Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

"We have a problem," Ilyana said via Telepathy.

"That doesn't surprise me… something always happens when I decide something important," Leon said after a long sigh. "What is it?"

"I detected a group of harvesters approaching Earth," Ilyana replied. "They are stronger than the small fries we faced so far… and I don't think you are ready to face their leader."

"You already know who the leader is?" Leon asked, visibly surprised.

"Yes… it is the dragonewt that summoned you to Miebos," Ilyana hesitated a little bit. "His name is Netro, and fifteen more dragonewts are following him."

Leon's body started to burn. Thanks to that bastard, many people on Earth died in terrorist attacks. Thanks to that son of a bitch… his friends didn't remember him anymore. Still, the last thing Leon needed at that moment was to let the rage control his body.

"Most likely, Netro felt the effects of your rampage and recognized your mana," Ilyana explained. ��Since he is leading the attack and is coming alongside all his allies, he probably recognized your potential and came to destroy you before you become a real threat personally."

"What are our chances?" Leon asked.

"I divide harvesters into three groups…" Ilyana suddenly appeared and then crossed her arms. "There are the advanced, the intermediate, and the lesser harvesters. Netro is among the second group, so I can deal with him, but the others are almost reaching that stage… putting in simple terms, they are as strong as the guy you defeated."

Leon nodded… Earth was about to be invaded by beings with the same level of power as the guy who caused many problems to Leon. He couldn't face all of them by himself. Maybe Ilyana could, but by the look on her face, if she goes too far, other harvesters would come to Earth after making a few preparations, and those would be as powerful as her… The human race wasn't ready to face, not even a single Ilyana, much less a few dozens of her.

"We will have to rely on the people on Earth…" Leon massaged his eyebrows.

"Yes, there is no other way," Ilyana nodded. "Your friends didn't have a lot of time to prepare or even practice the power of the spirits all that much, so you should help them while you can. Since they are in different parts of the world, they won't have to deal with all of Netro's forces at the same time, but even two of them would cause a lot of trouble to each camp."

Suddenly, Hector, Amanda, Maya, Gisela, Lennart, Tom, Yuki, Ren, and even Betty and Sasha were teleported to that world. At the same time, Ilyana disappeared. There was no time for explanations, so Leon just transported them to his mindscape and used Telepathy to make his replica do whatever he needed to do.

"I just they don't hate me after this training…" Leon bit his lips. "Well, as long as they stay alive, I don't mind if they hate me. Everyone, I'm counting on you, do whatever you need to increase the chances of survival of my friends."

After saying that, Leon transported all his spirits to his mindscape. It would be a bit too much to hope for that they would learn and make all elemental resistances, immunities, and absorptions reach the max level, but Leon would do everything in his power to make that happen.

Leon began to focus, and then in the blink of an eye, he expanded the scope of his Mana Magnetism to its utmost limits that his mind could support. Leon felt like something was trying to open a hole in his head with the precision and delicacy of a stone crusher. Still, he endured that because he was recovering one hundred thousand mana points per second, and thanks to that, time will pass one hundred thousand times faster in his mindscape. One second, in reality, would be more than a full day there…

"Are you planning to sit this one out?" Ilyana asked. "If you are planning to fight, I would suggest decreasing the amount of mana you are using."

"Thanks for worrying about me, but I don't want to take any chances," Leon replied. "If they die, I won't have any reason to keep fighting. I'm not a good person who can must all its power and determination to save strangers or a world full of them. I can only do that while people I care about are still among them."

Leon wasn't young anymore to feel embarrassed by saying that kind of thing, but his back was quite itchy thanks to it. Regardless, Ilyana didn't say anything after that. Leon also wanted revenge, so he could understand her to some extent, but Leon knew himself too well to know that he wouldn't achieve anything just pursuing that. If his friends die, he won't live long. He was stupid enough to let rage control his emotions… In fact, Leon could easily imagine himself dying in a suicide attack that wouldn't bother even a little bit his enemies.

In any case, Leon knew that he was slowly killing himself, but even if he dies in a year or two, as long as he achieves his goals, he wouldn't complain. In fact, he would feel great. Everything was better than keeping failing at saving those he loved and kept finding their dead bodies.
