As it turns out, when fighting a mage, you never want to follow your script.

Lucina, who flashed over, had a good idea - to stop Leo in the basement and prevent him from going out to cause innocent casualties.

But the truth is that Leo turned around and swung his staff with amazing force to knock Janus, who had just gotten up and was about to grab his neck behind his back, out of the basement, and released a burst of arcane waves, so shocking that York could only raise his shield to protect himself and the owner behind him.

Although she knew that Leo was a battle mage, Lucina was still uncontrollable in shock after witnessing how Janus, who was hurriedly supported by the guards, was knocked away by the metal staff.

Because he didn't want to kill him by mistake, York, who had just stood still to defend against the strong fluctuations, had to raise his shield and charge, trying to knock Leo to the ground. The guards, who noticed that the situation was different, also rushed down the steps together under the captain's painful request to be captured.

But at this moment, Leo first jerked his staff to prevent York from slamming directly into him, and immediately smashed the staff downward, releasing a wall of green light in front of him and behind him without looking back—the one behind him, pushing all the guards backwards one by one, until he pushed out the exit and slammed them into the wall like pies—several of them fainted directly.

The one in front of him pushed York backwards by just one step before the Iron Knight held steady and finally smashed the wall of light with a single shield. But at this juncture, Leo had flashed backwards to the basement exit and smashed a guard into a delirium with a staff.

"Hey, York, stop the old man!" Lucina saw that the situation was not good, and eagerly gave the order magic. York, who chased him out of the door, immediately executed, and after a short charge, he swung his long sword and threw out a translucent white stagnant sword wave, trying to stop it.

However, this was also blocked by Leo's shield, allowing the sword wave to dissipate the moment it touched the transparent shield. It was evident that he was very annoyed with York's relentless pursuit, so after using his staff to slash through two more approaching guards, he fired a construct disintegration ray with many blue particles at York, who was smashing at the shield—a very deadly attack for an enemy like York, whose soul was attached to his armor and was essentially a construct.

Although he is a disembodied demon who can repair broken parts and be reborn with Lucina's mana, it consumes a lot of mana from the summoner. And once there is too much damage, it is impossible for York to get back on his feet and return to the battlefield for a period of time.

Thankfully, York wasn't hit.

Almost at the same time as Leo attacked, he raised his shield against the rays. However, the price of defense is naturally to delay the pursuit. Although Lucina, who was glowing with ice in the palm of her left hand, flashed in time and used the Death Frost Grip towards Leo, the old man flashed sideways and smashed Aya to the ground with a staff - this Death Frost Grip, but Lucina's innate magic is also one of the strongest kills.

She could control the power of this move with ease, but no matter what, if she hit it just now, the battle was over.

The moment Lucina's palm gripped Leo's body, the moment Death Frost froze the blood vessels and mana webs all over his body—as well as his brain—and shook him flying in the ice blast, even freezing his whole body and shattering it.

But the problem is that many times it misses. In addition, in order to inflict a one-hit kill effect, it is necessary to charge energy for a longer period of time.

At this time, Lucina, who was carrying a staff on her back, was whimpering on the ground, protected by York. The five-fold pain came violently, but it went quickly. All Aya was good at enduring labor pains, even Lucina, who was afraid of pain, was no exception in such a pinch—she quickly rolled backwards on the spot and got back to her feet.

Originally, it was to prevent the black ball from breaking away from Leo at a critical moment and parasitic on her own demon, but Lucina can't care so much now. She made up her mind to summon all the demons into the hall, and after giving instructions to Guladan in pain, she was able to make the stone demons slam the ground with a punch, releasing an arctic stone wall for the guards to block the fan-shaped scattered laser released by Leo in a thrilling way.

This is too embarrassing! From the very beginning of this battle, Lucina felt very uncomfortable: she was always afraid of hurting this dead old man, and she couldn't do it no matter what! And she was like this, and she had to worry that the others would be too ruthless!

...... No matter how ruthless you are, it won't necessarily work for Leo.

If it weren't for Leo who was currently fighting her, Lucina wouldn't be so timid - considering the Shadow Ball's possession ability, she decided that she couldn't let Leo escape!

To do this, she uses the Devourer of the Black Sky to trap Leo in her own alien dimension. Once inside the Eater of the Sky barrier, you can unleash a special field attack to help contain Leo.

But...... If you want enchantments to last longer, you can't use more field attacks. It takes a lot of magic to find a balance between what you use and what you don't use.

But it seems that there is no room for hesitation. Now was the perfect time - Leo tried to rush out the door, but was blocked by the enlarged Guladan to make sure he didn't just flash and flee. Nasatya and Rafipol are following Lucina's orders and using non-lethal interference magic to deal with Leo.

Without hesitation, Lucina, who didn't have time to think about whether the timing was right, summoned the dark purple plastic sword "Black Sky Devourer", and shook it at Leo steadily—this blocked the surrounding light, and everything immediately darkened.

Everyone was plunged into darkness, as if their eyes had suddenly gone blind. But after all, it's not really blindness, it's just that no light is reflected into the eye and can't be imaged. But this still made many guards cry out in panic, and they were even burned by the torches in their hands that were not extinguished.

Luckily, I didn't knock the candlestick over. Otherwise, Nasatya will need to release water to extinguish the fire.

Such a panic is completely understandable.

After all, one second you can see things clearly, and the next second you can't see anything around you - this is not the same as the dark night when you can't see your fingers, there is really no light that will enter the eyes, and it is all intercepted by the light-absorbing effect when the Black Sky Devouring is activated.

Soon, everyone in the panic was able to see clearly through the faint moonlight and the warm glow of candles and torches—and in their eyes, the place where Leo and Lucina were standing was enveloped in a huge black ball.
