427 Chapter 426
"One hour passed since I noticed their arrival, so only six minutes passed on Earth," Ilyana said. "However, you won't be able to pursue them. You will only find them near their targets. It looks like the people of your world managed to discover a way to find them, but considering that they returned now of all times..."
"It means that they can keep their skills hidden to some extent," Leon said. "They probably learned a specialized version of Mind Armor that can hide only the skills they wanted to choose in order to fool their opponents."
"That is right, even if you have a max level at Appraisal, you won't be able to identify them," Ilyana explained. "The only way for you to find them is to use this."
Suddenly a tome appeared on Ilyana's hands. It looked like she had absolute control over space magic. She could take things out of the space she stored stuff at will, even while she was creating her elementals...
"You store the tomes of the skills you already have?" Leon frowned.
"No, I created this tome," Ilyana smiled.
"You... what?" Leon asked, astonished.
"Anyone can create tomes, you know, there is no reason to be so shocked," Ilyana said. "You just have to have the skill you want to transcript to the tome at the max level and then pass a copy of your memories of the said skill to the tome. Of course, you won't receive the skill at the max level, and you will use it under the common restrictions those skills have."
Leon was even more shocked that anyone could create tomes, that being said, the requirements to make them weren't something that anyone was able to replicate. All of Leon's skills were under the level four hundred, after all.
"... What do you want in exchange for that?" Leon asked.
"You are cautious as ever..." Ilyana sighed. "Just go to your planet and finish your business as fast as you can. I will feel like I wasted my time if, in four hundred years, you don't obtain the strength to annoy even a single harvester. That is all."
Ilyana tossed the tome to Leon, and then the tome suddenly disappeared when he touched it.
Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Eyes of the Truth.
Cost: 50 mana per second.
Considering that it was just a skill to obtain information, the cost to keep it active was quite high. Leon felt like testing on Ilyana, but he decided not to do it. The last thing he needed was to anger someone who could do so many things using mana alone.
"Well... thanks," Leon said. "I will return as soon as I can."
Leon used Transfer and then left the castle in a hurry. Considering everything that Leon knew, the targets of the terrorists were obvious. They would attack Japan and Australia since it wasn't possible to enter Amanda and Hector's city without their consent.
Although Leon wanted to get rid of those bastards himself, it was a better idea to inform Yuki and whoever was leading the people in Australia. Since both nations were allies, Yuki probably had the means to contact the leader of Australia directly. So, as soon as Leon returned to Earth, he flew to Japan. Two hours later and after consuming a few parts of his mithril breastplate, Leon arrived at Yuki's palace. However, it was 02:00 AM.
"Well, now, what should I do? Invade the castle in the middle of the night was a crime. If Leon decides to enter Yuki's room, he would be hunt down by every single Japanese soldier."
Leon had to find a way to make Yuki appear there in order to avoid future problems, but he had to make sure that she would come no matter what. Leon decided to use Sonic Scream. In the end, he went too far and broke several windows. But at least several guards, Yuki and even Ren came.
"What a simp..."
Although Leon thought that, he was a bit jealous of Ren's position. At least Ren could feel in act considering his feelings and desires toward women, while Leon couldn't do any of that. The holy sword was sealed, and he was almost thirty-five and didn't show any interest in any single woman over a decade. Just thinking about that was so depressing to the point where Leon could feel like sniffling.
"Who are you?" Yuki asked.
"... It is me, Leon," Leon said after noticing that he looked much different now since he wasn't covered in dirt, sweat, and blood. "I came to give you an alert, they are returning, and you must warn your allies on Australia."
"Ah... you. Who is coming back?" Yuki asked.
"The terrorists that exploded several people," Leon said. "However, you must not attack them. I will deal with those bastards myself."
"What did you say?" Yuki said, a bit surprised and, at the same time, mad.
"How do you know that? And why shouldn't we kill them on the spot?" Ren asked, surprised.
"A... friend of mine told me," Leon hesitated a little bit. "You shouldn't attack them because they might use innocent people again and because I want to interrogate them."
