The Great Demon System
chapter-120

Out of the debris of dust surrounding the impact of where Leon's attack landed, emerged Moby, completely unscathed, his eyes glowing a dark purple glow.

The entire crowd stared at what happened in astonishment, some even with their mouths wide open in shock. They did not want to believe their eyes. From their angle, there was no way in hell Moby could have predicted and reacted in time to dodge Leon's attack that was speeding right towards him faster than it had ever done before. However, there he was, standing right in front of them, completely unharmed and ready to fight.

"Hey! Jayden look!" Abby said, nudging Jayden who had her hands covering her face.

"No! I don't want to!" She said, being stubborn.

"No, Jayden! Actually look! He's okay!" Abby said, nudging her once more.

"Huh... Hahaha! Of course, he's okay! I wasn't worried at all!" Jayden said with a nervous laugh.

"You should have more faith in your boyfriend! Unlike you, I knew that he was going to be okay 100%! No way my lor- I mean… M-Moby… went into this fight blind and unprepared!" Abby said with confidence.

"Hey! Don't mock me! I-I had full faith in him too!" Jayden nervously replied.

"That was very impressive! Did you guys see the way he dodged that attack at the last second!" Alex said, leaning forward in excitement.

"N-no… it all looked pretty blurry to me, especially with all the dust…" Abby replied in confusion.

"Huh? What dust? There was barely anything there… looked pretty clear to me…" Alex said with a chuckle, making Abby look at him with wide eyes filled with skepticism.

Instead of going for consecutive attacks, Leon chose to bounce all by himself in the corner of the arena as to not kill Moby by continuously attacking which would have gotten him disqualified and maybe even killed by the head of the Griffith family and his daughter. However, he kept bouncing to keep his momentum and speed until the match was called, just in case of the small chance that he missed.

So, when he heard the head of the Griffith family stop mid sentence as he was declaring his victory, he felt a slight feeling of fear before it faded away into a sense of relief.

'Shit! I am so glad I didn't stop bouncing! That would have been really bad! I can't believe I missed him! I'll just end it quick! I only have 3 minutes and a half or so time left in my ball form,' Leon thought.

"Consider yourself lucky you little shitter! God has blessed you with another chance! I somehow missed my finishing move! But, trust me when I say that my next attacks will not be missing!" Leon screamed like a lunatic rushing straight at Moby once again.

"Heh, That could never be true… I have been condemned by the gods…" Moby said, dodging his high-speed attack like it was nothing at all, a wide smirk on his face.

Leon was very surprised to see that his attack did not connect once more as he bounced on the ground hitting nothing.

Then, he bounced off the walls once more, attacking Moby from his blind spot only for him to dodge again, almost like he fully predicted the trajectory of his attack and knew where it was coming from.

"WHY THE FUCK CAN'T I HIT YOU ANYMORE! STAND STILL YOU LITTLE BUG! WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!" Leon screamed with immense frustration, continuing his onslaught of attacks only for every single one of them to be effortlessly and gracefully dodged by Moby who kept a visible smirk on his face.

Of course, this was all part of Moby's plan. He knew that once he activated his "eyes of sin", he would be able to completely dodge and predict all of Leon's attacks due to a combination of the extra power boost, sense boost, and future sight that it provided him.

The big problem with using his "Eyes of Sin" was the extremely high demon energy cost at 2 demon energy/second. According to his calculations, If he used no other skill that needed demon energy, he would only be able to sustain his "Eyes of Sin" for around 3 minutes and 30 seconds which was much lower than the 5 minutes that Leon could sustain his ball form.

So, in order to win, he needed to survive Leon's onslaught of attacks for the first 1 minute and 30 seconds in order to make him run out of his ball form before he ran out of his "Eyes of Sin". That was the reason for the timer that he told Avilia to set. And, it was the reason why he chose a mixture of a shield and light armour as to have good mobility with the ability to block when things got bad, which he did not at all expect to happen as he thought that Leon needed more time to reach his maximum speed which was the reason he almost lost. So, he was extremely glad he chose to bring it anyway.

He also opted to choose to hold off on using his eyes of sin first and surviving the rest naturally as he accounted for the time that Leon needed to reach his full speed in the beginning, giving him maximum survivability instead of trying to withstand the last 1 minute and 30 seconds which Leon would have been at full speed, giving Moby a virtually 0% chance to survive.

Moby could have also tried to brute force his way into beating Leon. However, that strategy was not completely full proof as he had read about how incredibly tough the ability "Ball of Steal" truly was. Even if it worked, he did not want to risk it. He did not want to use his demon energy on something he was not even sure of, which would have made him definitely lose if it didn't work.

'Fuck! How is that little bug still standing! No way he could have dodged that last attack!' Spencer inwardly cursed, clenching his teeth in anger and anticipation.
