Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

Sylas charged toward Leon, and as expected, Leon barely had any time to react, but instead of doing anything, Leon just used his arms to protect his head and vitals. Despite that, he got thrown several hundred meters backward and only stopped after rolling on the ground for quite a while. However, he left a present for Sylas. The very moment Sylas relaxed after landing the punch. He felt something hitting his back and make it crack. In the next moment, Sylas lost control over his lower half as well. When he noticed what was going on, he only saw Leon's lower body approaching him again, and both of his legs were engulfed by light and dark magic. Leon's second attack almost broke Sylas' neck, but his target reacted on time and used both his arms to protect himself. Still, that had been more than enough to make Sylas bleed and break his spine.

Before Sylas could think of healing himself, his blood begun to flow weirdly toward his wounds. Much to his surprise, the blood was attacking and increasing the size of the wounds. Sylas's time magic eventually nullified the damage, but not before he could lose his focus.

Congratulations! You have become a Level one Bloodmancer!

The notification was nice and all, but Leon's attack nearly didn't buy him enough of the time he wanted. Regardless, Leon felt Sylas concentrating again, and this time he wasn't looking at him. Sylas was looking at his lower half. Although that looked weird, Leon knew what he was planning. However, Leon teleported his lower half away before Sylas could do anything. At that moment, Leon's lower half was considered dead, so he probably wouldn't be able to heal it.

Sylas clicked his tongue in annoyance, and that actually gave Leon an idea. It was difficult to tell if that would be enough to surprise someone of Sylas caliber, but Leon had to try at least since he, at the moment, he needed every single extra second to think. Besides, Leon also needed to confirm the limits of Sylas' ability.

For a single moment, Leon covered himself in Light Aura, and then he charged. The bright dazzling light made Sylas uncomfortable, but something like that wasn't enough to force him to cover his eyes. The very moment Leon got too close, Sylas made his body get crushed by what seemed to have been a single punch. Leon's body flew several kilometers backward and only stopped after hitting a random mountain and creating a massive crater in it.

"A concentrated punch… added with the power of the time," Leon muttered.

After seeing the single massive fist wound in his torso, Leon concluded that. Before Leon could heal himself, Sylas appeared before him, and without wasting time, he attacked again, crushing Leon's skull. Sylas sighed in relief, but then he frowned since things ended way too quickly. However, he felt a presence behind him. The moment Sylas turned around, Leon's corpse dissolved into particles of mana.

"A replica…" Sylas bit his lips in annoyance.

As expected, Leon was behind Sylas, watching as if nothing had happened. Soon, Sylas understood that one was also a replica, and the real Leon was elsewhere. He was right. The real Leon was on Miebos healing his face from the damage caused by Sylas. Just like his replicas could give him mana and knowledge, they also transmitted him the pain they suffered. However, before his head could get crushed, Leon healed all his wounds, and he even reattached his lower body.

"Now, let's see if he can use the power of time on me from such a distance," Leon said while he was using Clairvoyance.

Congratulations! You have become a Level one Spy!

Sylas tried to find Leon with his tracking skills, but he failed. It couldn't be helped, given that Leon was so far away. There was also the possibility that he didn't train those skills all that much, given how much mana was used to control time. Regardless, since Sylas didn't intend to attack, Leon's replica charged. Still, Sylas easily stopped the replica with a single punch. Obviously, Leon wanted to conserve mana, so the number of things he could do was limited.

After breathing deeply, a single time, the air around Sylas changed again. It was clear that he was preparing something big, but it was also clear that Leon's replica couldn't stop him. Considering all things, it was highly probable that Leon would even be attacked from such a distance. Still, he couldn't show himself yet.

Suddenly, Sylas's body begun to change. It didn't get bigger or smaller, but his physical form began to lose color. Leon frowned when he saw that… little by little, but surely, Sylas was having the same transparent body that Sekundez had. It didn't take long for Leon to understand the implications of that. Sylas was controlling time to make his body stronger, no… he was controlling time to make his body age to a point where his body would equal in power the power of the spirit of the time. However, it was clear that Sylas would be much stronger than the actual Sekundez… there was a chance that Sylas would be stronger even than the original spirit of the time.

Leon began to sweat cold, imagining the things that Sylas would be able to do; however, before he could even think of doing anything. Leon was forcefully transported back to Earth, and he appeared before Sylas. As if that wasn't surprising enough, Leon's limbs got cut off, and his whole body became purple like a massive wound.
