Leon found a lot of gremlins in some villages. The little devils sometimes just enjoyed watching things burn. That became clear once Leon realized that there were no rat-men nearby. Regardless, Leon could easily escape from their sight and explode their heads using Transfer and Plasma Bullet. Besides, he also could restore his mana using their spears, so they were just a minor nuisance.
"I'm starting to wonder if Ilyana actually wanted to make me see this and experience the tension and apprehension while searching for the targets..."
Although he was doing an important job, things could have ended quickly if Ilyana had told him the precise location of the rat-men. So, he couldn't help but feel that she also had other goals aside from killing possible future enemies.
Just a few hours had passed since Leon started his search, but it was already getting dark in that world. Although his eyes wouldn't be that efficient at night, he decided to keep looking for the targets, just in case something unexpected happens. Unfortunately, as usual, fate itself would make sure to surprise Leon no matter what. Despite his cautiousness, he quickly found signs of his targets, and it looked like he had a visitor. Leon noticed that after seeing a battlefield that had signs of a recent battle, Leon deactivated Anti-Mana Field for a moment and felt trails of mana of six individuals... Ilyana said that he would kill five.
"To leave so much mana behind that even Mana Dominion can still feel it... I don't remember seeing or feeling anything like this before."
Leon wondered if he would have felt something like that when he fought against the fake harvesters and the angels. Those guys and the rat-men probably had the same level of power, after all. In fact, since they had flashy attacks, the chances of that being true were high, but he didn't use Mana-Dominion when he fought against them. It didn't matter, either way. Leon found their trail, and someone was with them... and only someone troublesome would appear at such an inconvenient time.
Looking around and toward all directions, Leon tried to imagine which direction they went. He didn't find any mana aside from the center of that battlefield, so Leon wouldn't be able to feel the mana in the air in case they run away flying. Leon wasn't a tracker either, so he doubted that he would find any of their signs on the ground.
"I should have learned some tracking skills or spells..."
The current range of Leon's Mana Dominion was three hundred meters. At the level max, the range would be two kilometers. However, that was the limit of the skill when it was used automatically... the same way Leon could create a hundred kilometers long spear and two meters long, he could alter the power and range of his spells. Since the cost of Mana Dominion was small, Leon was sure that he would be able to expand its current range a lot. However, there was a problem. The moment Leon find them, they would discover Leon too. At the very least, the sixth individual would feel Leon's mana.

Thanks to his high intelligence and control, Leon managed to increase the range of Mana Dominion at an astonishing speed. If he knew that he could level up that skill like that, Leon would have done it much before. Regardless, the range that was three hundred meters became three kilometers in just a few minutes. Leon's mana was being consumed much faster than before, and he was also feeling an annoying headache since he could feel the presence of hundreds of monsters, but he didn't stop.
When Leon was about to run out of mana, he felt six humanoid-like presences ten kilometers north of his position inside a mountain. He also noticed that one of them noticed Leon's presence. Without wasting time, Leon used his remaining mana to approach the nearest Gremlin and then hit its head with his elbow. Before the creature could fall, Leon grabbed it and used Mana-Absorption to recover his mana. When his mana was full again, he killed the beast and picked its spear... he would need all the mana he could get.
Ten seconds later, Leon was at the top of the mountain where he felt the presence. However, even though his Mana Dominion was supposed to make still Leon feel their presence, he couldn't at the moment. Leon looked around and then saw small points flying the distance.
"They sure are fast..."
Leon used Transfer and appeared two hundred meters away from them. At that distance, Leon finally could see five rat-men and the sixth individual. Much to his surprise, he closely resembled a human... black short hair, brown eyes, and no physical sign that made him look like a member of another species. However, Leon saw a tattoo of a dragon on the left arm of the sixth human, and it closely resembled the ones Leon saw on Earth. The only difference was the pieces of silver armor around his body.
"A human?"
Leon caught off guard. He didn't expect to find a human in such a place. It looked like he wasn't the only irregular human on Earth that had different experiences than most. However, the surprises didn't end there. The sixth man shot several magic projectiles, and Leon frowned when one of them passed by his Mana Armor and instantly destroyed his arm.
