237 Chapter 236 (1/2)
”What is the plan?” Darya asked. ”It looks like a few of my spells will be less effective here.”
”You are right...” Leon rubbed his chin. ”That thing can counter our spells, but it can't counter both of our spells... we just have to use different spells at the same time.”
”Mmm? Ah... you want to attack with a certain element, and when the creature tries to absorb that element, we will use others to cause even more damage.” Darya said.
”You understand my point. You should try to put the boss in a sphere of water and then freeze it.” Leon frowned. ”The boss will probably try to melt off, absorbing the ice. It doesn't matter, either way. I will use thunder attacks to counter and stop the creature.”
”What are we going to do if that thing decides to absorb your thunder attacks?” Darya asked.
”We will change and attack him with earth and magma and keep doing that until we kill it,” Leon explained. ”In the end, it's metallic, and magma parts will be useless against our combination of attacks.”
”I see...” Darya nodded.
Before the fight, Leon had to make some preparations. In an ordinary battle against a tough opponent, the moment that would cause Leon's defeat was the moment he runs out of mana. Although it wasn't cheap, there was a way to avoid that. He just had to keep a huge container of mana potions nearby. The moment his mana decreased, he only has to touch the liquid, and he would recover his mana. Instead of transporting something like that, it was better to have someone keeping throwing mana potions at him, but there wasn't. Leon tried to make some skeletons do that, but the stupid things could only obey commands like attack, defend, move and stop.
It was weird, but with the help of some steel lines, Leon knitted a hose, using the leather of the three-eyed rats. After creating two containers of steel and filling them with the liquid of mana potions, Leon opened a hole, put the hose and connected the magic liquid to their backs… every time they use their mana, their backs would absorb the liquid.
”I always imagine myself fighting against monsters… but not like this.” Darya frowned while looking around and seen the disgusting rat leather almost glued to her back.
”Don't complain… I don't like to fight like this either.” Leon massaged his eyebrows.
It was a plan that would only work against a monster. A smart opponent would quickly find a way and destroy Leon's supply of mana. Anyway, it was the best way Leon could think of to fight against a monster, keeping himself alive, without having to stop attacking.
Leon didn't want to use that method for longer than the necessary, so he and Darya walked toward the boss. When the creature saw them, it attacked shooting Magma Arrows, Ice Arrows, Steel Arrows. But Leon and Darya's Mana Shield blocked the attack, even though they lost the chance to cause a lot of damage with a preemptive strike, that didn't bother them. Without a care in the world, they shot several magic projectiles.
