Chapter 682

Sylas finally understood that Leon was an enemy that he couldn't fight while holding back. He had too many tricks up his sleeve, and even though before he looked hesitant, now he had lost all restraint and would do everything to obtain power.

For some odd reason, Sylas began to look at Leon in the eyes. His eyes were fixed on Leon's pupils, and he wasn't showing any emotion. That was creepy as hell, but such a thing was the least of Leon's worries when he felt his mana being drained at a fearsome rate. Although his Mind Armor was at the level max, it wasn't stopping Sylas from doing whatever he was doing. Still, it didn't take long for Leon to see what Sylas was doing. Leon tried to read his mind only to see that Sylas himself was also reading his mind at a fearsome rate.

"Son of a bitch…" Leon clenched his teeth and then immediately created a fist-size Dark Sun.

Congratulations! You have become a Level one Sunlord!

Your strength and intelligence will increase by twenty points, your stamina, health, mana, and control will increase by ten points whenever you level up your class.

However, before Leon could attack, Sylas finished his mind-reading. Unlike Leon's power, he only accessed the visual memories inside Leon's head. Sylas didn't try to find the secret of his powers. Instead of that, he was looking for a certain moment in his life… Although he couldn't use time magic alongside other elements, Sylas could use it alongside other skills.

Leon didn't know what Sylas was planning, but he didn't have to wait for it. Leon used Teleport and appeared behind Sylas, but before he could attack, Leon felt a shiver. He jumped back since he felt that his life was in danger, but that didn't change a thing. Leon's lower and upper body still got separated.

"What…" Leon muttered in shock.

Immediately, Leon used Full-Recover. However, before he could even land, his body got cut again. Once again, he healed himself, but the same thing happened again. That was insane. It was the same attack Netro used, but much faster and frequent.

Congratulations! You have become a Level one Healer!

Your mana and intelligence will increase by four points, your stamina, health, recovery, and control will increase by two points whenever you level up your class.

Congratulations! You have become a Level one Medic!

Your mana and intelligence will increase by six points, your stamina, health, recovery, and control will increase by three points whenever you level up your class.

Their positions have inverted. Now Sylas was the one who was smiling. Leon knew that he could use time magic alongside some other special types of magic, but he couldn't explain how Sylas copied and even improved Netro's attack to such an extent and in such a short time.

The very moment Leon healed himself was the moment he got cut again. That happened many times. To make matters worse, the pain wasn't getting any weaker. Leon tried to attack Sylas with a rain of Plasma Bullets, but his spell was canceled every time he tried. The pain didn't let him concentrate. In that state, he couldn't do anything else. Besides, if he tries something complex, Leon might lose the chance to heal himself.

However, Leon understood that heal himself wouldn't solve the problem. So, he suddenly stopped healing, and the attacks stopped. At the same time, he covered both the damaged areas of his lower and upper body in a thick layer of ice to stop the bleed. The pain decreased a little, and for some reason, Sylas didn't try to repeat the same attack in other areas of Leon's body.

"I see now…" Leon muttered while he was sweating cold. "You are using something like Wound Memory… a variation of time magic that makes my body feel the same wound that I suffered at a specific point in time."

"Wow… you really think fast," Sylas said, visibly impressed. "You are also quite brave… not many people would abandon half of their bodies to solve a problem like this. Still… I wonder for how long you can survive."

Leon didn't abandon his lower half, nor did he intend to die like that, but for the time being, it was the only thing he could do. Some of his internal organs cut split in two, so Leon would have to worry if he wanted to reattach them without any issues.

Congratulations! You have become a Level one Viking!

Your strength and health will increase by six points, your speed, stamina, mana, and endurance will increase by three points whenever you level up your class.

Maybe it was because of the madness of wanted to fight in such a state, but Leon received that notification. Although hoping for that was a bit too much, Leon wished that he had received a notification more useful than that. However, thanks to that notification, Leon managed to calm down and notice that suddenly, Sylas relaxed. He didn't lower his guard, but Sylas looked far less tense than before.

"Most likely,… even though he can use and even improve the attacks his target suffered, he still needs to concentrate a lot to replicate such phenomena."

Knowing that was good and all since it was a sign that Sylas couldn't use such a technique easily, but Leon couldn't think of a way to counter him just using that information. However, he had another idea… it was insane, but at that point in time, Leon couldn't do anything else to surprise Sylas.

Sylas took his usual fighting stance in order to use his fists to finish off Leon. Maybe it was because he was prideful or because he didn't want to spend much more mana form his boss, but he decided to fight like that since his opponent was weakened. Leon bit his lips and prepared himself because things would get messy, even if he succeeds.
