Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path
105 Chapter 104

Ignoring the jealous stares, Leon walked toward the exit of the dungeon while keeping his guard up in case someone tries to kill him to get the scythe. Even though it looked like a melee weapon, it was a magic staff that only granted him three skills. It increased the number of things he could do but didn't make him stronger. However, Leon had no thoughts in selling that whatsoever.

Despite Leon's not showing any kind of malice, he still looked quite ominous carrying such a weapon on his back. The scythe/magic staff's color was silver, so it really looked like he had killed Death. He recalled a game in the past which he played and obtained such weapon...

"Let's just hope this will help me instead of putting me in trouble..."

"Master?" Gisela frowned when she saw Leon's new toy.

Usually, Gisela would be spending her days training, but since that day, Leon was going to face the boss, she decided to wait for him outside. Aside from his new weapon, everyone was pretty much unscathed. Despite the surprises in the middle of the battle, no one aside from Tom and Leon felt like celebrating, since they didn't do all that much and lost the chance to obtain one hell of a weapon.

"It is time to say goodbye to this place; let's start packing our things," Leon said, and Gisela hurried to the house. "What do we have to do now, captain?"

"You guys can go to New York and report the mission; I will watch the dungeon until the next team arrives," Tom answered.

"Are you sure?" Leon asked.

"Yeah, don't worry about it." Tom smiled and offered a handshake to Leon. "I'm the captain, so my pay is higher than yours to do that kind of thing when it is necessary. I hope to work with you eventually, Leonard."

"Me too." Leon accepted the handshake.

Once every three days, a truck coming from New York would come to transport the dust that once was the skeletons, and that day was one of those days. So, Leon and his teammates would use that vehicle to go back to New York. Aside from clothes and cooking utensils, Leon and Gisela didn't have much, so they finished rather quickly and waited until noon, which was the usual time for the truck to arrive, without doing anything.

At the end of the day, they were finally back to New York, even though Leon and Gisella returned a few times to buy food and to let Gisela train her martial skills, the feeling of returning knowing that they wouldn't go back to that dungeon was reassuring. That being said, Leon was aware of the fact that things would only be more difficult from that point onward.

Leon went to the main building with his teammates while Gisela and the other maids and butlers returned to the apartments. Although they only caused problems for Leon in the beginning, he was thankful for the fact that they wouldn't work together for the time being. Putting their sexual preferences aside, the fact that they were noisy in bed was annoying.

Sarah opened her eyes widely when she saw Leon and his teammates; it was too surprising that with his help, Tom's team managed to clear a dungeon in one month when they didn't clear in seven. Anyway, she soon recovered herself and guided them to the meeting room.

"Director William, Director Sanchez, Director Alisson," Sarah knocked on the door. "The team who was working clearing the skeleton's dungeon has returned."

"... Come in." William said after a brief pause.

Aside from William, the other directors frowned when they saw everyone, but Tom coming to give their reports. Since they participated in the mission to kill the skeletons who left the dungeon, they knew how troublesome those creatures were, and they killed the boss who was supposed to be far stronger than the skeletons.

Since everyone gave their report vocally, and at the same time, there was no room for lies. Although Leon didn't want to reveal what his scythe could do, he did it because he certainly wasn't the only person in the world who could analyze items. Since no one had ever heard of someone obtaining the skill to summon skeletons, even William was quite surprised.

"I see, the boss was a formidable opponent, Sarah, send another team to the dungeon," William said. "Tom and his teammates deserve to rest for a while."

"Yes, sir." Sarah immediately left.

"Well, you guys must be tired from your work," William said. "You can go to your homes and rest, in the next few days you will receive your rewards."

Everyone nodded and left that surprised Leon; he thought he would immediately receive his next mission, and Leon even prepared himself to hand over his scythe. Those three were shad,y but not so stupid to be so unreasonable in front of their subordinates.

"Well... now what?"

Two months working in that organization wasn't supposed to be nearly enough to gain the trust of the three directors. Still, considering his accomplishments and the information on how to kill the grim reaper, Leon was hoping to be called to participate in the secret actions planned by William.

"They will eventually call me... so, until then, I just have to be patient and play it safe."

When Leon opened his apartment room, he was welcomed by an ice bullet. Fortunately, it just scratched his shoulders. Although the bullet cracked the wall behind him and cut damaged his clothes, it didn't even cause a scratch.

When Gisela noticed what she had done, she fell or knees and begged for forgiveness. It looked like she just learned the spell and wanted to test it. Leon forgave her, but it took a few hours to convince her to get up.

"My mentality is stronger than her intelligence, that is why it didn't damage me... but still, to learn it so fast... I'm a slow learner but a good teacher?"
