690 Chapter 687 (1/2)
Suddenly, Ilyana arrived at Leon's side. She didn't make a scene like the weird lady, but despite the fact that she fought with a god-like being, she looked completely fine. With the sole exception that she was glaring at the black-haired woman as if she was trying to open a hole in her with her eyes.
”It looks like you didn't solve things here, too,” Ilyana said. ”I didn't expect that you would be cornered by another human. Still, it wasn't that unexpected.”
Leon summoned Sekundez and then moved away from Ilyana. He didn't know what those two were thinking, but he couldn't afford to trust them when they were clearly hiding something. When they noticed what Leon was thinking, both of them shrugged. They did so at the same time and that only made Leon frown because their movements matched so perfectly that if their physical forms weren't so different, one could have thought that one was the real and the other was a mirror image.
”Let's defeat them, Leon,” Ilyana said. ”After this, there won't be any more secrets between us.”
”I will fight all of those who threaten this planet, I don't know if I will win, but I will fight,” Leon said. ”That includes you as well…”
”…” Ilyana silently lowered her head.
”How many times did you lie to me? How many times did you hid important things from me?” Leon asked. ”How many times did you work behind the scenes to make me do something?”
”… All I did, I did for a reason,” Ilyana replied after a few moments of hesitation.
”Of course, you did, people like you always think that you are in the right, no matter what happens, your actions are justified, right?” Leon smirked. ”Hey, you… aren't you the same? You summoned dragons to Earth because you had a good reason, right? My parents died because of your dragons, but I bet that you had a good reason. Nope, you don't have to tell me, I understand everything.”
After a while, everything begun to make sense in Leon's head. Yuki's power to heal curses and similar effects, the magic box that Makoto's son had, the dungeon breaks in South America, the voice he heard, that strange figure, the soul eater that the harvesters had… Ilyana was involved in those. Leon thought that it was utter bullshit when he heard that a god gave Yuki the power to dispel negative effects. Magic box was an item that had the power to space magic, so it was only obvious that those weren't suppose to exist in a world on the first stage of assimilation.
”Can't you trust me?” Ilyana asked. ”I'm serious, after this battle, I will explain everything and then everything will make sense.”
”Screw you,” Leon said.
