624 Chapter 622

"I wonder why he didn't use Teleport…" Leon rubbed his chin.

Although that was suspicious, that kind of question wouldn't help Leon in any way. Instead, he focused himself on using Teleport and return to Earth. Given that such skill wasn't at the level max yet, Leon had been forced to create a few kilograms of mithril, but he only lost a few seconds to do that.

Congratulations! The skill Teleport has leveled up.

"Guys, I'm counting on you," Leon said to his spirits the very moment he returned to Earth.

"I guess it can't be helped," Celsius sighed.

"After surviving this far, humans do deserve our powers," Undine shrugged.

"Just say the word, Leon," Volt said.

Leon activated his Mindscape Transportation again in order to let Efreet, Sylph, and Gnome level up. So, Celsius, Undine, and Volt would help Leon by giving their blessings to as many humans as possible. After using Teleport again, Leon appeared in the middle of a battle. Hector's group was fighting against a pack of acid dragons.

"What the… You!" Hector said, surprised.

Amanda and Maya opened their eyes widely when they recognized Leon, but he ignored them all. In the blink of an eye, many of his mana was drained because his spirits gave a portion of their powers to his friends. After that, the spirits did the same to anyone nearby while Leon was recovering his mana by using Mana Magnetism.

It was kind of surprising, but the dragons retreated the very moment Leon appeared. Although that gave them some time to talk, Leon ignored them and just moved the people that received the power of the spirits to his mindscape. He waited for ten seconds and then freed everyone and disappeared without saying anything. The shadowy figure was about to arrive, so Leon couldn't focus on a single place. Leon could only hope that those twenty-four hours of training would be enough for the time being.

"I guess that is to be expected…" Leon said.

Leon did the same thing with Ren and Yuki once they stopped to rest. His spirits also gave a portion of their power to many soldiers. Again, after transporting them to his mindscape to train, Leon disappeared without saying anything.

It was snowing heavily in central Europe, but Leon quickly found Gisela, Lennart, and Tom fighting a group of ice dragons while another group was conjuring a massive spell to keep that snowstorm active. Leon killed both groups before appearing in front of those three… as expected, they didn't change all that much. They had a few more scars here and there, but nothing major.

Regardless, after finishing his job there. Leon sighed in relief, and then he was forcefully teleported by Ilyana. Much to his surprise, Leon still appeared on Earth. Ilyana was facing him with her arms crossed. Despite everything, she looked at him as if everything couldn't be helped.

"You are late," Leon said.

"And you messed up," Ilyana sighed and shook her head. "Anyway, at least until you learned some useful skills. What is your plan now?"

"I thought you would like to give me the one leading. I don't think I have done enough to become the leader and give the calls," Leon shrugged.

"… It will be a bet, but since you are here, we might as well take some risks in order to make most of the situation." Ilyana hesitated a little bit. "The goal is to protect your friends and this planet, right? So, I will summon you and the shadowy figure to my mindscape. Killing that guy shouldn't be that difficult for me, but many will die even if they are far away from this place. So, in this situation, I will use all my power to keep him there, and you will try to kill him."

Leon nodded, it wasn't exactly a brilliant plan, but considering the possible outcomes, it was their best option. The shadowy figure would be only the first target they would have to deal with, and considering that he certainly wasn't the strongest, Leon had to make good use of him.

In order to save some time, Ilyana transported all of Leon's spirits to her mindscape. Although she could do better, the time there would pass ten thousand times faster, her remaining mana would be used to make sure the shadowy figure wouldn't escape.

Even from very far away, Leon still felt shivers when he felt the presence of that bastard. He was so powerful that the entire solar system was getting darker thanks to him. Even though Leon had Rem on his side, he doubted that the elemental advantage would be enough to grant him victory.

As if the shadowy figure had felt their presence, the bastard flew directly toward Leon and Ilyana. Eventually, Leon could see a dark meteor-like thing approaching them at tremendous speed, but before he could notice, Leon saw himself in the middle of a destroyed world. Then the shadowy figure landed there as well.
