Vole was trying to convince and warn Xelin from this fight. After he discovered that his opponent was possessed one of the valuable power in this world which was the [Transformation magic].
Yes! In this world, the Duel was also signified for their dignity since this was the way how you were going to show your abilities to others. So it was way better if Vole would not interfere in this match despite the current situation that he had.
"Please, Xel! Listen to me! I know that you are aware that this man is the type of guy that you can't defeat no matter how hard you try!" Vole was persistent to persuade him to save the invasion's head from the brick of death.
Xelin's eyes were widened as he heard these words. Nonetheless, he could not expect that his intuition of this match would be accurate. "Stop it right there, Vole! This duel is sacred for me. Also, who says that I can't win against him?" He asked in a deep tone, avoiding showing expression to everyone.
"Huh?! What are you saying, Xel?! Do you know how terrifying the power of the person that possesses by transformation magic." Vole replied in shock, could not anticipate Xelin would act according to his emotion.
"That's just a rumor by the elders in our kingdom! No one ever could see what really the transformation magic is. On top of that, he's a human being so it's mean only a human being could defeat him!" Xelin explained in a high tone, trying to convince himself that the [Tranformation magic] doesn't exist even the man concealed by his dark magical power standing in front of him.
At this point, Vole understood nothing would change if he continued to pursue this man from retreating in this match. As Vole could see in Xelin's eyes that he was going to finish the match no matter what would be the outcome.
After that conversation, he stepped back a bit, then approached the other attackers to withdraw one by one. However, none of them tried to listen to him, to put it simply, the attackers' decision was still depending on Xelin.
"Damn it! What is Xelin trying to play? He doesn't realize we can drop into a really bad situation?! Aside from that, Arzotoc's guards are still not showing in this invasion. With the current numbers we have and they have, I can easily they can outstand us from this match." He seriously uttered to himself and took a glance at the man before adding. "Sh-- that man is doing all the jobs alone!"
Vole's thought was quite right since if the village's guards decided to fire them with their magical power or arrow from afar, there was a high possibility that they could reduce their current numbers. Also, the man who was fearlessly facing them was already consumed plenty of their time.
"Who really is this man? How he could do this to us." He said in an annoyed tone while thinking possible ways to rid this problem.

On the other hand, along with the dark clouds that seemed would drop the rain in no time. Riku's magical power was starting to disappear and reveal the new transformation in his body.
Everyone was blinking their eyes in surprise as the man who was wearing a ripped white blanket earlier suddenly had armor. To describe his new outward appearance, his body was protected by jet black armor that had a red blinking line on it. Moreover, this transformation reached its true potential as there half-mask armor on his face.
To begin with, Vole, Xelin, and the attackers were looking at the man who had silky black hair and gleaming eyes. Even though they could not sense high magical power towards him, still, they could feel the dangerous presence coming at him.
From afar, Emma had a reddened face since Riku's was too handsome for her eyes. At the same time, she was impressed by this ability although this was not the first time she saw it.
"I really loved all the time I saw him transforming." She said in a sweet tone, but that expression quickly faded away after she felt strong magical power not too far away from her.
She was looking around and stopped when saw another woman watching the new pace of the fight. Of course, it was Arisu who was looked uncomfortable with Riku's decision. But based on Arisu's expression right now, you could say the things that kept bothering her mind had already disappeared.
Tch!
Emma clicked her tongue as she knew admiring Riku's ability. But what she could do? She didn't have the right to stop the King's daughter from watching the fight. More importantly, Riku was the one who initiated the attack since there was rumbling inside his head.
'Oi! Oi! Oi! This is so cool! I never expect that I would have this kind of ability.' He cheerfully uttered to his mind before adding the problem that might appear. 'I have to move since I don't have any clue when this armor would vanish the same with the [spider senses].'
To begin with, the whole area was enveloped by the transparent spider that was made from his own magical power. Then there was a followed up screen that appeared right before his eyes, indicating the addition of how he was going to utilize the [Spider sense]
[Web stretch] - this skill is allowed the user to stretch in the direction where the web perceived the opponents. To be exact, the user would have extra movement speed.
His face was brightened after seeing the system notification. In his mind, the [Metallic armor] could easily reduce his foot so for him the added skill occurred in good timing. Nevertheless, he had no idea how this skill exactly works.
"Hahaha! I didn't afraid to use this skill because this thick armor can protect me if there is an unnecessary thing that happened to me here." Riku suddenly chuckled which made Xelin grit his teeth as he thought this man was insulting just because he acquired a new ability.
"You think of yourself, huh?! Have this, bastard!" Xelin yelled to him while planning to cast a new skill with a thirty-four meters distance.
[Piercing spear!]
As expected, the magic circle appeared next to him and Xelin immediately said the incantation magic in order to activate in perfect timing.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
And all of a sudden, the blew of wind was getting stronger and stronger as Xelin was concentrating his magical power in a certain position. Moreover, the green spear's size magnified into a big one, at the same time, the spear was rapidly twirling around and seemed the main reason why the blew of wind changed.
After that, Xelin stretched his arm to gather some strength on his body before he released the skill.
"Hahaha! Come at me!" Xelin aggressively said as he was eager to show this man how he was going to easily destroy his thick black armor.
As soon as Riku was reached twenty meters towards his opponent. Xelin eventually threw the large spear directly at him without making any second thought.
Swoosh!
In the dark place where the rain started to fall. There was a green spear that was flying and cutting the air. Also, the force was releasing was enough for the attackers near the area to step back.
Wow!
That's so big!
Sir Xelin owning this fight!
These words were the side comments of the attackers who were seeing the elastic transparent spider web was splitting. Furthermore, that was the main reason why they thought that man's skill has nothing to do with this battle.
Riku pointed his left arm to the left side while opening his palm. It seemed he was still confused about his new skill, but he should do something to dodge the large spear hurriedly coming at him. Inside his mind, he must avoid all the possibilities that his skill hid multiple tricks that could deal some damage.
[Web stretch!]
When he saw the spear would reach his head in no time, he cast the skill without hesitation. In his hand, a part of him was suddenly opened up and the spider web was entering into while pulling him into the area where he pointed it.
Swoosh!
Boom!
He managed to block the attack, the large magical spear exploded after it hit the huge tree. It shook the place and put everything to stop for a couple of seconds as they saw Xelin's skill destroy a big portion of the forest.
He was gritting his teeth, trying to figure out how that man increase his speed faster than before even though he was wearing heavy armor right now. "How this is possible? Why this man had always found a way to counter-attack all of my skill!" He said in frustration while looking around as he was locating the exact location of his opponent. "Where did he go?!"
Swoosh!
A sound of flash movement transpired next to him, so he took a glance at it to find what it was. "Where are you looking at, huh?! Always keep your eyes on me, idiot!"
