Leion was pushed out by the guard, and then he glared at him.

"Why did you push me out?" Questioned Leion.

"Sir. I do apologise for my behaviour, but I have been ordered to do that, and we did need to resort to drastic measures! I am willing to accept any punishment for my injured comrades!" Explained the guard and kneeled down.

"You are saying that I am weak? Teach might have more experience and have greater physical strength, but due to my great aptitude in magic, I am already stronger than him!" Said Leion angrily.

"Sir... I didn't mean it like that... You are too soft... Sir Lenodin can be ruthless, and due to his many years of experience, he knows where to hit to cause the most pain." Added the guard while still kneeling.

"Why is everyone so on about experience... Also, why is it that everyone I know loves talking with their fists?" Asked Leion, and he took a deep breath.

"Sir... I think it already started; I heard some kind of sound."

Spoke up the soldier after about a minute of silence. Moments later, a loud crashing sound echoed throughout the whole dungeon, which was then followed by a loud cracking sound. Leion and the guard quickly looked at the door and then at each other as there was a short pause, but soon a loud scream echoed again.

"Poor guy... I think even if he survives, he will suffer from mental trauma after he recovers... Such a loud scream!" Commented the guard and grabbed Leion, who wanted to rush in.

"This is madness... We want to collect information, not torture him for no reason; we don't even know who he is!" Shouted Leion

"I can't do that, sir!"

Insisted the guard and pushed Leion back; however, both of them were shocked as the crystal in their hands started flickering.

"What the..."

Spoke up Leion as a loud explosion shook the dungeon, and moments later, the crystals shattered. And at that time, the thick, dented metal door blasted open and a person flung through it.

"What was that?!!"

Thought Leion and quickly cast a spell allowing him to see in the dark. Throughout the now open door, green mist-like energy was flowing into the room rapidly. leion could see that the man who blasted the door open was the previously confident man, but he was now on the ground with his right arm shattered. From the inner room, a human-like figure made of green energy walked in, holding the two unconscious guards. Once the figure was in, the figure dropped them down and then vanished.

"The prisoner is escaping!" Shouted the guard and was about to jump up, but Leion grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back.

"Stand down... He is not escaping... You stay here and don't let anyone follow me; should you fail to do this very simple task, I will get very mad!" Said Leion and walked in towards the inner cells.

"I can't even see anything... I guess I will just sit down and try to stay as calm as I can." Mumbled the guard.

"This doesn't make any sense... Why did he not try to escape? Could it be that he is planning something... No, for someone who is planning something, he acted way too cocky yet calm. If he was plotting, he could have easily killed Teach, yet he only knocked him out... No guards were killed in the dungeon, only scared...So far!"

Thought Leion, and moments later, he finally arrived in front of the cell where the only prisoner was kept. He looked inside the cell, but much to his surprise, despite the fact that he was using his spell to see in the dark, the cell was dark.

"Now that the muscle-brain was taken out, you came back for a chat or what?" Asked the prisoner with a cold tone and slight annoyance.

"I think I know you; please, tell me w..." Said Leion, but the man interrupted him.

"I don't think I quite trust you enough to tell you anything; after all, I am being kept as a prisoner; and I was about to get tortured. And since your men were harmed, I presume you do want to have some kind of revenge. So no, not until you prove to me why I should trust you, I will tell you nothing!" Declared the man

"That I can understand perfectly... But then tell me this. Are you the one who cured my illness?! Are you the white-haired guy who went toe to toe against an empowered Black and managed to almost kill him?" Questioned the prisoner Leion, and he stepped into the cell. He raised his hands to his ears.

"Hm... Why should I answer your question? Does it really matter whether it is me or not? Let me tell you one thing. The reason I am staying here is not because of you or your guards." Replied the man, but this time he said it with a perfectly calm tone.

"That I do know. I knew you were a great fighter, but I would never have thought you'd be a powerful illusionist! I know that you are severely injured; I have seen how you were beaten by Black, so just drop the act! I just want to speak to you as one person to another... I am a hero chosen by my people; my duty is to protect them; thus, I am very grateful for your hard work and cooperation against Black and that monarch!"

Said Leion and stepped closer, but the man only sighed, and moments later, everything around Leion cracked, and he started falling into darkness. As he looked down, he could see a greenish light, and upon looking at it, he found himself on the ground. It seemed as if he went back in time to when he was about to enter the inner prisons, but now everyone except was unconscious, and the light crystals were not broken.

"Dreadful... Such prominent illusion, I thought the illusion was only the cell; not everything I had experienced after Teach was knocked out..." Mumbled Leion as he slowly stood up.
