From Outcast to Overlord The Unyielding Heir (Leander Ashcroft) novel Chapter 240

Chapter 240 Lord of Umbral

Finished

Yannick, known as the “Spearstorm” and ranked sixth on Astria Power Index, was stunned. In just a moment, four of the Six Wraiths were killed, and two were seriously injured.

His eyes widened in disbelief.

For most Martial Sovereigns, projecting inner strength beyond 10 feet is already impressive.

Meanwhile, by just casually waving his sleeve, Leander’s energy struck over 30 feet away, reducing four Martial Sovereigns to dust.

The sheer power shattered Yannick’s understanding of martial strength.

He had roamed Astria for decades, but never had he seen someone this terrifying.

“It’s my pleasure to meet you, Sovereign.”

Before everyone’s eyes, Thaddeus–head of the Levingtons and ranked 15th in Astria–bowed deeply to Leander with utmost respect.

“Sovereign?”

That word made everyone tremble.

Across Astria, there was only one person worthy of such a title–the Iron Sovereign.

Emma’s eyes quivered, her body frozen. She saw only that familiar silhouette–Leander.

Earlier, when Leander declared Ravenridge his territory, she had begun to suspect. Now, with Thaddeus bowing before him, it all became clear.

“Is… Is he really Jeff?”

Even though the evidence was right before her eyes, Emma still found it hard to believe. Her hands trembled uncontrollably.

When she first met Leander, he had delivered Maeve back home. He wore tattered clothes, looking like a beggar. Naturally, she looked down on him.

If he hadn’t saved Maeve or claimed he could cure her blindness, she wouldn’t have even spoken to him.

Later, when he actually found the cure, their father, Jackson, planned to let Maeve marry Leander.

However, Emma strongly opposed the idea. She and her father even lied to Maeve, claiming Leander had died.

This was all because she believed Leander wasn’t good enough for Maeve–or their family.

However, now, a cruel truth stared her in the face.

The man she once scorned was none other than Jeff, the undefeated Sovereign of Astria, feared by all.

Her body trembled, and she nearly coughed up blood from the shock.

She wasn’t alone. Not far away, Troy, Trevor, and Elias were all dumbfounded, their expressions frozen in disbelief.

Elias had once seen Leander living in a shabby rented room and treated him like a random student.

Trevor had argued with him on a plane and even planned to take revenge, seeing him as a foolish kid.

Troy had wanted to kill Leander quietly after tonight’s events, seeing him as nothing but a threat to Maeve’s heart.

Each of them had looked down on Leander–never treating him as someone worth fearing.

Nevertheless, now, the truth hit like a slap in the face–that nobody they despised was the Iron Sovereign, Astria’s most powerful man.

Yannick snapped out of his daze and realized–if anyone in Astria could unleash such overwhelming power, it had to be Jeff.

Maeve stared blankly at Leander, her expression shifting.

She had often imagined what her mysterious Ice Cube looked like–tall or short, handsome or plain–but she never expected him to be a hero of legendary strength, the top–ranked warrior in Astria, whom her own sister admired so deeply.

This surprise was almost too much to take in.

“Sovereign? You’re Jeff?”

Norman and Dreadlord coughed up blood, barely clinging to life. From 10 feet away, their eyes widened in shock.

“Now that you know, why bother asking again?” Leander’s voice was cold. “Enough talk. Let me send you on your way.”

The Six Wraiths looked formidable, but they were only peak Martial Sovereign, nowhere near Leander’s level.

Leander had once killed six masters of the Pre–Transcendent Realm at Waterfront Plaza in West Listin, and even one of the Transcendent Realm. The Six Wraiths could do nothing against him.

“To kill a Martial Sovereign like chickens, to treat them like ants–that’s the Iron Sovereign, Jeff.

Emma’s heart sank. The stronger Leander showed himself to be, the more foolish her past decisions felt.

Norman and the Dreadlord now fully understood why Leander had been able to kill all the elite killers sent by the Arbitration Office at West Listin. They couldn’t compare to him at all.

“Sovereign, please spare us. The Umbral Court never meant to offend you. We beg for mercy.”

Norman–acting leader of the Umbral Court–bowed deeply and pleaded for his life for the first time ever, throwing away his pride.

He knew Leander could kill them as easily as swatting flies.

“Mercy?” Leander sneered. “You should’ve thought about that before storming into Ravenridge. Remember this–in your next life, don’t ever mess with me.”

Without emotion, he raised his hand. A crushing force swept through the night.

Norman and Dreadlord turned pale. The air around them was heavy with the scent of death.

Everyone held their breath, expecting Leander’s final strike, but suddenly, he paused.

His eyes shifted.

“Haha!”

A burst of laughter echoed from the shadows.

A tall figure stepped out of the darkness behind Norman and Dreadlord. He seemed to blend into the night itself.

“Seeing you in person lives up to the name. The Iron Sovereign truly lives up to the legend.”

The newcomer wore a black coat. He was tall, around 30 years old, and disturbingly handsome.

His black, glowing eyes locked onto Leander.

He casually stepped in front of the two wounded men.

Only now did everyone sense his presence–his approach had gone completely unnoticed, even by powerful figures like Yannick.

As he arrived, an invisible pressure filled the air. Weaker fighters like Emma felt dizzy and uneasy. Even Yannick and Thaddeus felt chills run through their hearts.

This was the presence of a supreme master.

The mysterious man smiled, his voice carrying an air of power and timelessness as he said, “Jeff, allow me to introduce myself. I’m the leader of the Umbral Court. People of the last era called me the Lord of Umbral.”
