Although, for the time being, Leon couldn't create more than one hundred replicas, the rest of the mana he had was being used to make them move faster using Teleport. Little by little, Leon felt that his mana pool was increasing. However, before even ten of his replicas had used Absolute Mana Link, he felt their approach. Leon tried to be faster, but Ilyana, Tyrselle, and Sylas were already on their way. Leon thought of using Accelerate to buy some time, but that barely had any effect. Those three were powerful, after all.
Sylas and Tyrselle appeared in front of Leon, but Ilyana already appeared behind him and didn't waste time to hug him from behind. Although Leon saw that happening many times when he watched those memories, nothing could be compared to the real thing.
"You and your bad habit of keeping your eyes on me all the time," Leon forced a smile.
"You and your bad habit of always worrying me before you learn the truth," Ilyana said and then buried her face on Leon's back.
