Although Leon defeated their boss, he couldn't get carried away since he only managed to do that because he made Netro nervous and not think straight. In terms of raw strength, Leon was still light-years behind Netro, but now that his replica was working on the dragon's memories, he was certain that he would become much stronger.

"My replica didn't even finish analyzing the memories of the shadowy bastard, and Netro was probably even older, but… Oh, well. I should feel happy now that I have two free sources of skills."

According to Ilyana, those eight dragonewts were as strong as the shadowy figure. Leon got a bit stronger since that fight, but it still was hard to imagine he could kill in one shot one of them. Although not as powerful as Netro, they were still dragons… In any case, Leon had to kill them as fast as possible in order to free Ilyana. Maybe the dragonewts wouldn't help because they probably need to maintain their positions to keep the spell active, but Leon wouldn���t bet on that. Besides, even if that were necessary, Leon would bet that those goons could also create replicas of themselves if he could.

Leon hoped that his replica would have learned how to use Absolute Accuracy, but things wouldn't be so simple as expected. He also could order his replica to absorb the skill, but then if he does that, Leon would miss several pieces of information not so deeply related to that skill. So, it was better to avoid that.

In the end, Leon decided to fool his enemies instead of crushing them. He didn't have time, and he certainly didn't have the spell to kill one of them in a single moment, after all. So, after using Transform, Leon assumed Netro's appearance and approached one of the dragonewts. Leon couldn't say or tell who was among them the easiest one to fool, but he picked the one who had the less mana of the group. Perhaps that was the youngest, it was hard to tell, and Leon had to bet on one of them anyway.

"Oh! Lord Netro!" A red dragonewt said, a little bit surprised. "You took your time defeating that creature, but as expected, despite your worries, he didn't cause many problems for you."

"Yes… how is the plan going?" Leon asked.

"Everything is going according to the plan," The red dragonewt replied. "The humans are facing half of our numbers and being helped by the unknown being you mentioned. However, they didn't notice that our trap is slowing down their notion of time."

"Good… it is time for us to…" Leon said, but then he stopped when the barrier has begun to tremble.

Just like the dimension created by Sekundez, that barrier created by the group of dragons begun to crash like glass, and then suddenly Leon felt Ilyana's presence growing stronger… he also could feel that she was super mad, probably because she fell for the enemies' trap.

In the end, the barrier disappeared completely when Leon felt that one of the dragonewt had died. The poor bastard didn't last even a second facing Ilyana. Leon shrugged and grabbed the red dragonewt by the head before exploding it using Dark Sun.

Again, in the blink of an eye, two dragonewts died thanks to Ilyana. The others tried to run, but Ilyana and Leon gave chase to them. It was a pity killing the enemies that could have so many spells and useful information, but they couldn't risk capturing them when their numbers were high. They fooled Ilyana once so that they couldn't underestimate them.

They caused quite a bit of trouble since they were dragons, and they could use all their power just to run away, but Leon and Ilyana ended up killing all of them before they could even leave the solar system. Leon killed only two while Ilyana killed six… Leon even managed to see Ilyana grabbing one of the dragonewts by the neck. Then the creature simply became dust after that… as expected, Ilyana also knew some conceptual attacks.

"So, you actually fell for the enemies' trap," Leon said using Telepathy. "That is really unexpected…"

"… This wasn't supposed to…" Ilyana hesitated, and that made Leon frown. "It is nothing… I dropped my guard."

Leon decided to check his friends' presence just to be sure, and they were still fighting against the eight remaining dragonewts. No… they were fighting against only three. His friends looked pretty tired, but they were very much alive. Leon could tell that many humans died, but they still managed to hold on to their own without his help.

It was risky, but Leon decided to let his friends finish their own job. They would need that kind of battle experience if they wanted to keep growing physically and mentally. Besides, it was clear that those dragonewts couldn't use conceptual attacks or attack others with suns. In the end, the three remaining dragons died fighting a few days later because they knew they wouldn't be able to escape while Leon and Ilyana were watching.
