Although Darkness Armor was leveling up pretty nicely, Leon didn't have time to waste there. For the time being, he was fine since Ilyana didn't contact him, but time in that place was passing as fast as on Earth, and that was bad.
Maybe things will work out better once Shadow evolves again, but Leon couldn't wait for that. Leon had an idea… it was a bit risky since that would decrease the amount of mana, he could recover using Mana Magnetism, but it was the only thing he could think of to save time. However, that also would cut the supply of the shadowy figure's mana.
In the end, to save mana in order to keep his mindscape active for as long as possible. Leon deactivated all his defensive spells. The shadowy figure noticed that and attacked Leon relentlessly. However, Leon survived thanks to his passive skills and Full-Recover. After using so much mana, the darkness disappeared, and the shadowy figure finally noticed that he had run out of mana and couldn't make use of the supply he created previously. That would be the best outcome for Leon… if he weren't skin and bones now…
”H-how?” The man who looked like a lich asked visibly in panic.
”Shadow could see you… Besides, when you control so much darkness to attack me, you can't move that much,” Leon smirked, even though he looked like he was about to starve to death. ”Thanks to that, I managed to bring you here.”
That man finally understood that his body was still outside, and he still had accessed to a vast amount of mana, so he tried to use it. However, he also eventually noticed that his body couldn't be controlled as long as he stays in that dimension. He tried to recover his mana as fast as possible. Still, in a limited mindscape with that, he could only recover so much… before the bastard could cover his entire body with darkness, Shadow drained that same darkness quite easily. The spirit was still weak compared to that man, but he could exert his full power when he has mana.
”Don't panic… you won't die,” Leon smirked. ”I will make sure of it. In fact, you won't suffer all that much as well. You are a source of knowledge and power valuable, after all. I will make good use of your abilities to my heart's content.”
Leon had learned his lesson. Even though he wanted to kill the son of a bitch in the most painful way possible, that wouldn't change anything. In fact, it wouldn't alleviate his anger since there was no point in feeling any anger… Darya died in part because of him, after all.
Regardless, the shadowy figure struggled for quite a bit. The bastard also had some elemental spells at the level max that weren't related to the darkness attribute, but his spirits absorbed those attacks. In the end, he also tried to fight using his body alone. However, since he was a lich who could transfer his conscience to many other bodies, he was unable to heal himself with magic.
Eventually, Leon managed to knock him down without killing him. That had been tiresome since Leon was literally about to starve, but instead of eating something nice, Leon absorbed the memories of that bastard. That wouldn't fill his belly, but it would feed his growth.
