Although that was very convenient, Leon frowned when he heard that. He could feel Shadow's presence and power, and it was clear that he was much stronger than the other spirits, with the exception of Sekundez. So, why would he help Leon so readily when the others tested his prowess?

"Are you fine with that?" Leon frowned.

"Well, yeah… life here is boring, and I don't want to die," Shadow replied. "So, following you is my only option."

"I never said I was going to kill you if you refuse to help…" Leon narrowed his eyes. "I believe I didn't think that, so why did you assu that?"

"Because I'm the only fragnt remaining of the real Shadow," Shadow explained. "Knowing that, will you give up that easily on my power and cooperation?"

Leon sighed… Although he thought once of even killing Sekundez if she proved herself to be an enemy, he didn't think he would have to consider that after obtaining her power and cooperation. That was really troubleso since Leon really wanted to learn teleportation.

"… I won't force you, but leaving without your power isn't an option for ," Leon said after a long sigh. "Can't we reach an agreent? Why don't you test more to confirm that I deserve your cooperation?"

"You survived Sekundez's trial. It doesn't matter what I do to test you. You will succeed," Shadow shrugged. "Many people tried to find , and almost all of them give up after finding this planet… but you found in just re monts."

That made sense, but Leon didn't want the cooperation of a spirit like that. Everything he did so far, except for a few things, Leon felt like he deserved everything he obtained, and he didn't want to stop now. Besides, it would not be very pleasant to have a spirit that didn't want to follow him talking inside his head now and then.

"How about this… if you co with , I will help you to the best of ability to avenge the other fragnts like you," Leon said. "As you said, you are the only fragnt of the shadow is still free, but many others were killed. In fact, I think we have a common enemy… I know soone who killed a fragnt like you."

"What is the point of that?" Shadow asked. "That won't change anything… Even though so spirits want to avenge their friends, most of us can't see the point in more fruitless violence and actions."

Shadow was a pain in the ass in many ways. Despite that, Leon was getting tired or impatient. At the very least, he was more reasonable than so spirits. In any case, Shadow was a difficult spirit to deal with, but if the worst cos to the worst, Leon would have just to endure Shadow's behavior. He wanted more allies, but in the end, to reach his goals, Leon didn't have to befriend every single spirit.

"Shadow… I don't know for how long you lived, but I must warn you that things will change," Sekundez said. "A big battle that will escalate quickly just started on Leon's planet, and based on my experience, that battle will change many things and cause the end of many races. Unless you want to stay here until you ran out of mana, your sole option is to co with us and do sothing about your lack of motivation."

"Well, I don't really care about dying or living…" Shadow said. "There is nothing for out of this place. I'm just a fragnt, after all."

"Leon, use Mana Absorption on him," Sekundez said.

"Why?" Leon frowned.

"Let's see if he really doesn't care about living or dying," Sekundez replied. "His behavior probably will change once he sees his very existence disappearing."

Shadow didn't say anything to that, but Leon wondered if spirits could fear death. Even after coming this far, Leon didn't know what will happen once he dies. Considering how many he killed, he probably would go to hell, but he was unsure if hell actually existed. In any case, given that Shadow would lose its power, it was better to drain his mana before he decides to cooperate with Leon. It was a bit risky, but Leon decided to trust the judgnt of soone who lived ten tis more than him.

Leon thought sothing would happen to him once he touches Shadow's body, but nothing really happened. Most likely, the shadows around his body could harm his enemies, but Shadow could control it. Regardless, Leon started to use Mana Absorption, and at the sa ti, he was creating a mithril spear using Shadow's mana. It didn't take long before the spear was ten ters long… as expected, Shadow had a lot of mana stored, just like Sekundez, but that was kind of obvious since the stronger they were, more mana they would consu to keep their physical form. After one hour, the spear was one hundred ters long, and its weight was over five hundred tons.

"For soone who says that doesn't care about living or dying, you sure stored a lot of mana to live a long life," Sekundez said.

"Ah… okay, okay… I want to live," Shadow said after a long sigh. "Dying must be pretty boring, after all."
