Von Leon/Monster

""Stronger now are the people of the Maple World, but still now enough to defeat the Black Mage.""

- Von Leon

Von Leon, also known as the Lion King, is one of the commanders of the Black Mage.

Story
Von Leon was the king of a village in El Nath. Many people were loyal and devoted to him to the extent of some people whom have already passed away (turned into ghost) chose to remain loyal to him but could not rest in peace due Von Leon's turning into a villain. The loyal servants of his then decided that Von Leon should be killed, however as much as they didn't want to, but they believed that the old Von Leon would appreciate their thinking.

A hundred years ago, Von Leon's wife was murdered. He found a Cygnus Knight crest on her body which made him believe that they did it. This was all actually a set-up for him to join the Black Mage, which he did. After the Black Mage was sealed, Von Leon casted a spell which killed every resident in the village and his castle disappeared; the moment the Black Mage were to return, Von Leon would too.

Like the servants, his ghost wife was also not at peace. She tried to reach out to Von Leon, but he could not see her because he went too far in his villainy and could not turn back.

Battle Overview
Von Leon is likely the first difficult Boss a player will encounter in the game, and the first one encountered who can seal the ability to use most potions and other buffs, an ability exhibited later by other bosses. His standard attacks include several using his claws (one of which can kill a player instantly) laser beams from his eyes dealing damage to two players to either side of him, and an AoE roar attack. He always focuses his attacks on whatever player did the most damage to him in the previous fifteen seconds. If that player tries to evade him, he can teleport across the arena to that player.

Occasionally during the battle, Von Leon will banish one or more members of the party to the Aerial Prison, a room full of chests; each player must find a key by smashing the chests to use the portal to return to the battle. This effect prematurely ends the effect that seals buffs.

While a time limit is in play, each player has unlimited lives.

Trivia

 * A photograph found in the Monster Park shows Von Leon with Spiegelmann. Seeing as Von Leon looks happy in the picture, it was presumably taken before his wife's death. (If it is shown to Spieglemann, he'll bribe the player into keeping quiet about it.)
 * There's a beggar in El Nath named Nonvon Leon who looks like Von Leon.
