It was quite awkward facing Leon once again.
"So... Why are you here again?" [Solace]
"The reward is a special herb Master wants." [Leon]
"Jukhan?" [Solace]
Leon nodded.
("This guys just LOVES getting in my way.") [Solace]
It really had to be the herb I needed to help Fina get her mana back.
"What does Jukhan even need it for?" [Solace]
Leon then began to salivate.
"Seasoning." [Leon]
"Ain't no way." [Solace]
Leon was present when Master told about the flower to cure Fina, but I guess she really doesn't care.
"Okay, fight now." [Leon]
"Huh?" [Solace]
With a flick of the wrist, a dagger flew at .
"Really?!" [Solace]
I tilted my head and evaded it. It wasn't very difficult to do since it's not the first ti she's done this.
("At least I know I can beat her.") [Solace]
Leon proceeded to throw a few more knives before closing the gap between us. Of course, I easily dealt with the projectiles via dodging or deflecting.
"|Lightweight|." [Leon]
She suddenly sped up. So much so I couldn't react to her placing a hand onto my chest.
"|Thundering Palm|" [Leon]
I felt a mix of force and electricity apply itself onto . Needless to say, it hurt.
"Urgh!" [Solace]
"Alert: |Shock Resistance| has activated." [Spirit Guide]
The force behind the blow pushed back, but Leon had other plans.
"|Flux|." [Leon]
With just an utterance of a word, I felt an invisible pull towards her.
"This is new!" [Solace]
As I started to float towards her, Leon took on this nacing martial arts stance.
("Oh, I definitely don't want to get hit by that.") [Solace]
"|Earthen Shield| |Reinforce|!" [Solace]
I summoned a rock wall between us and strengthened it.
"|Hardened Body Arts: Steady Mountain|." [Leon]
I heard a loud slam against my rock wall, followed by a fist and elbow sticking out of it.
"Yikes." [Solace]
("Good thing it wasn't .") [Solace]
I then witnessed the chunk of rock lift off the ground.
"Eh...?" [Solace]
Like Master, like disciple. Leon chucked it at .
"|Blazing Fist|!" [Solace]
Setting my hand ablaze, I blasted the rocky wall to bits.
("Can't believe I had to break my own wall. What a waste of mana.") [Solace]
I readied myself for Leon, but she was nowhere to be seen.
"|Imbue Alarm|." [Solace]
I wasn't going to make the sa mistake as with Raon.
("There!" [Solace]
I detected sothing behind . Which was weird, because the alarm rang again from above .
("Two?!") [Solace]
As I quickly tried to grasp the situation, two Leons appeared.
("Cloning?!") [Solace]
From pure reflex, I swung at one of her.
"Huh?" [Solace]
My hand phased through her until I ate a knuckle sandwich from the other Leon.
"Ack!" [Solace]
I spun my body to let the punch slide off my face.
"|Explosion Arts|!" [Solace]
As I carried montum into my punch, Leon kicked my funny bone.
"Ow?! The hell?!" [Solace]
I felt the energy leave my body as the pain took over.
"|Four Ard Enlightennt|." [Leon]
Just as the na described, she now had four arms. In which, she used all four arms to throw knives at .
"You know they don't work on !" [Solace]
I rushed in like, you know, an idiot. Turns out, these knives were different. They were cloaked in mana, capable of cutting like I was a normal person.
"Ouch?!" [Solace]
The knives dug deep. After realizing the knives could harm , I did my best to evade or deflect them.
("You're kidding!") [Solace]
I still was hit with around four to five knives. They were stuck into , which surprisingly didn't hurt as bad as I thought it would.
"You should forfeit." [Leon]
She wore her usual indifferent expression, which made feel like I was being looked down upon.
"Why's that?" [Solace]
Leon looked up and down.
"...You're injured." [Leon]
As I thought of a good coback, I smirked.
"And?" [Solace]
I then did what would be unthinkable back on Earth. Pulling out sharp objects and not waiting for help. One by one, I pulled out the knives.
"...What are you doing?" [Leon]
I didn't reply. Instead, I placed a hand over my wounds.
"|Small Cure|." [Solace]
One was enough to stop the bleeding.
"|Small Cure|." [Solace]
Two was enough to close the wound, although it still risked being reopened.
"|Small Cure|." [Solace]
Three finally managed to bring back to peak condition.
"Alright." [Solace]
I checked myself for any more wounds before wagging a finger at Leon.
"Run it back." [Solace]
