Chapter 121

While Leon was busy blaming himself for Gisela's misfortune, William threw her away and jumped to attack Leon. At the same time, Leon felt his body moving toward him. That caught him by surprise, but using earth magic, he counter-attacked whatever was making his body move.

Leon put the fireball in front of himself, and the flames engulfed William. However, much to Leon's surprise, William crossed the flames almost unscathed and tried to grab Leon's neck... only to get hit by a massive block of earth that sent him flying to the streets of New York.

"... How can he endure the flames that can melt steel?"

Little by little, Leon's body started to feel heavy. Then he noticed, that was Alisson's works, she was pointing her black ring toward him. With his magic, once again, he endured those weird effects, but William returned. Leon didn't know how, but William managed to jump forty meters upward. The bastard tried to hit Leon, but he used the block of earth to stop him again. He avoided the direct hit, but not because Leon stopped William, but because William suddenly slowed down and changed the direction in midair... as if he was flying.

"What the... Ah... It is Alisson's work."

Leon immediately understood what those rings could do; one could emulate telekinesis, while the other could emulate gravity. Now that Leon cooled down his head, he noticed that the few wounds that William received from the fireball were long gone... the gloves had the power to heal him pretty fast, and he himself had some sort of skill that decreased magic damage.

"I see... William is the main attacker, Alisson gives him support with telekinesis and gravity. Meanwhile, Sanchez protects Alisson since she could help William and stop the enemies at the same time... a very interesting formation."

The chances of that shield having the power to endure Leon's magic attacks were rather high, so he wouldn't be able to overpower them. However, that much was fine since defeating them using brute strength alone could make him end up killing them. Makoto would be the one who would have the pleasure to do it.

Leon's fireball was useless, so he shot it toward the middle of the main building. Thanks to that, the building started to collapse, so Sanchez and Alisson jumped from the building toward the streets while William covered for them. They thought Leon wanted to distract them, but he used that opportunity to recover Sarah and Gisela. Using two earth platforms, he made them fly upward several meters where they wouldn't be attacked.

Leon could only control six objects at the same time, that also meant that he could only create six objects at the same time. Using two platforms to protect Sarah and Gisela, he could only attack with three projectiles since he was using one to fly. So, Leon decided to make good use of them. In no time, he created three steel spears and decided to attack their weak link... Alisson.

William was strong and resilient, but without the help of Alisson's skills, he was just a mad bull. So, Leon decided to get rid of her first. After creating three spears, William jumped to attack him once again. Leon fired the three spears, one toward William and the other two toward Alisson.

She made Leon's body get heavier again, and at the same time, she slowed down Leon's spears, giving Sanchez enough time to block both. Meanwhile, William tried to punch the spear who flew toward himself to the distance, but he failed. The weight and the momentum of spear stopped him even from reaching Leon... that being said, he slowly was being pushed down due to Alisson's gravity powers.

"Let's see what you can do against this."

Leon made two spears attack Sanchez and Alisson from the front and the back, William was still landing after his leap, so he could only observe. However, since William wasn't attacking, Alisson didn't feel the need to keep using gravity magic on Leon. So, he used both of her powers to slow down one spear and make the other fall with a thud. That surprised Leon; it looked like her powers suddenly got more efficient...

"... I see, the closer an object is to her, the more she can affect them with gravity and telekinesis."

Leon tried to use his third spear to attack her, but William was back and blocked the projectile. Leon clicked his tongue, conserving his mana wasn't an option. He had to keep Sarah and Gisela away from the battlefield, but they would die if he dies anyway. So, Leon had to be more assertive.

When William jumped to attack Leon one more time, he let him get as close as he could before he tried to intercept him. Instead of blocking his attack, Leon made his spear spin and attacked him by behind when William almost punched him. Leon's spinning spear could cut the dragon's flesh, yet only caused a minor would on William's back. That was troublesome, but it didn't matter, because William failed in causing damage since Leon flew to the side. Alisson was too busy keeping Leon's spears in check to help William, so Leon had a few seconds before he could be attacked again.

Leon fired an Ice Pillar, and the thunderous sound of the impact caused by Sanchez shield when it blocked the attack made that part of the city tremble. Little by little, the Ice Pillar got absorbed by the shield, and now Leon knew what that thing could do. However, that was just a diversion, Leon shot several Ice Arrows toward Alisson's head since the Ice Pillar blocked their field of vision. The attacks landed and pierced her skin, but not as much as Leon had planned. For some reason, Sanchez also received some wounds on his face... that was their plan B in case something unexpected like that happens.

"How troublesome..."
