Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

445 Chapter 443

Fortunately, Leon could see both, the massive demi-minotaur and the wannabe hero, Hector. In case something happens, Leon could quickly use Transfer and help him if the need arises, but Leon doubted that he had the reflexes to act in case that happens.

"I guess I need to use Haste and Electric Armor... I just hope that idiot isn't trying to look cool in front of his daughter... or descendants."

Leon activated both, and thanks to that, the speed of his mithril spears were being created increased, but since his focus was on the battle, Leon didn't notice the several errors he was making. But it couldn't be helped since Hector's words echoed in his head. Although he was an idiot nine hundred years ago, he was already respected by an entire city. It would be weird if he didn't grow up a little bit more after such a long time.

While Leon was thinking about these things, the massive demi-minotaur charged, but surprisingly, Hector stopped him while pressing the tip of his lance on the creature's forehead. Despite that, his weapon only caused a small scratch. Hector corrected his posture and then pulled back his right arm and lance. The next moment, he moved both toward the enemy and shot a concentrated Flamethrower, Leon decided to call that Fire Beam because it looked exactly like that. The attack caused a massive explosion when it hit the demi-minotaur, but Leon felt that it hadn't been enough. As expected, when the dust disappeared, Leon saw the monster standing, and his arms protected his vital organs.

"Those bastards sure are tough... only a few of them had pieces of armor, but none of them have weapons. I thought they were supposed to use axes since they were half-minotaurs."

Some warriors approached Hector. He gave them the signal for them to fall back. Either he wanted to keep his men alive and well, or he wants to hog all the glory for himself... but Leon could only see him dying. It was quite a common event, Leon saw that many times... in movies and cartoons.

Leon couldn't use Appraisal from such distance, but he was pretty sure that Hector didn't have enough mana to shot more than five of those Fire Beams. Unfortunately, Leon couldn't imagine Hector killing that creature even if he manages to hit the demi-minotaur left chest five times. Unless he gets a clean hit on the head, the beast won't die.

"Efreet, what do you think?" Leon asked Efreet, who was flying a few meters above him.

"That man already has Pyromancy. If I give him my blessing, he will win." Efreet answered.

Leon nodded, that would be easy to do, but was that the outcome he wanted? Would that solve the actual problem of the people of that underground city? The answer was clear; no. Even though Leon didn't feel any animosity toward Hector, since he protected Amanda and Maya for hundreds of years, and that was something he didn't have the chance to do, he would have to let him suffer a little more and solve the problem himself.

As if the creature until had fought without using any buffs, the demi-minotaur's body became red, and then the air around it started to vibrate. That caught everyone by surprise, even Leon. However, the next moment, something even more surprising happened. The demi-minotaur disappeared, and Hector got hit and sent flying backward by something. Leon saw what happened. The creature got much faster and stronger to the point where even Leon, with all his buffs and passive skills, barely could follow with his eyes. A single punch had been so powerful that Hector hit the mountain Leon was in. For a second, Leon thought he messed up again, but when the wave of dust disappeared, he saw Hector alive. It looked like he reacted on time and only broke half of the bones of his body.

p "I guess this is it..."

Hector got up to fight, but it was clear that he didn't have any chance of winning. Besides, two people put themselves between the demi-minotaur and Hector in order to give him some room to breathe. Those were Amanda and Maya. Leon couldn't take any chances, that creature war stronger than anything humanoid creature Leon had seen so far, even stronger than the angels. He couldn't let his sister and nice die. The lesson was over.

In the end, the mana liquid only gave Leon the chance to create only ten mithril spears, but that was enough. Before the creature could charge to attack again, Leon used Transfer and appeared right above it. The very moment the demi-minotaur felt his presence, was the moment the beast got impaled from all sides by the mithril spears.

"I didn't think you could be so sneaky, Leon," Undine giggled.

Leon ignored Undine's words and just increased the power on his spears. Although he got surprised by the piercing power of his weapons, it didn't have been enough to kill the demi-minotaur in a single attack. However, eventually, the creature fell dead.

Leon's actions and arrival surprised everyone. Amanda and Maya were quite shocked since he appeared quite at a convenient time. Regardless, Leon ignored them and started to slaughter the demi-minotaurs. Leon was causing the fall of another race and civilization, but he ignored those facts. He was just a single human, there were only so many things he could worry and protect, and he wouldn't succeed in reaching his goals if he let those who almost killed his family and friends live for long.
