The plan was simple, Leon would lure Netro to another planet, and his lackeys would attack Earth… at least they would try. The humans would fight back as much as they could, and once Netro is far away, Ilyana would cast a spell similar to the one where the angels used on Celosie and thus cut the connection between Earth and the rest of the universe. After that, Ilyana would help the humans deal with Netro's allies.
Leon couldn't remember all that much the conversation he had with Netro, but he seemed a prideful guy. So, the chances of that happening were relatively high. The problem was to how to defeat him. The only thing Leon knew about him was that he could use summoning magic to summon being like Leon to other worlds. Since they didn't teleport to Earth, they probably didn't have the power of Shadow on their side. So, if something goes wrong, Leon would be able to run away for a few minutes.
"You never know what can happen in life…" Leon said that while he was standing on Mars.
For a moment, Leon was wondering if after surviving the plane crash, he stayed in a coma-like state and everything he experiences so far was just a dream. But if it was, that dream was the most intense dream he had… Regardless, Leon couldn't fight near Earth, not even on that solar system. So, he decided to draw Netro's attention there and then move to another planet, one that has mana.
However, such a thing didn't happen… the moment Netro felt Leon's presence, he stopped moving and then head to that planet. Meanwhile, his lackeys flew to Earth. Before he could even land, Netro raised his right arm, and then the whole scenario changed.
Leon saw himself on what seemed to be a dead planet. The skies were filled with thunder clouds, and lighting bolts were falling around endlessly. Leon also could see several volcanoes spitting magma to all sides… the ground was burned and lifeless. Leon was in a world that was in the sixth stage of assimilation… However, what made Leon think was how light the air and his body felt. That place was filled with mana, and yet, he couldn't sense any signs of life there.
Netro didn't say anything, but Leon could tell that he was already ready to fight… But instead of doing anything, Necro just gets rid of the cloak that was covering his body, and Leon saw the well-toned body of a half-dragon. That bastard had even more amazing muscles that the fake harvesters Leon met in Miebos, and he also had a reddish spear on his back.
"A magic warrior… this will be troublesome."
Leon never saw a warrior that could use summoning magic so easily, nor did he see one that could use spells like Seal and create choppers made of mithril… it was evident that fight would be much harder than Leon had imagined, but that wouldn't change anything.

Even though he was about to face the most powerful enemy he had ever fought, he didn't deactivate Mindscape Transportation… Leon would need every single stat point to defeat that guy, so he could only endure and fight as much as he could using the bare minimum of mana.
Suddenly, Netro disappeared, and without even trying to find out where he went, Leon used Teleport and appeared five kilometers above the battlefield. However, he still got hit on his back, and the next moment, Leon woke up kissing the burned soil of that planet.
"Shit… another bastard that can ignore Mana Armor."
Before Leon could even think how Netro managed to follow him so fast, he already could feel his presence behind him. Without wasting time, Leon activated Dark Aura… despite that, Netro didn't hesitate and punched Leon again.
The next moment, Leon saw himself in the middle of a volcano… those two punches nearly killed him, but Leon managed to heal himself before his body could react to all the damage caused.
"Punches… there must be a reason why he isn't using his spear."
Old habits really die hard… even though he was facing an opponent that was much faster and could ignore his magical defenses, Leon still was trying to analyze him instead of letting the surprise get the better of him. At that point in time, the fear of death wasn't something that Leon had to worry about. He only worried about how long his friends would last facing that enemy…
Leon was already using all the buffs he could use, but it wasn't enough. In order to keep his mindscape active, he couldn't let himself being hit constantly like that. It wasn't that easy to increase the scope of Mana Magnetism while he was getting his ass kicked, after all. It was a bit risky, but Leon had another buff that he didn't train or used due to its cost… it was Dragon Force.
"Here goes nothing…"
Leon activated the skill and immediately begun to feel his blood and energy boiling. That alone made Netro frown because the skill was at a low-level, so its efficacy wasn't that good yet. However, the next moment Netro charged forward, Leon jumped to the side and also grabbed the monster's arm. In a single moment, he drained twenty thousand points of health, mana, and stamina. Thanks to it… Leon canceled the damage his body received from the skill.
