Chapter 614

Leon's next goal was to return to Earth and help his friends. Things will get really easy if he gives them the power of the spirits, but he would have to convince his spirits first. Although things worked out when he gave them a part of Efreet's power, things would be complicated with others. It would become even troublesome when it's Sekundez, Shadow, and Rem's turn.

"After surviving this far, Ilyana won't complain if I give a hand to those who faced dragons and survived to tell the story," Leon rubbed his chin. "In any case… I need to become strong enough to deal with harvesters before returning to Earth."

"You already strong enough to do that," Sekundez said. "You can easily defeat those three the woman you call Ilyana was facing. Against those three, you will probably die, but winning in a one-on-one fight shouldn't be difficult."

Leon, after everything Leon had to experience, he was probably at the level when he could deal with harvesters like the ones who appeared on Earth. They weren't among the strongest since they were the first to arrive, but it was clear they were supposed to be way more powerful than any human on Earth.

In any case, to return as soon as possible, the only thing Leon could do was to ask for Sekundez help and make her use Accelerate alongside him to duplicate the effectiveness of the skill. Leon already had used the mithril he created from draining Shadow's mana, but now he had another massive mithril spear, thanks to Rem's stored mana.

"Before that… I wonder if it isn't a good idea to look for other fragments to increase you guys' power," Leon said. "I can't increase Sekundez power by looking for another fragment, and the same thing probably applies for Shadow and Rem, but for everyone else. It should be possible."

"Didn't you know? You can make any spirit forcefully evolve," Sekundez said. "You just have to feed them with your mana."

"Really? Ilyana never told me about that." Leon frowned.

���She probably concluded that you imagined that," Sekundez replied. "If you think about it, it is only evident that it is possible. Given the circumstances of a spirit birth, do you think we just appear on our max level?"

"No… but I heard about it that the spirits have powers according to the planet they are," Leon frowned. "But I guess that makes sense… if a spirit experiences their world reaching another stage of assimilation, that means that their potential would increase."

Although it made sense, it was quite surprising… considering that, it doesn't mean that even fragments can become as powerful as their original versions? As long as they have someone who gives them a lot of mana, their growth couldn't stop. Still… just how much mana Leon would need to sacrifice for that? Given that his replica was training his skills and learning new ones, Leon, for the time being, just have to recover enough mana to keep Accelerate and Mindscape Transportation active.

Leon wondered if just give them a massive amount of mithril would be enough for that, but as it turns out, his mana needed to be transferred to his spirits directly. Considering that was the case, Sekundez should have said that earlier. That way, Leon would have transferred Rem's mana to another spirit… However, Sekundez was a spirit who rarely talked. So, unless Leon brings certain topics, she wouldn't talk about it.

"Now that I think about it… I can gain some time just by going to another planet that is on a lower stage of the assimilation," Leon said after a long sigh. "How can I so forgetful… I'm just four hundred and twenty-two-year-old…"

There were no purple crystals in Sekundez, Shadow, or Rem's worlds. So, Leon had to use Mana Dominion again to find a suitable planet… However, after a while, he didn't find any world on the third stage of assimilation. Thanks to the mana he obtained from Rem, Leon managed to feel and analyze the mana in fifty sola systems… but he only found five planets that had mana, and all of them were on the fourth stage.

"I suppose it can't be helped…" Leon shrugged.

Finding a place where the passage of time would be ten times slower in comparison to Earth was already great, to begin with. Again, before Leon could do anything, he decided to assimilate his replica's experience.

Dragons sure had flashy names for skills. Even though Leon had memorized the moment a dragon used such a spell, it was one of those memories he could only access by using Mind Melding. In any case, before Leon could think of anything else, Shadow appeared and let out the longest sigh Leon ever heard. He didn't know if it was intentional or not, but Shadow was quick to make things depressed.

"… What a happy idiot," Shadow said. "Leon, I have a favor to ask, I want to stay in your imaginary dimension while Rem is on the outside world, and when he is there, I want to be on the outside."

"Sure, but I can't let you do what you want in the middle of important battles," Leon warned. "So, you will have to deal with other eventually."

As expected, Shadow and Rem were like water and oil. Even though that couldn't be helped, Leon didn't intend to spoil his spirits more than the necessary. So, he would count on them, even if their teamwork sucks.
