While Leon checked those notifications and Sylas tried to understand what happened, Leon concluded that he used a lot more mana than expected because his attack's power was the same as if it has last for several seconds. Even though it only lasted for a moment. Meaning, if Leon wanted to cause something, he would spend the mana necessary for that to happen. Even if the enemy's resistances weren't part of his calculus, he still would use the mana to do it.

"I already knew that, but this kind of power is way too complicated," Leon muttered while he was recovering his mana by using Mana Creation.

Leon smirked when Sylas moved his body as if he was trying to force his arm to return back in time, but then nothing happened. It seemed like Sylas didn't understand that his arm got sucked by a black hole that never existed. Even if the effect of black holes could be nullified, the same thing couldn't be said about one that was created through the power of conceptual attacks. Leon not only destroyed Sylas' arms. He erased it from time and space.

"Your power to control time exceed mine," Leon said. "However, considering that you decided to become a combat mage that only uses mana to buff your attacks, you will never be able to defeat me fast enough."

By the look of things, Sylas couldn't use the power of time alongside with other elements, or if he could, it wasn't at the level of his punches. Still, despite saying that, Leon still was feeling like crap. His mana was full again, but the headache didn't leave him alone. That was the price of using a powerful attack he wasn't used to.

Based on Leon's experience, now was the time for Sylas to pull out some hidden card, he didn't want to let that happen, but even though he was trying, he wasn't succeeding in repeating the attack. Leon thought that he would be able to do everything as long as the numbers in the status and skill screen were high enough, but it looked like that wasn't the case.

Without any other choice, Sylas used Full-Recovery, and a new arm grew. However, he had to pay the toll. Sylas got pale, and his body shrieked a little bit. However, unlike Leon, who was still slightly average physically speaking, Sylas was still muscular.

"No wonder your status looked funny," Leon said. "Even though you only use your fists and time magic, your status was of someone who chased both the magic and physical path. Was that something that your boss made you do?"

"What is the pointing of asking?" Sylas glared at Leon. "Will that change anything?"

"No, but it greatly interests me," Leon shrugged. "That won't change anything for me since I'm already physically a mage, but you know… for future reference."

Truth to be told, Leon was only interested in intellectually speaking because he couldn't believe that the path to becoming an all-rounder would be so simple. Leon didn't know if his power over time magic would be higher than Sylas' considering their status, but knowing about something was always better than not knowing. Perhaps that information could serve as some insight in the future. Regardless, Sylas didn't confirm or deny it. He was more interested in how Leon destroyed his arm.

Suddenly, Leon felt a wave of energy filling his body. It looked like his replicas finally managed to find other dragons and make them learn Mana Magnetism. Although they couldn't hide half-dead dragons, that was enough for the time being. After doing some more basic calculus, Leon summoned two other replicas and gave them different orders. Those two, he teleported them away to Miebos, to keep an eye on the angel's body and to summon monsters.

"I guess this is enough," Leon muttered. "I feel like I might explode my head if I try to attack that way again. "If I hold for just a couple of minutes, I feel confident that I will get enough mana to defeat him once and for all."

The very moment his new replicas began to work, Leon received those notifications. As expected, eventually, Sylas noticed that Leon was starting to accumulate much more mana than usual. He noticed that when after a single minute, Leon summoned another replica.

"… You… how in the hell you can do so many things?" Sylas asked.

Leon didn't have to answer that because the answer was obvious. It was training. Considering that Sylas could control time so well, he was supposed to know that. Regardless, just like Leon could use Mana Link after brainwashing monsters, he could summon others and do the same thing. Instead of making them battle, Leon would make them use Mana Magnetism and send their mana to him. It started slowly, but Leon now could use almost one hundred thousand mana points per second.
