Finished
Leander’s voice rang out across the lake again. He stood tall, hands behind his back, his body calm, his gaze steady.
In front of him, the seven Pre–Transcendent warriors stood in formation. They didn’t speak. They didn’t move, but their power stretched across the lake like a second wind, heavy and sharp. The air began to swirl as their energy gathered, and the surface of the water turned hazy with rising mist.
“He’s going to take on all seven of them by himself? ”
Jordan stared through the glass, forgetting everything else. He didn’t even glance at Henry, who was still slumped on the floor.
His full focus stayed on the lake.
The seven warriors were legends in their own right. Each one could shake a province if they chose to. Each one stood above Grayson, who had once been called unbeatable, yet Leander was on par with them.
The top fighter of Astria. The numero uno of Astria Power Index. One on one? He could take them on easily.
Leander wasn’t just facing a few of them. He was going up against all seven.
The scene looked unreal. Even Gareth, the former number one in the martial world, might not have survived this lineup.
Yvette and Madeline had never imagined the night would unfold like this. First, the Barrets showed up to intimidate. Then, an even deadlier force followed–seven top–tier fighters, all gunning for Leander.
They stared out at the water. Seven figures stood across the lake like towers of pressure. Each one radiated power so thick it pressed against their chests.
Even with all the faith they had in Leander, both women felt a knot forming in their stomachs. These weren’t just strong fighters. They were monsters. Every one of them stood at the same level Grayson had reached when he fought Leander on Glidewing Mountain.
Now Leander had to face all of them. Alone.
Grace rushed to Jordan’s side, her eyes locked on the lake. She couldn’t take her gaze off Leander. She needed to know what would happen.

“Jeff, you really think you can take on all seven of us?” Wayne asked.
His voice had dropped low, carrying an edge.
Leander turned his head slightly and spoke without emotion. “Why not p>
Evelyn, the Flame Witch, narrowed her eyes. “Just because they call you the Iron Sovereign doesn’t mean you’re invincible,” she said.
“Fauster and I couldn’t beat you last time. Fine. But this time we brought backup. Seven Arbitrators. All of us together. How much of a shot do you think you have p>
The others didn’t say a word, but their anger spoke for them. Before joining the Arbitration Office, each of them had ruled their own corner of the world.
They were used to being feared. And now Leander stood there, calm, daring them to come at him. It felt so much like humiliation that they could barely hold back.
Leander lifted his right hand and closed it into a fist. A light mist of blue energy swirled around his knuckles. The water beneath him rippled outward in even waves, as if the lake answered to his command.
“I don’t care what the odds are,” Leander said. “I don’t talk my way through fights. I win them p>
“Are you sure you’re making an enemy out of us? Out of the Arbitration Office? ”
Wayne watched him closely.
The Chief Arbitrator had made it clear–they wanted Leander on their side. But if he said no again, they had to kill him. That wasn’t up for debate.
“Is talking all the Arbitration Office knows how to do?” Leander asked, his voice edged with boredom. “If you’re not gonna move, then I will p>
He stepped forward. The water under his foot erupted like it had been hit by a cannon. A blast of white foam tore across the surface and shot straight at Wayne.
No one expected it.
Wayne’s face tensed. He stomped hard, and a pillar of water surged up to block the blast.
The two waves collided with a roar. The whole lake shook.
Waves rolled out in every direction. Sheets of spray rained down. People onshore staggered from the force.

Wayne slid back, heels digging into the surface. Each step he took sent a heavy burst across the water, like stomping thunder through a drum.
His face turned grim. His pride cracked. The way Leander had knocked him back in front of everyone lit a fire in his chest. “Jeff, you’re so dead,” he growled.
He had wanted to recruit Leander before. Now, all he wanted was to crush him. The man humiliated him in public.
Leander opened his hand and gave a lazy beckon, fingers curling once in the air. “Let’s go,” he said with a grin. “Show me what you’ve got p>
“Do it p>
Wayne’s shout thundered across the lake. He didn’t wait. His arms shot forward, hands open, then clenched into fists. A black gleam wrapped around his knuckles like forged steel catching moonlight.
He drove both fists down onto the lake’s surface. Water exploded upward. Two walls of it rose several yards high, then slammed in from both sides, aiming to trap Leander between them.
These weren’t ordinary waves. Wayne had poured his raw inner strength into them, turning them into crushing slabs. If a tank had been caught in that space, it would have been flattened.
Leander didn’t blink. He stood in the middle, still and unshaken.
He stretched his right hand to the side and pulled it through the air.
A flash of pale light sliced forward like a sword from the shadows.
The two water walls split straight down the middle. They tore apart into four sections, collapsing in a shower of broken waves.
Wayne’s attack was gone. His eyes narrowed, but he didn’t move. Then, a streak of flame came for Leander’s waist.
It was Evelyn. She had already drawn her weapon, a long whip made from a rare, fire–binding metal.
Flames danced down its length, turning it into a whip of burning steel.
It cracked through the air and reached for Leander like a spear meant to skewer him.
Leander stayed relaxed. Right before it landed, he shifted. His foot lifted, his body leaned, and the flaming strike missed by inches. It scraped past his side, drawing sparks off his clothes.
Before the glow faded, a crimson blur dropped from above. Fauster had arrived, swinging his

weapon with full force.
The blade hadn’t even reached Leander, but its pressure split the lake below.

First
Wind howled through the trees. Water ripped open beneath him. His coat flapped wildly, and his hair lifted into the air.
The blade closed in–half a foot from his head.
Then, Leander moved.
His hand rose with quiet speed. His fingers curled into a claw. And he reached up to catch the descending blade with his bare hand.
Metal slammed against flesh.
The sound hit like a blacksmith’s hammer. A ringing clash echoed across the lake. A shockwave burst out from under Leander’s feet, sending waves crashing outward in every direction. He sank slightly, but never broke the surface.
The weapon stopped in place.
Leander had caught it. His grip held firm. Not a scratch marked his palm.
Fauster’s face froze in disbelief.
That blade had been his pride. It had cut through stone, armor, even lives. And now Leander had stopped it cold.
Before Fauster could react, Leander’s eyes flashed. His left arm swung out fast and hard, fist aimed straight at Fauster’s chest.
“Damn it!” Fauster shouted. He couldn’t pull away. His weapon was still locked. He had to block it head–on.
Their fists met with a violent slam.
A blast of air ripped through the lake. The mist split, and the surface of the water parted.
Fauster shot backward like a missile. He crashed through the mist and scraped across the lake, bouncing over ten yards before he could stop. A white line followed him across the surface.
He gripped his weapon with both hands, but his right arm shook. Blood leaked from the corner of his mouth. He had taken real damage.
In just one clash, Leander had already broken through. The other six Arbitrators stood frozen. Their expressions shifted. They watched Leander with new eyes.

Leander stood tall on the lake. His hands stayed folded behind his back. His grin was calm, but sharp. “Go ahead,” he said. “If that was your best, you might be in trouble. Don’t make this boring p>
