347 Chapter 346 (1/2)
Thanks to Mana Dominion, Leon didn't have to worry all that much about surprise attacks. Despite that, he still was quite confused when he turned around and saw Adellum looking at him with an amused expression.
”You really are something else,” Adellum said. ”I don't remember seeing that guy before, but he looked quite the typical warrior. Big ego, pride, small brain... but you made him accept his defeat easily.”
”It is all thanks to your dead friend,” Leon said. ”His weapon helped me a lot, but you already saw that. So, you will be the-”
Suddenly, dozens of arrows of light appeared around Leon. The next moment, they flew toward him. He survived thanks to Mana Armor, but Leon lost half of his mana.

”You have a lot of mana for someone so young,” Adellum frowned.
”And you have a lot of nerve to attack me like-” Leon got interrupted by another wave of Arrows of Light. ”I see now... You are the type who liked to surprise opponents. I guess we are a bit similar... can't say I like you, though.”
”You are a weird mage, and since you can counter Appraisal,” Adellum said. ”This is the easiest way to deal with you.”
After repeating his attack one more time, but failing at causing any damage to Leon since he recovered his mana consuming the pieces of the colossal mithril helm, Adellum turned into a sphere of light and disappeared.
”The hell was that... did he give up?”
Something was off, Leon couldn't imagine the angels running away after the battle. Their goal was to use six planets to revive their god since Leon slowed down their plans; they wanted to kill him. However, Leon understood what Adellum was planning when he saw that the Ivolaer's armor had disappeared.
”Shit... I forgot they could use mithril to restore their mana too...”
Since Adellum observed Leon's fight, he more or less knew how much mana Leon had. Even if he couldn't use Appraisal, he could estimate his strength by observing him fight. Suddenly, several Arrows of light appeared nearby Leon again. However, he couldn't see Adellum anywhere...
”That guy... how can he aim with such precision when he clearly isn't nearby?”
Despite having a hammer as a weapon and also a body of someone who used to fight up close, Adellum was a pretty good ranged fighter. That was bad. Ivolaer's armor was much heavier and had a lot of mithril. If both of them rely solely on that to survive, Leon was bound to lose the battle of attrition. Mana Armor's level was obviously at least three times weaker than those Arrows of Light, after all.
