After using Dragon Mode in a single attack, Leon received those notifications. It was only obvious, but fighting really was the best way to get stronger. However, things wouldn't go as planned. Sylas left the massive cloud of dust that he caused when he landed on a nearby mountain and appeared in front of Leon completely unscathed. His mastery over the power of the time was absurd… no, once again, Leon didn't feel any of his mana being used to make the time flow in reversal… it was the power of his boss.

Sylas glared at Leon, but not for long. Instead of letting himself be controlled by the rage, Sylas took a deep breath and then showed Leon a state of total concentration in his eyes. Before Leon could even imagine what he was plotting, Leon felt his body getting crushed by innumerous blows.

"What… the…" Leon muttered.

Even though the difference in speed was supposed to have decreased when Leon activated Dragon Mode, Leon still didn't see the moment where Sylas attacked him. Not only that, the attacks landed so fast that Leon had no idea how many times he got hit. It was like… Leon got hit by a barrage of instantaneous attacks.

When his body begun to suffer the damage, Leon used Full-Recover, but he still was thrown to the ground. Opening a massive hole in the area, causing an earthquake and raising a dust cloud. It didn't take long for Leon to recognized that a conceptual attack had attacked him, but that one… was stupidly more precise than the ones Necro used. It wasn't supposed to be possible…

"The power of time," Leon muttered while he was getting up. "He used his control over the time to attack me many times in a fraction of a second. However, since he didn't have magic or weapons to attack, only his fists, the accuracy was incredible."

Although it was weaker, attacking with one's body was a smart way to counterbalance the downsides of using conceptual attacks. However, after using Clairvoyance, Leon confirmed that Sylas was pale. Perhaps he hadn't used a conceptual attack and actually increased his own body's speed to attack Leon several times… It was hard to be sure, which was the case. Either way, Sylas couldn't use that to attack consecutively.

However, much to Leon's surprise, after a couple of seconds, Sylas looked completely fine and ready to attack again. That was a problem. Leon couldn't use any other spell for the time being to increase his defensive capabilities. Although Darkness Armor would probably damage Sylas to some extent, his time powers would decrease its effectiveness. Sylas was ready to attack again, and Leon didn't know a good way to counterattack, so he only did one thing. Enchanted his eyes and brain with the power of time.

Congratulations! You have become a Level one Time Mage!

Your control and mana will increase by ten points, your intelligence, health, stamina, and mentality will increase by five points whenever you level up your class.

Leon used all the mana he could, but despite that, he only managed to see Sylas' after images when he moved his arms. Maybe it was to save energy or because that ability had several limitations, but Sylas actually hit Leon with the shockwaves created by his punches, but it was weird. Since Leon didn't feel or heard the shockwaves flying toward him.

Regardless, in the blink of an eye, Leon managed to count his body, getting hit by two hundred attacks thanks to his improved senses. Despite the pain, Leon was surprised and impressed at Sylas's skill and power. To think that he could attack more than ten times in 0.001 seconds. Just like Leon, he had worked and trained hard. Leon was proud that a fellow human obtained that level of strength but sad that they were enemies.

Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Mana Link.

You obtained 01 status points.

"Finally," Leon sighed.

It wasn't much, but Leon could feel mana coming toward him from several points on Earth. His replicas were still working, but they already succeeded in completing the first part of Leon's plans: capturing dragons and seal them away while they send their mana to Leon. He couldn't help but wonder why he hesitated so much in using such a tactic before. What was the point in threatening those who threatened all the human life on Earth fairly? Regardless, it didn't take long for Sylas to notice what Leon was plotting. Still, there was nothing he could do about it.

"You are really low," Sylas furrowed his eyebrows. "To think that you would use such a tactic… you are indeed evil. You are not being controlled."

"Yeah… I'm evil, but don't worry about it," Leon said. "Soon, you will also join the group of batteries that will feed my mana. Besides, do you know what your boss does to become strong?"

There was no point in asking or talking. Still, Leon would do everything necessary. He didn't know if Ilyana would defeat that woman, and even if she defeats her, there was no telling anymore if Ilyana was an ally or something else. Leon was resolute in not losing anyone anymore. He lost Darya, and he lost Makoto. He lost his parents; he lost his hometown and had been forgotten by his friends and family. Leon was tired of losing. Frown now on, he would be the one who would take things away from others.
