Regardless, Leon soon lost interest in that when he looked behind and saw a green monster behind him. Leon prepared himself to attack, but he stopped when he noticed the beast was wearing mage"s clothes, not only that, he could walk in two legs.

"h.e.l.lo." The dragonnewt said.

"So, it is you…" Leon said.

"Do you know me?" The dragonnewt tilted his head.

"You are the monster who gave William, Sanchez, and Alisson a hand, right?" Leon asked.

"It is impolite to call other "monsters," you know." The dragonnewt said. "You shouldn"t judge others just by their appearances.

"Sorry," Leon said.

"Anyway, you said William? Oh, the human who I gave a few presents!" The dragonnewt said. "Are you his friend?"

"… Is this some kind of joke?" Leon frowned. "He died, didn"t you take me to this place to kill me? I was the one who caused his death, after all."

"Oh, he died? I totally forgot about him." The dragonnewt said. "Don"t worry about it, we weren"t friends, I just wanted to use him a little, but he was so incompetent that I decided to leave him alone. I"m not here to kill you either. Well, not directly, at least."

"I see, so you can"t directly harm me for some reason…" Leon frowned.

"Yes, that is why I brought you to this place." The dragonnewt said." On this kind of stage, someone like you who has a bit of arcane talent won"t be able to keep yourself ahead of others."

"Talent? I thought I just worked hard and studied everything carefully…" Leon furrowed his eyebrows. "So, are you going to explain your masterplan now?"

"No, I will leave it to your imagination." The dragonnewt smirked.

"I imagined you would say that." Leon looked around, bored. "To tell you the truth, I know more or less you want me dead, and why you tried to help William. By giving them those presents, you hoped that they would lay the ground for you when the time comes to destroy Earth, right? As for me, you are trying to get rid of me because I"m speeding up the growth process of humans and making them work together."

"Oh, you are not half bad." The dragonnewt said.

"Thank you very much, but you know, it is kind of obvious when you think about it," Leon said. "Why would a creature like you help us behind the scenes? Because you want to use us to make yourself stronger. Just like us, you are from a planet that suddenly got invaded by monsters, you have come a long way since you have the power to travel between planets without relying on the purple crystals. Since I"m not hearing any sound coming from this world, it looks like you also have the power to control time. Still… you are a weakling in the grand scheme of things, that is why you are trying to intervene with humans."

"… As expected, I don"t like you." The dragonnewt furrowed his eyes. "You think of yourself as too smart and never shut up."

"Am I wrong?" Leon asked.

"… I will leave you alone now for you to enjoy your new environment." The dragonnewt looked at Leon viciously. "As much as I want to rip you to pieces myself, I have better things to do. Try not to die too soon."

As if he was a mirage, the dragonnewt slowly disappeared, and then suddenly, things got noisy. Even though Leon was in an alley where there were no mosquitoes, he heard the sound of a thousand mosquitoes buzzing near his ear.

"What the heck is this…"

Leon covered his ears, but it didn"t help him. It looked like the sound was being transmitted by mana. Leon didn"t have much time to think about that because the inhabitants of that world started to appear and looked directly at him. They were skinny and shorter than humans, but thanks to Mana Dominion, Leon noticed that they had a lot of mana. They were a lot like humans, but they had a blue gem in their forehead.

"I guess they noticed my presence due to my mana… it seems they are not happy to see me."

Leon dropped his guard for a second since they looked like humans, but the stone on their forehead made him understand that wasn"t the case. Well, maybe that was the cause since they were looking at him as if he was the alien invader.

While Leon was thinking about what to do, he felt several presences approaching. He didn"t see them, but he felt that they had a lot of mana. Even more, than Leon had… it wasn"t a good idea to stay and talk.

Leon created some earth under his feet and then started to fly, he had no destination for the time being, but he knew that he wanted to go a place where he couldn"t see the inhabitants of that world. However, before he could even start looking for a place, he saw several figures flying and fastly approaching Leon. Those were the people Leon felt the presences…

"Tsk… I will have to be a little violent."
