687 Chapter 684 (1/2)
”So, you are Leon…” Sylas muttered, uninterested. ”You must be someone really troublesome if you forced me to use this.”
Leon frowned when he heard that. Sylas not only looked different, but he also sounded different. His voice was calm and lacked any sentiment, just like his eyes. It almost looked as if Sylas had forgotten about him, but that wouldn't make any sense since he still tried to kill Leon. Still, before Leon could understand what was going on, the same thing happened again. Leon's body became a mess in an instant. However, this time, the very moment Leon noticed those effects. He also used Time Manipulation on himself and made his body return in time to the point where he wasn't damaged by whatever Sylas used.
Congratulations! You have become a Level one Time Lord!
Your intelligence and mana will increase by ten points, your stamina, health, recovery, and control will increase by five points whenever you level up your class.
”Oh… you also have the power of the time on your side,” Sylas muttered, showing a bit of surprise on his face. ”It seems you won't go down as easily as the last one…”
Leon bit his lips in annoyance. Although he succeeded in countering Sylas attacks, it was clear who had the upper hand there. Leon had been using time magic only to help on his training while Sylas was using to all kinds of crazy things. Most likely, he made his body age to a point where he reached the apex of his strength, even though that made him forget about Leon. Still, countering Leon's actions would be easy. Sylas would just have to slow down the effects of his attacks and make it continuous.
”Shit… this is bad,” Leon clenched his teeth. ”If only my replicas could work a bit faster.”
There was also a way for Leon to counter Sylas' power. He just needed to have access to one million points of mana per second. That way, he would be able to reverse the time in his body non-stop. Leon didn't know what would happen with him if he does something like that, but it probably would be better than dying.
”May I ask you something?” Leon asked in a hurry since he didn't have any other idea about how to stall for time.
”It is useless,” Sylas said. ”You can't fool me. Like my body and mind aged, my skill list also reached a point where it has all the skills obtained. I can hear your thoughts as if you are saying them out loud. I can feel what you feel as if you were me. Stalling for time is meaningless.”
That was insane, but Leon somehow didn't doubt Sylas' words. It was weird, but Leon couldn't even feel Sylas's presence anymore. He could see him, but his instincts told him that he was so far away that what he was saying was just an illusion. As if… as if Sylas' had become a god-like existence.
