Remnants anomaly

After devouring the lifeforce of thirty four different trees leon decided he had enough stored away to regrow his legs at the very least. "oi genesis , get over here and help me out for a minute!" he called out getting the nearby genesis's attention. the dragon sauntered over lazily while making sure leon saw him yawn. leon's eyebrow twitched in irritation but he didn't say anything about his familiars attitude since he still needed it's help to regrow his limbs. "ok , so i need you to cut off the ends of the nubs on my right arm and leg." leon explained seriously.

Genesis gave leon a "are you serious?" look that made leon sigh in exasperation. "yes i realize how that sounds but until the "healed" parts of my limbs are gone i can't regrow them." he explained and genesis just nodded in understanding. much to the horror of those watching genesis raised his right claw and precisely slashed down at leons right nub cleaving it off at the shoulder. leon didn't even flinch from the pain but focused on regrowing the limb a new. first the bones grew out followed by the veins and muscles and finally the skin and nerves.

It was like watching a dissection in reverse almost which didn't sit well with those not used to graphic sights. besides the creepy scene the members of the two teams were surprised to see that leon had a brand new arm that besides being pale , looked completely normal. "hearing about it is one thing but seeing it is a whole different thing , that's some creepy stuff right there." qrow sid honestly and everyone else couldn't help but nod in agreement. leon flexed his new arm in order to get a feel for it since regrowing limbs always left a funky sensation behind.

"good , ok now do my right leg." leon said and genesis wasted no time at all cleaving the nub away. much like the arm the leg regrew in the same way but this time leon use his new arm to hold the growing limb off the ground to keep dirt and rocks from being grown over by flesh. leons store of lifeforce was depleted the moment the limb was finished and he used genesis as a crutch to stand on the fresh limb. he was incredibly lopsided with only a single arm and leg but at least he could move around without using susanoo and damaging his eyes.

"With this i can finally start truly recovering." leon said softly before crouching down with his new leg and shooting into the distance thanks to his level four strength. those watching were left speechless at leons actions as well as his strength despite his incomplete state. "and he LOST against that grim!?" weiss exclaimed in horror. "there's a reason you don't hear stories about people beating ancient grim like that one." qrow said seriously. "uncle qrow , you're pretty strong right?" ruby asked curiously.

"I'm pretty up there yeah , why?" qrow said confused what that had to do with the conversation. "if you and leon were to fight who would win?" ruby asked after hearing his answer. qrow chuckled finally understanding what she was trying to figure out. "it would even be a fight , leon would win instantly so long as he didn't decide to play around with me." qrow admitted honestly. "i don't know exactly how strong leon is but I'd wager you could count the number of people who could clash with him on one hand." he said seriously.

Meanwhile leon himself was rocketing through the forest in search of any stray grim that tye or qrow had missed. the reason for this was because while he could just drain lifeforce from trees it suffered a huge inefficiency problem were he only got about twenty percent of the lifeforce this way. killing something gave the entire pool from within whatever it was and due to how abundant and hated grim were they made the perfect targets. in order to not fight barehanded since his weapon had been flung away with the tail sweep the wyvern hit him with making it lost to him for now leon had created a sharp earth spear with magic to use.
