”What the…” Leon frowned. ”I can see how this skill works, but… it is not like I tested and practiced. So, how…”
That was strange… it wouldn't be weird if Leon learns a spell that let him learn the skills of his alternated versions, but he didn't learn that spell yet, and that was why he couldn't understand what was going on. At that point, his alternate version was probably as strong as Leon was when he took Sekundez's test. So, it wasn't weird that his alternated version could learn spells that Leon didn't learn yet.
Leon thought it was a bit soon for him, but that Leon began to hunt down and kill all the harvesters he found. However, after returning to Earth, he didn't find a single one of them, nor did he find other humans. The planet now only looked like a black marble that had no life and could explode at any moment. Seeing his home planet like that made Leon feel only more resolute on his revenge. So, he began to travel through the stars by using dungeons.
”Mmm… I wonder why he didn't find a single spirit,” Leon frowned.
Again, it took a while since it was rare for a plane to reach the fifth stage of assimilation and still have survivors, but Leon found one that was on the verge of collapse. Just like before, dragons were rampaging and eating the few survivors left and right. Meanwhile, the harvesters were killing both inhabitants of that planet and dragons as if that was the world's greatest sport. Strangely enough, the people of that world resembled humans quite a bit. The only real difference was their pointy ears and the fact that all of them had red hair. Amidst that carnage, Leon found a single woman that was exploding the dragon's head with a single movement of her hands while she was also stopping the harvesters who were chasing the few survivors who were trying to leave the planet… that woman was Ilyana.
”Is this… her home planet?” Leon frowned. ”If this isn't an illusion… then that means…”
That Leon bit his lips in annoyance, he couldn't forgive traitors or those who showed their backs when their allies were still fighting. Still… Leon wasn't there to kill them; he had come to kill the harvesters, and he did that.
When Ilyana woke up, she saw a weird figure fighting five harvesters alone. Despite the odds, he was calmly facing them with his arms crossed. The next moment, after a single blink, Ilyana saw them falling on the ground without their limbs. As if that wasn't weird enough, the man who defeated them with ease didn't kill them. It only dragged their bodies toward a dungeon.
