Leon found a lot of gremlins in some villages. The little devils sometimes just enjoyed watching things burn. That became clear once Leon realized that there were no rat-men nearby. Regardless, Leon could easily escape from their sight and explode their heads using Transfer and Plasma Bullet. Besides, he also could restore his mana using their spears, so they were just a minor nuisance.
”I'm starting to wonder if Ilyana actually wanted to make me see this and experience the tension and apprehension while searching for the targets...”
Although he was doing an important job, things could have ended quickly if Ilyana had told him the precise location of the rat-men. So, he couldn't help but feel that she also had other goals aside from killing possible future enemies.
Just a few hours had passed since Leon started his search, but it was already getting dark in that world. Although his eyes wouldn't be that efficient at night, he decided to keep looking for the targets, just in case something unexpected happens. Unfortunately, as usual, fate itself would make sure to surprise Leon no matter what. Despite his cautiousness, he quickly found signs of his targets, and it looked like he had a visitor. Leon noticed that after seeing a battlefield that had signs of a recent battle, Leon deactivated Anti-Mana Field for a moment and felt trails of mana of six individuals... Ilyana said that he would kill five.
”To leave so much mana behind that even Mana Dominion can still feel it... I don't remember seeing or feeling anything like this before.”
Leon wondered if he would have felt something like that when he fought against the fake harvesters and the angels. Those guys and the rat-men probably had the same level of power, after all. In fact, since they had flashy attacks, the chances of that being true were high, but he didn't use Mana-Dominion when he fought against them. It didn't matter, either way. Leon found their trail, and someone was with them... and only someone troublesome would appear at such an inconvenient time.
Looking around and toward all directions, Leon tried to imagine which direction they went. He didn't find any mana aside from the center of that battlefield, so Leon wouldn't be able to feel the mana in the air in case they run away flying. Leon wasn't a tracker either, so he doubted that he would find any of their signs on the ground.
”I should have learned some tracking skills or spells...”
