Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path
341 Chapter 340

After repeating that process a few dozens of times in the last hour, everyone couldn't help but frown while looking at the messed up face that Malahk now had. Meanwhile, Leon was completely unscathed.

"Truly pathetic, Malahk," The angel who was wielding a hammer said. "How can you suffer so much damage from a creature that has been using mana just for a few years... you disgrace our race and god."

"Shut up, Zephon," Malahk said, annoyed.

Although Leon was interested in the angels' reaction, he got more than a little interested in their worlds... the angels had a god... it made sense, but why did they mention such a god now?

Regardless, it looked like Plasma had the power to slow down the healing effect of recovery and even of magic spells like Regeneration and Heal. Although Malahk could heal fast using both methods, he wasn't being healed fast enough. That being said, Leon couldn't celebrate, he used more than ten times his mana pool to cause wounds that were far from mortal. Killing Malahk wasn't impossible, but it would take longer.

"Well, I'm not in a hurry, and I don't want to make mistakes by getting ahead of myself either..."

Besides, he was leveling up his skills pretty fast... little by little Leon was getting stronger and also little by little, he was decreasing the danger for his life. Regardless, at that rate, it would take weeks before Leon could defeat Malahk following such careful actions. Although the harvesters were holding their own, it was clear that the angels were holding back and only conserving their strength while they wait for Malahk.

"Human... why did you ally yourself with those creatures?" Malahk asked.

"Buying time to recover yourself by talking?’ Leon frowned. "If you want to hear an answer, then answer me this first, why do the ordinary angels look so different from the six of you?"

"That? We are from different races..." Malahk answered. "Although we have the same origin, the six of us are pure-blooded angels. Our servants are beings who lost their wings, but we gave them back once they decided to work for us to resurrect our god."

"Resurrect a god?" Leon frowned. "So, the magic circle had been made to resurrect something... I guess it's my turn now. I'm working for them because they promised to help me. I was about to call off our deal, though. The moment you guys returned..."

"Is that so..." Malahk said. "I bet they promised you power. Perhaps they said that they would help you to obtain the power of the spirits. Well, they lied to you... they can't even get close to the place where the last remaining spirit of this solar system is. All because they killed the others."

"I figured as much," Leon shrugged. "Well, it doesn't really matter. I will go there alone."

"If you get out of our way, I will give you free access to the world where Volt is," Malahk said. "So, step aside, and you will obtain the power you wish for."

"This again, huh..." Leon sighed. "Come to my side, and I will give you power... blah, blah, blah. Your offer is interesting, but I don't have any reason to join your side when you guys treat your subordinates as inferior beings and call them servants. Besides, I'm pretty sure you guys just didn't add wings to them... You brainwashed them."

"They certainly act a bit violent and without regarding their well-being," Malahk said. "But that is only because they are eager to complete our mission... it is not your place to judge their actions and choices."

"I'm not judging them. I'm judging you," Leon declared. "You destroyed six worlds and exterminated the people who lived in those places. For what? To resurrect your god? Don't make me laugh, even if that being is important for your race, you can't decimate six planets and its inhabitants to bring him back to life... You and your friends are just a bunch of low-life mass-murderers."

Malahk swung his sword and shot an energy beam, but Leon blocked it using his shields. Although he was managing to prevent the attacks, Leon could see some cracks on the first shield... it was only a matter of time before he loses all of them.

Using the same tricks twice wouldn't work, so Leon decided to change tactics a little bit. After summoning both a lesser fire spirit and a lesser earth spirit, Leon gave them the order to attack. The projectiles were powerful, but Malahk easily dodge them and those he couldn't avoid, he quickly destroyed with a single of his sword. However, that gave Leon time to fire Spinning Earth Arrows several times, while he used Mana-Eater to consume the pieces of his mithril shield that were falling off.

Despite all that, Malahk wasn't suffering any injuries or being pushed back. So, he used that chance to recover himself as much as possible... he was liking seeing Leon spending his mana like that. However, he didn't notice that thanks to gravity, small grains of earth were getting stuck on his body, clothes, and even on his sword. Leon was having a hard time keeping himself from smirking while looking at that.

After a while, Malahk's body was yellow-brown thanks to the grains of earth... they became a single object, a thin layer of dirt and Leon could control that. The very moment Leon tried to move Malahk's arm, he opened his widely in shock.

"Sorry, but I'm going to borrow your sword," Leon declared.
