Chapter 659

For the first time in quite a while, Leon felt refreshed. He thought that he would feel empty after having his revenge, but much for his surprise, that hadn't been the case. He defeated a being that caused so many problems for him and caused so many human deaths that he actually felt proud of it. However, Leon only avenged himself… now, he had to avenge his parents' death by helping Ilyana kill the woman who summoned the dragons.

"Mmm… learning new spells is being more difficult than I thought," Leon rubbed his chin. "I guess it is easier to become more powerful. Just level up the skills one already has instead of looking for new and more useful ones."

That kind of thought was exactly that that made Leon win the battle against Netro, so he had to learn from his opponent's mistakes and not repeat them. So far, considering the memories he obtained from Netro, it looked like his life was a process of endless grinding. Netro was quite certain that his conceptual attacks were everything that he needed to. He just leveled up all the skills that had a low cost up to the max level in order to increase their raw power.

In any case, even though he didn't want to repeat that, Leon needed to learn the secret behind Netro's conceptual attacks, but it was getting hard for his replica to find those memories. Although he could just try to replicate the memories and feelings Netro had in the middle of the battle, it would be better if Leon finds the first memories related to that… that way, Leon would be able to customize it.

"Maybe I'm focusing too much on that… I didn't even learn the trick that guy used against me, after all."

By that guy, Leon was talking about the human who took the rat-men with him. That guy could use Anti-Mana Field in a way that Leon couldn't do it and forcefully ignore all magic defenses. Leon was quite certain that he could learn it if he makes his replica train that for a while, but then again… all he mana he could gather was being used to speed up the passage of time inside his mindscape.

"The final battle is approaching… but I guess I can talk with my friends for a little bit and see how they are holding up," Leon muttered.

Just a few hours had passed on Earth since the end of the battle, so Leon would probably arrive while his friends buried the humans who died. It wasn't a good time to visit, so he decided to use Telepathy.

"Hey… how are you guys?" Leon asked after creating a link between his, Hector, Amanda, and Maya's mind.

"Leon?" Hector asked.

"Leon?" Amanda asked.

"You…" Maya said, visibly annoyed.

For a moment, those three frowned because they didn't expect to hear their voices like that. However, given that Leon had managed to create a group call using Telepathy, they eventually accepted that… even though they had never seen someone using Telepathy like that.

"Sorry, I couldn't help because I was busy dealing with someone who caused a lot of problems to me in the past," Leon said.

"Mmm? You didn't help us?" Hector asked, surprised. "Then, who he healed our people?"

"It was the person who is working with me," Leon replied. "That person is quite shy, but an ally. Although maybe it is not the time to say this, given that many died, but I have to congratulate you on surviving this battle. That being said, only a part of the problem had been solver… eventually, more troublesome individuals will come to Earth. So, you guys will need to keep training hard."

"Is that so…" Hector said and then sighed.

"May I ask about what you were doing while we were fighting for our planet?" Maya asked, still visibly annoyed.

"Maya…" Amanda sighed.

"Sure… it was the guy who summoned me to another world," Leon replied. "He was the leader of the group of dragonewts, so it took me some time to defeat him… In fact, I almost died hundreds of times."

"So, that really happened…" Amanda said.

"Well, for the time being, we are fine, but…" Leon said.

"No, I was talking about something else," Amanda said. "A few days ago, Yuki asked about the registers that we have on human history since the monsters appeared. We indeed had some documents, and we sent those to her, and while he also asked for the copies of their registers… there we found information about you and how you suddenly disappeared."

"Well… let's not dwell on the past too much," Leon said. "Just celebrate this victory while you can and prepare accordingly because not even my ally can tell when the next battle is going to happen. I can't say that the shadowy figure or Netro were the ones pulling the strings of all the things that caused so many deaths on Earth, so keep improving is a must."

In the end, Leon decided to stop there because it was evident that they were tired and were forcing themselves to be amicable enough, considering that they saw many people dying due to the dragonewts.

Regardless, Leon still had to pass the message to the others despite that because things would only become even more difficult in the future… they might die in the next battle. Still, it was clear that humanity was one step closer of getting free from the greed of the harvesters.
