"Thanks, Sylph," Leon said. "From here on out, I can continue alone."

"Roger!" Sylph smiled energetically and then disappeared.

Leon thought that were many other spells that had low cost, but it looked like he was wrong. The variety only increased when the cost increased as well. That became obvious after Leon learned a few more spells from Sylph. If the spirits didn't know spells that had a low cost of mana like elemental needles and bullets, then it was clear that they didn't exist.

Despite that, not everything was bad news. Leon was getting closer to his spirits, and their loyalty was increasing with that, and it would only increase the more Leon interacts with them.

Congratulations! The skill Lion's Pride has leveled up.

To make things even better, Lion's Pride was still leveling up, even though his spirits were fighting and training alongside him. In the end, that was a bit obvious since the spirits became part of his strength, after all.

"Let's see... after leveling up those two new spells, I should level up a few others that I already have up to level fifty."

"Aww... but it was my turn next," Gnome said, disappointed.

"Just wait a few days, and it will be your turn, Gnome," Leon forced a smile.

Even though Gnome stayed materialized for several days to help Leon expand his plantation, he still wanted more... of the spirits, he was the one who disliked most staying in his non-material form.

Leon's momentum was good, so he decided to keep himself focused, but it looked like fate had other plans. Just when he was about to summon Gnome and ask him to teach a few spells. He heard Ilyana's voice inside his head.

"We have a problem," Ilyana said, using Telepathy. "It looks like something is going to happen on Earth."

"What is going to happen?" Leon asked.

"The humans that followed your friends, Gisela, Lennard, and Tom returned to Earth," Ilyana hesitated for a while. "... and they are heading to Japan."

"Maybe that is just a coincidence..." Leon started to bit his nails. "When I saw their city, they didn't look like they were planning a war."

"That doesn't change the fact that they didn't even stop to rest on their previous camp," Ilyana said. "Besides, they only sent powerful soldiers... I would say that they want to cause massive damage to Japan in order to make think twice before they try to banish them from the planet again."

"Shit... How didn't I notice that Gisela had such a goal?" Leon bit his lips. "It was evident that was the case... she was training a lot at the top of that tower. I just hope that my words didn't cause this..."

"What are you going to do?" Ilyana asked.

"... Just let them do whatever they want until they are tired of it," Leon smirked when he had an idea.

"It looks like you have a plan," Ilyana studied Leon. "I hope you won't cause more problems than solve them."

Leon used Transfer and then reached the purple crystal that would lead him back to Earth. Fortunately, Leon already knew the route Gisela, Lennart, and Tom would take since he knew the place they came from. So, he found them after a few hours in the middle of the previous Russian territory.

"It looks like they have more or less fifty thousand soldiers... Now that I can see them, it is evident that they want to fight. Still, I have to talk with them."

No one noticed Leon's approach while he was flying high in the sky, so Gisela, Lennart, Tom, and the soldiers got startled when Leon suddenly landed in front of them. Even though a few of them recognized Leon, they didn't drop their guard.

"You?" Gisela frowned. "What are you doing here?"

"It has been a while, everyone," Leon said. "It looks like you guys are going to a party? Are you sure that this is a good idea?"

"Are you working for the Immortal Empress?" Lennart readied himself.

"Nope, even though I talk with her now and then, we aren't allies, at least for the time being," Leon answered. "Gisela, if you are commanding this attack, I would like you to stop."

"... Why do you use my name as if you know me?" Gisela frowned. "I don't feel any ill intentions coming from you. But I won't back off even from someone like you who defeated us. We were allies before, but that woman didn't hesitate to chase us out of the planet just because we weren't as radicals as her."

"Considering the current you, I don't think it would be a good idea to explain why I talk like that," Leon explained. "Let's forget the past and focus on the future... Nor you or Yuki will have a good future if you guys headbutt each other."

"... We will fight and obtain our right to live on this world again," Gisela said. "If you get on our way, we destroy you too."

"No, I won't get on your way," Leon smiled. "I will just get on the way of those who try to destroy this planet."
