Chapter 693

For some reason, that Leon didn't know any summoning spells. So, the only thing he could do considering the utility of Health, Mana, and Stamina Link was to capture dragons and use those spells on them. However, that Leon also didn't have any spells that could control the mind of monsters. Although that Leon could make intelligent beings stay unconscious for long periods of time just by letting those spells active on them, the same thing couldn't be applied to dragons. Even though harvesters could defeat most dragons, those creatures have an indomitable will. After trying to leave a dragon unconscious just by using those spells and failing, that Leon concluded that he needed to learn something less destructive.

"I guess even an alternate version of me is also a muscle head," Leon laughed for a short time. "It took him and me a very long time to try different spells like Mind Control or even using illusions."

Leon didn't think of that because he lacked time to do it, but that Leon decided to look and investigate races of monsters and even intelligent beings that were particularly talented at using illusions and spells that directly affect the mind. Although that was a roundabout way to do things, it was necessary. Besides, the harvesters wouldn't suddenly vanish. The path of destruction they would leave behind was easy to find. Besides, that Leon knew that he lacked strength. There was always someone above and stronger, after all.

After some years of search, Leon found the vestiges of a race that could fly even without mana. Although their bodies were weak since their only source of food was their moons' light, they were particularly good at using spells that affected the mind. Leon had a hard time finding vestiges and any registers of their powers since they all had died, he had even a harder time trying to translate their language, but eventually, he succeeded.

After confirming that those spells could turn even the wildest dragon into a lifeless doll, Leon resumed his work of searching for harvesters. He only truly stopped when he found monsters that had a lot of mana and recovery because those were what he needed the most. In any case, after a few months, Leon found another planet in the middle of the fifth stage, and this time he found three harvesters fighting Ilyana. That was weird since it wasn't her planet.

"You…" Ilyana frowned, imagining that Leon might also join the enemy side and fight her.

Leon didn't recognize those harvesters, but he could feel that they were a bit stronger in comparison to the others he fought before. That would be not easy… unless that Leon works alongside Ilyana.

"Shall I lend you a hand?" Leon asked. "If you accept my terms, I don't mind helping you."

"Your timing is too convenient…" Ilyana glared at Leon.

"So what?" Leon shrugged. "We don't have all day, and I don't need to explain why I only appeared now. If you are that scared of me backstabbing you, just don't show your back."

Ilyana understood that Leon was right. That stranger saw her unconscious before and didn't try to kill her, so what would he gain by trying that now while she was awake? Regardless, Ilyana was used to fighting outnumbered, so it wouldn't surprise her if anything happens.

"Just don't get in my way," Ilyana said.

"Likewise," Leon suddenly appeared at her side. "By the way, don't kill them. They will be part of my collection."

The three harvesters who watched their exchange silently finally recognized Leon as another enemy, so they readied themselves to fight. Leon was quite interested in the fighting style of those harvesters. At that point in time, he was obsessed with learning new things and try to perform them, but much to his surprise, the fast forward suddenly activated.

"Don't fast forward at such a time…" Leon sighed.

Since he didn't receive any notification, Leon assumed that the battle hadn't been all that important. Regardless, the fast-forward only stopped when that Leon was already transporting the unconscious harvesters to his hideout.

"I agree in letting you take them to wherever you want to," Ilyana said. "But what exactly are you going to do with them?"

Truth to be told, that Leon didn't feel like answering Ilyana's questions. He helped her because he would kill two stones with one bird, and she also got something out of it. Still, that Leon concluded that if she wasn't a harvester herself, Ilyana could prove to be useful in some other way.

"Give me some interesting piece of information, and I will answer you," Leon said.

Ilyana frowned when she heard that. Still, at the very least, he wasn't a stranger who wanted to help her solely for his good reasons. Although Ilyana wasn't fond of someone so greedy, it was better than not knowing what he wanted. In the end, Ilyana taught him how to use mithril, and he explained how he would use those harvesters as batteries. Of course, Ilyana frowned once again when she heard that. Harvesters were the worst type of assholes, but they deserved quick death instead of being used like that.

"It looks like that Ilyana was quite naïve… even though she lived for hundreds of years as well," Leon muttered. "In any case, I completely didn't notice that this alternate version of me didn't know how to produce mithril… what a useless guy. Well, the current me only learned how to create it thanks to Darya, so perhaps I'm no better."
