199 Chapter 198 (1/2)

When Leon opened his eyes, he saw himself in a grey world. No, it wasn't a grey world… the absurd tall buildings nearby were all grey, but the sky was blue. Speaking of which, even the floor was grey. Leon imagined it would be kind of hard to find things in that kind of place since everything looked pretty much the same. It was hard to be sure, but the tall buildings just looked like dominoes… there were no differences between them.

Regardless, Leon soon lost interest in that when he looked behind and saw a green monster behind him. Leon prepared himself to attack, but he stopped when he noticed the beast was wearing mage's clothes, not only that, he could walk in two legs.

”Hello.” The dragonnewt said.

”So, it is you…” Leon said.

”Do you know me?” The dragonnewt tilted his head.

”You are the monster who gave William, Sanchez, and Alisson a hand, right?” Leon asked.

”It is impolite to call other 'monsters,' you know.” The dragonnewt said. ”You shouldn't judge others just by their appearances.

”Sorry,” Leon said.

”Anyway, you said William? Oh, the human who I gave a few presents!” The dragonnewt said. ”Are you his friend?”

”… Is this some kind of joke?” Leon frowned. ”He died, didn't you take me to this place to kill me? I was the one who caused his death, after all.”

”Oh, he died? I totally forgot about him.” The dragonnewt said. ”Don't worry about it, we weren't friends, I just wanted to use him a little, but he was so incompetent that I decided to leave him alone. I'm not here to kill you either. Well, not directly, at least.”

”I see, so you can't directly harm me for some reason…” Leon frowned.

”Yes, that is why I brought you to this place.” The dragonnewt said.” On this kind of stage, someone like you who has a bit of arcane talent won't be able to keep yourself ahead of others.”

”Talent? I thought I just worked hard and studied everything carefully…” Leon furrowed his eyebrows. ”So, are you going to explain your masterplan now?”

”No, I will leave it to your imagination.” The dragonnewt smirked.
