Crik had used all the muscles of his body to free himself. Unfortunately, he couldn't move as much as he wanted after such effort, even though his health, mana, and stamina were still full. He moved his arms to block the magic projectile, but that hadn't been a good idea. Smoke started to be emitted by his body, and that was the sign that the plasma was consuming something... unfortunately, soon the smoke disappeared. Crik's mithril body was much more durable than Leon had imagined.

”Shit... it looks like even I drown the bastard into a pool of plasma, he can endure it for a few minutes. The heck is wrong with his body?”

”It looks like most of his body is made of mithril,” Celsius said.

”Isn't that obvious?”

”I am saying that his body is actually made of mithril, it isn't just a layer of protection that the others used,” Celsius added. ”Since most of his skin and several organs are made of mithril, his new body can emulate his endurance added with the sturdiness of the mithril.”

It was a bit complicated, but Leon understood Celsius' words eventually. It meant that mithril isn't just an armor. Crik's body was an armor. By turning his body like that, Crik became something like four times sturdier, unlike the ordinary soldiers that became only two times.

”That is very convenient.”

”Don't be jealous,” Undine said. ”He obtained a great deal of power after sacrificing his body, but he also sacrificed is growth. Although mithril is sturdy, he can't make even sturdier just by applying more mana. So, even if he increases his endurance, his body won't become more resilient.”

”That explains why his health and mana are stranger more impressive than his other status.”

Before Leon could continue that conversation, Crik recovered from the small damage he received and smirked and then charged toward Leon. It has been a long time since he fought a formidable opponent like that, but it was annoying because that opponent enjoyed fights a little too much.

”It is time to change my plans a little bit...”

Leon had a lot of mithril to use and recover his mana, but it looked like that battle would last for quite a while, even considering that. So, he decided to use the few weapons he created using his prisoners' mana. Leon deactivated Mana Barrier for a second, and then he attacked Crik with several swords and spears.
