Deep Darkness Barrier!
He raised his staff and cast the spell instantly, a dark barrier forming around his body as he dashed forward without hesitation, closing the distance between them in a single burst of speed.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The spider responded immediately, its legs striking toward him with full force, each hit landing against the barrier with explosive power as cracks began to spread across its surface almost instantly.
The first strike weakened it. The second nearly shattered it.
And by the third, the barrier broke completely.
Leon was left exposed. But he didn't stop. He didn't even try to defend.
Instead, a crimson aura erupted around him, gathering at the tip of his sword as he pushed forward with everything he had, his focus narrowing down to a single point.
"Krkrkrk!"
The spider reacted with equal intensity, swinging one of its legs with terrifying speed as it aimed directly for him.
This time, it hit.
