KINETIC

With their attacks doing little to no damage, Leo was thinking hard trying to figure out how to kill the monster.

'This thing has the body of a wolf, the legs of a bear and the head of a ram. The wolf part of it is responsible for its speed and the bear it's strength. So what does the ram provide?' Leo was thinking as quickly as he could to find a solution.

The monster darted towards Leo and slammed him in the chest with its head before he could react.

[Redirect activated]

This was all Leo had time to do before he was hit. The force was slightly negated as the head slammed into Leo's chest and a ripple of force could be seen bursting out from Leo's back.

Leo was sent flying back and into the air by the impact. Nila had a clear look of confusion on her face 'That attack looked weaker than the one that hit Cain earlier, but that force that come out behind Leofalor is different. Did it use some kind of special attack?'

When Leo was hit a notification appeared in his sight.

(Energy 5/30)

'I lost that much energy from taking a single hit?' Leo was astounded at how powerful the attack must have been if he had lost most of his energy even after he used redirect.

While in the air after being hit by the attack, Leo began to absorb the energy from his movement, allowing him to slow down and start descending in an arc towards the ground.

He still landed quite roughly but it was significantly less than before. When Leo hit the ground he quickly checked how much energy he had managed to absorb.

(Energy 20/30)

'I can use the attacks to replenish some of my energy, but I lose more than I recover. Eventually I'll run out of energy if I let this drag on. I've already noticed over these past weeks that I have less energy compared to other ability users, maybe its because of how powerful my ability is.'

'Regardless, they should be able to hold out longer than I can, so I need to end this fight while I'm still able to help them.' These were the thoughts running through Leo's head at an increased speed.

Thanks to his intelligence stat rising, his thinking speed had improved. It's not much faster than it used to be right now but as the stat rises so will his thinking speed and memory capabilities.

The monster ran at Clay and attempted to strike him but Clay manipulated the size of his body and shrunk down to a height of 1 meter. This caused the monsters attack to miss him as he rolled to the side.

Nila shot a red energy blast at the creature, which subsequently turned itself and allowed the beam to strike its head.

'It keeps taking the hits on its head. Is that a strong defensive point for this thing?' Clay thought to himself.

The beam struck the monster and did almost nothing to it again, Leo used that chance to charge at the creature and throw out an attack.

[Dash]

[Palm strike]

Leo used these two skills along with 5 energy points placed in his hand for this attack. The monster was too slow to move its head and Leo's attack struck it in the side near its neck

The creatures body was flung to the side a few meters and it quickly rolled and got up. Black blood was pouring out the monsters mouth.

"Kreeeeeggghhh!!!"

The monster let out another high pitched roar. It was staring at Leo. Clearly it wasn't happy about how he had hurt it with his last attack.

"Everyone! it's head is its strong point, aim for its body!" Clay shouted out from the side.

Other than the first strike that had injured Cain, nobody other than Leo had been hit by the creature. They had seen how strong its attacks were and did everything they could to avoid getting hit.

"If you two can distract it, then I'll be able to land a hit and kill this thing!" Leo shouted to the others while moving to the side.

Clay and Nila sprang into action immediately. Everyone knew that Leo had the highest attacking power of all the trainees, it's literally how he became Rank 1. Because of this, they knew Leo had the best chance of killing the monster.

Nila ran around to the opposite side of the monster from Leo. She shot out several beams, one after the other. The monster would either dodge the beams or take them head on.

Leo was preparing to attack when the opportunity came. He placed all his energy into his right hand and condensed it into a single point the size of a finger.

The monster started charging towards Nila out of anger, but she was quite a distance away so she had plenty of time to react.

Nila jumped into the air and blasted the monster from above. The attack hit the creature in the back of the neck and managed to push its body down slightly while burning its neck.

The monster lost its balance for a moment and Clay used that chance to run at the monster and slide on the ground, going under its stomach.

He used all the energy he had left and placed it into his arms. His arms swelled up as their size increased and he used all his strength to push the monster.

It's body lifted into the air and went up about 6 meters. Leo knew this was his chance and did the strongest attack he could using the energy he had left.

[Dash]

[Leap]

[Palm Strike]

Leo ran for a second so that he could gain speed from Dash, he then used Leap and jumped into the air heading straight towards the monster.

When he arrived next to it, Leo used Palm Strike and thrust his arm forwards. Being suspended in the air, the monster was unable to turn its body and thus Leo's strike landed on the base of its neck.

A flash of blue energy erupted from the point of impact and black blood was sprayed everywhere. Leo and the monster fell to the ground and Leo absorbed the energy from the fall, it allowed him to bring his energy back up slightly.

(Energy 5/30)

Leo landed on the ground, covered in black blood. He looked at the body of the monster and could see that his attack had blasted its head off. The head was lying next to the body.
