Darya couldn't help, but what in shock at the scene in front of her, two crazy men, were bleeding through their fists and didn't even flinch while using the same fists over and over again to hit each other's fists. What was even more shocking was the fact that one of the crazy men, was her grandfather—a man who only showed her smiles over the course of the last four months.

"Grandfather…" Darya murmured while she felt shivers.

Although Darya had never seen her grandfather fighting in those four months, everyone treated him as if he was by the most powerful person in the world. While everyone decided to use mana to attack from a safe distance, he decided to use mana to attack from a close distance. That alone made him become respected by many, and the fact that he repelled alone the attack of a harvester almost automatically turned him into their leader. However, that person was now fighting while his face was pale due to the pain, and the cause of that was a single invader who was supposed to be a magician but was fighting with his fists. Meanwhile, the invader was looking at her grandfather as if he was bored… that situation has been like that for the last five hours.

"I can use Heal in you if you want," Leon said. "I didn't have time to teach that skill to Darya. She only learned Regeneration because 'it was a pain to stop attacking monsters to use a healing spell.' Well, that was what she said…"

"Shut up…" Donan murmured in pain.

"The level of Regeneration is also low since she barely received any scratches," Leon explained. "Adding that to the fact I'm using bracers made of mithril and you are bare-handed, this result isn't that unexpected."

"Shut up!" Doan shouted.

After several hours of fighting, it looked like Donan finally reached the peak of his strength. Every single of his punches were powerful enough to break the bones of Leon's hands, even though the mithril bracers were protecting them, and those didn't suffer a single scratch…

For some reason, even though the people of Miebos could learn things like Geomancy and Pyromancy without the help of spirits, they didn't learn how to heal wounds. Maybe it was because most of them were long-ranged fighters or perhaps because they relied too much on recovery… it was hard to be sure.

"I can feel already my body becoming lighter… even though I'm using mana to heal the wounds, it looks like I can't recover my blood with mana, only recovery can do that… to some extent."

Despite everything, Leon had the upper hand. His skills were growing stronger since the opponent was supposed to be stronger than him. Meanwhile, the same thing wasn't happening to Donan, since Leon was supposed to be weaker than him.

Regardless, even though the pain was decreasing, and Leon could shorten a lot the moments he could feel the pain, he was already tired of that. Donan was the leader of that world for many reasons, and his tenacity was one of them.

It was time to finish that battle, but it looked like Leon would have to face a few more problems before that. In the distance, Leon saw several figures approaching, they were faster than the regular guards, so it was evident that they were soldiers who came from the frontline. Some soldiers stopped to deal with commotion the warriors of the lower world were causing, but the majority came toward Leon. After creating massive lances made of fire, ice, and earth, they prepared to shot at Leon, but soon they stopped.

"STOP!" Donan shouted and made his subordinates tremble. "Don't interfere… this is my fight."

Leon frowned, it looked like Donan was also very prideful… it would be troublesome if he learns Lion's Pride in the middle of the battle, so Leon got a little agitated. Meanwhile, it looked like Dona calmed down… even though his status didn't decrease.

"…You have done enough, Darya," Donan said. "Thank you… but from here on out, I will fight alone."

Leon couldn't help but keep frowning since Donan just said what a shonen protagonist would say before the starts to fight seriously. That was obviously a bluff. There was no way Donan would hold back while his fists were being destroyed. At least that was Leon thought but soon changed his mind when a lot of mana started to concentrate around Donan. The air around him began to vibrate, and then, slowly but surely, Leon saw a shadow appearing around Donan.

"That certainly is the power he obtained from that shadowy figure…"

Leon begun to feel shivers while looking at Donan covered in shadows, and then he immediately felt that he was in danger when he saw the bloodshot eyes within that shadow. Without thinking twice, Leon activated Mana Armor. However, he still got hit by something he didn't even see when Donan disappeared… the next moment, Leon saw himself at the bottom of the lower world.
