The next thing Leon knew, he was lying down on the cold surface of the ground, with the rough earth grazing his cheek.
The sensation felt so real, that it instantly jolted his mind from whatever state it was in, and his eyes snapped back open.
Leon gasped in shock, his eyes widening in shock as he stared at the dirt beneath his face.
He slowly placed his palms on the ground, using them to feel the firmness of the earth beneath him.
And to his surprise and relief, he could actually feel it! Ever better than he had ever did before.
The cool, hard texture of the ground reassured him that none of this was a dream, and he was really back... to the real world.
Normally, touched the dirty ground like this would repulse him, sothing he would have never found himself doing.
However, after coming back from getting wiped out of existence, even the rough feeling of the earth brought great joy to him.
’T-this... I’m back... I’m actually back.’ he thought, his heart racing as he slowly pushed himself up, standing back up on his feet.
’I... really ca back!’ He thought, staring at his hands in disbelief.
He could still rember how vivid the sensation felt when his body rapidly dissolved into those green particles, and now he was back... like nothing ever happened!
All the injuries on his body had also been healed, and except for his tattered cloths, he was back in peak... or rather, even better condition.
FWOOSH!!
While he was still processing his thoughts, a powerful surge of energy suddenly bursted out of his body, shooting into the sky with terrifying speed.
The brilliant white fla spread imdiately spread through the sky, painting the heavens with its radiant light.
The sheer force behind it sent a powerful gust of wind swirling around him, with the air crackling violently under the raw power radiating from him.
His eyes abruptly lit up with a brilliant white light, shining with an intensity that didn’t lose out to the blazing fla shrouding his body.
’What... so much energy!’ Leon thought, his eyes widening even more in shock.
None of what was happening made any sense to him, never in his life had he possessed this much energy!
Going by his rough estimation, the amount of power coursing through him currently was at least five hundred tis greater than the normal amount.
It was an astronomical increase, one they left him reeling in shock at how this was even possible!
It should be noted that his normal energy levels were nothing to scoff at. Through the relentless training and experience he had gained over the years, the white fla within him had grown a lot more powerful.
It couldn’t be compared in any way to the small flicker burning within his chest when he first awakened.
He had already nurtured it, developing it into sothing very formidable, that could stand even against gods.
However, the white fla he thought had already blood to its full potential seed insignificant in compassing to the raw amount of energy coursing through his body at this mont.
Leon relished in the warm, refreshing sensation coursing through his body, a mix of exhilaration and unease that made his skin tingle with excitent.
It was like he had finally been liberated from the invisible shackles that had been holding him down all his life.
He couldn’t help but wonder if all of this had sothing to do with that mysterious voice he had heard before, the one that had spoken to him within the white space.
’That voice clearly had sothing to do with this...’ Leon thought, his eyes narrowing into a slight frown.
The mory of that voice was etched within his mind, a reminder that whatever had happened to him was anything but ordinary.
As he wallowed within his thoughts, his body began to rise slowly, floating up to the sky.
The white fla enveloping him pulsed in sync with his heart beat, filling every fiber of his body with a strange sense of invincibility.
The sensation was so overwhelming, and he felt like he was on top of the world, that he could do anything he wanted to at this mont.
But at the sa ti, it also felt oddly terrifying, like he could get consud by this newfound energy if he wasn’t careful, thereby losing himself forever.
’I can’t let myself get distracted,’ Leon thought, snapping his mind back to reality.
Although he had so much power right now, he still felt pain deep within his heart.
He had indeed gotten over a hundred tis more powerful than before, more than he ever dread was even possible, however, what was the point?
Everything he had been fighting fore, the people he swore to protect, were already gone.
Starting from the love of his life, to his friends and family, and even his world... they had all been taken away from him.
That realisation was like a punch to the gut, which hurt him deeply in his soul.
Even with all this power, it felt aningless, because when he needed it the most, when he could have made a huge difference, it wasn’t at his grasp.
He could only watch helplessly as everything he held dear was stripped away from him.
Nonetheless, it didn’t an it was already the end for him, neither was it for his world.
Whatever happened to him in that strange white space, whatever reaching out to that ethereal hand did to him... it had fundantally transford him.
All the energy that was previously in the white space had been absorbed into him, raising the power he possessed by leaps and bounds.
He wasn’t the sa Leon he was before, he had beco sothing much more, sothing far greater than he had ever imagined!
This was his full potential unleashed before him... the true power of a manaless mage!
’I can see them...’ Leon mumbled inwardly, staring off into the distance.
Although they were very far away from him, he could easily pinpoint their exact location using his energy sense, which had grown even more powerful.
He knew without a doubt that Kronos and the other two celestials had sensed his energy by now.
The power bursting out from him was like a beacon, it was practically impossible to ignore, especially with how it clouded the whole sky.
Unlike before when he could easily compress his energy within his chest, preventing the aura from leaking out, there was nothing he could do to hold this one back.
The energy bursting out of him was just too much, like a huge body out water breaking through a small dam.
He couldn’t properly control it, rendering it impossible to conceal such a huge amount within him.
All he could do was let it flow freely, showcasing its power to the world.
Trying to force his body to contain such power would be disastrous to him, as his body might crumble from the overflowing energy.
’They have sensed ... but they keep standing in one spot.’ Leon thought, his lips slowly curling into a slight smirk. ’I wonder why... cowards.’
Since they were too scared to co to him, he would simply force them to co before him!
They were the cause of all of this in the first place, if only they had minded their business, none of this would have happened!
’If they think they can just cower away... I won’t let them!’ Leon thought, stretching his hand forward.
Crack!
Shatter!
Thin black cracks rapidly ford in the space before him, and in the next second, the very ’air’ shattered into countless pieces.
The broken remains quickly vanished into thin air, and three familiar faces imdiately appeared in front of him.
"Damn it..." Kronos muttered under his breath, staring at the bright white eyes of Leon with his body shuddering slightly in fear.
Orthon was standing beside him, floating in the air with the help of a pair of light shadow wings.
His usual calm, nonchalant deanour was no where to be found, replaced by an ugly, twisted expression as he stared at Leon.
"M-manaless mage..." Vordmont muttered, tightly gripping his spear at his side.

A few monts ago...
After they finished their business with Leon, the three celestials flew up to the high heavens, standing far above the earth.
Kronos’ eyes narrowed at the sight of the tiny structures beneath him, and he scoffed under his breath in disdain.
’With this, balance will be finally be restored!’ He thought, stretching out his arms to the side.
Swoosh!!
Six large green rings imdiately bursted out of his body, tightly coiling around the planet.
The rings humd with a dim green flow, rotating around the earth at terrifying speed.
Fwoosh!!’
However, an even stronger surge of energy suddenly swept over the planet, instantly shattering the six rings, leaving no trace of their forr existence.
"Kukh!!" Kronos’ eyes widened in shock, and his face rapidly paled in complexion, with blood spraying out of his mouth.
"T-this... energy..." He muttered, staring off at the white fla swirling violently within the skies.
