631 Chapter 629

"Well, now… what shall I do?" Leon rubbed his chin.

Leon was watching that dark world from space, and even though he could just there forever since he could recover his mana to create oxygen and keep Mana Barrier active nonstop, time on Earth was passing as fast as time was passing, using his body as a basis. So, he couldn't take his sweet time.

"There is no gravity here, so I will try that," Leon smirked.

Leon created massive rock, and little by little, the rock was reaching unbelievable proportions. Although he knew that he could create a meteor as big as the ones which decimated the dinosaurs, Leon knew that he didn't have time or mana to make the meteor move that fasts and destroy the world. Regardless, that wasn't his goal.

Once the rock was big enough, Leon waited for a while to recover his mana, and after obtaining full control over it, he fired the meteor toward the planet. As expected, he only managed to make the meteor move around ten kilometers per second, but that had been enough to make that planet tremble… for a few seconds. Even from afar, Leon felt that his mana inside the rock got destroyed instead of dissipating.

"So, the darkness also has the nature of dark matter…" Leon rubbed his chin. "Even if Shadow helps me, if that guy controls all the darkness in that world, I won't survive."

Leon doubted that that guy could control so much darkness with his current mana pool, but he recalled that the bastard was draining mana from several planets. Most likely, he was doing that to fill his own planet with darkness and create the perfect environment for himself. That was the perfect moment to train Darkness Absorption, but Leon doubted that he would last long before the skill reaches the max level.

"What do you think, Shadow?" Leon asked after summoning Shadow from his mindscape.

"About what?" Shadow asked.

"…About that world," Leon said after a long sigh. "Do you think you can absorb all that darkness fast enough in order to make you evolve?"

"Yes, if you endure the attacks for fifty hours, I will evolve," Shadow replied. "However, I won't be able to help you with anything else since I will be focused on absorbing the darkness as fast as possible."

Leon nodded, as expected, even though Shadow could, the amount of mana he would absorb had a limit. It couldn't be helped given that he was just a fragment, but it made sense. By the look of things, Leon would have to put himself in danger no matter what. Although it couldn't be helped, given the power of his current enemy, Leon would have to waste a lot of time.

Fortunately, his spirits didn't complain since they were understanding, even Efreet, Sylph, and Gnome, who wanted to reach the peak of their power again.

After that, Leon used Teleport and landed on that planet. Just like before, he couldn't see what his surroundings looked like, not even when he used Mana Dominion. Shadow started his work of absorbing the darkness. Meanwhile, Leon was alternating in using Mana Armor and Darkness Absorption to stay alive.

…

"That son of a bitch can attack me even without revealing its position now…" Leon clicked his tongue while he was watching his mana decreasing at fearsome speed. "It can't be helped."

Leon didn't know for how long that guy's mana would last, but Leon wasn't that worried because he was fully aware that no matter what happens. That guy would never be able to use all the mana he stored in a single moment to kill Leon. There were two reasons for that. The first was the fact that killing Leon wasn't that guy's ultimate goal. Leon was just another obstacle, as of the next reason, it was the shadowy figure's own limits. Even if one day, someone manages to create a vehicle that absorbs sunlight efficiently, that vehicle would still have a limit.

Even though magicians can somewhat ignore that kind of rule, their limits would still be determined by their mana pool. Even if a gun has an infinite supply of bullets, that gun can only fire so many bullets per second. In other words, that bastard could only cause damage that was equal to his mana pool multiplied the level of the current skill and also multiplied the level of his Darkness Manipulation… per second.

In any other situation, his foes would be decimated. However, the targeted of the shadowy figure's attacks this time was someone who had all the spirits, Shadow was decreasing the damage he was receiving, Leon also had Darkness Resistance and Darkness Immunity at the max level… not only that, Darkness Absorption was quickly leveling up and also decreasing the damage he could receive. Of course, even with those, Leon wouldn't be able to last the power of his attacks for more than ten seconds straight… and that was why he had Mana Armor at the max level. By increasing the scope of Mana Magnetism by ten, it was more than enough for Leon to survive being attacked by spells that could cost five hundred thousand mana points per second. Thanks to it, it didn't take long before the shadowy figure could understand that his only option was a direct confrontation.
