689 Chapter 686

In the blink of an eye, Leon turned into that thing Maya saw before. Now, more than ever, he could feel his mortality. While the skills were draining his life and energy at a crazy pace, Leon could also feel his body receiving hundreds of monsters' energy, and the number was quickly increasing. Although that was the kind of skill an evil boss of an RPG would use, that was the least of Leon's worries. He finally gave up… Leon didn't want those ten years of a normal life anymore… he just wants to get rid of all those who threatened life on Earth and then die. Tired of struggling so much for so long, Leon just wanted the peace of the afterlife. At least that much, he deserved.

Congratulations! You have become a Level one Draconic Mage!

Your intelligence and mana will increase by twenty points, your stamina, health, endurance, and mentality will increase by ten points whenever you level up your class.

Ignoring that notification, Leon also activated his Mana Reinforcement and Rage. He had never been good at thinking, so it was better to let his fists do the job. In all his years, Leon barely could remember the times that he felt excited while using magic. In the beginning, he felt excited, but soon that became something normal. However, Leon always felt very accomplished when he decimated his foes with his fists, so it was better to let that excitement control him.

Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Dragon's Rage.

Cost: 40000 health, 40000 mana, and 40000 stamina per second

You obtained 01 status point.

That new notification didn't even surprise Leon. Still, the very moment he realized what that skill could do, Leon activated. Leon's eyes became red like blood, and his whole body begun to emit a reddish aura. It was probably his blood evaporating from his body… the extra skills were causing massive amounts of damage to him, but Leon ignored it because each level, the skill would increase all his status by one thousand points.

"For a human like you to almost become a dragon…" Sylas frowned. "You… what are you?"

"I am…" Leon's voice was rough and darkened due to his new appearance. "

"Your father?" Sekundez said before Leon could finish his sentence.

Leon, who almost reached the apex of his rage, lost the momentum when Sekundez suddenly returns to his head. Leon also obtained the memories of the replica that was with her and frowned when he saw that she forcefully canceled the spell to make her return.

"… What are you plotting, Sekundez?" Leon asked. "The very moment I saw you, I noticed that you were different from other spirits. Your power, behavior, words… all sound pretty suspicious. Still, I treated you fairly because you didn't do anything directly against me."

"Well, thank you very much for that," Sekundez shrugged. "Treating me differently would make others feel pretty jealous."

"What are you talking about?" Leon asked.

"I can answer this question if you survive to live another day," Sekundez replied. "Since you went too far and even turned yourself into something like that, she has sensed you."

Leon was getting impatient as if Sekundez's actions weren't suspicious enough. She was talking as if she was a different person. Leon's head was already full of worries since Ilyana's actions also were suspicious, but such thoughts disappeared when Leon felt something dreadful approaching. It was the same feeling that he had when he still was on Ilyana's planet.

"Why… why is she coming?" Sylas asked, astonished.

By the look of things, even though Sylas changed a lot and forget some things, he didn't forget about his boss after becoming that powerful. It was insane to think that, but based on his reaction, Leon concluded that she was even more powerful than him. Despite all that power… they didn't reach the seventh stage of assimilation.

Suddenly, the space around them begun to distort. Leon also felt as if his existence was getting crushed by a single massive hand. He didn't even have enough time to deal with Sylas, and now he will have to deal with his boss… someone even Ilyana couldn't have stopped from coming to Earth. Although that was dangerous, Leon only shrugged. He wasn't smart enough to obtain enough power to kill a being like her in hundreds of years, so there was no reason for him to feel afraid or disappointed. In the end, the fate of his friends and Earth were too much for his shoulders.

As if the sky was made of sort of glass, it broke, and then the shattered pieces began to fell, revealing a dark-night sky. From the darkness, a single being began to descend… her hair was long and black, much longer than her own body. She was only a single and long dark gown, and her skin was pale like the skin of a corpse. Although that figure looked weird, she also looked particularly beautiful. As if those characteristics weren't weird enough, the woman's body also seemed a bit transparent, as if it was a mix of a human body and a ghost.

"How… how many times do you intend to get on my way," The dark eyes of the woman were fixed at Leon when she asked.
