Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

A moment later, Leon felt as if his whole body was getting crushed. He didn't even have time to check things in Amanda's eyes. She just hugged him with all her might without a hint of hesitation.

"I'm sorry… I'm so sorry," Amanda said while she buried her face on Leon's chest and let tears flow. "I'm sorry, brother."

"It is alright," Leon returned the hug and then patted Amanda in the head. "It couldn't be helped. Besides, I know that you waited for me for a very long time. Rest assured that after this, we will have all the time in the world for this."

Despite hearing that, Amanda didn't let Leon go. As expected, after watching her mother acting like that, Maya decided to be the next. However, when she was a toddler, her memories were quite hazy, so even after Leon restored them, she could only frown.

"It looks like you really are my uncle…" Maya said.

"Yep, but calling me that is forbidden," Leon smirked. "Instead of that, you can call me big brother."

"No, thank you," Maya said.

After that, no one hesitated in letting Leon mess with their memories a little bit. In fact, Yuki and Gisela were quite looking forward to seeing their past selves. Yuki couldn't believe that she once got kidnapped, and Gisela felt that she had forgotten something very important along the way. Something that had been kept hidden inside her heart for a long time and made become someone who would lose a single day of training.

Leon already expected that, but Yuki got really embarrassed when she relived the times when she was just a survivor who focused on helping others on the backlines. As for Gisela, she bent her knee and then lowered her head.

"Master! Please punish me!" Gisela said. "I'm an unworthy disciple… I can't forgive myself for forgetting about you."

"It is alright," Ilyana said, and that surprised Leon. "You guys didn't forget him. It was Netro that slowly delete your memories that had any relation to Leon."

"Why didn't you tell me that before?" Leon frowned. "If you had told me that earlier, I wouldn't have hesitated in making them recover those memories."

"Well, you never asked…" Ilyana shrugged. "Besides, it was pretty obvious that someone like you wouldn't be forgotten so easily. After all, you taught magic to thousands of people."

"I wonder about that… you always read my mind," Leon furrowed his eyebrows. "Didn't you tell me that because I would have spent a lot more time on Earth if I had learned about that?"

"Maybe that was part of the reason," Ilyana looked away. "However, even if I had told you that it wouldn't change anything. You only obtained the power to access certain memories during Serena's trial."

"I guess it makes sense…" Leon said.

Surprisingly, Ren began to cry when he saw once again the late emperor. Tom seemed pretty calm as usual since Leon only interacted with him because of work. Lennart was in a similar situation, but he looked a bit uncomfortable while watching his sister kneeling and calling Leon master again. As for Sasha and Betty, they didn't know how to interact with Leon after so much. They once loved him, but now they had families. Words weren't necessary at such a moment. Leon just raised both of his hands, and then both accepted the high-five.

"I guess this is enough for the time being," Leon declared while facing Tyrselle. "So, who is going to give the motivational speech? I'm bad at that kind of thing, but even I know that we need one before this battle."

"It is unnecessary. This is the last battle, right?" Hector asked. "Besides, a lot of our comrades already died, so our troops are more than motivated to fight."

"If you say so," Leons shrugged. "Well, I will give you the knowledge of how to use Telepathy and also access to my mana pool. That way, all of you will command the human troops with more ease."

Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Reverse Mana Link.

You obtained 01 status point.

Leon never tried anything similar before, but as expected, he could also give his mana pool access to others. At that point in time, it wasn't a matter of spoiling his friends. It was a matter of necessity. Millions of people could fight along their side, but they would need to be coordinated in order to avoid as many deaths as possible.

Sekundez lifts the barrier around them, and time began to move again. Without wasting any time, Leon's friends begun to spread, and as fast as possible, they connected their minds to all the other survivors… but the task hadn't been completed before the last war was finally resumed. Tyrselle's soldiers were more powerful, so the human side quickly began to lose many warriors. When Leon saw that, he closed his eyes and then took a deep breath. Leon tried to avoid bloodshed, but as expected, a conflict would always arise when there is a disagreement. Tyrselle did and was doing, he couldn't forgive, but she wasn't the real enemy in the end. The real enemy was the one who created the system, and Leon would hunt him or her once that battle happens, but to do that, Leon had to stop that carnage.

"Ilyana, Serena," Leon said. "Can I ask you two to just prevent casualties on both sides? We can't afford to lose any more people."

"… It looks like you have a plan this time," Ilyana studied Leon for a few moments. "I will trust you them."

"Father is naïve as always, but I suppose it can't be helped," Sekundez shrugged. "You can leave it to me."

Leon smiled at then nodded at them. Despite that, he was nervous and afraid that he was making another mistake. However, to end everything once and for all, Leon will have to risk everything… he will have to risk all the life in the universe.
