Unlimited Power: The Arcane Path - Chapter 679

Leon had planned to take his time building his mana pool by absorbing the mana from all the dragons his replicas could find. However, suddenly, his mana decreased by one hundred points without him doing anything, and Leon could tell that one of his friends just got hit by something so dangerous that they could have taken their lives. Leon used Clairvoyance and confirmed that when he saw Maya flying at the center of a massive crater, Leon couldn’t even see the bottom. Her face was pale as a ghost because she couldn’t understand how she survived that attack.

A few hundred meters above her, Leon saw a winged creature flying. He recognized those wings, those long yellow hair, and the eyes’ color, but he didn’t recognize that angel. It was a female, or at least it looked like one. The weapon that she was holding was also vastly different from the others. It was… a pistol. However, Leon could feel the same aura he felt coming from those six that he killed.

“Death will be too good of an end for you,” Leon said to the female angel via telepathy.

Leon couldn’t create another replica to solve that problem, so he used Teleport and left Sylas alone for the time being. In New Mexico, Leon appeared and didn’t find any other presences nearby aside from Maya and the angel. By looking at things, she was forced to split up with Hector and Amanda since they were facing other powerful foes.

“You…” Maya said, surprised when Leon suddenly appeared.

“Go help your parents and don’t leave their side until the battle is over,” Leon said. “I will deal with her.”

“I can help,” Maya said. “Don’t treat me like someone useless.”

That wasn’t his intention. Leon just didn’t want to show Maya what he was going to do. Regardless, Leon could feel Sylas approaching, so he didn’t have time to argue. Besides, Leon could feel a lot of mana being sucked by that pistol, and if that weapon was what caused that hole, Leon couldn’t let it be charged.

Shadow probably could deal with that angel on its own, considering the affinity of their attributes, but since Leon had split his spirits among his replicas, he couldn’t do that at the moment. Leon wouldn’t be able to keep those spells active, not even for a second without healing himself, but he activated Dragon Force, Dragon Mode, Dragon Soul, Dragon Heart, and Dragon Aura. For a fraction of a second, Leon’s appearance changed, a tail appeared in his body, and dark wings grew from his back. Two horns were on his forehead… Leon looked like a dragon himself… or so, Maya thought. When she blinked again, Leon was back to normal, and the angel that almost killed her was falling from the skies, unconscious and without her limbs.

Leon grabbed the body of the angel and immediately used Mana Link on her. However, before he could use the other skills necessary, Leon felt the pain of changing his body more than he could. His muscles started to get ripped apart, and some of the veins of his body exploded. Before something could happen with his brain or heart, Leon utilized Full-Recover many times. Fortunately, he saved himself, but his body was still covered in blood, and of course, he had lost some weight.

“What happened to you…” Maya frowned. “What did you do to her?”

“He is coming…” Leon said. “Help your parents and be careful. This time, they might die… don’t let that happen.”

Leon ignored Maya’s question and teleported her away. After that, he used Mind Melding to seal away all the memories of the angel. Leon also used Mind Control and put her under an illusion that will never end. She will sleep until the day of her death, or until Leon dies.

“I can’t hide her on Ilyana’s planet…” Leon muttered. “Come to think of it. I can make those I capture given me mana even faster. I just have to give them the knowledge of how to use Mana Magnetism.”

Leon felt as if he was about to cross a line he wasn’t supposed to. Not only he intended to use the angel as a tool to fuel his mana, but he was also about to literally transform that being into something that could would exist only to do a single thing. There wasn’t much difference when it comes down to it, but Leon couldn’t help but feel that way.

In the end, Leon decided to do it. He already had made many sacrifices; he was even sacrificing his lifespan to get more mana. So, Leon only hesitated for a couple of minutes. After sealing away, the angel memories, Leon gave her a new conscience. One that sole purpose was to use Mana Magnetism.
