Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

"What is going on?"

"What happened?"

"Where are we?"

As expected, several humans began to panic when they suddenly got teleported to Ilyana's planet. However, most of them calmed down when they felt the presence of their leaders. Hector, Amanda, Maya, Sasha, Betty, Lennart, Gisela, Tom, Yuki, and Ren.

"Leon?" Hector frowned. "What is going on here? We were fighting the invaders, then they disappeared, and after a while, we felt something weird… they are here."

When Hector finally saw the enemies he had been fighting with a while ago, he stopped talking. As expected, Tyrselle's followers caused a lot of destruction in just a few hours. All of Leon's friends had wounds all over their bodies, and they looked exhausted. Despite all that, they were glaring at the enemies before them as if they couldn't care less about their wounds.

"As you can see, I teleported all of you to fight alongside us," Leon said. "This is Ilyana… I guess she is my wife. Also, she was the one who has been helping me all this time. The black-haired woman over there is the leader of the invaders. This is probably the last battle, and we have to defeat her before all the stars in this galaxy crush us."

"What?" Hector asked in shock.

It was hard to tell for what information he was shocked. If it was due to the fact that Leon married an alien, or if the final enemy was finally in front of them. Or if perhaps it was due to the fact that they could die before they defeat the enemies due to a crazy attack.

"I think you are too calm about all of this," Ilyana frowned. "Also, if you want to make them fight more fiercely, you should make them relief the memories of the past where they still could remember you."

"Are you sure?" Leon asked. "I thought you would be the last person who would agree to that."

"Yeah, now that you recovered your memories and still want to fight alongside me, then I don't mind," Ilyana smiled.

"Why?" Leon frowned. ���Are you scared before that I would live among the humans again and create another harem?"

"Just a little bit… but those doubts vanished from my mind already," Ilyana replied.

Talking with Ilyana while she wasn't hiding anything sure was nice, but Leon couldn't help but wonder if they really had time for that. Fortunately, the closest stars were moving slowly by the look of things while the distant ones are moving faster, so they still had some time. However, that also meant that Tyrselle wanted to crush everything without leaving any room for error.

"What do you guys think?" Leon asked for his old friends. "Do you want me to make all of you remember the things you forgot about me?"

Everyone looked at each other, dubiously. If Leon had such power, then he might as well have the power to brainwash them. It was risky, but given that he was asking for permission, perhaps there was no need to be afraid. Besides, if Leon could teleport all the people from Earth to another planet, then he could brainwash them even if they try to resist.

"Go on," Hector stepped forward and said.

"Always you, huh," Leon sighed. "Well, I can't say that I'm surprised."

Leon touched Hector's forehead and then, in the blink of an eye, transported Hector to his mindscape, where he showed him the memories after he escaped the island, how he met Ren, Makoto, Yuki… how he returned home. The people he fought and finally the moment where they reunited. After that, Leon accessed Hector's memories and made him relive everything he experienced from the moment the dragons appeared until the moment Leon disappeared again. Everything happened in the blink of an eye, but surprisingly, he didn't feel dizzy or anything similar. Instead of that, Hector blinked a few times, and then he began to laugh maniacally.

"I guess after this. People will think that I really have the time to brainwash them," Leon frowned. "By the way, why are Tyrselle's soldiers so quiet?"

When Leon looked at them, he saw them moving… very slowly. The same thing was happening to the humans, they began to run, but they weren't running that fast. The only ones who weren't affected by whatever was going on were Leon, Ilyana, his friends, and Sylas and Tyrselle.

"I imagined you need some time to restore their memories," Sekundez said. "So, I created a temporal barrier to buy the time you needed."

"Thank you, Serena," Leon said. "Come here. As a reward, I will give you a bear hug."

"Shut up,…" Sekundez said. "Don't say such a thing with a straight face. It is gross."

Leon shrugged. Regardless, Hector finally stopped his laugh, and everyone looked at him dubiously. However, there wasn't any sign of insanity in his eyes. If anything, he only looked refreshed.

"Man… I can't believe I became such a serious guy," Hector smiled and then laughed for a moment again. "You took your time to return, Leon. Still… sorry for forgetting about you."

"You talk as if I replaced your personalities," Leon frowned.

"No, but you made me recall and feel how when I was young," Hector said and then patted Leon's right shoulder. "This was just a personification of the past me… Welcome back, Leon."

Leon couldn't help but smile while watching Hector. For the first time since he returned to Earth, he could see in his eyes that Leon was more than just a powerful stranger that could help him when he needs… he was a friend. In any case, after watching them for a while, Amanda stepped forward. She still looked hesitant, but in her eyes, Leon could see that she wanted something. Without hesitation, Leon touched her head.
