Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

721 Chapter 718

Although, for the time being, Leon couldn't create more than one hundred replicas, the rest of the mana he had was being used to make them move faster using Teleport. Little by little, Leon felt that his mana pool was increasing. However, before even ten of his replicas had used Absolute Mana Link, he felt their approach. Leon tried to be faster, but Ilyana, Tyrselle, and Sylas were already on their way. Leon thought of using Accelerate to buy some time, but that barely had any effect. Those three were powerful, after all.

Sylas and Tyrselle appeared in front of Leon, but Ilyana already appeared behind him and didn't waste time to hug him from behind. Although Leon saw that happening many times when he watched those memories, nothing could be compared to the real thing.

"You and your bad habit of keeping your eyes on me all the time," Leon forced a smile.

"You and your bad habit of always worrying me before you learn the truth," Ilyana said and then buried her face on Leon's back.

It was weird, Leon and Ilyana were much older than they were supposed to be, but they didn't change all that much despite their memories and the powers they obtained during all their journey.

"What is going on here?" Sylas asked, astonished. "Why did he suddenly get so much stronger?"

Future Possession was still active, but Sylas was nowhere as calm as before. Maybe it was because he finally realized the price of using such skill was too high, or perhaps he was truly scared as to why someone he could easily have defeated a few minutes ago suddenly became many times stronger.

"Just like you did with me, you also hid several things from Sylas, huh," Leon said and then glared at Tyrselle, who clearly was very annoyed. "I guess even if we restart our lives several times, all of us are bound to repeat the same mistakes over and over again."

Tyrselle could feel that Leon had recovered his memories and his powers. Not only that, but she could also feel that he was obtaining massive amounts of mana every minute. Despite all that, she couldn't act rashly. Leon and Ilyana were opponents that defeated her many times, after all. Besides, even though Leon and Ilyana had an advantage over Tyrselle and Sylas, they couldn't just go all out to kill their enemies. As they already knew, defeat her wouldn't be easy, and whatever they try to do, they will cause quite a bit of destruction.

"It looks like we lost the chance to see of a touching reunion," Sekundez suddenly said.

It was weird, but it looked like while Leon was watching the memories of his other lives, Sekundez had left to do something else, and now she returned alongside all the other spirits, probably because they had to travel quite a bit of distance.

"Eh? Eh!" Celsius shouted in surprise. "Leon is… our father? And Ilyana is our mother? What is going on here? Did Leon go senile, and now his memories are trying to fool me as well?"

"By the look of things… he isn't senile," Undine frowned. "Now, a lot of things made sense. No wonder Sekundez looked quite a bit like Ilyana."

"I think we are safe to assume that resetting the time made all of us lose our memories… temporarily," Volt rubbed his chin. "Considering that someone obviously created the whole system, it is clear that we shouldn't be that old."

"What do you mean by that, Volt?" Efreet asked.

"It means that mana was something created by someone, and considering that we are beings essentially made of mana, it wouldn't make sense that the original great spirits exist since the universe came to be," Rem added. "Considering the things we know so far, there aren't great spirits. We are the great spirits…"

"This too confusing…" Sylph closed his eyes and crossed his arms.

"Nothing is confusing," Shadow said. "If the master is also my father, then my respect for him will only increase even more."

"Mmm… since we doubt Leon's memories, there is a trigger for us to recover our memories as well, right Sekundez?" Gnome asked.

"That is right," Sekundez nodded. "While this crazy bitch is wasting time hesitating in acting, transfer some of your mana to the others. Eventually, they will remember everything."

Leon nodded and started to do that. Even though he had recovered his memories, there were things that he didn't know because some things only happened after his death. However, soon he understood what Ilyana and Serena did. Although they had the power to reset the time of all things, they would nullify several events by doing so, like the birth of all Leon and Ilyana's kids. To prevent that from happening, Serena and the other kids decided to change their physical forms. They became a part of Ilyana's spirit.

p Just like Leon suddenly had new ideas for skills and spells in the past, their existence would eventually come to be once Ilyana reaches a certain level of power. That was probably the trigger that would make her remember everything as well. Regardless, since Ilyana also wanted to let her kids interact with their father as much as possible, she made up that whole story of the great spirits and put those rumors in the head of several people Leon met. In the end, there were no lesser spirits or great spirits.

"Ilyana… can you please move away from me for a bit?" Leon said, looking a bit uncomfortable. "Even though you are not showing your face, I can feel your drool on my back. Besides, now that you are not using your powers on me again…"

The holy sword was standing uncontrollably… that was something Leon couldn't say out loud in front of so many witnesses. Much less in front of his kids… it doesn't matter how much older they were. Certain things shouldn't be done, no matter what. Besides, it was time to solve things with Tyrselle once and for all.
