Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path
166 Chapter 165

Although Leon wanted to take it easy for a while, he learned the hard way that taking easy while the world was full of monsters, and humans were fighting against each wasn't a good idea. He woke up early the next day to teach the survivors of Las Vegas, Amanda already had too many things to do, and she was a mother so Leon couldn't burden her so much.

After watching the survivors for a while, he noticed that they progressed a lot in the last few weeks. Some of them already knew basic spells and create steel plates. Leon felt like selecting those who learned how to use magic faster and teach them how to heal wounds, but he gave up on the idea. It was better to teach everyone equally.

Soon after teaching the first five hundred survivors, Leon contacted Sarah and gave his report of his last weeks' activities.

"…You never stop to catch a breath, do you?"

"I wish I could, but I can't ignore a friend asking for help," Leon said. "Anyway, most members of the European Council looked pretty friendly and liked the idea of working together while being mutually respectful toward each other, but you never know what someone may be thinking."

"I understand, I will make spies keep an eye on things in Europe for the time being."

"Now that we are working together, it will be more efficient if we can contact whenever possible," Leon said.

"Yes, don't worry about it. We already had the means to contact them. We just didn't because we knew it was possible to reach an agreement before. I will also make sure to share our technology with Japan; we have a few survivors making a few modifications in cell phones. Soon, we will send a larger number to them."

"That's good to hear," Leon said.

"It looks like you didn't make any progress in the magic items creation, but the Heal skill will help a lot. Do you plan to teach that to the people here?"

"I intend to send the first people who learned this skill here to you to help you guys learn," Leon explained. "By the way, I guess we also need to send some guys to teach basic magic to the survivors in New York, right?"

"That's not necessary. Amanda already told you the first steps of how to manipulate, transform, and create the elements. We are passing the knowledge to all survivors who are interested, but I guess it would help if you or your sister come to teach them. I'm struggling to make earth become steel, by the way."

"Well, if you already know, you just need to practice," Leon said. "Unfortunately, I'm going to pass on that offer. I need to replace a way to regenerated my lost limbs."

"It can't be helped… that being said, that kind of knowledge will also help us."

Although Leon did want to learn that skill as soon as possible, he also wanted to stay with his family and friends as much as possible. It was impossible to say for sure when a problem would arise, and he would have to leave Las Vegas for a while. Therefore, he wanted to enjoy those moments as much as possible.

Anyway, Leon didn't reveal about Mana Armor, Mana shield, and Mana Dominion. Mostly because he wanted to surprise his possible enemies and because those skills would only be useful in the hands of people like Yuki and Lennart. Although everyone could recover mana pretty fast, if melee fighters try to keep Mana Armor activated, they wouldn't fight for long if they receive too much damage. Leon wasn't the best person to think about this, but it wasn't a good idea to rely too much on those kinds of skills. Humans needed to feel the pain in order to also feel the need to improve their fighting style. If one relies too much on Mana Armor, one would eventually stop dodging attacks...

While Leon was thinking about those things, Gisela and Lennart approached. Aside from them, Sasha and Maya were also at home since Sasha was the one who looked after Maya when Leon was busy, and Amanda and Hector were away.

"I'm sorry, for yesterday," Lennart bowed his head. "It looks like you just treated my sister like a friend and did nothing to her."

"Don't worry, kid," Leon said. "I can relate to your situation. Even to this point, I can't accept that my sister married an asshole like Hector. So, I understand your feelings."

"Right… you didn't forget my name, did you?" Lennart asked.

"No," Leon said.

"So, can you please stop calling me 'kid'?" Lennart asked.

"No can do." Leon smiled. "That is something I always wanted to do before, but I never had the chance. Anyway, what are you guys going to do now?"

"I want to repay master for your kindness…" Gisela said. "However, I cannot help much in my current state. So, I wanted to train until I obtain the strength I want. However, I also want to meet with my parents."

"Well, there's no need to hurry," Leon said. "Besides, it looks like you progressed a lot while I was away. In any case, you don't have to train only here. Shall I ask Sarah for a chopper to take you two to Germany?"

"That will help a lot, master." Gisela smiled. "However, I intend to return as soon as possible. I have the feeling that master will always be on the front lines when the problems arise so, I want to be nearby when the time comes to offer my support."

"I see… what about you?" Leon asked.

"I will use this chance to observe how things will play out in the European Council," Lennart said. "If things go well, I will return with my sister; if not, then I will stay there."
