Although Leon was curious about such espionage work, he decided not to ask about it. Leon already owed too many favors to Ilyana, and if he starts to ask even more questions, his debt will increase. If soday she asks for sothing, Leon would feel almost forced to obey her.
"It looked like things went well with your friends," Ilyana concluded just by looking at Leon. "Still, I think you are spoiling them a bit too much. Giving them the power of spirits and even saving them so fast..."
"... You can read minds and even see my past actions?" Leon frowned. "Couldn't have you just done that when you first t ? There was no reason to answer my questions."
"As I said before, you can beco an ally, would you trust soone who would use such powers the very mont you et?" Ilyana asked.
"I wouldn't trust soone who reads my mories like that, even if that soone was my sister..." Leon answered.
"Now that you ntion... that makes sense," Ilyana said, looking briefly startled. "Sorry about that, it is a bad habit I have. It takes too much ti to collect intel by talking."
It seed that Ilyana's common sense was deviating since she barely had any contact with other sentient beings. Ilyana couldn't waste much ti if she wanted to beco powerful enough to kill the harvesters and the creature that caused the fall of her planet and many others. So, that kind of thing couldn't be helped.
"Anyway, you want Volt's interdiate fragnt location, right?" Ilyana asked. "Since you already have five spirits, you just have to find him, and he will accept beco your ally. After touching the crystal, just for a temple at the top of the tallest mountain of that world. You can't miss it."
"Will it be that simple?" Leon frowned.
"Yes," Ilyana nodded. "Although you are an exception since you obtained their cooperation pretty fast. Spirits tend to attract each other and long for the presence of their equals. Usually, the level of the spirits affect the chances of another spirit joining your team, but considering that you already have five of them, such a thing won't matter. Besides, Volt tends to be the spirit who cherishes most the presence of other spirits."
Leon nodded, that made sense considering his experience with the other Volt he t. Still, receive his help without doing anything was convenient, but Leon felt quite troubled by it. Without waiting if Leon wanted to ask anything more, Ilyana teleported him to the dungeon what would lead him to the planet where he would find Volt's interdiate fragnt.
"Now that I think about it... it is pretty weird that a single world has a link to other worlds that has all the six most common spirits."
"Yes... your redhead friend is certainly hiding sothing," Celsius said, and Leon imagined her frowning. " She already has the fragnt of all other spirits, so why would she stay in a planet that is connected to other planets where there are other fragnts?"
���Who cares?" Sylph said.
"You guys worry about every single detail..." Gno sighed. "It is just a coincidence."
"Let's fight, Leon!" Efreet laughed. "Those hippogryphs didn't even work as a warm-up."
Leon wondered his spirits couldn't be just a little less oblivious to his problems. Still, Undine didn't say what she thought about that, so Leon was quite curious about her opinion.
"What do you think about this, Undine?" Leon asked.
"... She is sleeping," Celsius answered after a few seconds.
"Since when? Do you guys even need to sleep?" Leon frowned.
"No, we don't. But we can if we feel like it." Celsius answered. "She has been sleeping since you returned."
Leon sighed, it would be much more convenient if the spirits were wiser and serious as Leon imagined that they were. However, they resembled humans a bit too much. Regardless, Leon touched the crystal and then found himself in another world that had a lot of mountains. However, that one was pretty dark. Even though Leon felt that it wasn't night, the thunderclouds were so nurous that the sunlight was barely passing by them.
Suddenly a lightning bolt fell from the sky and hit Leon's mana armor, he only lost five percent of his mana, but Leon was quite surprised that the scare decreased his lifespan in a few decades.

"Holy crap... it looks like today is the day where the will of the universe decided to scare the crap out of ."
Leon saw several other lightning bolts falling nearby. Maybe it was just a coincidence, but Volt certainly found an appropriate place to stay given his elental nature. A few kiloters north of where he was, Leon found one big ass mountain, and it looked like that was the mark zero of the destruction caused by those thunderclouds. Everything Leon could see was a lifeless wasteland. He could see signs of charcoal that once were trees that had been hit again and again by those lightning bolts... yet, there was no sign of rain.
"Again... another planet in which the weather doesn't make any sense. Or perhaps I don't know anything about climatology... both options are very likely."
Congratulations! The skill Mana Armor has leveled up.

A man once said, 'Lightning never strikes the sa place twice.' Now more than ever, Leon was sure such a man never left Earth. Regardless, even though that was scary and not good for his heart and eardrums, Leon didn't hurry and just left his Mana Armor protect him while he was consuming his mithril spears using Mana-Eater.
