YM778.TV 693 Chapter 690
Although Gisela didn\'t have a hellish life like Leon knew, one was also weak when they met. Leon was the type who wanted to be the shield who would protect the ones he loved, but that Leon wasn\'t crazy enough to think that they shouldn\'t train and improve themselves.
Weirdly enough, Sasha, Betty, and Gisela had similar fighting styles to the ones Leon knew. Also, weirdly enough, he was by far the best mage of a group of thousands of survivors. Maybe that was why he got ahead of himself and decided to marry three times. That being said, Leon would be lying if he says that he wasn\'t jealous of that Leon.
Of course, Leon, who punched Hector for making his sister pregnant, was also lectured by his younger sister. According to Amanda, the world was full of monsters, and billions died, but that wasn\'t an excuse for that Leon to have three wives. Regardless, despite everything, Leon had a good life, but Leon didn\'t venture outside the country to make all the world nations work together. So, it was only obvious that Leon never met Makoto and Yuki.
"I don\'t think the fact that that plane didn\'t fall was the cause of all of this…" Leon muttered. "It wouldn\'t make sense…"
Leon wanted to know why he couldn\'t see Netro\'s hands behind some events. Still, even though he didn\'t find the answer he was looking for, that one hell of a long move continues to be played, and in the blink of an eye, several years passed, and after thirty years of the monsters\' arrival, Earth reached the second stage of assimilation.
"That is weird… I didn\'t teach many people how to use mana, but the assimilation process still advanced quite fast…" Leon frowned. "Is that something fated to happen? Just like Maya\'s existence?"
Now that Leon thought about it, he, Sasha, Betty, and Gisela didn\'t have a single kid in all those years. That was weird because when he saw Sasha and Betty again, they had a lot of kids… as for Gisela, she was pursuing power above all else, so it would make sense that she wouldn\'t have any. Maybe the problem was with Leon… even if the holy sword was unsealed, it lost its power… that kind of thought made Leon a bit depressed, but that was something he already was used to it.
Regardless, since new strong monsters suddenly appeared, the human race got caught off guard, and many died. That Leon\'s camp had two hundred thousand survivors, but after a couple of weeks of the constant fight, that number decreased to fifty thousand. The thought of the same loses being happening all over the world made that Leon freeze in terror. Although eventually, people got strong enough to overcome the monsters once again, if such a disaster happens once again. It was only a matter of time before the human race is wiped out.
In any case, another thing that Leon didn\'t experience was \'the fallen.\' Those assholes who used weird spells to make people explode never appeared. Leon concluded that it was because Netro didn\'t involve himself with Earth in that parallel universe. Still, given how much trouble the human race was having in dealing with monsters alone, it was only obvious that the harvesters didn\'t feel the need to intervene.
The more time passed, the more Leon felt uncomfortable watching all that. It was like watching a low-budget movie that was copying one that made a lot of success. Although Leon was struggling a lot, Leon knew that things could have been way worse… he had experienced that himself, after all.
Just as Leon had expected, the third stage of assimilation happened, and things got much worse than before. That Leon saw his old companions dying left and right… even Betty. Although they were fighting side by side, she was impaled by the spears of dozens of gremlins.
"Shit…" Leon bit his lips, frustrated.
That Leon grabbed the dying Betty before she could fall on the ground. Her whole body had been wounded beyond salvation, and that Leon couldn\'t do anything since he didn\'t know any healing spells. That Leon saw Betty dying in his arms, and he couldn\'t do anything but despair and tremble. In Betty\'s last movements, Leon recalled everything they had experienced in the last three hundred years. Fought together, trained together, loved together… and a group of fucking monsters robbed them of the right of dying together.
Still, Betty\'s death didn\'t surprise Leon. Why? Because her fighting style was different. The Betty he knew was way more skilled… not only that, that Leon\'s status was much lower in comparison to the one Leon had when he left Miebos to face the angels. That Leon also didn\'t have the power to heal wounds or create magic weapons either. In fact, everyone looked far weaker than the versions Leon knew… it was like… his presence made them weaker. Leon didn\'t want to admit that, but it was the only plausible explanation he found.
That Leon already practiced his spells quite a bit, but he did that even more frequently after Betty\'s death. That being said, he was nowhere as skilled as Leon, so it took him a long while before he could learn healing spells and even how to create magic weapons by using the spirits of monsters.
That Leon put a lot of effort into the next hundred years, but weirdly enough, the assimilation process was happening even faster than it was supposed to be. So, before the fourth stage could even begin, the angels attacked Earth… the same angels Leon fought alongside the fake harvesters. Their power couldn\'t even be compared to the other monsters on the fourth stage, and due to it… many died. Sasha and Amanda were among that group.
