Leon was wondering what the hell the mithril people were plotting. After the corpses of a little more than one hundred of their soldiers exploded, a full day passed, and he didn't see any sign of them leaving the spaceship.

"Although I hate to keep waiting, that only means I will have the chance to find a lot more blue angel plants."

It was a bit surprising, but the number of plants Leon could find underground was insane, but considering several things that Leon knew, it wasn't a good idea to think as those plants worked like the ordinary plants of Earth. In just a single day, Leon had found five hundred of them. At that pace, soon he would have a decent stock and the chance to crease massive reservoirs of mana liquid.

Suddenly, when Leon was about to grab the 505th plant, the entire world trembled. Leon's tunnel started to collapse, but he avoided being buried alive thanks to Geomancy and Earth Manipulation. Leon was five hundred meters deep underground, so only something pretty massive would have caused such an impact.

"A meteor? Or it was another magic attack?"

Either way, it didn't matter. Leon had to check with his own eyes, and in fact, he was bored out of his mind, even though he was doing something that would help him solve that problem faster than usual. Leon expanded the range of Mana Dominion to the maximum he could do using mana, and he felt a single living presence. It was very similar to one of the soldiers... but that one seemed denser and more menacing.

"... It looks like they sent their trump card. That works for me."

"It looks like someone is getting ahead of themselves," Undine said.

"Hahaha! It is time for battle!" Efreet laughed maniacally, as usual. "Summon me, and you will be able to kick the ass of whoever appeared."

Before anything, Leon prepared himself using Mana Barrier and collecting his mithril. While he was doing that, he noticed that his new target just caused the impact equivalent of a meteor when they hit the land. Even if the mithril people were a bit heavier than humans, there was no way just falling from the skies would have caused so much noise.

When Leon left his new and half-made underground route, he finally understood how that happened. Before he could see or hear anything, he got sent flying backward. Something very powerful had hit him, to the point where seventy percent of his mana had been drained to nullify the damage.

"What the..."

Before Leon could recover or even stop flying, he felt something approaching. Immediately, he used Mana-Eater to recover his mana, but it looked like things wouldn't be so easy. Leon still had a lot of mithril, but the interior of the Mana Barrier was so large that he wasn't touching any of it at that moment. Leon focused his eyes for a second and used Transfer, and then he appeared five hundred meters above that place. After doing that, Leon finally saw the figure who attacked him, a muscular and baldly man. His body was all light blue, and Leon couldn't help but think that he was a real android.

"What the heck... that guy..."

Crik was looking around for Leon. He eventually found it when he looked upward, and his body blurred. Still, this time Leon had time to grab some mithril shackles he made previous and absorb them. He got sent flying again, at least he didn't receive a direct hit and also obtained some status points.

"I can't believe you are doing this again..." Celsius said, and Leon imagined her facepalming.

"I guess Leon likes to play with his opponents more than Efreet," Gnome said.

While Leon was spinning in midair and trying to correct his posture, his spirits were saying whatever they wanted. Although that was another good opportunity to train Mana Barrier, that wasn't Leon's sole goal. He wanted to see what Crik could do before he decides to attack, but that was kind of hard because his enemy didn't let him rest even for a second. At least every two seconds, Crik punched Leon's Mana Barrier as if he was playing volleyball and his sole goal was to make the ball (Leon) fly even higher.

"Bastard... he wants to kill me in outer space. With his body, it won't be weird if he can survive there."

Leon concentrated again, and when his eyes focused, he used Transfer and appeared right back on the ground. All thanks to Sharp Eyes, he could move from ten kilometers of height toward the land just like that. However, Leon thought that would give him a few dozen seconds to breathe, but Crik appeared three seconds later.
