LIGHTNOVELONLINE 691 Chapter 688
As crazy as it sounded, the gigantic wave of dust didn't have only dust. It had trees, rocks, monsters and even humans… dead humans. Although Leon activated Anti-Gravity Field, he could feel his mana being consumed to keep his body in the place. Whatever that crazy woman did, it caused a massive collateral effect… that wave of dust quickly gained forced destroyed and killed everything in its path. Even the humans who were fighting the invaders. Almost as if… the black-haired woman had stopped the planet from rotating and moving around the sun.
"Damn monster…" Leon clenched his teeth.
Leon could feel his mana being consumed to protect his friends. The skill that was protecting them from mortal damage was working. Still, it didn't change the fact that the black-haired woman just caused the instant death of millions of humans. If she really made Earth stop moving, then not many would have strong bodies to endure that. That idea made Leon even madder than before.
"Don't worry, you won't die with this," The black-haired woman smiled. "But you will fill the same agony that I felt many times thanks to you."
That woman was speaking nonsense. Still, something inside Leon was wondering if that was really the case. He felt like some important piece of the puzzle was still missing that piece would make everything make sense. More important than that, Leon himself was wondering that that crazy was planning to do, suddenly stopping Earth caused a disaster like that wave, but it wouldn't be enough to decimate all humans' beings or kill Leon. Even if Leon uses Mana Link in millions of monsters, he wasn't sure if he would be able to stop Earth from moving. So, it was clear that he had no way of stopping the black-haired woman.
"Are you sure about this?" Sekundez asked.
Before Leon could answer Sekundez, he noticed that she was facing Ilyana. That was weird, even though Ilyana also had a fragment of Sekundez, she wasn't supposed to be able to see her. Ilyana who was facing the wave of destruction heading toward just nodded while showing a tired expression.
"Yeah… I'm also tired of this," Ilyana replied. "I tried to do things right, but I messed up… we have to many irregularities this time. Leon, you will have a long dream. It will be easier for you this way. When you wake up, I hope that you still will chase our dream."
"Again… talking nonsense," Leon said annoyed.
"I won't let you!" The black-haired woman roared.
Before Leon could react, he felt his consciousness getting weaker. That happened so fast that he didn't have time to do anything and the last thing he saw was his body falling on the ground below, but before it could fall on the ground, his body disappeared. That was weird because Leon saw that happening as if his spirit had left his body. However, the moment his body disappeared; Leon was engulfed by darkness.
When Leon opened his eyes, he saw himself inside an airplane. Immediately, he recalled the previous events. However, for some reason, his body didn't react the way he wanted.
"This is…" Leon muttered. "The same thing I experience when I use Mind Melding on myself…"
It didn't take long for Leon to recognize where he was. It was that airplane, that one that fell and lead him to stay on that island for four years. Still, something was off… relieving that day strange enough, but he felt that something else was different.
"My clothes… the date…" Leon frowned when he saw the screen showing him that he still had one day before the monsters appear.
Leon wondered why Ilyana was showing such an illusion. If she wanted to make Leon change his mind, she should have at least changed his memories a little more. However, when Leon looked at the window on his side, he noticed that the airplane was already flying over Phoenix and it was noon.
If he could, Leon would bite his lips in annoyance, but he couldn't do anything and since who was using Mind Melding was Ilyana, Leon will have to stay in that state until she feels satisfied. Suddenly, Leon saw the time moving forward really fast and his body also accompanied that speed. In the blink of an eye, the airplane landed and he left the airport. The fast forward only stopped when Leon appeared at the door of his parent's home… his old house was exactly the same he recalled. The garden his mother liked to look after, Amanda bike parked near the door and the garage where his father liked to store all kinds of weird things.
Leon saw his body taking a deep breathe before knocking on the door and open it and only to find his parent watching TV while drinking coffee. Leon's parents' hair was already most grey, and they looked like a couple who was about to retire from their respective jobs. They suddenly got up when they heard someone opening door and they quickly ran toward Leon to hug him.
"Welcome back," Leon's father said.
"We missed you," Leon's mother said.
"Shit, shit…" Leon muttered annoyed while he was feeling what that Leon was feeling.
That Leon let the tears flow and then hugged both of his parents with all his strength. By the look of things, that one also had made a mess out of things before leaving to study abroad. That one was stubbornly didn't say sorry and only appeared suddenly without saying a word. Still, this time he managed to say that the was sorry for what he had done.
While the real Leon felt his chest being filled by remorse, happiness and at the same time anger, he begun to wonder once again what Ilyana was plotting. That woman's behavior had been really strange as of late. Still, playing with his memories wasn't something Leon could forgive. Regardless, after talking with his parents for a few hours, Leon went to party with Hector, he went too far and ended up spending the night fooling around with his old friend. However, the next day he woke up when they heard things getting noise outside. The moment Leon left Hector's house; he saw a dragon opening its mouth.
