From Ruin to Reign Leander's Unbreakable Will novel Chapter 214

Chapter 214 Pseudo Transcendence

Finished

The moment Fauster’s body vanished, Wayne’s stomach dropped. His thoughts spun in circles, and regret crashed over him like a wave.

He had been sure they had brought enough power. Seven elite Arbitrators, all trained and ranked among the best. That should have been more than enough to handle someone like Leander, even if he held the top spot on the Astria Power Index.

They had all believed that.

But now they knew how wrong they were.

Fauster had died in front of them, without even landing a hit. None of them had reacted in time.

Only now did they understand why the Arbitration Office had placed Leander in the S–level. He hadn’t even reached the Transcendent Realm, but his strength was already there.

He fought like someone who had stepped beyond the limits.

“One punch,” Jordan whispered. His fingers trembled. “He killed a Pre–Transcendent with one punch.”

Jordan wasn’t even at that level yet. He wasn’t close. Compared to Fauster, he was still weak. And if Fauster could be crushed so easily, then Jordan didn’t stand a chance.

Leander’s voice cut through the silence again. “Your turn.”

He stepped across the water. A faint ripple trailed behind his foot like a slash across a mirror. Then he flicked his finger.

A sharp streak of water burst from the ripple. It curved in the air and shot toward Einhart like a thrown blade.

Einhart’s instincts flared. Every nerve screamed.

The blade moved too fast. It didn’t fly through the air–it carved straight through it. He shouted and flung both hands forward. Two blazing fireballs burst from his palms, glowing bright and hot.

The blade didn’t slow.

It punched through both fireballs as if they didn’t exist. The flames cracked and vanished on contact, snuffed out like candles in a storm. The water blade kept coming–silent, focused, and deadly–rushing straight for Einhart’s face.

Einhart panicked and threw himself backward, but the water blade stayed on him like it was alive. He slammed both palms against the lake, raising two thick walls of water to block it.

But the blade wasn’t as fragile as it looked. It cut through the barriers like steel through paper, then zipped past Einhart’s face in a flash.

It kept flying until it reached the far end of the lake, then dropped into the water with a gentle splash. Ripples spread across the surface like nothing had happened.

“Einhart! You okay?”

Wayne rushed over, the others close behind, their voices tight with alarm.

Einhart didn’t speak. He lifted a shaking hand and pointed toward Leander. A strange clicking sound came from deep in his throat.

Everyone’s gaze followed his hand. Then they saw it.

A thin red line stretched across his neck, clean and sharp.

Blood erupted from the wound like a slashed hose. Einhart, the famed Man of Fire, collapsed on his back. He never made another sound. The disbelief frozen on his face told them everything.

He hadn’t seen it coming.

“That’s two,” Leander said, calm and cold.

His voice didn’t rise. His face didn’t change. He stood there like he hadn’t just taken another life.

The others stiffened. Even Wayne, who had faced death before, felt a chill settle in his spine. No one here had ever stood in front of someone like Leander,

Then the air cracked like it had split in half.

Wayne was about to shout an order when a sharp pulse tore through the air. It sounded like electricity had ripped through the sky.

Leander flew forward like a beast let loose. He tore through the space between them and dropped into their formation before they could blink.

The Arbitrators fired back on instinct. Blasts of inner strength exploded from their palms in streaks of color, aiming to overwhelm him.

Leander didn’t flinch. He reached out, gripped the streams of power, and pulled them in like

threads of silk. They bent in his hands, and he twisted them into a glowing sphere that pulsed in his grip.

“Skygrip Smash,” he said under his breath.

He locked both arms around the mass, then slammed it down with full force.

The lake didn’t just tremble–it collapsed.

The impact hammered into the water, creating a deep crater. The lakebed showed through the rippling surface. Boats flipped in all directions, tossed like toys.

Masked God of War, Taylor, Wayne, and Evelyn moved fast. They jumped out of range in time, barely dodging the blast.

Doug, the one they called Ripper, didn’t. The impact slammed into him, and his body crumpled with a loud snap. Bones shattered. Energy flooded into him and tore him apart from the inside out. A heartbeat later, he burst into a spray of blood that vanished into the churning

waves.

The lake went wild. Tidal surges slammed into Waterfront Plaza. The ground shook like a quake had hit from below.

Inside the viewing hall, everyone stood frozen. No one moved. No one breathed.

They had seen a man tear the lake apart with his bare hands. He didn’t just win. He devastated.

Yvette, Madeline, and Ginny were stunned. But they kept it together. They had seen something like this before at Glidewing Mountain. Grace had not. She couldn’t breathe.

Her chest locked up as she stared at the man standing alone in the center of the wreckage. She remembered all the stories Jordan had told her–how strong the top warriors were. She had listened, nodded, maybe even believed him a little,

But none of that came close to this. Now she understood what true strength looked like. She had tried to imagine Jeff, the top–ranked fighter in Astria, maybe gave him a certain face, a presence, something impressive. But it was nothing like this. Leander didn’t just fight. He reshaped the world around him. In front of that kind of power, everything she valued–money, status, reputation–crumbled like ash.

She thought back to the first day they met. She had looked down on him. She had even mocked Yvette and Madeline for orbiting him like he was some star.

Now she knew the truth. Now she saw why Madeline, the girl with the music in her soul, could never let him go.

Leander was young, yet his power towered over all of Astria. With strength like his, even the

most breathtaking woman would struggle to forget him.

Jordan stood frozen. His throat tightened. His hands shook. He had believed the Arbitration Office would corner Leander and bring him down. But now, with three Arbitrators dead in a flash, the truth hit him hard. This wasn’t a capture mission. It was a massacre.

The four survivors lost their focus. Their stance broke apart. Evelyn’s face went pale as regret filled her chest. She knew she never should’ve joined this fight.

Wayne’s sharp blue eyes trembled. He clenched his jaw and made a split–second decision.

Jeff’s too strong,” he shouted. “We’re backing out. We leave now!”

He turned to retreat, and Evelyn and Taylor followed. But before they could take flight, an arm barred their way.

“You…”

All three stared in surprise. The one who stopped them had been silent until now. It was the Masked God of War.

He hadn’t lifted a hand in the fight so far, but he held the highest rank among them. His face stayed hidden behind the mask, and his voice came out low and steady. “Running won’t work.

“Jeff is dead set on killing us. If we run, we die anyway. We fight or we’re finished.”

He stepped forward, placing himself between them and Leander. His eyes locked onto Leander’s form like a hunter zeroing in on his

prey.

“Give me everything you’ve got. I’ll activate the forbidden technique. I can reach the Transcendent Realm for a short time.

“It’s our only chance.”

The three froze for only a second. Then they moved as one. They placed their hands together and poured all their inner strength into his body. The streams of energy flowed straight into his back like glowing rivers of light.

The lake roared as winds tore across the surface. His muscles bulged. His frame thickened. His pupils flared red.

The force building around him shook the water until it boiled and surged.

Evelyn, Taylor, and Wayne collapsed into the lake, drained of all strength. Their bodies floated limply, but their eyes never left him. They stared at his back with hope burning in their chests.

The Masked God of War didn’t look human anymore. A radiant beam of light shot up from his

body and pierced the clouds above. Even those standing far away at Waterfront Plaza felt the crushing pressure sink down on them like a divine force had descended.

Leander stood forty feet away. He felt that overwhelming wave of power surge across the lake, and for the first time, his expression shifted. His gaze sharpened.

That’s. Pseudo Transcendent Realm?”
