ranked Member of Arthia and later a member of the "Five Martial Gods" and being given the position as the "Fist God", Leonte was undoubtedly a powerful Ranker.

However as seen during his battle against Bahal and him barely escaping and the statements of the Spear God, Saber God and even the Sword God, Leonte overall power was only equivalent to that of a High Low Ranker and he himself barely qualified to be a Martial God due to his inferior strength when compared to the other four. In fact during his first battle against Bahal, he was only barely able to fend him off and escape and during his fight against the Saber God and his second battle against Bahal he was only able to barely keep up with them and would have likely been killed if not for his items that helped bridge the gap of power.

### Skills

* **Weather Manipulation:** Leonte was noted to have a skill that allowed him to manipulate the weather and create large storms within a large area of effect. With this skill having been noted to be his most powerful and exceptional weapon in his armory that earned him his nickname as the "Storm Bringer".
* **Debuff:** During his final fight against Bahal, Leonte was able to cast several debuff's against him and weaken the latter's power considerably. Leonte himself showcased immense stealth when using this skill and was able to subtly create several debuff circles around Bahal without the latter noticing.

### Items

* **Gungir:** Due to his status as the weakest of the Martial Gods, Leonte was personally given and loaned the God Level Weapon, Gungir by the weapon's true owner, Sword God, to help him bridge the gap in power. This weapon gave Leonte a significant amount of power and allowed him to gain power equivalent of a Upper High Ranker. With Leonte having used it to keep up and eventually begin to overpower Bahal during their second and last battle against each other and critically injure him when he also used the energy of the Mythical Dragon to reinforce himself.
* **Neiden of Cha Jeong-woo's Mythical Dragon:** After Jeong-woo set his familiar free, Cheonghwado managed to hunt it down, kill it and extract its "essence (Neiden)" for Leonte personal use. As seen where upon him absorbing and assimilating the Neiden, Leonte's power skyrocketed and he gained enough power to easily bridge the gap between himself and Bahal who had the equivalent power of a Mid- High Ranker and combined with Gungir, he was able to completely overpower and critically injure him.
