While Leon was looking and walking around, the skill he just got was leveling up like crazy. He got a little stronger training with his friends and eating dragon hearts every day, so he understood that was gravity trap was more dangerous than it looked like. Usually, flying monsters were very light, but they also don't have many muscles, so their capability of resisting that skill was low.
Small monsters wouldn't be a threat against guys that can fly and use Telekinesis, but Leon knew how hard it was to control big living things. However, the heavier the monster, the harder time it would get moving so close to the ground due to gravity.
"Still, wouldn't it be better to use this trap to kill all the monsters once and for all? Why let a spell that drains the planet's mana keep working forever?"
It was like sweeping under the rug. Regardless, if those guys were smart enough to make their whole population adept of magic to the point where they can create such a humongous city much above the grounds, they must have a reason…
"No plants or vegetation above and no plants or vegetation below… it is like I'm in a dystopian world. Speaking of which… I wonder what that stone on their foreheads does. It stores vast amounts of mana, or it just amplifies their power?"
Leon was quite interested in why they had that, but once he thought about it, it became kind of obvious that was something they came up with to survive. Either if that stone stored mana or increased their powers, they would have an easy time defeating monsters if that was something they always had. Leon concluded that they implated that in themselves and kind of forced their bodies to evolve… since they divided the world into two parts, it was evident that they did some harsh things to survive.
"No animals and no monsters so far… no signs of corpses or bones either. It looked like the problems we faced a few years ago; they faced several decades ago. Yeah, I'm wasting time here. I should just fly and occasionally use the wind to show the terrain below me."
Although Leon could see that he was stepping in some destroyed technologic devices, they were damaged beyond recognition. Besides, it wasn't like Leon was some kind of genius who would make them work so easily. The chances of him finding something useful were close to none, so it was better to give up and just search while flying. Leon was slowly adapting himself to gravity, but he couldn't adapt to the poison.
Just when Leon thought of that, he heard the sound of some objects hissing through the air at fearsome speeds. Activating Mana Armor on time, Leon managed to avoid any damage, but the wave of attacks didn't stop. His mana was decreasing at fearsome speed, despite that, Leon had time to see the objects that almost hit him.
"Stone knives?"
Leon frowned, those easily broke after being hit against his Mana Armor. Besides, they weren't being controlled by Telekinesis. Looking at the directions the attacks came from, Leon fired a wave of wind to dispel the mist, and then he saw them. They had humanoid forms, but they had awesome bodies and bulging muscles. They looked like humans, but all of them were at least two meters tall, and their skin was dark-blue. Leon saw that one had boobs, and the other hadn't… a man and a woman looked at him surprised.
"They… don't look like monsters... Another sentient species of this world?"
Either way, it didn't matter. Those two tried to attack Leon, and he wasn't that forgiving… still, Leon decided to spare them for the sake of information. Still, before Leon could do anything, those two ran away.
"Not happening… you guys owe me an annoyance fee."
Despite the gravity trap, those two were fast, very fast. Leon only managed to catch up with them because he used gravity on himself to cancel the effects of the trap and also used it to slow them down. Leon created earth and tried to cover their bodies with it to turn into steel eventually. But when he did that, they dispersed the earth with a single movement of their body parts Leon was trying to cover.
"What the… are they stronger than William, Sanchez, and Alisson? Well, I'm in another world who have a lot more experience in dealing with monsters, so that is kind of obvious."
If Leon couldn't stop them the usual way, the only way was to do it with brute strength. Still, when Leon tried to knock them down with Earth Punches, they only suffered some scratches.
Those two recognized that they wouldn't be able to outrun Leon, so they prepared to fight. Suddenly, a spear and a bow appeared in their hands. Those were magic weapons that had the same power as Leon's katana.
"I should buy some time first…"
They were faster than Leon, but the closer they got, the slower they became. So, Leon could react on time. Still, they weren't that patient. As soon as their weapons appeared, the woman nocked a gray arrow and the man charger forward, but they stopped when two Ice Pillars flew toward them. The man managed to destroy Leon's attack suffering only a few scratches, but the woman didn't have the same luck. She didn't have the same strength, and she couldn't dodge the attack, so she used her bow and arms to defend herself. In the end she suffered enough damage to break her arms entirely and knock her down.
