Malahk tried to resist, but Leon quickly added more earth to his body and then turned it into steel. The angel had superhuman strength, but it couldn't do much when Leon's mana was also involved in the equation. Besides, to muster all his strength, Malahk had to move several parts of his body, which he currently couldn't. So, his power to resist decreased a lot.
After noticing that brute strength wouldn't help him, Malahk turned into a sphere of light, but before he could even move on that form, Leon compressed the steel and enveloped all the sphere. Although the metal was under his command, Leon had a hard time controlling it. Malahk wouldn't be able to return to his standard form like that, so he tried to escape to his friends.
"Tsk..." Leon clicked his tongue. "Just give up already!"
