The black dragon was very strong. Although it had been suppressed by Leon from the beginning of the battle, the black dragon's attacks were extremely powerful, each one shattering the surrounding space. The same applies to Leon's attacks.
However, the space in the Danmachi world was very special and strong. Even if it was broken, it would quickly repair itself.
Within the sphere of light, space constantly shattered and then regenerateed, in an endless cycle.
Because of the shattered space, Leon was often injured. However, because of the presence of the Sephiroth Graal, his injuries were healed as soon as they appeared.
Leon didn't reject these injuries, because they would accelerate the increase of his Endurance stat. To achieve a balance among all stats, this is an inevitable outcome.
The divine power emanating from his body flowed continuously, and under Leon's control, it relentlessly bombarded the black dragon, blasting terrifying wounds into its body, causing blood to flow freely.
The black dragon, however, seemed to feel no pain whatsoever, and relentlessly attacked Leon.
Leon was not surprised by its reckless actions. He had learned about the existence of the Millennium Pact from the gods after returning from his expedition.
The birth of the Black Dragon was originally a preparation by the dungeon to deal with the Millennium Pact signed with the gods. It is comparable to the most powerful being in the pantheon of gods.
And he is now the strongest adventurer on the side of the gods. What the black dragon needs to do is defeat or even kill him.
"However, after today, it will all be over. Once the Black Dragon dies, the Thousand-Year Contract will be over. The dungeon will no longer be able to cause any trouble, and can only peacefully become either a paradise or a hell for adventurers to level up."
Leon punched the Black Dragon, sending it flying thousands of meters. He caught up in a flash and threw another punch, watching it let out a mournful roar, and murmured to himself.
If this were a scene from a novel, there's a high probability that something unexpected would happen at such a crucial moment but for Leon, it is reality.
The Black Dragon didn't unleash its full power like the protagonist in a novel and stage a desperate counterattack.
For a full day, from the start to the end of the battle, it was completely suppressed by Leon.
After Leon completely drained it's value, it was blasted into dust by his most powerful attack.
"It's a pity that the Black Dragon lost its magic stones after becoming a god, otherwise I could have given it to Ellie and June."
"Speaking of which, the Corrupted Spirit's magic stone hasn't been given to Ellie and June yet."
"I wonder if having only one will be enough to upgrade both of them at the same time."
"I doubt it's possible."
"But it's alright, I can take it slowly in the future."
Inside the light sphere, Leon looked at the spot where the black dragon had died and murmured softly.
He glanced at the still stable barrier. "The barrier created by the divine power unleashed during my all-out battle with the black dragon is quite powerful."
"Ellie said that all the gods are using the Mirror of God to keep an eye on the situation here, but I don't feel the same sense of being spied on as before. However, it should be destroyed."
Looking at the divine power barrier, Leon murmured softly, then waved his hand, unleashing his strongest attack and destroying the divine power barrier.
The divine power barrier was formed when Leon unleashed its divine power during its battle with the Black Dragon. However, it was ultimately just the embers of divine power. Although they merged together to form the barrier, it was simply not enough to withstand Leon's strongest attack.

BOOM!!!
Amidst the anticipation of the world, the divine barrier that had lasted for nearly a day shattered with a deafening roar.
Everyone instantly understood that the battle was over and the victor was decided.
They stared intently at the scene displayed by the Mirror of God, praying silently, their hearts pounding in their throats, afraid of seeing something they didn't want to see.
Soon, everyone saw the scene inside after the divine power barrier shattered.
Upon seeing the black figure standing silently in mid-air, radiating golden light, everyone was initially stunned, but quickly realized what was happening.
The battle between Leon and the Black Dragon caused the divine power barrier to expand and grow to an enormous size. In order to see the full extent of the divine power barrier, the gods made the area encompassed by the Mirror of God extremely large.
After the divine barrier shattered, the figure they saw was extremely small and humanoid. There's no need to guess in this situation.
After everyone realized what was happening, the next second, a deafening cheer resounded throughout the world.
People all over the world cheered and were in a frenzy, shouting Leon's name at the top of their lungs.
Even ordinary people in this world know that the Black Dragon is a disaster, and many people hope that it will be eliminated.
Even villages and towns protected by the black dragon scales and not troubled by monsters are the same.
Therefore, after learning that Leon had destroyed the Black Dragon, everyone felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude towards him, and their admiration for him reached its peak at that moment.
Whether they had known Leon for a long time through Orario's publicity, or were just ordinary people who were introduced to his information by those around them on this day because of the Mirror of God, they all felt the same way at this moment, and developed a strong sense of admiration for Leon.
In fact, many adventurers regard Leon as their faith.
That was an adventurer just like them. Adventurers just like them defeated the black dragon that the gods said had become a god. What an incredible feat that was!
At this moment, Leon became an indelible role model in the hearts of many adventurers, setting a benchmark and prompting them to have a clear goal, making them more and more eager to move forward, to go very far, and even to the point where Leon is now.
While ordinary people and adventurers in the lower realm needed to confirm Leon's identity to determine the outcome of the battle, the gods already knew the result the moment the black dragon was destroyed.
Because they had signed the millennium pact with the dungeon under the witness of the world, they knew that the pact was complete the moment the black dragon was eliminated.
Their side has won.
At this moment, countless gods smiled faintly.
Especially those gods who were very concerned about the safety of the lower realm, such as Ouranos.
Ouranos, who was usually stern and almost never smiled, with a calm, even indifferent, expression, now had a visible smile on his face.
"It's over..."
Meanwhile, on the other side, Leon, who had just broken the barrier and was about to go find Hermes and Asfi to return to Orario together, paused slightly.
What's going on?
"The power of faith is much greater than before, at least dozens of times greater."
Feeling the power of faith within his body, Leon's eyes widened slightly, and he murmured in disbelief.
Leon did not directly explore the changes in the power of faith.
After his initial surprise, he set off, Veins of Light spreading out and transforming into a streak of light as he flew towards Orario. Soon, he spotted Hermes and Asfi on the way.
"It's over, Leon." Hermes smiled as he saw Leon land in front of him.
"Yes, it's over." Leon nodded slightly.
"Soon, you'll become a god like us, won't you?" Hermes asked.
"You are the first to become a god since falna appeared. Lucifer is really lucky." Hermes remarked, his gaze sweeping over Leon.
Leon didn't respond to Hermes's words, but gave him a meaningful look before bringing up the matter of returning to Orario.
"Let's go, it's time to go back."
"Okay, let's go back."
Leon stretched out his hand, and a beam of light shot out, enveloping Hermes and Asfi, before flying towards Orario.
