Silika surrounded herself with Spirit Aura as well. When the two girls who were watching at the side saw the strange aura surrounding Silika and Leo they were amazed. At first glance the aura felt like mana, but it was obviously something else.
Leo who saw Silika surround herself with Spirit Aura felt his whole body getting hotter as his excitement was reaching new peaks.
'A battle were the body I'm using is weak, the weapons at hand are cr*ppy, and my opponent is Eli. Though the current Eli is far from her peak, she still has that scythe and she's actually using a body she's comfortable with. This is going to be so fun!'
Silika was watching Leo who still seems to be in a carefree state, he wasn't even in a stance. Seeing how relax Leo was made Silika feel nostalgic.
'They really are the same... That confidence, that no matter what happens victory is all but certain. That's what I feel when I look at him. Ren really is like Leo...' When Silika started to feel even more nostalgic, Ren's voice woke her up.
"Are you coming or do you want me to start?" After saying that Leo started to casually walk forward. He had the two swords he was holding point their blades downward. When Silika saw this, she knew what was coming. That stance was the stance her beloved Leo usually used when he got serious. The next thing he would do was most probably use that technique.
'Fangs of the wolf. Has master learned Leo's favorite technique?'
Silika didn't plan on waiting to get hit by that move, so she charged forward initiating her own attack. The two girls who were watching at the side were amazed at what happened next. Lara saw Silika pass by Ren, and the moment Silika passed by Ren, Ren's hands suddenly turned blurry. After that, the two girls heard numerous sounds of clashing blades. That all happened within the span of a second.
After Silika and Ren pass by each other, Lara and Hilda saw that Silika's veil was cut and from there the face of a beautiful woman appeared. Crimson pupils and pale white skin, her face look liked it was personally sculpted by the Gods themselves. Silika's beauty was so breathtaking that Hilda and Lara couldn't help but stare. While the two were staring at Silika, Ren or currently Leo had the joints in his left arm dislocated.
After the two girls were finished admiring Silika's beauty they noticed the damage Ren received. In their minds Silika was the winner of that exchange, but in truth it was Leo.
'Tsk, this body is far too weak, it couldn't even handle the basic attack form of fangs of the wolf.' Leo was a bit irritated at first, but then he resumed showing his vicious smile. 'Well this kind of handicap is alright, I just need to learn the limitations of this body a bit more.'
While Leo was assessing his current condition, Silika was also doing the same. 'I wasn't able to block everything... Still that was amazing. Ren was almost able to do a perfect fangs of the wolf. As expected, the talent of these incarnations of Leo are beyond understanding.'
Leo forcefully fixed the dislocation of his joints. He then decided to move in a less taxing way. Silika who was about to attack again felt something hit her. She then noticed that she was tossed up into the air. Leo was able to toss her without her noticing.
While in mid-air Silika saw that Leo was about to give her the finishing blow, but before he could do so Silika used magic.
"Ice coffin" Leo was then encased in a block of ice, but that didn't last long as the mana Silika used wasn't appropriate to maintain the spell. Still it was enough to buy her time to land safely. Leo who got out of his encasement in ice looked at Silika with a jovial expression.
"I hope you don't say I was cheating master. You never said we can't use magic." Silika spoke to Leo trying to buy some time, to regain a bit of mana. The spell she used wasn't something she could casually toss around, since her current mana capacity wasn't even at a tenth of what she used to have.
"Of course you can use whatever you want. Use everything in your disposal, be it magic, or your race specific skill, use them all and make this battle even more exciting! Then I will show you that even after you use everything you got, victory shall always be mine!"
When Silika heard what her master said, she was amazed. The words he casually said and that foolish smile on his face that was filled with confidence, were almost the exact same line Leo usually said to his opponent when he was at the peak of his excitement. Everything was the same, which shook Silika's heart.
"Very well master! I shall show you everything the current me has got to give!" Silika then started to gather as much mana as she could. Hundreds of magic circles appeared in the air surrounding Leo.
"Master take this! Icicle rain!" Once Silika's spell activated, numerous icicle spears appeared from the magic circles surrounding Leo. One after another an icicle spear came out of the magic circles and were trying to pierce Leo. In response to this, Leo did nothing but slice through the icicles. He made use of this spell to get use to his current body. Slowly but surely the way he handled Ren's body became more efficient.
Silika who was running out of mana could no longer maintain the spell, and the moment the spell stopped, she heard Ren's voice whispering in her ear.
"That was pretty good Eli." When Silika heard this, she was shocked and wanted to say something, but then her consciousness faded. She had used too much mana, and she could no longer maintain her humanoid form. Her spirit quickly retreated back into the Ren's tattoo to recuperate.
Leo who saw Silika disappear into his tattoo smiled. He couldn't help but find Silika's shocked expression as he called her name kinda funny.
