Chapter 16: Invincible
[Skill [Warrior's Rage] was acquired.]
[The ability to convert 100 of the damage that the user took and dealt to improve the user's physical capabilities, regardless of whether the damage done or received were magic or physical damage. The effect will gradually disappear after an hour of being away from the battle.]
The roars of the people around us thundered throughout the area with some jumping in excitement.
"Be prepared, it will be a great battle," Leo said as he raised his hands sideways, a powerful gust of wind built up around his arms causing an apparent disruption all over him. "This is how I use my Wind magic."
Yeah, it would be very painful to get hit with that thing.
He bent his knees and without a delay, jumped towards me while generating a strong gushing sound.
Due to the activation of his skill, his movement became far faster than before.
Does that mean that all the damage he took earlier even before activating his skill is still counted for his power-up?
I shifted my gaze at him while he's surging towards me.
There's only one way to prove it.
"Warrior's rage."
His eyes instantly widened the moment he heard what I just said.
At the same time, I felt the instant surge of power spreading out throughout my body and greatly boosted my reaction time that I easily evaded the incoming devastating attack.
"You gotta be kidding me!" Leo shouted as he passed through me as I avoided his attack.
The surroundings didn't become slow, it was still as fast as always, I just became ridiculously fast!
He's still faster than me but the shock of seeing that his skill was being used by someone greatly stunned him.
I activated my Electricity magic and covered my hand with it and punched his face using the strength of his own skill.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)
It's a full-force punch coated with Electricity magic but it's just enough to make him fly out a few meters away but not take him down.
I immediately received the physical boost due to the attack and felt my rising strength as my body became much lighter, but I know I'm not the only one who received this power-up.
Leo removed his hand on his bleeding nose and looked at me with his menacing eyes while grinning. "So that's your ability. You've got me very surprised there."
Unlike me who's definitely doing a 'this is a nightmare' face right now, Leo was smiling while looking at me with enthusiasm.
"Casimir, after this, do you want to work for me? You will be a great addition to my faction."
I toughen my knees to properly stand up. Yes, my body became much stronger as the battle went on, but the fatigue that my body received remained and that's what made it fall apart.
Ironically, our invincible body is already on its limit due to the destructive damage we just received that we can no longer contain.
I raised my shivering arms. "What a coincidence, I'm thinking of asking you the same after beating you."
He laughed. "Really?" He raised his arms, and just like me, his knees were already shivering as well. "I'll take that into consideration."
"Looks like this is the end." I activated my Electricity magic and covered my hands with them at the same time covering the area around us in ice.
He smiled. "It's not, this is just the great beginning."
For the last time, he rushed towards me and brushed off all the ice spikes rushing towards him, as expected from his current strength.
Physical capabilities-wise, I don't think I can win against him, however, the good thing is, I am a mage.
At once, I melted all the ice around us and immediately imprisoned him while at the same time, charging my Electricity magic.
He already knew that I would do it again, but despite his great strength, he's already too tired to escape from it.
I know, because I too am already exhausted to take a single step. The fact that he can still run is apparent proof that he's far stronger than me, physical capability-wise.
With my last strength, I unleashed my Electricity magic and blasted it towards the massive water ball. The roaring thunder strike delivered my final assault.
The entire place was shrouded in silence and everyone just stared at me while waiting for the result of my attack.
I couldn't help but exhale the moment I saw Leo lying on the ground, unconscious.
Then the screams of the spectators roar upon seeing him.
"It seems like... I won-"
The next thing I felt was my body falling to the ground due to extreme exhaustion.
I'll take a little nap for a while.
