Before Leon could allocate those sweet status points, Crik charged again, and this time he looked even more excited. He was a battle maniac through and through... for a moment, Leon thought that his attacks even became powerful again, but even though he got sent backward dozens of meters, he noticed that this time, his mana only decreased by half.
”All right, the plan is working... I just have to endure this for a while longer.”
At first, Leon felt quite bothered by the fact that he had to rely on mithril and weapons again, even though it was clear that he was facing the most powerful member of an advanced species. However, such thoughts disappeared when he noticed that Crik was also using mithril to have some advantages.
Regardless, Leon couldn't relax and stop attacking because his own stock of mithril was ending. Little by little, his weapons were losing their edge, and he already had consumed three helmets, Leon still had seven more, but he wanted to keep at least one because those were cool and useful.
However, it looked like Crik finally noticed that he wouldn't win if he doesn't use his head a little. Since he was fighting for his people, it was only obvious that he had to win. Suddenly, Crik stopped his charged and prepared to grab Leon's mithril weapons. Leon noticed that, but Crik still managed to catch all the spears, even though Leon tried to make them retreat. After succeeding in decreasing Leon's weapons by half, Crik suddenly jumped toward the sky with all his power. Much faster than a rocket, he left the atmosphere.
”Son of a bitch... he wants to get rid of my supply of mithril, he is using my own strategy against me! What a coward...”
”Says the man who is safely inside an unbreakable defensive spell,” Celsius said.
Leon knew he was unreasonable, but he expected full support from his spirits regardless of his choices or words. Putting such thoughts aside, Leon couldn't let something like that happen again. He would have to deal with Crik using magic alone again. Although it was troublesome to lose some mithril, Leon knew a way to compensate for the loss. Besides, he was pretty sure Crik wouldn't use the mithril to recover his energy, he just left the planet to throw Leon's spears away. He confirmed that because Crik returned after twenty seconds.
