In mere seconds, Leon learned a new skill and also leveled up the same skill up to level thirty. Leon didn't know how, but he managed to block the attack. However, that had a price. Leon's arms were bent in the wrong direction, and both bracers had some scratches… Now Donan had the power to damage an extremely rare and powerful material… instead of thinking that, Leon used Heal to recover from his wounds, but then noticed he had almost zero mana. A single attack from Donan made him fall to the ground of the lower world and even consumed all his mana… despite that, how did Leon manage to block such an attack?
”Shit… that was dark magic… that was definitely teleportation. I didn't even see his body blurring…”
If it were teleportation, then it would explain how Leon managed to block the attack. If Donan had increased his speed, Leon wouldn't have the chance to react and block. Still, it was weird… if he now could teleport, why didn't he teleport to attack Leon again? Certainly, Donan knew that Leon was more resilient than that…
A few seconds later, Leon recovered enough of his mana to use Heal, and at the same time, he saw a shadow coming over from the city… It was Donan, but despite his speed, he was descending quite slowly.
”I see now… that kind of power-up came with a cost… Donan probably is suffering some serious drawbacks to maintaining that form. Not only that, since he obtained power far beyond his current body can handle, he probably can't fight like before, or for long.”
As much as fun analyze his opponent's skills was, Leon didn't have time for this. Donan's attacks could make Leon spend all his mana just to keep himself alive, so he had no choice but to retreat a little and use Mana-Eater in one of his mithril spears in order to restore his mana.
That was very annoying considering that Leon started that fight, but it couldn't be helped. That was a strategic retreat. He wasn't running away… at least that was what he was telling himself, while Leon created a hole in the ground and hid in there… Then Leon had an idea. If that power upgrade, made Donan stronger but it was physically taxing, then, possibly…
