Luna was in the laboratory as usual, trying to create a new piece of equipnt. At that mont, she felt her entire body grow hot. She instinctively knew the reason for this was that Davi was calling upon her power.
She sighed, wondering if he was okay. Still, she closed her eyes and willingly granted him a part of her strength. If she could, she would give everything to him.
Far from that peaceful laboratory, it was this power that saved the boy's life as he was tossed back and forth in the arena.
Even with 20% of Luna's stats, it was obvious that the boy was far from being a match for Rowan, who easily dominated him. The most he could do was dodge a blow or two.
Rowan, on the other hand, grew frustrated by how long it was taking to defeat a talentless commoner. This man was annoyingly persistent and resilient. On top of that, he had imnse experience in real battles, making all his movents perfect and precise.
These factors combined kept him alive for a while, but it was clear that all he could do in this situation was endure a little longer. Furthermore, if things continued this way, his 10 minutes would soon run out.
"Stop, please!" Ember begged, unable to bear seeing her companion being beaten so badly. "Why are you doing this? Just give up, it's impossible!"
Davi ignored the girl's words, focusing solely on the battle and the enemy before him. Rowan, however, was not so focused and beca irritated by her interference.
"Shut up," he muttered, launching a burst of fire at his sister.
However, before the attack could hit the girl, Davi defended her using . Of course, his ability wasn't strong enough for this, so he had to withstand most of the impact with his own body.
His thermal resistance skill was rising at an impressive speed and had already reached level 15. That said, he was far from immune to those flas, and an intense pain coursed through his entire body.
It was obvious that he didn't need to do that, Ember would have survived, but he still did it. It was hard to explain why, David simply didn't want to see his companion get hurt like that anymore.
"If it's impossible, then I'll make it possible," he shouted, partly to the girl and partly to himself. "Because, in the end, this is the only way to achieve my dream," he roared gutturally.
Once again, the boy charged aggressively, getting as close as he could to Rowan. The mage was extrely powerful, but all of his attacks were more effective at a distance. And his despise for training in hand to hand combat, made this his weakness. That's why Davi needed to close in to level the playing field.
There was only one problem with this plan: getting closer also made him an easier target, and any small mistake could result in his death. The other issue was that, even if his movents were flawless and he dodged every attack, Rowan still had far superior stats compared to his own.
In other words, even though Davi was far more skilled in close combat, the sheer difference in power made victory impossible. As a result, even when he managed to get closer, the boy couldn't put any real pressure on his opponent.
But it wasn't as if his efforts were completely useless. Amidst it all, he continued diligently storing power in the golem's core. As long as he could hold out long enough, there was still a chance of victory.
However, those chances seed to dwindle by the second. Once again, Davi was struck by an attack, and more burns spread across his body. The excruciating pain made him scream, but he didn't even have ti to complain, he had to keep dodging.
Anyone watching could see the only possible outco was Davi's death. No matter how hard he tried, it was impossible. The difference in power was simply too great.
If only he had a little more power. Watching it all, Ember cursed her own cowardice. If Davi, with so little strength, could fight so valiantly, what excuse did she have to act so pathetically?
She punched the ground in frustration, her chest tightening. She wanted more than anything to help her companion, but she had already given up, and interfering in the fight now would an her disqualification.
Yet she couldn't bear to watch any longer when Davi was struck again. Her body moved on its own as she ran to his aid, tears streaming down her face as she saw his body covered in so many wounds
"Get out of my way, you failure," Rowan growled, truly enraged at that point. With every step he took, the ground beneath him turned to lava. In his hand, he concentrated an enormous amount of flas, ready to deliver the final blow.
If I don't do sothing, my brother is going to kill him. Ember thought as she stood up, determined to fight. But before she could take a single step forward, a hand on her shoulder stopped her. It was Davi's.
"You don't need to worry. I'm going to win, so don't throw everything away by getting disqualified." Despite everything, Davi's gaze was murderous, he was ready to do whatever it took to destroy his enemy.
Looking at him, Ember's heart filled with despair. She knew that if this continued, Davi would only get hurt even more. Was there no way she could help him? Was there nothing she could do...
Yes, there was.
It was so stupid, it couldn't possibly be true.
But it was.
Deep down, she had already noticed it: Davi's rising stats. It was probably that strange ability, . He really did have the [Harem King] class, as absurd as that sounded.
She didn't know if a coward like her was worthy of that man, but even so, she decided to do what she could. Ember pressed herself against Davi and kissed him passionately.
Rowan, witnessing the scene, stood frozen, unable to react. After all, what was happening was far beyond anything he could have imagined. What the hell was going on in this battlefield?
But it didn't matter if it was absurd or not, because Davi had just received 20% of Ember's power, along with one of her abilities. And for the next five minutes, the course of the battle would change significantly.
Activating the ability, Davi charged forward, determined to prove to the girl that it was possible for soone with inferior powers to defeat a superior opponent.
