Several hours passed after the start of the battle. It looked like Netro expected to see Leon crumbling apart just by using spells to fight on equal terms, but that never happened. Thanks to that, Leon's replica had enough time to master several skills. It wasn't nearly enough to defeat Netro, but at least that forced the creature to give up on fighting using his bare hands.

”It is finally time… I just hope that I won't regret this later.”

Leon thought that while he was observing Netro, grabbing the spear on his back. Leon didn't even see what had happened… he had relaxed a little because Netro's spear was being pointed toward the ground. All that Leon felt was his body being split by something absurdly hot.

”What the…”

Before he could lose consciousness, Leon used Gravity and made his lower and upper body that had just been cut apart, stay connected. At the very same moment, he used Full-Recover, and the wound disappeared instantly. However, Leon still could sense the effects of having almost died. His body was cold… because his spirit had almost left his body.

Leon bit his lips and prepared to be attacked again, but he only saw Netro facing him as usual without expressing a single sentiment. It looks like that attack couldn't be used repeatedly. However, Leon was fully aware that his defensive spells couldn't protect him from that. Now that he thought about it, it was also weird that he reflects Armor could reflect a physical attack when Mana Armor never did… most likely, Netro didn't know that spell.

”Hey, Leon… you almost died there,” Efreet said, visibly worried. ”It is time to count on our help.”

”For a change, Efreet is right,” Celsius said. ”Why are we just watching this battle? Aren't we supposed to help at times like these?”
