YM778.TV 712 Chapter 709
Again, the black-haired woman suddenly appeared while making a big scene. As if she was some sort of the last boss, she appeared coming out from a black and ominous, bizarre mist. With her eyes full of killing intent, she glared at Leon and Ilyana.
"You… you two!" The black-haired woman shouted, enraged. "You will pay for last time…"
Leon frowned when he heard that. What last time? Before that encounter, only the first Leon managed to survive long enough to meet the black-haired woman. So, that one wasn\'t supposed to know them… unless… she somehow managed to recover her memories, even though those memories were supposed to have been deleted. When Ilyana and the kids made time move backward… then again, if Ilyana were really making Leon see the things that he lived and experienced many times, then it wouldn\'t be weird if the black-haired woman could do the same on her own.
"The chances are dim… but just like the third life had a different life from the first one, perhaps this woman also obtained different powers, and those made her realize what Ilyana did and then recover those memories," Leon concluded. "That means… that she probably is even more dangerous than before."
Considering that Ilyana perhaps had even more time to get stronger, maybe she could defeat her. Still, judging the surprised expression on her face, Leon concluded that wasn\'t the case. It looked like she wasn\'t expecting to be found by her at this point in time. However, despite that, Ilyana reacted fast enough. Massive amounts of mana begun to circle around her body until Ilyana became semi-transparent.
"That is…" Leon frowned, surprised. "Alternative Future Possession?"
"Serena!" Ilyana shouted while she was charging up her energy even more. "Do it!"
"Are you sure?" Leon heard Sekundez\'s voice coming from the third Leon\'s head. "After all this time, you didn\'t even…"
"Just do it already!" Ilyana interrupted her.
After that, Leon didn���t know what happened, but after seeing the movie ending, he realized that Sekundez/Serena used her powers alongside the massive amounts of mana that Ilyana obtained by using Alternative Future Possession. When the darkness was dispersed… Leon saw himself on that airplane again.
"This is seriously messed up…" Leon muttered. "Ilyana didn\'t look the type who would act so rashly… Besides, why reset time up to this point? If Ilyana and Serena can really make time move backward, couldn\'t they make it move a few months or years?"
Leon was really interested in how Ilyana and Serena managed to develop such power. Perhaps they did the first Leon slept for one thousand years. Then again, that didn\'t explain why the spell had such limitations and why they were making it move to the very beginning.
"All skills have limitations and certain effects," Leon rubbed his chin. "Perhaps the effect of that spell is to make everyone and everything return on time to the point where they first had any contact with mana."
Now that Leon thought about it, using a skill that had such effects was more plausible than forcefully making the entire universe go back in time to a specific point. Leon knew that it was foolish to try to use logic to understand how mana worked, but he also knew that much more mana than someone could withstand would be necessary to perform such a task. However, if they could control the time of only things that had mana in their bodies, then perhaps…
"Although I\'m interested in this, I will only hear the correct explanation once this all ends…" Leon sighed. "Whatever, let\'s just finish this…"
Leon really wanted to know how many times that would have to repeat itself, but after recalling something he heard from Sekundez, Leon understood that he would have to watch the lives of twelve versions of him. Sekundez had said that after the trial, that trial would repeat itself that number of times because it was the times someone tried to obtain her power, but that was obviously a lie. That was the number of times he was forced to reset the time of all things.
"So, I have to endure this more nine times…" Leon sighed. "Great… this will be one hell of a brainwashing session."
Ilyana\'s words finally began to make sense in Leon\'s head. Although this long dream could make him feel the same love he had for her in the first time they lived together, it also could make him sick of her… Leon and Ilyana weren\'t perfect beings. So, if they lived together more than a few times, it was only obvious that they would have argued with each other quite a bit. Considering that Amanda and Hector got divorced after a few centuries, it was only natural that something like that could happen to those who lived together for thousands of years…
It was the fourth time… and for the fourth time, Leon crossed the Pacific Ocean in a plane. Still, he was worried that the plane might still crash and he would have to endure four years of boredom on a tropical island��� but fortunately, that didn\'t happen. Once again, Leon landed on American soil intact, and once again, he had a warm reunion with his parents. The fourth time was supposed to be boring considering that, but Leon could only watch that with a smile on his face… a sad smile, but a smile nonetheless.
However, the next day came, and Leon found his heart racing when he saw that his whole family was at home and the dragons would arrive in just a few minutes. They were in the living room, the only part of the house that was burned down due to the power of the dragons. Leon shouted… trying to tell fourth Leon to get the hell out of there, but it was useless.
