"What the…" Leon frowned. "I can see how this skill works, but… it is not like I tested and practiced. So, how…"

That was strange… it wouldn't be weird if Leon learns a spell that let him learn the skills of his alternated versions, but he didn't learn that spell yet, and that was why he couldn't understand what was going on. At that point, his alternate version was probably as strong as Leon was when he took Sekundez's test. So, it wasn't weird that his alternated version could learn spells that Leon didn't learn yet.

Leon thought it was a bit soon for him, but that Leon began to hunt down and kill all the harvesters he found. However, after returning to Earth, he didn't find a single one of them, nor did he find other humans. The planet now only looked like a black marble that had no life and could explode at any moment. Seeing his home planet like that made Leon feel only more resolute on his revenge. So, he began to travel through the stars by using dungeons.

"Mmm… I wonder why he didn't find a single spirit," Leon frowned.

Again, it took a while since it was rare for a plane to reach the fifth stage of assimilation and still have survivors, but Leon found one that was on the verge of collapse. Just like before, dragons were rampaging and eating the few survivors left and right. Meanwhile, the harvesters were killing both inhabitants of that planet and dragons as if that was the world's greatest sport. Strangely enough, the people of that world resembled humans quite a bit. The only real difference was their pointy ears and the fact that all of them had red hair. Amidst that carnage, Leon found a single woman that was exploding the dragon's head with a single movement of her hands while she was also stopping the harvesters who were chasing the few survivors who were trying to leave the planet… that woman was Ilyana.

"Is this… her home planet?" Leon frowned. "If this isn't an illusion… then that means…"

That Leon bit his lips in annoyance, he couldn't forgive traitors or those who showed their backs when their allies were still fighting. Still… Leon wasn't there to kill them; he had come to kill the harvesters, and he did that.

When Ilyana woke up, she saw a weird figure fighting five harvesters alone. Despite the odds, he was calmly facing them with his arms crossed. The next moment, after a single blink, Ilyana saw them falling on the ground without their limbs. As if that wasn't weird enough, the man who defeated them with ease didn't kill them. It only dragged their bodies toward a dungeon.

"Who are you?" Ilyana asked. "What are you going to do with them?"

"Why do you care?" Leon frowned. "You just need to know that they won't bother you anymore."

After saying that, Leon returned to the dungeon he used. Although he wanted to kill them, that would be a too good end for those assholes. So, Leon decided to find a way to use them… at least until he obtains all the power necessary to deal with all the harvesters. In any case, that was the first time Leon saw Ilyana.

Since that Leon's power was at the halfway point to the sixth stage, he couldn't hide his prisoners in any place. Earth had become a lifeless planet, that could die at any moment, but Leon still decided to hide them there because he didn't know many unhabituated planets yet.

After creating a deep underground hideout, that Leon began to work on his next spells. Although he easily managed to defeat those five guys, Leon was sure that he could increase his power by two if he succeeded in his plans. It took Leon five years of non-ending research and training, but he eventually learned and also leveled to the max level certain spells.

"Notifications again…" Leon frowned. "Regardless, it looks like I only have crazy ideas when I'm against the wall…"

Although it was weird, Leon confirmed that he could access his status screen there. Not only that, but he also received the points when those skills received those updates. It was weirdly convenient but also worrisome…
