BXBX NOVEL 500 Chapter 498
Leon welcomed Crik with a barrage of Magma Spears. Although Plasma Arrow was, without a doubt, his most potent spell, Magma Spear was troublesome because it had a lot of mass and could fly at high speeds. Being hit by a single Magma Spear was no different than getting hit a small meteorite. It wasn\'t that troublesome for someone of Crik\'s power, but being hit dozens of meteorites every second was...

Crik opened his eyes widely when he felt his body trembling while being hit by the Magma Spears. It was a simple spell in his eyes, but the raw power behind it far surpassed his expectations. He knew that he could endure even a river of magma for quite a while, but bearing the power of something that was staying still was very different.
Crik was forced to stop in mid-air before he could even get close to Leon, but after changing directions, he escaped the range of attack, but not for long. Leon activated Haste and Electric Armor. It wasn\'t time to worry about his stock of mana. It was time to end that once and for all.
The barrage of Magma Spears stopped Crik once again. He changed directions and finally noticed that it wouldn\'t work. Leon was able to follow him with his eyes, and he finally noticed how, when he saw the strange mana around his body.
"I\'m sorry, everyone… but I can\'t have some fun and win this battle unscathed at the same time," Crik said.
Crik made his choice, his people were probably watching him, and he didn\'t want to show a pathetic fight. That would be his last battle, and he felt that he deserved to do whatever he wants at least one last time. All his choices Crik made in the past two hundred years, he made thinking about his species. After sacrificing everything for them, he wanted to fight for himself against a worthy opponent.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Crik shouted.
After the shout that made Leon feel shivers, he noticed that Crik was charging in a straight line again. It looked like he was as weird as Leon, he wanted to enjoy the fight, but sometimes he wanted to win no matter what. That was strange, but since it was convenient for Leon, he decided to just keep attacking and move backward whenever that was necessary.
Unfortunately, and even though he was clearly getting weaker, Crik still managed to attack Leon before he could even think of using Transfer. For the thousandth or so time, Leon and his Mana Barrier spun around as if both were a soccer ball.
"Shit... What a guy..."
Instead of attacking again using Magma Spears, Leon used Ice Beam and Thunder Ray, which surprised Crik for a moment, but soon he ignored the shock and ice and charged forward once again. Leon wanted to fry his circuits, but it looked like Crik didn\'t have any, even though he had the resilience of the exterminator himself.
Leon thought of summoning his spirits, the consumption of mana would increase exponentially, but so would the damage. However, he decided not to do so, just like his target decided to face him alone, Leon couldn\'t rely on his spirits on that battle. Besides, if any of them wanted to help, they would have said so. Even Efreet was silent because he clearly respected the man who decided to face Leon alone. Leon also felt the same, but he was too tired to keep fighting. So, he decided to take some risks.
Leon deactivated Mana Barrier, and the mithril around him fell on the floor. Crik opened his eyes widely when he saw that and noticed the look in Leon\'s eyes. He was tired and, at the same time, dead-serious about something. Leon disappeared from his sight in the blink of an eye, then Crik searched for him in all directions. But he felt something touching his back. Crik turned around and punched Leon, but much to his surprise, Leon accepted the punch while at the same time grabbed his right arm.

Leon managed to stay in the same position because Crik grabbed Leon\'s right arm, but that had been a mistake. Crik\'s mana started to decrease at fearsome speed, and then he noticed what Leon was planning. He tried to shake Leon off, but he received so much damage that even Leon had the strength to continue grabbing his arm even after receiving his punches in a fast sequence, as long as he keeps Mana Reinforcement active. Mana Armor nullified the damage, but Leon still could feel the vibration since the skill wasn\'t so convenient.
Little by little, Crik\'s strength was decreasing. The fact that he always attacked with full power didn\'t help him. Despite the fact that he was going to lose thanks to an indirect way of attack didn\'t make him change his mind or get angry. He knew that there was no point in complaining. In a duel to the death, only a fool wouldn\'t use all the tricks upon their sleeve.
