But Leon wasn't willing to die crushed against a tree. His instincts roared. At the very last instant, he activated Mana Jet, blasting energy under his feet to levitate and slow his fall. His body steadied midair just before he would have slammed into the thick trunk of a baobab tree.
If he had hit it directly, his body would have been nothing but a bag of shattered bones.
Yet, before his boots even touched the ground, the Orc King had already closed the distance. His silhouette blurred, and with frightening agility for such a massive creature, he twisted and drove a spinning kick straight into Leon's stomach.
The impact was catastrophic.
BOOOOM!
Leon's body bent like a bow, the kick sending shockwaves through his organs. Blood spewed out of his mouth violently as he was hurled backwards once again.
