Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

"I assume with all this mana at your disposal. You can teleport all of us to where that black hole," Yuki said, and then she looked around before sighing. "However, it looks like you won't be able to take everyone here alongside you. So, what is the plan?"

After working for several more days non-stop, Leon, Yuki, and Tyrselle managed to assemble a force of one hundred million warriors. Those were the people who survived the assimilation, at least until the fourth stage of the assimilation. All of them, more or less, could take down a dragon. However, now that everyone could feel the power of the system's creator just like they could feel the air and the rain on their bodies, they lost the will to fight. Only those who almost died dozens of times didn't lose their fighting spirit, and among that group, a little more than one hundred thousand fits in that criteria. Even some of the warriors that are being led by Crik once again lost their courage. Upon noticing that, Leon understood that things wouldn't go as planned.

Leon looked around and saw the leaders of each race, people he never met, people he met in order lives, and people that were once his enemies. They were his allies for the time being, and as such, he would explain to them his plans without hiding anything.

"Although I want all the help I can get, we don't know what is waiting for us inside the black hole," Leon replied. "So, I think it would be safe if Ilyana, Tyrselle, and I were the first ones to go. Our main goal is to nullify the effects and everything the system caused, with or without a fight. It will be easier to convince whoever is on the other side that we only want to talk if we bring a small group of people first."

"Isn't that too risky?" Hector asked. "Let's suppose that whoever is on the side is willing to talk and attend our demands. Even if they say, they are going to do what we want, what assurances do we have that things will go the way we want?"

"He is right," Tyrselle said. "The best way to assure that we will have what we want is by defeating the creator of the system. If he has access to even more mana than we have, he might as well be watching us right now and try to fool us later."

"You are not entirely wrong, but you are not entirely correct either," Leon said. "I know that you don't want to take any chances, but just like you, I don't want that either. Before, I thought that the system's creator was an enemy, but right now, I'm wondering if that is really the case. Maybe they had a good reason to start all this… maybe that reason won't convince us, but just assuming that their reason doesn't matter might cause problems for all of us in the future."

'In other words," Amanda frowned.

"In other words, we will go ready to fight, but not without trying to talk," Leon said. "At any sign that negotiation isn't an option, we will fight. I will trust your judgment when the time comes. You guys don't have to follow my command. If any of you notice anything strange, you not only can but must teleport all those who are ready to fight and help us. That being said, try not to let your feelings get in the way."

Leon said all that while looking at Tyrselle. She didn't survive that long, relying on her talent alone. She was also cold-hearted enough to take hard decisions to reach her goal but considering they were going to face the system's creator. She might as well go even crazier than before when she tried to destroy an entire galaxy just to decrease Ilyana and Leon's power.

"Anyway, since training might as well just increase the difficulty of the next battle, all those who will stay behind should just focus on creating potions," Leon said. "That way, we will only be using the mana that already exists."

Leon already had used Skill Bestowal and gave everyone the knowledge of how to use Full-Recover. So, as long as they react on time, they will be able to avoid death a few times. He also taught them space magic, which they were using to store all kinds of things… Leon also gave them the knowledge of how to produce an armor that would be connected to their inventories and would use potions automatically. If Leon had time, he would teach them many more things just to increase their chances of victory, but since they were in a race against time, they couldn't. The more they wait, the more the creator of the system would become powerful.

"Well, this is the last chance," Leon said. "Who wants to give us a motivational speech? We don't know if we will have to fight or not, but now is the time for that since I doubt that we will have time for it later."

"Brother… stop joking around," Amanda said and then pinched Leon's side.

Leon could only shrug at that because he wasn't joking. If someone wanted to say something, anything, now was the time. However, no one had anything to said. After surviving for so long, words were unnecessary. Actions could show much more than words, and that was even truer to those who lived for hundreds of years.

"Don't you want to use the mana to make everyone remember of you?" Ilyana asked.

"No… not doing that now will motivate me more to succeed and then do that later," Leon said.

Leon didn't use enough mana to make the spirits remember him. Thanks to it, despite having access to Leon's memories, they didn't know how to treat him. Aside from Serena, all the other spirits were weirdly quiet. It was only natural because that situation was similar to finding the mother and father they never thought they had.

Ilyana could only nod at that because she could understand his motives. At that moment, they would need all the motivation they can get. Leon didn't want farewells, so he only teleported himself, Ilyana, and Tyrselle to where the black hole was.
