The very moment Leon saw Donan tensing his muscles, he used Gravity on himself and on Darya to decrease their weights. After that, he used Telekinesis to move his body backward while he also made Darya move to her right side, where a few hundred meters ahead, she would find a checkpoint.

Still, Leon focused too much on sending Darya to the exact location where the checkpoint was, and due to that, he didn't move all that much in that fraction of a second. The next moment, Donan punched his face, but Mana Armor stopped it. Despite that, Leon was thrown backward much faster than he could fly. His body hit numerous piles of rubble without losing speed, even though those piles of debris were mostly made of distorted steel.

Leon didn't even understand what had happened or for how long he flew. When he recovered his consciousness, he was feeling like crap. It had been a while, but he felt the same way when he woke up on the island… that single punch had been stronger than the railgun. Somehow, Leon didn't lose all his mana blocking partially that attack. Maybe because it was because of the improved mithril ring of the liches, but it didn't matter. His mana was recovering with every second. However, before Leon could get up or heal himself, something grabbed his neck, it was Donan.

"Mana Reinforcement and Rage…" Leon murmured while looking at Donan in the eye.

"So, you noticed… I imagine you used that combination at least once," Donan smiled. "However, there are a few more secrets behind my strength."

" I know," Leon grabbed Donan's arms and started to use Mana-Eater while smiling. "You received some presents from that shadow… dog."

The very moment Leon said that several veins popped out in Donan's forehead, he was truly furious, and he couldn't recall if Rage could change his appearance that much. Aside from the veins, even his body turned red and also emitted a reddish aura… That was bad. Mana Armor wasn't enough, so Leon used Regeneration and Stone Skin, one of the new skills that he barely had time to level up.

...

Stone Skin decreased Leon's pain a little, but soon he lost its effects since his mana became zero. Thanks to his ring, Leon soon recovered control over his body… well, almost. He could only control his head, but that was more than enough. Leon couldn't let himself be caught again. He wouldn't survive the third punch. The only thing he could do was hide.

Using Earth Manipulation added with the power of Geomancy, Leon created several underground paths. He didn't have much mana. He just needed to buy a few seconds. Besides, he didn't use any of those paths. Leon just hid in a hole and destroyed any signs of his movements. Unfortunately, he had to cancel Regeneration in order to use Mana Concealment. He was having a hard time breathing and even holding back his moans of pain.

"Shit… to think that this bastard would be a magic warrior… did he fought against a harvester using punches and kicks alone?"

For several seconds, the area around Leon trembled. But fortunately, there was no sign of Donan getting close. He probably was destroying every underground path Leon created, hoping to bury him alive… Still, that had been a risky plan. If Donan had at least one tracking skill at a decent level, he would have found Leon, since he didn't have time to practice that skill a lot. In any case, before Leon could run out of air or mana, the tremors stopped. However, Leon waited for a few seconds before he could use his mana to create an underground path that could take him out of that area. Still, Leon moved slowly and used small quantities of mana at a time. Only after he was deeper underground, he felt safe to use Full-Recover and eat blue angel leaves.

"… I hope Darya managed to escape. The soldiers didn't have Telekinesis… but perhaps they had, and Appraisal didn't reveal since its level is still low."

Leon was completely lost. However, he still could feel the mana of his checkpoints. Using that alone, Leon managed to find his way back to his base… Although he had to travel for one week and using an underground path. However, much to his surprise, Darya wasn't there, and there were no signs of her arrival.

"This is bad… this is truly bad…"

Despite that, Leon managed to calm down. Perhaps, Darya chose another route, or maybe she was hidden because some soldiers managed to follow her. She could fly at one hundred and fifty meters per second if she combines Fly and Gravity, so there was no reason to worry. Besides, her checkpoints could let her travel instantly between points thirty kilometers away from each other… Leon just had to wait. Leon waited and waited… but after one month, he finally understood that Donan captured her.
