"I was not just any Archmage," Valtheris declared, his voice carrying a deep resonance. "I was the Golden Duke, master of Metal Magic, a force unmatched in the kingdom’s history."
He extended his hand, a massive spear of glimmering silver metal forming instantly and shooting toward Leon. "You, a pitiful fool who hasn’t even reached the rank of Grand Mage, think you can defeat me?"
Leon smirked, twirling his staff with a confident flourish. "You know, I was wondering why this was so easy up until now." His aura shifted as magic began to swirl around him, potent and destructive.
"Guess what? I wasn’t exactly using my real magic either," Leon said, his voice filled with determination. A fiery glow erupted from his staff as he activated Destruction Magic, its immense power radiating through the room.
"Let’s see how you handle this," Leon growled, preparing to unleash his full strength. Leon has got lot of Destruction series spell, his Spells all came from his Charity system, now every time hr donates any spell to Roselia most came back as Destruction series spells.
’Time to test out their powers’ Leon thought as he looked at Valtheris.

The air in the chamber grew heavy, crackling with raw energy as the battle began in earnest. Leon’s Destruction Magic, volatile and untamed, radiated from him like a burning inferno. Opposing him, Valtheris stood with an aura of composed menace, his Metal Magic glimmering with an almost divine luster.
The Lich raised his hand, summoning a swirling maelstrom of sharp metallic shards that floated around him like a deadly halo. With a flick of his wrist, the shards shot forward, transforming into countless gleaming spears aimed directly at Leon.
Leon reacted instantly, slamming the base of his staff into the ground. "Destructive Barrier!" he roared. A fiery, crackling dome of red energy erupted around him, disintegrating the incoming projectiles before they could reach him. The sound of melting metal filled the chamber as the barrier absorbed the assault.
"You’ll have to do better than that," Leon taunted, stepping forward as the barrier dispersed.
Valtheris’s skeletal grin widened. "Very well, human. Let’s see how long your arrogance lasts."
The Lich thrust his hands toward the ground, and the floor beneath them began to rumble. Spikes of pure metal erupted from the stone, aiming to impale Leon from all angles. Leon leaped into the air, spinning his staff.
"Inferno Surge!" he shouted, sending a torrent of blazing fire spiraling downward. The molten heat clashed with the metal spikes, reducing them to pools of liquid steel.
Landing gracefully, Leon didn’t hesitate. He pointed his staff at Valtheris. "Disintegration Ray!" A searing beam of pure destructive energy shot forward, aiming for the Lich’s chest.
Valtheris countered by raising an enormous wall of metal, thicker and denser than any natural alloy. The ray struck the barrier, blasting chunks of molten metal in all directions but failing to penetrate entirely.
"Impressive," Valtheris admitted, his voice calm but filled with malice. "But you’ve only scratched the surface of my power."
The Lich extended his arms, and the pools of molten steel on the ground began to rise, reshaping into a towering figure—a Colossus of Metal, glowing with the same blue runes as Valtheris. The massive construct moved with surprising speed, swinging a colossal arm at Leon.
Leon gritted his teeth. "Not bad, but I’m not out of tricks yet!" Slamming his staff into the ground, he channeled his mana into the earth.
"Earthshatter Wave!"
The ground split apart, releasing a surge of explosive energy that tore through the colossus’s legs. The towering construct stumbled and collapsed, shattering into a cascade of molten debris.
The two combatants locked eyes. Neither was giving an inch.
"You’ve got skill," Leon admitted, gripping his staff tightly as the air around him shimmered with raw magical energy.
"And you’ve got arrogance," Valtheris retorted, summoning another wave of metallic shards.
As the battle raged on, the chamber itself began to crumble under the strain of their powers. Sparks flew, flames roared, and the metallic scent of scorched steel filled the air. Each clash of their spells sent shockwaves rippling outward, a testament to the sheer scale of their magic.
The clash between Leon and Valtheris intensified, their powers reaching unfathomable heights. Each spell cast carried devastating force, transforming the once-majestic chamber into a chaotic battlefield.
Valtheris waved his skeletal hand, summoning a swirling vortex of razor-sharp metal fragments. The shards glinted ominously in the flickering light as they spiraled toward Leon.
"Shatter Storm!" the Lich hissed, sending the storm barreling forward with bone-crushing speed.
Leon stood his ground, channeling his mana with a deep, focused breath. "Force Nova!" he shouted, releasing a massive shockwave of destructive energy that collided with the storm. The air filled with a cacophony of metallic screeches as the shards disintegrated upon contact, falling to the ground in harmless fragments.
"You’re persistent," Valtheris growled, his glowing blue eyes narrowing.
"And you’re stubborn," Leon shot back, a smirk playing on his lips.
The Lich raised both arms, and the shattered metal fragments began to gather around him, merging into an enormous spear with glowing blue runes etched along its length. The weapon pulsed with an unholy energy as Valtheris hurled it at Leon.
Leon reacted swiftly. "Destructive Rift!" he bellowed, slashing his staff through the air. A swirling tear in reality appeared before him, absorbing the spear just as it was about to hit. The rift collapsed with a deafening roar, leaving no trace of the attack.
Valtheris let out a guttural laugh, the sound echoing unnaturally. "You’re resourceful, but let’s see how you handle this!"
The ground beneath Leon began to rumble violently as massive chains of metal erupted from below, snaking toward him with relentless speed. The chains coiled and twisted, seeking to ensnare him.
Leon jumped back, twirling his staff. "Blazing Cyclone!" he shouted, summoning a vortex of searing flames around himself. The chains recoiled, their metal glowing red-hot before they melted into useless puddles.
But Valtheris wasn’t done. From the molten metal, he forged a pair of massive metallic golems, each armed with spiked fists. The golems lumbered toward Leon, their footsteps shaking the ground.
