Insurmountable Height

"Haa… haa…"

Ivan took ragged breaths.

"Haa… Huff… huff…"

His breathing was uneven, matching the dishevelled state he was currently in.

He was running low on Mana, so he avoided wasting it on healing himself unnecessarily. If it wasn't fatal, he could bear it.

It had only been a couple of minutes, ten minutes tops, since he had started his battle with this beast, yet he was already in such a sorry state.

Unlike him, the massive Demon seemed to be eager for a fight. It kept healing despite the injuries Ivan inflicted on it. The young man was never able to deal any decisive hit.

'The moment I try to, it uses that negative energy burst of his and pushes me away.'

That was why Ivan was stuck!

'Shit…'

He had expended too much Mana, and he couldn't maintain Bond Magic for very long too.

At this point, the excitement of the young man had faded away and he was beginning to wonder about reinforcements.

However, he knew the problem with that.

Preparation!
