697 Chapter 694 (1/2)

”How many did they defeat?” Leon asked himself. ”A few hundreds already? The current me only fought a few dozen of them… still, I guess it makes sense that new harvesters appear when others are defeated.”

In a sense, that Leon was also a harvester. He wasn't destroying worlds for power, but he was using living beings to do that. Living beings that deserved death or even worse, but living beings nonetheless. Also, each time Leon and Ilyana fought together, they learned new things by watching each other. That Leon finally learned how to summon monsters.

However, after a while it started to get harder to find harvesters and even though they didn't find the enemies, Leon and Ilyana met each other while looking for them many times… until they decided to really work together since their goal was the same: to hunt all the harvesters.

”I was starting to think this really was the life of an alternate version of myself, but now Ilyana is appearing so much that I'm having doubts again,” Leon frowned. ”Well, she is anything but stupid… so, I doubt that she would use such a cheap trick knowing that I would blindly believe… so… I guess this is really the life of another me.”

It was hard to know for how long I have been watching that, but he didn't feel like days have passed… Still, so much knowledge was being absorbed by him that it was also hard to believe that was the case.

”What happened to those guys you tried to protect?” That Leon asked while they were investigating some ruins that had a lot of runes.

”They died…” Ilyana answered with her head down. ”While I was fighting those three, other harvesters ambushed them on another planet.”

”So, you are the last of your race?” That Leon asked.

”I guess I am,” Ilyana forced a smile. ”I warned them so many times… but no one believed me when I said that we should prepare for the next stages of assimilation. They thought again and again that when new monsters appeared, that was just a coincidence.”
