687 Chapter 684

"So, you are Leon…" Sylas muttered, uninterested. "You must be someone really troublesome if you forced me to use this."

Leon frowned when he heard that. Sylas not only looked different, but he also sounded different. His voice was calm and lacked any sentiment, just like his eyes. It almost looked as if Sylas had forgotten about him, but that wouldn't make any sense since he still tried to kill Leon. Still, before Leon could understand what was going on, the same thing happened again. Leon's body became a mess in an instant. However, this time, the very moment Leon noticed those effects. He also used Time Manipulation on himself and made his body return in time to the point where he wasn't damaged by whatever Sylas used.

Congratulations! You have become a Level one Time Lord!

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

"Oh… you also have the power of the time on your side," Sylas muttered, showing a bit of surprise on his face. "It seems you won't go down as easily as the last one…"

Leon bit his lips in annoyance. Although he succeeded in countering Sylas attacks, it was clear who had the upper hand there. Leon had been using time magic only to help on his training while Sylas was using to all kinds of crazy things. Most likely, he made his body age to a point where he reached the apex of his strength, even though that made him forget about Leon. Still, countering Leon's actions would be easy. Sylas would just have to slow down the effects of his attacks and make it continuous.

"Shit… this is bad," Leon clenched his teeth. "If only my replicas could work a bit faster."

There was also a way for Leon to counter Sylas' power. He just needed to have access to one million points of mana per second. That way, he would be able to reverse the time in his body non-stop. Leon didn't know what would happen with him if he does something like that, but it probably would be better than dying.

"May I ask you something?" Leon asked in a hurry since he didn't have any other idea about how to stall for time.

"It is useless," Sylas said. "You can't fool me. Like my body and mind aged, my skill list also reached a point where it has all the skills obtained. I can hear your thoughts as if you are saying them out loud. I can feel what you feel as if you were me. Stalling for time is meaningless."

That was insane, but Leon somehow didn't doubt Sylas' words. It was weird, but Leon couldn't even feel Sylas's presence anymore. He could see him, but his instincts told him that he was so far away that what he was saying was just an illusion. As if… as if Sylas' had become a god-like existence.

"So, I can't defeat you?" Leon frowned.

"You can't," Sylas replied. "Just like you, I have the power of the Foresight now. I can see everything you might try to do right now as we speak. Attacking me by using a conceptual attack with the power of meteor, poison, using my companions as hostage… everything you might try to do is useless."

Leon frowned when he heard that. It looked like things would eventually make him so desperate that he would look for hostages in order to survive. It actually wasn't hard to imagine himself doing that. After surviving up to this point, Leon would do anything to succeed in achieving his goals.

"I guess Foresight can be used like that, huh," Leon sat on the ground and nodded. "Let's see if I can do it."

Leon didn't learn the skill himself in order to get rid of the cooldown time, but maybe he could find a way now. Despite the limitations of the skill, Leon managed in a second, see the events that would happen in the next six minutes by using all his mana. That being said, Leon didn't see anything unusual. He just talked with Sylas.

Congratulations! You have become a Level one Prophet!

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

"I see…, so this is what will happen if I don't do anything suspicious," Leon nodded to himself. "That transformation sure changed your personality… the previous you won't talk with me for more than a few seconds without us questioning each other's intention."

"The future isn't set in stone," Sylas shook his head. "Although you saw the future where we talked, the future might change now that we know what might happen."

"I guess that makes sense," Leon shrugged. "Still, that doesn't change the fact that you are absolutely sure that you can kill me, right? Or do you think that I future where I defeat you might happen if we talk a little?"
