Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

A few hours later, after the continuous attacks of Plasma bullets. Another massive convoy of flying vehicles returned to that planet, but before they could land, several of the vehicles got hit by something in midair. The pilots of those vehicles didn't notice the presence of anyone nearby, but they identified the things that hit them. They got hit by massive elemental spears.

"Bahahaha! Finally! Finally!" Efreet laughed maniacally. "It is showtime!"

"Less talking and more fighting," Celsius said, annoyed by the noisy Efreet was making.

Only Leon could see and talk with his spirits, so they were the perfect agents to attack a numerous army without exposing him. After the attack of Plasma Bullets, Leon finally noticed that the mithril people wouldn't give up on that planet so easily. So, he decided that it was time to get serious.

Since the spirits weren't holding back, they were leveling up at a scary pace. Still, the best thing they could do as of now was to damage the flying vehicles, which was fine, since Leon would be the one who would take of the soldiers on the land.

Although Leon didn't want to reveal himself because he looked ridiculous as of now, he had no choice but to. The worst thing he could do in case a soldier decided to explode was to hid underground where everything was dark, and he couldn't see very far ahead for obvious reasons.

When the first soldiers left their flying vehicles, they were welcomed by barrage Plasma Arrows. The first got annihilated without even noticing what hit them. The same thing happened to the second until the tenth group. Eventually, some soldiers finally noticed a weird figure inside a Mana Barrier and surrounded up to the neck with mithril. Some charged and tried to attack Leon, but he destroyed their heads using a barrage of Plasma Arrows.

"What a nasty way to kill someone... but it isn't like I have any other choice."

While Leon was capturing some soldiers to scare the army of half-mithril people, he noticed that a thin layer of mithril was protecting all of their bones that were inside their bodies. Externally, the mithril was thicker around the torso area, and the part where he could cause more damage was the head. Leon felt some resistance even there as if that thing layer was even more, sturdier than the helmets he got, but even so, there was a limit of how much damage that kind of defense could endure.

"Things could have been different if they had weapons, but I guess the mithril parts increase their physical strength to the point that can easily destroy even magical weapons just by holding them."

Leon confirmed that when a group of three soldiers got close enough and hit Leon's Mana Barrier, just three punches had been enough to decrease his mana by seventy percent, but Leon recovered that in just a few moments, he was surrounded by mithril inside that Mana Barrier for that reason.

The corpses around Leon were increasing by the minute, and the number of soldiers that were about to attack him was also increasing since his spirits worked fast in taking down the flying vehicles. Still, it looked like Leon wouldn't see any explosion. Most likely, if those guys could really explode, they were programmed not to do so when their allies nearby. Still, Leon couldn't help but wonder if someone in that spaceship could control the time of the explosions manually. Without knowing that, Leon couldn't relax even for a second.

"There is always a chance that they won't make the bodies explode since that will increase the mana of the planet and rebuilt it even using magic would be complicated... If if the people of Miebos understood that effect, a species that built a spaceship probably knows that too. Still..."

...

Much to Leon's surprise, the soldiers that were running toward him suddenly disappeared. The same happened to the flying vehicles that were about to fall and from the ones that were still flying and trying to understand how Leon could attack them from so many angles at the same time.

"What?" Efreet shouted, visibly annoyed. "Don't run away, cowards!"

"Something is off..." Undine said.

"Maybe they are tired of fighting and decided to return to play on their toy house," Gnome frowned.

"You guys have to return... Undine is right-..." Leon said.

Before Leon could finish his sentence, the bodies of the more one hundred soldiers he killed started to shine. Half a second later, they all exploded at the same time, and Leon was right in the middle of the circle of corpses, and the explosions blocked his field of vision...
