339 Chapter 338 (1/2)
”Thirty years old, huh...” Leon sighed. ”Oh boy... should I feel old? My lifespan probably increased thanks to mana, but it doesn't change the fact the weight of those words...”
Six months passed since the last time Leon saw an angel, it was clear that eventually, they would return, but he couldn't wait anymore. So, he headed back to the harvesters to give his farewell. For a change, the harvesters were eating together.
”Hey, I came to say goodbye,” Leon declared. ”Until now, I haven't received all that much from helping you guys, and I can't waste time waiting for you guys enemies. So, I guess it is time to go our separate ways.”
The harvesters looked at each other and talked using their own eyes. Leon didn't have time to waste, waiting for their answer. So, he just turned around and prepared himself to leave. However, he felt shivers when he heard the familiar sound of the harvesters getting bigger and heavier.
”So, it is going to be like that...”
Leon prepared himself, but he was forced to stop and turned around again when he heard the sound of wings flapping. The harvesters also turned around and saw the angels... they were back, and the final battle was about to begin.
”Ah, come on... Really? Now of all times?”
That had to be a bad joke, Leon spent the last week making preparations to go to Celosie alone using Transfer and everything, but now that he looked at the sky, he saw it turning into red. He had no choice but to fight.
Without care, everyone started to attack the numerous angels that were leaving the dungeon, it looked like a dungeon break, but it was weird since the angels themselves couldn't cause that... Most likely, the generals of the angels' army also found a way to control the connection between worlds.
Regardless, since Leon didn't need to help the harvesters since their massives attacks were powerful enough to kill most angels, he decided to kill those that managed to survive. Combining Haste, Gravity, and Fly, Leon could fly even faster than the angels, and he used that to approach one of them by behind and stab the creature with the Mithril Spear of the Devourers. After recovering the mana spent and finishing a random wounded angel, Leon flew to attack the next target.
”Be careful with the small one,” The sword-wielding angel said. ”He has more than a few tricks up his sleeve.”
”I can see that,” The angel wielding a staff said.
”Ismenria, kill the angels who leave the dungeon,” Jorhorn declared. ”The others will work with me to kill those bastards.”
”Why me again...” Ismenria said, annoyed. ”I want to kill them too.”
Leon wondered if he should give Ismenria a hand. In the end, even if Ismenria can kill hundreds of those every second, eventually, she would have to retrieve her arrows, and they would become a nuisance for the big battle. Keep attacking the entrance of the dungeon wasn't an option, so Leon decided to create several layers of Magma Wall in front of it. The angels barely felt the power of the walls, but it slowed down a little bit.
It was hard to keep his eyes on all six angels at the same time, so Leon decided to fly upward in order to see the entire battlefield. Fortunately, the impatient Ivolaer helped him with that, the moment Leon started to move, he pointed his sword to the skies, and several thunderclouds appeared... it didn't take long before lightning bolts began to fall. The six angels managed to fly and avoid those, but the same couldn't be said to the ordinary angels, or the harvesters and Leon.
”You idiot!” Jertien shouted. ”Control your power more! What is the point of damaging your friends?”
Luckily, Ivolaer wasn't a mage, and Leon was with his Mana Armor activated, so he didn't suffer any damage. As for the others, they only suffered some scratches, their helmets made of mithril protected them.
