Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

Sylas looked at Leon, annoyed, but even though he had lost his forearm and right hand, he didn't feel that troubled. Leon frowned at that. If he thought that he could heal his arm, he would have to spend a lot of energy, which would cost him a lot. Besides, it wasn't like Leon would just observe.

However, in the blink of an eye, without Sylas doing anything. His arm was back to its rightful place and completely healed. Obviously, he did it, but Leon was having a hard time believing in that. Based on his experiments, Sylas would have to spend 70 million mana points to make the time of his arms move in reversal, and he didn't have that.

"It looks like you are quite cherished," Leon said. "To think that she would spend so much mana on you even though she is fighting right now."

"Are you jealous?" Sylas smirked.

"Jealous for being protected in the middle of a fight?" Leon frowned. "Not really…"

Although Leon didn't have time to talk in the middle of the fight, he needed to buy some time in order to check his friends. As expected, after using Clairvoyance, he confirmed that some weird looking guys attacked all of his friends. Although none of them got heavily wounded, the fights aren't being easy since the opponents have the power of low-ranked harvesters. Much to his surprise, Leon saw Yuki fighting against the rat-people. They seemed much more different than before. The kids have grown up and now had the bodies of people who fought for decades. They also had some impressive mithril weapons.

"I see…" Leon sighed. "So, you have come to my friends. Let me guess. She said that they are being controlled by someone evil and that you need to kill the leaders of this world to save humanity."

Sylas didn't say anything. However, he wasn't surprised either. As expected, even though he was resolute in his mission, he had considered that perhaps Yuki, Hector, and Gisela weren't bad people. He probably thought that they just joined the wrong side because they didn't have any other choice. Even if they had ill intentions, it didn't change the fact that they had protected many lives. Sylas's serious expression showed Leon that he had considered all of that. Still, he had made his choice.

"Since you are a human, I thought we could reach the middle ground," Leon said. "You are resolute in killing them, so I won't show mercy."

Leon's words didn't faze Sylas; it was only obvious that they reached a point where they couldn't solve things just by talking. However, given that Earth's population decreased from seven billion to only a few dozen million, Leon felt the need to try it. Too many humans had already died, and even though Sylas was an enemy, their positions could have been the opposite.

Leon didn't want to follow the advice of someone who obviously was hiding too many things from him, but then again, Ilyana was right. Leon needed to get much stronger, much faster than before. Everything made him think that the final battle finally started on Earth, but that was hard to be sure. To obtain unlimited power and to reach his goals, Leon will have to become perhaps even worse than his enemies. That was something unpleasant to do, but at that point in time, Leon was tired of it. Tired of his hesitation, tired of fighting, tired of the uncertain future.

Leon deactivated the Mindscape Transportations and even his summoned replicas. After he received those notifications, Leon used Summon Replica, and three of them appeared near him. Sylas frowned while looking at him.

"Is that your strategy?" Sylas smirked. "It is useless. Even if you multiply yourself by one hundred, it won't change anything since all of the replicas will use the mana of the original."

Although Leon was impressed that Sylas knew that, he didn't think of making his replicas fight alongside him. His replicas used Teleport and then went to somewhere, making the smile disappear from Sylas's face.

"Trying to help your friends?" Sylas asked. "That would be a…"

Before Sylas could finish that sentence, he saw Leon's skin getting dark and a red aura enveloping his body. Truth to be told, Leon had enough mana to create five replicas, but he would need some to fight, and he decided to use his Dragon Mode to face Sylas.

​ Congratulations! You have become a Level one Draconic Warrior!

Your strength and health will increase by ten points. Your speed, mana, stamina, and recovery will increase by five points whenever you level up your class.

The smile disappeared from Sylas' face, and only an expression of astonishment was left there. At any other moment, Leon would have great while watching that, but since that skill consumed not only his mana but also his health and stamina, Leon was feeling like crap, but that would only work to fuel his rage.

"You… How?" Sylas asked. "What did you do with your body and spirit to emulate the power of dragons?"

Instead of answering, Leon charged in a straight line. His speed increased so much that he didn't could control his attack. However, just by pointing both of his arms toward Sylas, Leon hit him and sent him flying for several kilometers.
