702 Chapter 699
Leon was by far, the least skilled of his family. When it comes to time magic, that was even more visible. Still, despite all that, when it comes to crazy and destructive ways to strengthen himself, Leon was the best. Probably in the whole universe, she didn't have any regard for caring about his well-being.
Although Leon didn't see his alternated version practicing that skill, by the look of things, he did it when he was meditating and without even using Mindscape Transportation. He had the idea in his head, but since it was a dangerous spell, he didn't want to show it to Ilyana and Serena since they were both more skilled than him, and the effects of such technology would be even more deadly on them.
Suddenly, that Leon's body begun to gather a lot of mana. Both Ilyana and Serena frowned when they saw that because the mana levels in his body reached a point they never saw before. Even the black-haired woman didn't try to stop Leon. Instead, she observed him with great interest.
As if that wasn't weird enough, that Leon's body begun to change… his body begun to look as if it was losing its physical form, but at some point, it stopped. That Leon's body looked transparent… as if he was a ghost.
"That technique…" Leon muttered, shocked. "It was Sylas'…"
Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Alternative Future Possession
Cost: 1.000.000 mana per second
You obtained 01 status point.
Leon frowned when he saw that notification. Then he realized that it wasn't the same skill that Sylas had used. It was an even more insane version of it. The glow in that Leon's eyes didn't change, so it was clear that he didn't have forgotten about anything. Regardless, when the knowledge entered his head, Leon opened his eyes widely in surprise… that skill not only could grant Leon the power and abilities of a future version of himself, but he also could customize that version to his liking. For example, if Leon needed a near infinite reservoir of mana, he could wish to summon a version of himself that would train until the day he obtains all the skills and levels them up to max level while he also created a massive reservoir of mana every single day during that happens.
The cost of mana couldn't even be compared to Leon's body's cost would have to pay. Since it was a possession, the real Leon wouldn't obtain the power to himself. It was an insane but temporary power boost. Although the power was temporary, Leon would sacrifice his lifespan for it. If he could live for ten thousand years and obtain that power, he would need to train and fight for nine thousand. He would lose those nine thousand years in a single instant.
"Well, if anything, this is the skill I was looking for," Leon smirked.
Sacrificing lifespan was something that Leon was already doing on a daily basis. So, he wouldn't mind in dying soon after using such a skill, as long as he defeats his opponents. Regardless, since Ilyana and Serena knew very well about time magic, she understood that skill's effects. That had been enough to calm down those two hot-blooded fools.
"Leon…" Ilyana muttered in shock.
"Father… Why?" Serene asked.
"Because I'm your cool father," Leon smirked. "And because I would rather die than see any of you dying before me."
"Don't speak such nonsense!" Ilyana shouted.
"I'm not done yet," that Leon said. "Once we defeat this woman, let's make more babies. Serena looks the type who wants to be the eldest daughter of a big family. So, how about… eight more kids?"
"Shut up, idiot!" Ilyana said, and then looked away, a bit embarrassed. "Don't say such a thing in front of your enemy and soon after using such a stupid technique."
"Gross…" Serena said, visibly displeased and while frowning. "Don't say such a thing in front of your daughter."
That Leon laughed loudly after hearing their responses. Despite the situation, he was really enjoying himself. At the very least, if he dies there, he wouldn't die, leaving a dark atmosphere behind.
"So awkward…" Leon covered his face with both arms and then sighed. "To think I would become such an idiot just by becoming a father… Someone, please kill the fool. The universe will be better without him."
The black-haired woman watched that whole exchange while furrowing her eyebrows. She thought that a fool was trying to defeat her and soon lost all interest in the fight by the look of things. In the blink of an eye, she summoned thousand of dragons and gave them the order to finish off those worms, but much to her surprise. The very moment the dragons appeared, they began to fall and hit the ground. After a while, she saw their eyes and nose bleeding.
Congratulations! You have become a Level one Armageddon Sorcerer!
Your mana and intelligence will increase by twenty points, your stamina, health, recovery, and control will increase by ten points whenever you level up your class.
"You… you destroyed their brains without using an ordinary spell," The black-haired said, a bit surprised. "Interesting…"
"Interesting?" that Leon frowned. "I wouldn't find it interesting to see someone killing my pets."
"They weren't my pets; they were merely tools…" The black-haired woman said and then tried to replica the same skill Leon used but then failed. "You ignore the whole process of attacking them directly… you somehow just destroyed their brains. Can you show it to me again?"
Suddenly, the black-haired woman summoned a black dragon. In fact, it looked exactly like the first that had fallen on the ground, and Leon understood that she had used Mind Summoning.
