604 Chapter 602 (1/2)
”Oh, you guys are still here...” Leon said.
”What are you talking about?” Celsius asked.
”Did you do something? Why is nothing happening?” Undine asked.
”I was hoping to see something flashy, but I guess time magic isn't something so special, after all,” Efreet shrugged.
”...What did you do?” Sekundez asked. ”My mana...”
”I destroyed that dimension,” Leon replied. ”I couldn't focus anymore on the training since I had too many questions in my head... but I guess, as usual, I was just overthinking things.”
”So... the trial already begun and ended?” Sylph tilted his head.
”You don't look much different, Leon,” Gnome said. ”How many years did you experience there?”
”I see now... in order to change too much and lose your focus, you decided to delete some of your memories,” Volt said. ”That is a very surprising way of using Mind Melding...”
Leon already had imagined that, but Volt was probably the smartest one of the groups, maybe Undine was on his same level, but that was hard to confirm given her usual behavior. Regardless, while Sekundez was recovering from the exhaustion, Leon explained that four hundred years have passed in that dimension.
”I see... I was hoping that you grew up a little, but you look like the same fool,” Celsius said.
”Ouch... such sharp words,” Leon sighed and dropped his shoulders. ”Well, let's finish this conversation later... what is going to happen now? I was hoping that you would recover pretty fast, but it looks like I was wrong.”
”... Fragments of spirits can't exist by themselves; they need mana from external sources to exist,” Sekundez explained. ”You made me lost all the mana I obtained by destroying that dimension. I won't last long at this rate.”
”Well, that is a problem... I want your power, but I didn't complete the trial,” Leon rubbed his chin. ”Wait a minute... how do you obtain mana here? You don't look like someone who has many visitors, and since you test them quite harshly, there is no way they would leave after failing and give you some magic weapons full of mana.”
”Many tried to obtain my power, and failure isn't an option... you are the first one who didn't die,” Sekundez explained. ”As you can imagine, I only transported your mind to that dimension... that being said, if the mind of someone dies there, their bodies would die as well. But before that happens, I consume their mana for quite a while as a fee for the trial.”
Leon tried to transfuse his mana to Sekundez, but before he could do that, she disappeared, and Leon started to sweat cold. Although he obtained a great deal of power, he endured those four hundred years to obtain the power to control time.
