Leon Fights the Demon (3)

“I’m okay.” Anna waved her hand, “Let’s clean up and go to the martial arts field.”

“Okay!” Natalie responded quickly, but after organizing things for a while, she couldn’t help but ask, “Anna, did Mage Raymond really do it on purpose?”

Anna smiled: “I don’t know, it doesn’t matter.”

She suddenly rushed over and hugged Natalie: “Because you were protecting me at that time.”

Natalie blushed and stammered, “I-I didn’t do anything…”

“Your presence is the greatest protection for me.” Anna said with a smile, “Thank you, Natalie.”

Natalie never imagined that she would be of use like this. She was a burden at the line of life and death, and she had brooded about this.

“No matter what hardships Anna encounters in the future, I will always be by Anna’s side, I promise!” Natalie said solemnly. At the same time, she also swore to the goddess of light in her heart. Anna was her best friend, and she hoped to be by Anna’s side all the time!

“That won’t work, your future husband will be jealous.” Anna pinched Natalie’s cheek and said mischievously, “What if he wants to fight me?”

“No, no!” Natalie blushed. Holding her cheek that was pinched by Anna, she said quickly, “If my future husband can’t accept that I have a good friend like you, then I don’t want him!”

“Okay, then it’s settled.” Anna couldn’t help laughing, Natalie was so cute, “Let’s hurry up. We don’t want to miss the match between Raymond and Leon Mage; it’ll surely be a great fight between these two.”

When Anna and Natalie arrived at the martial arts arena, the battle between the two had not yet begun.

Moreover, because the two people only had half an hour from the time they decided to fight to the official start, public discourse was too late to ferment. Currently, only a few people who were originally on the field were watching.

Rothgarr and Leon stood on opposite sides of the martial arts field. No one said to begin. It was not until he saw Anna rushing over that Rothgarr straightened up and said, “Let’s begin.”

Leon nodded: “Okay.”

Almost as soon as Leon responded, Rothgarr made his move. The gold magic that Raymond was best at could be used in distant and close combat, but Rothgarr himself was best at close combat.

He was very fond of seeing the frightened faces of his enemies, which brought him one of the few pleasures.

But Leon had made preparations when he arrived on the stage. Rothgarr’s sudden move didn’t cause him to panic. He retreated to the side, and at the same time raised his hand. A curtain of water flowed from his hand, blocking Rothgarr’s sight.

Rothgarr stopped in his tracks to avoid running into the seemingly innocuous water curtain. Instead, he raised his right arm and held it in front of his chest. An arrow of light hidden behind the water curtain was blocked by the golden shield he formed on his arm.

Rothgarr grinned. This Leon wasn’t too rubbish, this fight might be a little more interesting than he thought.

When Rothgarr blocked the arrow of light, there were a few exclamations from the audience.

Anna said to Natalie in a low voice, “You see that? This is called ‘All’s fair in war.’”

Natalie nodded hurriedly: “Mage Leon and I are best at using the water element. I can learn to use this.”

“No matter what element you are best at using, the theory is the same.” Anna said, “You can combine the various elements you wield and use their intrinsic properties to form endless combinations in actual combat.”

Anna now recalled the words of the old mage who tested her elemental affinity when she first entered the Association, and thought, it was no wonder that he was only a two-star mage at such an old age.

Being greedy and biting off more than you could true was true sometimes, but people couldn’t be limited by words. She had not seen many actual battles, but they were all “high-end games”, so she was very aware of how important flexibility in changes in battle were.

In her personal opinion, the more affinity elements, the better, so that more spells could be fast. Moreover, the preparation of potions required different natural elements, and some potions could not be formulated without the affinity of certain elements.

But from what Anna had seen so far, the Mage Association nor the mages in it didn’t pay much attention to potions. They made potions according to their affinity elements, and almost no one dared to alter the old classic potions. Mages like Dawkins, who developed new potions themselves, were few among the few. After Dawkins developed the new potion, those in need of the potion would not find a way to figure out the formula of the potion by themselves, but would spend money to buy the finished product from Dawkins instead.

She surmised that it was also for this reason no one knew that by altering the second half of the configuration process of the “Spine of Mountains” potion, the effect of the potion could be changed.

Rothgarr and Leon had already had a few exchanges on stage while Anna and Natalie discussed and contemplated.

At first, they were both very restrained, which was a way to test the opponent’s ability and habits. This way, they could make targeted counterattacks in the later stage.

Leon saw that Rothgarr liked close combat, while the first priority on the battlefield was to not satisfy the enemy’s likes. He deliberately distanced himself, using various means to harass and block Rothgarr’s sight. Leon hid his true abilities, launching surprise attacks from time to time.

Leon had seen Raymond’s fights in the past, but he found that today’s Raymond was completely different from his previous impression of him. Today, Rothgarr had more diverse attack methods, extremely skilled fighting skills, and a sense of reckless madness.

He had been very cautious from the moment he stepped on the battlefield, and now he was more focused. Leon was very clear that Raymond was like a poisonous snake. If he was not careful, Rothgarr would find an opportunity to strike, and Leon would lose very quickly.

Compared with Leon’s cautiousness, Rothgarr was more reckless. He enjoyed the joy of putting pressure on people during battle. From time to time, he would look at Anna outside the arena.
