Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

Leon opened his arms and then began to focus while he was watching the battlefield. Hector and Ren charged toward the enemies engulfed by massive Fireballs, and even though they failed in killing all those who tried to stop them, both knocked down several enemies. Thousands of humans followed them by behind, but at the time they finally had the chance to do anything, Tyrselle's soldiers were already back on their feet.

A few kilometers away from there, Leon saw Sasha and Betty leading another group of humans. Unlike Hector and Ren, who was fighting mindlessly, those two were charging alongside the humans and offering them support when necessary. Thus, preventing anyone from getting critically wounded. They were both good at fighting while watching their surroundings. However, after a while, humans began to notice that the enemies were healing incredibly fast. Fortunately, they had no idea what was going on. Ilyana and Serena were too skilled to be let seen by them, after all.

"What are you plotting?" Tyrselle asked via Telepathy.

"I'm preparing a big surprise," Leon replied. "I can't convince you to stop, but I can force you to bend your knee once I win in your own game."

"You are only wasting time and energy…" Tyrselle said. "I will reach my goal… no matter what."

"I'm sure of that, but things won't go exactly as you want," Leon nodded.

Tyrselle didn't like the total confidence in Leon's voice, but she couldn't back down now. She knew what he was planning, just like Ilyana did several times, he will reset the time of everything, and then all of them would be forced to relive those painful memories again. Tyrselle didn't know how they could do that, knowing how much they would suffer, nor did she want to understand. She only wanted to prevent it and then someday revive the most important person to her.

Tyrselle closed her eyes and then clearly saw that scene that happened thousands of years ago. Her world wasn't much advanced, and its inhabitants were constantly fighting amongst themselves for petty reasons. Thanks to all the fighting, she had lost her parents, and the whole village where she lived was destroyed. The sole survivors were the fifteen years old Tyrselle and her three years younger brother.

It didn't matter if the first kid was a boy or a girl, and in the culture of Tyrselle's world, the eldest kid of a family had the duty to protect the younger ones no matter what, even at the cost of their lives. Tyrselle did her best and then succeeded in protecting her brother until they reached a cave and hid there, but then it happened… monsters began to spawn in that world, and the cave where Tyrselle and her little brother were hiding became a dungeon… the Earth Dragons' dungeon.

Although, after a while, humans could fight dragons, and in the early stages of the assimilation, monsters were at their weakest point, there wasn't much Tyrselle, and her little brother could do when they saw the first Earth Dragon. The creature shot an Earth Arrow, and that made her little brother's body explode in thousands of pieces. Tyrselle watched that happen with her eyes full of horror. However, before she could become the next target, Tyrselle awakened her powers in her rage. Somehow, with the little mana that she had, Tyrselle used gravity and made the dragon explode as well… leaving only its heart behind. Before Tyrselle could fall unconscious and die once the next earth dragon appears, she saw the heart and felt the urge to ate it. Somehow, she could sense a massive amount of power in it… Tyrselle ate it, and then her journey began…

Tyrselle opened her eyes and then glared at Leon in the distance. He couldn't imagine the weight of the responsibility that she has been carrying for thousands of years. He also had a little sister, a sister that he lost a few times… he also lost his parents many times, but he never thought of reviving them. Yet, he was getting in the way of someone who wanted to accomplish what seemed impossible. That wasn't something she couldn't forgive… it was only obvious that she couldn't reach a middle ground with someone that she couldn't forgive.

Feeling the alteration in Tyrselle's mana, Leon confirmed once more that she wouldn't back down. He felt that perhaps telling his plans to her might make her change her mind, but Leon's plan was risky. If Tyrselle wanted something so badly that she didn't hesitate in decimating billions of humans, then it was clear that she wouldn't trust the methods of someone else. She was the type of woman who wouldn't entrust her ambitions to someone else.

Leon sighed and then turned his eyes to observe Amanda and Maya fighting together. He smiled when he saw mother and daughter working so well together. Maya was leading another group's charge, and Amanda was offering firing support with pinpoint precision. For a moment, Leon smiled, imagining how nice it would have to have such a chance. He played quite a bit with them before the first reset, but not as much as he really wanted.

Regardless, in the eastern flank, Leon could see Lennart guiding several mages. They were physically weaker, just like Leon, but they had a lot of firepower. That was why while they were making rain Fire Meteors on the enemies, Tom and the most resilient warriors were protecting them from all angles.

Lastly, Leon saw something that made him frown. Ren and Hector were quite wild while they fight, but it couldn't be compared to Gisela and Yuki. Although Leon gave them the power to communicate with as many people as possible, they were only charging recklessly without leading anyone. Still, just their attacks and fury were enough to make thousands of people follow them… even though they were covered in the enemies' blood from head to toe.
