Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

629 Chapter 627

Ilyana offered herself to deal with the shadowy figure, but Leon that he would deal with him. Although he was a being that could recover his energy in a matter of minutes, the mental damage he suffered was enough to make him less dangerous. Considering that Leon destroyed a massive zombie army of super-soldiers, Ilyana felt that he did enough, but that zombie had become a personal matter for Leon.

"Don't take your time. That guy probably grabbed the attention of many others," Ilyana said. "He may be useful, so don't destroy his body."

"Don't worry. He won't die…" Leon said and then used Teleportation.

At that point in time, Leon couldn't feel the presence of that bastard anymore, but Shadow could feel clearly the trail left by Teleportation since it was a spell that belonged to his realm. Leon felt a bit worried about letting Shadow teleport him around, but soon he forgot about that when he started to feel the shadowy figure's presence.

Not even in his wildest dreams, Leon imagined that he would chase someone through outer space. Yet, he couldn't feel anything while doing that. He was only focusing on increasing the scope of Mana Magnetism and recover his mana as fast as possible in order to let Shadow do his magic. The pain in his head was annoying, but the pain Leon was feeling in his chest couldn't be compared to that.

Even though the shadowy figure already mastered Teleport while Leon was still leveling it up, he soon gave up on trying to run away because Leon could compensate for that by recovering his mana faster than he actually could. Despite his previous actions, the shadowy figure looked pretty calm. If anything, he was confident that he could take Leon now that he was far away from Ilyana.

Leon analyzed that world. Judging by the mana he could feel around him, he concluded that was a lost world on the third stage of assimilation. It was a lost world because he couldn't feel any presence nearby. Most likely, all the creatures of that world died. Considering that both of them could fly, analyzing the terrain was somewhat useless, but since it already became a habit, Leon did it so anyway. However, there wasn't much to analyze. Leon could see the ruins of a fallen civilization.

"This is…" Leon muttered in surprise.

Although he only chased the shadowy figure for a few hours, he actually managed to land on Miebos. Darya's home planet. It looked like the people there only managed to survive for so long, given that the shadowy figure was working behind the scenes. Darya to protect her planet and the people who once treated her like a tool, but she failed, and that was the result.

Although Leon imagined that bastard would insult him, like any half-assed wannabe the last boss would do, he actually just teleported behind Leon. Instead of doing anything, the shadowy figure only made some mana enter his body. Leon immediately understood what he was trying to do… he was trying to create a Black Hole inside of him and destroy him from inside. However, Leon countered that by using Anti-Mana Field. Leon couldn't take down that bastard without using magic, so he soon deactivated the spell once he confirmed that he lost control over that mana.

Much to his surprise, Leon wasn't that angry anymore. In the end, he was also to blame for Darya's death. If he had let her follow him, they would have suffered a lot together. Still, they also could have become strong together… perhaps she would regret eventually doing that once she learns about the future of her world, but Leon would never be able to confirm if that would ever happen. Regardless, at times like these, the bad guy would strike a conversation, but Leon did that. That being said, Leon couldn't tell if he was in the position of being a good guy, given that he focuses solely on getting stronger and helping those he cared about.

"You did this?" Leon asked.

Ignoring Leon's question, that guy created a Black Hole, and he shot it toward Leon. Although that kind of spell would lose time, the farther it gets from the caster, its gravitational force was still enough to pull Leon's body easily. However, the projectile disappeared when it was five meters away from Leon. Shadow had absorbed it.

"Unless you use a lot more mana, you won't be able to attack me," Leon declared. "Why are you so cautious? Anyway, answer my question."

,m Leon didn't know why he was asking that. He could always read his mind once he crushes that bastard to pieces, after all. Regardless, it looked like that bastard didn't want to talk, and this time didn't feel like playing around as well. The shadowy figure raised his arm, and in the next moment, that entire world was engulfed by darkness. For a moment, Leon thought he was teleported to that guy's domain, but that didn't happen.

Once again, Leon couldn't feel that guy's presence clearly. Still, it was clear that he was still around. If he weren't, Shadow would have notified him. Before Leon could try anything, the mana created in that environment started to circle around him. He overlooked that, but the darkness that covered the world was now only covering his body.

"Darkness Execution," The shadowy figure said while smirking.

He had to use eighty percent of his mana, but the shadowy figure didn't hesitate a single bit of casting his most powerful spell. Black Holes were scary because they could suck everything, even light, but they still could be countered. However, no one would be able to counter a Black Hole if they were already in the center of it.

That shadowy figure thought his victory was assured, but he frowned because he didn't receive any coins. Rather, in that next moment, his spell dissipated, and the darkness got sucked by something that was on Leon's right side.
