Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

655 Chapter 653

"Sekundez, I will need your help," Leon declared.

"Even with my current power and even if use all your mana, I can't stop that dragon for more than a moment," Sekundez explained. "Although he doesn't have the power to control time, he has plenty of resistances, and as you can see, his mentality is stupidly high. So, the effects won't be that impressive."

"It is alright," Leon said. "I just need a moment to confirm and try something."

Using the power of those three spirits at the same time would cost a lot of mana, but Leon didn't have much choice there. So, he focused himself on the opening that Sekundez would give him.

Leon teleported, and at that very moment, suddenly, Netro's right path was about to crush him while the left one was moving to protect his right eye. However, both of them slowed down for a moment, thanks to Sekundez's power. She created a zone where the time passed slower around the dragon's head and arms.

Without wasting time and the precious mana used to do that, Leon created a smaller version of Dark Sun and fired toward Netro's remaining eye. As expected, blood and flesh were spilled in all directions when the time has begun to pass like usual, and now Netro was blind… but he only stayed like that for a mere moment. In the blink of an eye, a light covered his wounds and made those disappear entirely.

"… At least I managed to make him taster a bit of his own poison," Leon said after a long sigh.

Netro was back to normal, but he was as mad as ever. However, instead of worrying about that, Leon had an idea while observing the blood on Netro's face. As expected, using that to attack the beast directly would work only once. However, as long as he is subtle, Leon could do several other things.

"He also healed his tail, so I'm back at the beginning… In any case, I have to be fast and subtle. Although he already knew what I did, he won't be able to counter Sekundez's power… probably."

"Hey, Leon. I want to fight, too." Efreet protested. "It is not fair that only Sekundez, Shadow, and Rem can have this much fun."

"Fun, you say… I can't let all of you fight at the same time. If he uses that conceptual attack on you guys, I don't know if I will react on time and cancel the summoning of all of you."

While Leon was fighting for his life, Efreet as carefree as ever. Although that wasn't unexpected, given his usual behavior, Leon still got a little angrier since he was worried about their well-being, and Efreet couldn't care less about it. He looked like of those warriors of TV shows who didn't care about dying… Efreet probably didn't believe in Valhalla and Valkyries, but he certainly was like a Viking who didn't care about dying on the battlefield.

Leon charged forward again after getting rid of the semi-destroyed scales that were protecting his vitals. Although Netro's scales were pretty big, Leon would need to get a new set to yesterday, so he couldn't fail this time.

After appearing in front of Netro's head again, Leon prepared himself to attack. However, that only was a diversion since he didn't have enough mana to attack and give Sekundez, Shadow, and Rem at the same time. Netro noticed that Leon would repeat the same thing over and over again. So, he decided to crush Leon once and for all.

After sacrificing a part of his tail, Netro focused his eyes on Leon while Sekundez used his power to stop him. Despite that, Leon's body still got paralyzed. He didn't know how or why. All Leon knew was that he was screwed. The effects of Sekundez's action ended, and both of Netro's paws fell over Leon.

Netro smirked when he raised his paws and saw the semi-crushed body of Leon, but he opened his eyes widely when he saw that same body recovering in the blink of an eye. A moment later, Leon disappeared.

"Oh, boy… I thought I was a goner."

Leon had no idea how he survived, but he would say that it was thanks to Dragon Mode if he could bet on something. That skill changed his body much more than he had expected… so despite his small endurance and mentality, his body was also much more resilient for physical attacks.

"He really seems shocked…" Leon said while he was eating a part of Netro's tail. "Still, as expected, he has many tricks up his sleeve… I tried to fool him, but he still got me."

Leon checked his body and the black scales seemed a little bigger and sturdier than before. Although that made him feel worried, those disappeared whenever he deactivated the skill, so it wasn't a real problem… possibly.

In any case, it looks like the plan to surprise Netro was working better than expected. The interval of his conceptual attacks was rather irregular, and Leon could understand why by looking at the eye by looking at his eyes. He said it before that it wasn't possible to learn that kind of spell, so that was really disturbing him, and that was making his concentration waver.

"… This skill is certainly leveling up quite fast. I wonder why…" Leon rubbed his chin. "Anyway, Netro is powerful, but he is a living creature that can still get scared… so I have to show him something even more surprising in order to obtain an opening to kill the bastard."
