My Love Debts Are Everywhere - Chapter 421

Chapter 421: Settling the Grudge Completely
Leon stood calmly, the Holy Sword of Zenith still embedded in Velix’s left chest.

His gaze remained steady as he looked at Velix’s lifeless body, yet a deep complexity flickered in his golden eyes.

“At last, this grudge is settled,” he whispered, exhaling a quiet sigh of relief.

He felt his body gradually relax, as though a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. And yet, strangely, there was no sense of joy in Velix’s death.

Despite their hatred, Leon couldn’t deny that Velix had treated him well over the years.

He had gifted him mansions, gold, and other rewards whenever Leon successfully completed missions for the Imperial Palace.

Beyond that, they had often exchanged words, engaging in deep conversations during their free time.

It would be a lie for Leon to say he felt no sadness over Velix’s death, even if he had deserved his fate.

“Congratulations, Master. You’ve finally overcome the last obstacle in your heart.”

Just then, Miranda’s soft, warm voice—one he hadn’t heard in a long time—echoed in his mind.

Leon chuckled softly as he pulled the sharp blade of the Holy Sword of Zenith from Velix’s chest.

“Thank you, Miranda. Without you, I don’t know if I could have gotten my revenge this quickly,” he said sincerely.

Everything he said was true. Without Miranda’s help, he wouldn’t have been able to settle his grudge so quickly.

Although he had regained his hero power that night, the Holy Sword of Zenith had already acknowledged Guren as its new master.

In other words, he was no longer a Sword Hero—just a man who carried the power and destiny of one.

Fortunately, he had met Miranda and obtained the Great Sword of Chaos as his second weapon.

With its power, he was able to dominate the battlefield and defeat Valen, Luna, and humanity’s army.

“You’re welcome, Master. But really, you don’t need to thank me. As I said before, my only purpose is to serve you,” Miranda replied with a soft giggle.

“Pfft! Alright, alright, I get it. But still, I have to thank you,” Leon answered in a gentle tone.

He then shifted his gaze toward the Seven Crystal Aurora Magic Staff floating beside the throne, studying it carefully.

“Miranda, are these seven crystals the so-called Seven Celestial Crystals you mentioned before?” he asked curiously.

The Seven Celestial Crystals were once fragments of the Evil God’s weapon—the Divine Sword of Burning Sky.

According to Miranda, these sacred materials had been stolen by the Evil God before being sent into the world by the gods.

With the Divine Sword of Burning Sky in his grasp, the Evil God became unimaginably powerful, capable of overwhelming both Luminus Troya, the Hero of Mankind, and Amon Crimson, the First Demon Emperor—each wielding the true Holy Sword of Zenith and the Great Sword of Chaos, respectively.

One could only imagine how terrifying the Divine Sword of Burning Sky must have been to rival both legendary weapons.

Hearing Leon’s question, Miranda fell silent for a moment before finally responding, her voice filled with shock. “Master! Th-those… those are really the Seven Celestial Crystals!”

Even though Leon had expected this answer, he was still slightly surprised to hear it confirmed.

“Are you sure, Miranda?” he asked again, seeking confirmation.

“Yes, I’m absolutely certain! Those are without a doubt the Seven Celestial Crystals,” Miranda replied confidently. “I saw their true form with my own eyes when the Divine Sword of Burning Sky shattered and the Evil God was sealed. There’s no mistaking it. But Master, I must say I’m truly impressed. You actually managed to figure out that the Seven Celestial Crystals belonged to Velix. That’s incredible!”

Leon nodded at Miranda’s explanation, but a proud smile curled at the corners of his lips as he heard her last words.

“Ahem! There’s no need for all that praise. Honestly, I was just taking a guess, and I’m just as surprised that it turned out to be right,” Leon said with feigned humility.

He then took the magic staff, examining it closely with curiosity, and asked, “So, what should we do with the Seven Celestial Crystals, Miranda? Should we keep them, or do you have something in mind?”

“Of course, we should take and keep them, Master. While the Seven Celestial Crystals no longer belong to the Evil God, we can’t afford to let our guard down. There’s a chance that the Evil God of the past embedded special methods into them so they could return to him once he awakens. For that reason, we must ensure he never gets them back, or you might face trouble later on,” Miranda replied solemnly.

“Understood. I agree with you,” Leon said with a small nod.

Closing his eyes, the Seven Aurora Crystals Magic Staff in his hand vanished into thin air.

As he slowly reopened his eyes, Leon’s gaze fell on Velix’s lifeless body on the throne, and he exhaled deeply.

“Everything is settled, and now the next step is to meet with Arshley to set the plan in motion for uniting mankind under the banner of Holy Orthodoxy,” he whispered firmly.

Uniting mankind was essential to prevent any potential rebellion or betrayal from those who might later join the Evil God’s camp.

With that, Leon vanished from his spot and reappeared beside Athena.

“Everything’s in place, and I truly appreciate your help,” Leon said softly, glancing at Athena, Luna, and Valen.

Valen gave a dismissive snort, turning his gaze away. “You don’t need to thank me. The only reason I helped was for my own sake. I’m furious with Velix for deceiving me.”

Seeing through Valen’s feigned expression, Luna rolled her eyes and whispered, “What a hypocrite.”

Shaking her head, Luna looked at Leon and tightly hugged his arm again. “There’s no need to thank me, Leon. What Velix did was unforgivable, and I couldn’t just stand by.”

Leon’s heart warmed at Luna’s sincere words. He gently ruffled her hair and whispered, “Thank you, Luna. Your help will never be forgotten, and I’ll repay you one day.”

Luna grinned happily, leaning into his touch. “Whatever you say, Leon.”

She didn’t care about repayment—she did everything out of genuine affection for him. Praise and gratitude, like before, were all she sought.

Meanwhile, Athena, watching how close the two were, felt a flare of jealousy rise within her chest.

“Humph! How dare you hug my Leon?” Athena huffed, clearly displeased.

She quickly wrapped her arm around Leon’s other side, shooting Luna a glare filled with hostility.

Luna, not backing down, locked eyes with Athena, and the two exchanged glares full of clear hostility.

Leon merely smiled and stayed silent. At times, it amused him to watch the two women clash, though, of course, their rivalry was not one of violence.

Just then, a loud, familiar shout rang out from the direction of the throne room ruins.

“Big Brother Leon!”
