久久一本通凹凸一道久视

By the look of things, the fourth Leon would be the one who would have a short life. Still, he would die with his family instead of watching them die… that kind of thought at least made Leon sure that the fourth wouldn\'t have a crappy life. However, much to his surprise, he heard a certain voice.

"If you want to save yourself, your sister, and your parents, leave the house now."

That voice… that sweet, but at the same time, the strong voice belonged to the dark-haired woman. Suddenly, Leon felt shivers imagining what would happen next. As one would expect, the fourth Leon suddenly felt really compelled to obey that voice. It was only natural since that voice echoed clearly in his head. However, before anything, he left the house alone to see if the place was really in danger… and he left just in time to see dozens of distortions in the sky. When the first dragon appeared, the fourth Leon didn\'t think twice and then dragged everyone out of the house and turned on his father\'s car. Three seconds after they left the house, a dragon stopped right above it and then burned everything into ashes. Leon, Amanda, and their parents watched everything in a complete daze… however, the destruction had just started.

"Why is this happening?" Leon muttered and bit his nails. "She shouldn\'t be able to interfere like this… rather isn\'t the attack of the dragons\' something she had forced to happen?"

Leon\'s mind was in turmoil. The future of the fourth Leon seemed pretty dark even though he saved Amanda and their parents. Considering everything he knew, the dark-haired woman appeared before and very suddenly because she suddenly recovered her memories. Still, even though she could summon thousands of dragons at that very moment, she wasn\'t supposed to be powerful enough to counter the effects of the spell Ilyana and Serena developed.

After thinking for a while, Leon finally had a vague idea of what the hell was going on. The black-haired woman didn\'t recover her memories at that point in time. Instead of that, she recovered those in the future, but she was using her powers to communicate with Leon in the past. Although that was insane, it wasn\'t crazier than make the time of every single thing that has mana reset.

Regardless, before leaving Phoenix, Leon drove the car and then stopped to check Hector and Sasha\'s houses. Surprisingly, they were both alive and well alongside their respective families. It was only natural that they would join forces and leave the city, and so they did it. The fourth Leon also tried to look for Betty, but he learned that she had moved alongside her parents to another state.

Half an hour later, Leon and a group of one hundred survivors left Phoenix. More than one hundred vehicles had joined them along the way, but most of them had been attacked by monsters, and they didn\'t make it.

Although Leon and the others wanted to move as much as possible away from Phoenix, they could only use only so much fuel. Besides, dragons weren\'t the only monsters that appeared. Even small ones like goblins could cause a lot of destruction. The gas stations along the way had met such ends. So, after a while, Leon and the other survivors were forced to abandon their vehicles and fight their way out while walking. Their numbers decreased at an astonishing rate. In the blink of an eye, Leon saw himself surrounded just by thirty survivors. His father had been gravely injured, and those who survived had wounds all over their bodies. As if that wasn\'t enough, they saw the very moment a hydrogen bomb exploded in Phoenix. Everyone watched in shock that massive mushroom cloud, and after a while, they felt the shockwave.

p "What the hell is going on here?" The fourth Leon finally asked himself now that he had some time to ponder about things. "What was that voice…"

"My name is Tyrselle," The fourth Leon suddenly heard her voice again. "It is nice to meet you."

Leon facepalmed when he heard that Tyrselle power to communicate with the past wasn\'t that restrictive by the look of things. So, he could easily imagine how Tyrselle would fool the fourth Leon… if that was her real name.

"Who are you?" The fourth Leon asked.

"I\'m someone from the future," Tyrselle said as a matter of fact. "I helped you, Leon because I also need your help."

The fourth Leon frowned when he heard that, but Leon facepalmed again. His theory was correct, but he didn\'t expect that Tyrselle would confirm that so easily. That was troublesome in many ways.

"From the future," The fourth Leon asked, surprised.

"Yes," Tyrselle replied. "That is why we can\'t meet face to face now. However, I assure you that if we work together, we can create a future where both of us will feel satisfied."

Leon sighed; those words would easily fool that Leon. Although he looked suspicious of Tyrselle, Leon himself was the type who would easily trust those who helped him in some way. To make things even more complicated, Tyrselle just didn\'t save him. Thanks to her words, Leon saved his whole family.

"What do you think, Leon?" Tyrselle asked. "I will give you all the knowledge that you need to protect those you care. If you form a contract with me, I swear that you will obtain the power to do so without relying on anyone. Also, the very moment I broke my words, you will be free from the contract."

The fourth Leon felt even more suspicious after hearing that. However, did he have any room to think about that? The answer was no. Dragons were destroying cities, and some assholes were dropping nukes on American soil. The future was uncertain, and Leon needed all the power and knowledge possible to survive and protect Amanda and his parents.

"I will accept the contract," Leon said. "As long as you don\'t lie and those dear to me don\'t die, I will help you."
