689 Chapter 686 (2/2)
Leon, who almost reached the apex of his rage, lost the momentum when Sekundez suddenly returns to his head. Leon also obtained the memories of the replica that was with her and frowned when he saw that she forcefully canceled the spell to make her return.
”… What are you plotting, Sekundez?” Leon asked. ”The very moment I saw you, I noticed that you were different from other spirits. Your power, behavior, words… all sound pretty suspicious. Still, I treated you fairly because you didn't do anything directly against me.”
”Well, thank you very much for that,” Sekundez shrugged. ”Treating me differently would make others feel pretty jealous.”
”What are you talking about?” Leon asked.
”I can answer this question if you survive to live another day,” Sekundez replied. ”Since you went too far and even turned yourself into something like that, she has sensed you.”
Leon was getting impatient as if Sekundez's actions weren't suspicious enough. She was talking as if she was a different person. Leon's head was already full of worries since Ilyana's actions also were suspicious, but such thoughts disappeared when Leon felt something dreadful approaching. It was the same feeling that he had when he still was on Ilyana's planet.
”Why… why is she coming?” Sylas asked, astonished.
By the look of things, even though Sylas changed a lot and forget some things, he didn't forget about his boss after becoming that powerful. It was insane to think that, but based on his reaction, Leon concluded that she was even more powerful than him. Despite all that power… they didn't reach the seventh stage of assimilation.
Suddenly, the space around them begun to distort. Leon also felt as if his existence was getting crushed by a single massive hand. He didn't even have enough time to deal with Sylas, and now he will have to deal with his boss… someone even Ilyana couldn't have stopped from coming to Earth. Although that was dangerous, Leon only shrugged. He wasn't smart enough to obtain enough power to kill a being like her in hundreds of years, so there was no reason for him to feel afraid or disappointed. In the end, the fate of his friends and Earth were too much for his shoulders.
As if the sky was made of sort of glass, it broke, and then the shattered pieces began to fell, revealing a dark-night sky. From the darkness, a single being began to descend… her hair was long and black, much longer than her own body. She was only a single and long dark gown, and her skin was pale like the skin of a corpse. Although that figure looked weird, she also looked particularly beautiful. As if those characteristics weren't weird enough, the woman's body also seemed a bit transparent, as if it was a mix of a human body and a ghost.
”How… how many times do you intend to get on my way,” The dark eyes of the woman were fixed at Leon when she asked.
