Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

Crik wasn't an opponent Leon could use to gain status points. He had to get rid of him before something unexpected happens. The guy with his fists alone was powerful enough to destroy Leon in a matter of seconds if he didn't have some mithril to use, after all. Instead of using the helmet, it was supposed to be, Leon just equipped one to consume it using Mana-Eater. After that, he pointed both hands toward Crik and activated Gravity and Telekinesis... in an instant; his mana became empty.

"You have got to be kidding me..."

Leon managed to slow the speed of Crik by half at least and made him open his eyes in surprise. In that fraction of a second, Leon used Mana-Eater and then Transfer to escape. On the place he was 0.1 seconds ago, a massive explosion happened. Crik hit the ground as if he was a meteor. Leon's attack didn't stop him but messed with his rhythm.

"This will be difficult..."

While Leon thought that, he recovered his mana and fired several Plasma Arrows, every time he could, he shot another, but he didn't feel that he had hit Crik. He felt that because he was sure that he didn't cause much damage, but the notifications said something else.

In the blink of an eye, something left the wave of dust created by the impact, and one moment later, Leon saw Crik about to punch him. The speed of that guy was insane. Leon had no idea how he couldn't burn his body even a bit by moving around at that speed for so long. Even if it was made of mithril, it should at least overheat his system or something. But then Leon heard Crik's heart beating... despite everything, his target still was a human or something similar. Everything will end once he damages their brain or heart.

Leon let Crik attack him upward several times until Leon could feel his body freezing since he was close to leaving the atmosphere of that world. Once again, he returned back to the land and used the time where he was recovering his mana from focusing. Two seconds later, Leon saw Crik flying toward him, but he didn't panic. Leon created a single Plasma Arrow and waited for the last moment. By activating Haste and Electric Armor, Leon managed to see Crik's movement, he wasn't fast enough to just move out of the way, but he didn't want that. He wanted to attack at the very moment Crik punched his Mana Barrier, and so he did.

Leon didn't see until now, but he could imagine that Crik fought like a mad bull, and he was right. Crik fighting style was rough, and focused only on punching his targets. Since he focused on speed and brute strength, every single punch could kill the toughest of the opponents, but that left him wide open to counter attacks, and that was what Leon decided to do. He adjusted his aim at the very moment Crik punched the Mana Barrier and made not only one, but several Plasma Arrows fly toward Crik's eyes. As expected, Leon was sent flying before he could see the result of his actions.

Leon didn't have time to see with his own eyes that he caused something. He didn't get hit a few seconds after attacking, so that was a start. Still, Leon felt quite restless after suddenly stop being played with like a volleyball.

When Leon stopped and analyzed his surroundings, he saw Crik holding his head with his left hand, covering the left eye, the one Leon had aimed at. He couldn't see blood, but it was clear that Crik suffered some damage. Contrary to his expectations, Crik was grinning from ear to ear, as if he had found the most interesting thing he had ever seen.

"That was good, that was very good," Crik said while smiling viciously and then revealed just a small scratch on his inorganic left eye. "It has been a while since I felt this tension! Let's continue, and I hope that you can keep that level of focus for quite a while."

Leon frowned because even though he liked to train and do exciting things to pass the time, he wasn't a battle-freak... or so he thought. It looked like Crik could become a good friend of Efreet, but that itself was a problem because it was clear that Crik forgot his goal and wanted to fight just to have fun. Leon also wished to enjoy a good battle now and then, but he didn't want to spend days or weeks doing that. Unfortunately, Leon saw in Crik's eyes that he wanted to fight for quite a while, and considering that Leon saw that his health, mana, and stamina didn't decrease even a little bit, it looked like he could use the mana stored in their mithril parts to restore their energy automatically.
