After seeing that message, Leroy came up with a plan.

"Hey, Horace! I think I know how to defeat that demon!"

"Are you sure?"

"Just put your trust in me!"

_______

"Fine, so, what is your plan?"

"Do you have physical arrows?"

"Yeah, I do."

"You'll have to wait until I tell you to attack it, so have it ready."

"Um okay."

"Right now attack it with a single magic arrow."

Horace suddenly stops and again summons his bow. He pulled the strings and, as before, a magic arrow appeared out of thin air. He released it right after he aimed it at the demon perfectly.

As soon as the arrow was released, Leroy changed his direction and rushed toward the demon. To match up with the speed, he used his skill <>.

<>

"Now I need to get to the same height as it is flying."

<>

Horace was surprised when he saw Leroy walking in the air.

"What!? Is that a skill that lets you walk in the air?!"

As soon as the arrow was about to hit the demon, it exploded before it could. Leroy gives a downward strike with full force with his sword, following the arrow. But his sword got pushed back right before it could touch the demon.

"What the heck is going on!?"

As if there was an invincible shield that was protecting the demon.

"Horace, release the arrow now!"

Horace instantly releases it, and the arrow goes straight through the right arm of the demon.

"GGGRROOH"

"That means that barrier is for magic attacks!"

<>

[Required information has been gathered]

[Doing calculation…]

[The barrier used by the demon is only meant to get protection from magic-attributed attacks]

[It can take one attack at a time]

[It takes 0.3 sec for it to redeploy]

[The time taken for the sword to reach the demon after the magical arrow hit the demon was 0.9 sec]

[You will need to decrease time by 0.7 sec to get a perfect hit opportunity]

"That is totally impossible to get with low agility stat!"

The Demon started to go into a rage.

The hands of the demon started to get covered in fire and took the shape of a huge claw.

Horace shouts out so that Leroy can hear him, "Leroy! Run away from it, it is using Fire Claws!"

But Leroy couldn't hear him properly, "Fire...what?"

Suddenly, he felt heat coming from the back, "Huh?" When he turned his back, he saw a huge flame replicating the shape of a claw coming right at him.

"Okay, feels like I am f*cked up!?"

Out of instinct, he injects almost all his mana into his sword to form the strongest shield that can be made, using its power to control the element water.

*Bam*

The demon's attack overpowered the shield, causing it to break and send Leroy flying into the ground under such intense pressure that the ground cracked where he fell.

*Cough* x3

"It feels like I broke my spine."

*Cough* x2"

Horace came rushing towards him and put up a barrier to keep Leroy safe for the time being.

"Dude, you fine?"

"Do I look so?"

He felt uneasy, "Um, never mind…I have this potion. "

"What is this?"

"A healing potion."

"I never saw these before in here"

"Well whatever, drink it."

Leroy chugs it down his throat and feels a warm energy flow inside of him, making him feel more at ease than before.

*Hah-*

"Damn, this feels damn good!"

"Enough comments, now think of something quickly. My barrier can hold it off for a few more minutes. "

"Let's go with a different strategy."

"What is it?"

"Just support me."

Right after he says that he rushes out of the barrier.

"Huh, wait, what?"

As soon as Leroy takes a step outside the barrier, the Demon comes charging from the sky with his Fiery Claws reaching out for him.

'Let's take the gamble'

'Mirror Attack!'

<>

Leroy noticed that his hand was starting to get wrapped around in the fire, which also replicated the shape of a claw.

'A copy skill?'

But something wasn't right.

'What the heck, why can't I control my body? It is moving on its own.'

It also copies the moves of the demon. The conclusion is that the skill copies not only the skill but the movement also, making an exact mirror image of the demon.

Since they both use the same moves, they directly collide with one another. However, Leroy was severely pushed back by the demon's greater destructive ability.

*cough* X2

"Shoot it with magic-imbued arrows!"

"Yes!"

As soon as he pulls the string, a magic circle appears beneath Horace.

"Ah, shit…"

*Boom!*

A sudden explosion happened, leaving Horace severely wounded all over his body.

"F*ck, No!"

Again a magic circle appeared, but this time it was under Leroy.

"Shit!"

Right after he sees that he makes a shield made out of water.

*Boom*

Due to the shield, he gets a huge knockback which made him go up in the air, but his legs were severely injured because the shield didn't cover it up.

The Demon uses that opportunity and does a direct bash right into him.

*URGH*

Leroy got slammed into the ground.

"Damn… this demon..."

Leroy saw that the demon was charging directly toward him with another skill, which was almost the same as the Fire Claw, but the color was slightly different this time.

'I can't let that hit me…'

'I don't know what this new skill of mine does, but let's just f*cking do it…'

"Mana Blast!"

<>

[Would you still like to use this skill?]

[There will be penalties]

"F*ck yes!! I don't give a damn shit, just do it!"

<>

Leroy raises his hand and then takes a precise shot.

"You f*cking demon! Your free trial is about to end here!"

The mana in his body as well as the mana in the surroundings began to be absorbed by a huge blue ball that materialized in his hands.

[Releasing Energy…]

*Swoosh*

Directly from his palm, a massive beam emerged. Leroy became blinded by it because it became so bright.

*Ka-Boom!*

'I can't even breathe properly…'

He started to lose consciousness, 'No, I can't faint here!'

Finally, he lost consciousness.
