"It is meaningless," Sylas replied. "I already told you, stalling for time is useless."
"Didn't you say that the future isn't set on a stone?" Leon frowned. "So, why do you think it is meaningless? If the future is uncertain, then…"
"Total Pain," Sylas pointed his right hand toward Leon and said.
Again, Leon saw his body turn into a pulp of something barely recognizable as a human body. However, he reacted on time to cancel the attack with his own Time Manipulation. Leon couldn't lose his focus because the moment he does, his body would lose the nutrients to keep itself working, and when that happens, Leon would certainly die. Although his heart was working like a magic item that could revive him again and again, it was only a matter of time until Sylas notices that. Besides, even more than before, his heart was his weak spot, so he couldn't reveal what it could do.
"I see now…" Leon smirked after recovering. "Your powers certainly improved… you used a spell that makes me feel all the pain and wounds I suffered throughout my whole life in a single instant. What a nasty spell…"
After facing his last opponents, Leon realized that he lacked imagination. Leon never thought of learning a spell like that. Come to think of it. He also should have thought of using his monsters' recovery a long time ago. If Leon had thought of that while he was training in Sekundez's dimension, perhaps he wouldn't have suffered so much as of late.
Just as Leon had expected, it came. A continuous wave of Total Pain… he tried to counter the spell by using Time Manipulation again, but he only had enough mana to reverse time for 0,200 seconds every second. It wasn't nearly enough…
Leon tried to withstand the pain of suffering that he suffered his whole life in a single moment, but his body gave up before his mind. Still, his heart didn't. Even though Leon wished that he didn't have to show that, his heart healed his body back to shape. Well, almost… he was still skin and bones since his heart could only regenerate his body only to a point where Leon himself would recover his conscience.

"This is… intriguing," Sylas muttered. "I see now… your heart has the power to resurrect you again and again… I should have expected that when I saw you surviving the first attack."
Although Leon's body would be able to endure the torment again, at that rate, his mind would give up too. It couldn't be helped, but Leon was looking at Sylas with a fed-up expression. Suffering in a single instant all the pain he endured all his life wasn't something easy. Even if his body could get healed, his mind couldn't.
"I'm tired of this shit…" Leon sighed. "I'm tired of all of you…"
Sylas frowned when he saw the cold look in Leon's eyes. Those were the eyes of someone who really have given up. Still, Sylas still felt a crazy amount of bloodthirst coming from Leon, so that didn't make any sense.
Leon used Mindscape Transportation and Summoned Perfect Replica. In a single instant, he gave the order to his other self to learn two spells. Those weren't on Ilyana's vault, so the replica would have to learn the hard way, but that much was fine. Leon was using all the mana he could to make time pass faster in his mindscape. Not only was he using the mana from the dragons he captured and from thousands of summoned monsters, but Leon was also using Mana Magnetism to his utmost limits without caring about the cost.
From two hundred thousand mana points for second, Leon begun to obtain five hundred thousand. In the blink of an eye, several days passed in his mindscape, and when Leon canceled the skill after just a couple of seconds, he received some notifications.
Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Health Link.
You obtained 01 status point.
Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Stamina Link.
You obtained 01 status point.
Sylas saw those notifications as if he had got them himself. Although he had those skills, Sylas never thought of using them the way Leon was about to do it. Rather than that, he was more interested in how Leon learned those so fast. Sylas already knew that Leon had used Mindscape Transportation, Summon Perfect Replica and Accelerate to learn them, but still… Leon learned them way too fast.
"You intrigue me," Sylas said. "As you already know, I'm the future version of Sylas… the version of a future where he survives until he reached the apex of his potential. It is only obvious that by reaching this power level, I can consider myself as someone skilled. Still… your ability to learn and control spells at your age is… incomprehensible."
"You know what planning to do, right?" Leon glared at Sylas. "And you still want to take your time talking?"
"Your current plan can't defeat me either," Sylas said. "You will need something more."
"Then I will show you something more," Leon replied after opening his vicious eyes widely.
