BXBX NOVEL 518 Chapter 516
Leon understood Ilyana\'s reasoning, but it wasn\'t like he wanted to rely on that too much. It looked like she didn\'t understand that he was doing that to relax... She couldn\'t understand the reason why someone would take their minds out of work. Still, he felt like questioning her a little bit.
"That can\'t be easily solved by repairing the weapon," Leon said.
"Even if you are the only one who will use the weapon you created, it is a waste of time to repair something in the middle of a battle," Ilyana explained. "Unless you manage to create a weapon that can emit as energy as a comet, it won\'t be useful to defeat powerful enemies."
"What about the Gravitational Beam Emitter?" Leon asked. "If the problem is the material, then I just have to create a weapon made of mithril that works like ordinary guns."
"What is a Gravitational Beam Emitter?" Ilyana asked. "Mithril doesn\'t work like other forms of energy, and I didn\'t see you studying that helmet. It is a bit presumptuous to think that you will develop what hundreds of other races didn\'t when they had the help of thousands of scientists... don\'t you think?"
"Well... yeah," Leon said. "But it is fine if I don\'t manage to create anything really useful, I just really want to take my mind out of the training now and then to recover my focus."
Leon wasn\'t good for delicate work, and now more than ever, he was aware that he wasn\'t that smart. Still, one couldn\'t the result of one\'s actions until it happens. So, there was no point in thinking about that. Maybe all that knowledge wouldn\'t be as useful as Leon wanted, but it didn\'t matter. At least he would relax his mind and body while doing something that could produce some interesting results. Besides, he wasn\'t wasting time and mana...

In the end, Leon had to stop when he created a gun that could fire earth bullets and hit things one hundred meters away from him. It wasn\'t bad considering that he didn\'t use anything special... Regardless, it was time to resume his regular training.
"Hehe, now I\'m a bit more eager to train," Leon smirked. " A day off is everything one needs to break the boring routine."
"That is what I wanted to hear," Ilyana said via Telepathy. "Since you are eager to train, you can fight my mud golems. The new guys can\'t handle the number of golems I can create."
By new guys, Ilyana was probably referring to the mithril people. If that was the case, Leon couldn\'t imagine they have all that much difficulty... as long as Crik stays with them, Leon was pretty sure they could face even hordes of gremlins. Still, Leon didn\'t feel like asking why they were having difficulties, and since Ilyana was asking for a favor that in the end would help him, Leon had no reason whatsoever to refuse.
"All right..." Leon said and then started to drain the mud golems mana while creating more of his elemental golems.
It looked like another week of grinding would begin, but then suddenly, Leon felt something strange with him... as if something inside him had disappeared. A few moments later, Leon noticed that was the connection that he had between himself and the snake zombie had disappeared.
"What the..." Leon said.
"Shit... this is bad, I wasn\'t expecting this," Ilyana said using Telepathy. "It looks like the harvesters won\'t give us the time we need. They are already preparing Earth\'s terrain. By the way, they killed your zombie snake."
"What are they doing?" Leon asked.
"They are teleporting the corpses of thousands of powerful monsters on your planet in order to make the mana there increase faster," Ilyana explained. "This isn\'t the work of one or two harvesters... I can sense at least the mana of twenty of them creating spatial distortions on Earth, and I can\'t stop all of them."
"We can at least try, right?" Leon asked. "Or at least buy some time and give the humans some time to prepare or escape."
"It is impossible..." Ilyana said.
Despite the surprise, Ilyana soon recovered, and Leon noticed that she was hiding something again. It wasn\'t the first time, and it was clear that she would stay quiet, so Leon moved toward the purple crystal that connected that world to Earth. However, his body stopped moving.
"I\'m sorry, but I won\'t let you die," Ilyana said.
"I won\'t die, I will kill those bastards once and for all," Leon said. "They will regret messing with me, my friends, and my planet."
"You can\'t do anything against them as you are right now..." Ilyana sighed. "It can\'t be helped. I will send you to where you will find the fragments of the other spirits."
"What?! This isn\'t time for that, are you insane?" Leon shouted.
"If you hurry, you will return in time," Ilyana said. "I will buy the time that we need."
Before Leon could protest again, the scenario around him changed, and then he found himself in front of what seemed to be a Greek temple, at least made Leon recall one. For a change, Ilyana sent him to the exact place where he would find a spirit, but she did so at the worst time possible.
"Fucking crazy bitch..." Leon bit his lips. "If she fails in protecting my friends, she will be the first one I will kill..."
