Leon spent one month to level up Plasma Arrow up to level one hundred, once the skill reached level fifty, he could one-shot kill krakens and ancient horned whales. So, Leon was more than satisfied with the power of his new spell.
Soul Eater
It drains and stores all the mana of enemy foes.
Mana Stored: 16251369741
"I guess this is enough... with his much mana, I will be able to use Sword of Light combined with Fast Conjuration and Multi-Conjuration for more than one day without stopping... I can only hope that this will be enough."
Leon decided to take a day off before facing the shadowy figure. Fortunately, he was quite close to the first island he used alongside Darya and decided to go there. Any signs of their actions there disappeared. Still, that much was fine, Leon just decided to lay on the sand and just sleep. Even though Leon\'s Mana Armor was active, he still didn\'t manage to relax. Despite that, no monster came even close to Leon.
" I guess the monsters can feel my mana and understand that they don\'t stand a chance..."
In the end, Leon soon got bored... it was too late, he had already become a workaholic. Regardless, Leon headed toward the liches\' dungeon. It didn\'t take long for him to arrive there, and surprisingly, he wasn\'t nervous. However, he got surprised when he saw Darya in front of the dungeon alone.
"What are you doing here?" Leon frowned.
"I\'m just doing some inspections," Darya answered. "So, why did you leave those magic items behind?"
"It was payment for the help," Leon answered. "Well, it was nice to see you here."
"… Aren\'t you going to enter this dungeon?" Darya asked.
"Nope, I was just passing by," Leon said and then used Transfer.
Leon didn\'t understand, but that coincidence was a bit strange. So, Leon decided to hide and wait until Darya leaves, but after several hours, she was still standing in front of the dungeon.
"What the hell is she doing here?"
Something was off… Still, Leon had no idea why Darya was there. She didn\'t show any signs that she recovered her memories, after all. Anyway, it looked like Leon would spend too much time waiting for her to leave.
"Seriously, what are you doing here?" Leon asked once he returned to the entrance of the dungeon.
"… I dreamed about this place," Darya answered while looking at the dungeon.
"… You inspected this place many times, right?" Leon hesitated. "It wouldn\'t be weird if you dreamed about this place once or twice. Since this dungeon is quite different from the others… Anyway, why are you disobeying your grandfather\'s last words?"
"I always wondered why I had the skill to summon lesser spirits while others didn\'t," Darya said. "Grandfather said that once I decided to explore a dungeon and found by coincidence, two spirits that were about to die… He said that I went to that dungeon alone, but I once dreamed that I met two spirits, and I wasn\'t alone."
Leon wondered how that was possible. He knew that the spell to erase memories couldn\'t be countered, and the lost memories couldn\'t be recovered. That kind of magic was useful, but it was so repulsive that Leon didn\'t even think once of learning. Killing an enemy on a battle was the result of several things, it couldn\'t be helped sometimes, but erasing the memories of anyone was disgusting beyond reason.
"I don\'t remember the face of the person, but I think it was you," Darya said. "In the dream, I couldn\'t see your face or body clearly, but the shadow used the same spells you used during some fights against monsters."
"You are just imagining things…" Leon looked away a bit perplexed.
"...Before the death of my grandfather, I also had several dreams where I was going to the research center," Darya explained. "For some reason, I don\'t remember anything inside the research center, but I remember the day where I stopped going there... that day someone pointed a spear at me... I remember that person\'s voice. It was yours."
"... Aren\'t you dreaming a bit too much?" Leon gulped. "Considering that you are forty years old?"
"How did you know how old I am?" Darya asked.
"Well... you are the most important person of this world, politically speaking," Leon said. "That kind of information is common knowledge..."
"Only my grandfather and I know how old I am..." Darya said. "Right now, that information is a secret, and I don\'t plan to reveal to anyone since there are people much older than me, and they would use my age as an excuse to take my place. Well... it doesn\'t matter. I just want to confirm if those dreams are just hallucinations or if they really happened. Look at me in the eye and tell me if they happened or not."

Leon wasn\'t afraid of dying, but he was quite scared of keeping lying and acting as if nothing was wrong. Dying was one thing, dying knowing that you kept lying to someone you cared about was... unsettling.
"You don\'t want to hear the truth," Leon said. "And you won\'t have any reason to believe me, anyway."
"Just answer my question, and I will decide everything by myself," Darya said. "I don\'t need to hear your excuses."
Leon breathed in deeply before he explained everything about what happened to Darya, and the more she heard, the darker her face became.
