When Leon noticed that he would have to face the four remaining enemies generals, he did the only thing he could do, run. Facing two of them at the time was suicide, fighting against four was asking to be tortured to death. That was even truer considering that Leon killed two of their friends.
"Now what?"
Even if Leon uses his spears and the plasma inside of them, it wouldn't be enough to kill the angels. He would only succeed if, by some miracle, he destroys the eyes of all of them, and like always, Leon didn't want to rely on luck.
"I have to get Soul Eater..."
There was also a possibility that Soul Eater wouldn't change anything. The harvesters used their skills like madmen and didn't even damage the angels. So, there was a chance that they used all the mana, and Leon was screwed. If that was the case, Leon's only choice was to use the dungeon and run away to the angels' planet. Finding the spirit of light there would be interesting, but not realistic, Leon also couldn't escape to Celosie in order to find Volt's fragment. It would take too much time to find its temple without asking the harvesters first.
While Leon was thinking about those things, the other four massive beams of light were shot toward him. Leon felt shivers when one of them felt very close to him… even though he was using Transfer and zig-zagging at the same time, that was a silly action considering the speed of those attacks.
"I guess it can't be helped…"historical
Leon returned to the region where he fought against Ivolaer and Adellum, without wasting a second, he used Summon Zombie on Adellum's body. His zombie got up and was waiting for orders.

"Oh, boy... how did I defeat this guy?"
Before Leon could answer his question, he passed one of his mithril spears to his zombie and gave him the order to play with his friends. The zombies lost several skills the angels were supposed to have, but it was strong nonetheless. It would at least buy Leon a few seconds.
The zombie started to fly using his damaged wings, and immediately, the four angels stopped when they recognized the armor that disfigured the creature was wearing. They got even more surprised when it attacked them fiercely... While the angels were trying to block the zombie's powerful attacks, Leon created a hole, closed it, and it was already moving toward the angels' dungeon at an incredible skill... all thanks to Earth Manipulation and Geomancy.

Leon hated that skill with passion because he knew that it was too convenient... a quick and easy way to solve his problems wasn't what he wanted. Regardless, even after getting several kilometers ahead from that place, Leon didn't leave his hideout, he only approached the surface to get some air, but always made sure to get rid of any evidence of the path he used.
"There is also the possibility that they will wait for me there... It's not like I can go to Celosie using Transfer. Even if I can travel between worlds using dungeons, it would be impossible to reach the angels' world if angels are still coming to this world..."
It looked like Leon's worries would never end... Regardless, even though he had to leave the gigantic equipment he made for the harvesters behind, he had more than enough mana and recovery to travel using an underground path without having to stop. After several hours digging in a straight line, Leon finally felt the harvesters' presence. He couldn't hear the sound of battles, but Leon decided to approach carefully. He could feel all of their six presences, but two of them were pretty weak.
"I don't feel the angels' presences, nor the sound of their minions leaving the dungeons..."
Leon used Magic Concealment and moved upward using the mithril spear of the devourers as a shovel. Eventually, he was back to the surface and could see everything around without being noticed. Jorhorn and Ismenria were severely injured, the others seemed fine, but they looked pretty tired and also had wounds on their bodies. Maybe it was to conserve energy, but they returned to their regular size. Thanks to it, Leon could see Soul Eater on Inglar's back.
"Shit... where in the hell is Ivolaer?" Inglar clicked his tongue. "Did he mess up?"
"If he didn't return until now, that is possible," Genelosa said. "That guy and the angel might have teamed up to kill him..."
"Shut up!" Inglar shouted. "He wouldn't die even if a worm and one of those bastards team up against him!"
"Just shut up and save your strength," Jertien said while he was meditating. "They might return at any moment, and we will need to be well-rested."
While they were talking, Jorhorn and Ismenria were unconscious, Alurelle was pouring health potions on the wounded. At the same time, she was biting her lips as if she was furious about something. The cause was probably Leon since he probably was the cause Jorhorn was in that state.
"It is a bit too soon to feel like that, my dear..."
