Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path
171 Chapter 170

Leon started to think about what Amanda said; in the end, she only wanted to see him happy like she was. However, for several reasons that Leon couldn't tell his little sister, that was the last thing in his mind.

"Sorry, little sister." Leon smiled. "But even though you are saying that for my own good, you don't have to worry about that. Back in the day, I fooled around plenty. So, now I have to do my best in order not to regret later."

"Hah… all right." Amanda sighed. "Just try not to overwork yourself to death. You can't try to carry the world over your shoulders, brother."

Leon smiled as he watched his sister leaving. In the end, Leon couldn't bring himself to enter a relationship with one of those four. They were just friends, nothing more. Perhaps if the holy sword weren't sealed, his thoughts would be different, but as of the moment, he wanted to work hard to avoid other failures.

"Despite surviving those four years on that island, I'm still weak-minded. If something were to happen with my friends, I would go mad and do something stupid like I did in Moscow. Challenging thousands of survivors directly and even going to the point of showing myself to the enemy when I could have destroyed him without even stepping on that city…"

Now that Leon could count on the survivors of Europe, Japan, and eventually the Caribbean Fighters, there was no need for him to do something so crazy like before. But considering the last years, Leon knew that the future was uncertain, and it was better to be safe than sorry. He only thing he could do to avoid worrying about the future endlessly was to train his magic like a madman.

After two weeks of harsh training, Leon finally completed the second stage of his plan to regenerate his limbs and Gisela's eyes. As he had expected, just healing several wounds wasn't enough; he had to heal wounds all over his body to learn that skill.

Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Regeneration.

Cost: 1 mana per second

Restores: 1 health per second

You obtained 01 status points.

Much to Leon's surprise, the skill he learned was an active skill and consumed his mana while the skill of the gloves was a passive one and didn't consume his mana. The logic behind was hard to understand, but now Leon didn't need the gloves all that much, and he gave them to Amanda in order to increase her chances of survival in case something happens. There was no point in taking the shield of dawn from Hector, so Leon didn't ask for it. Although he only left on his back, Hector said that protected him many times from stray shots.

"Well, I guess now I need to train Regeneration a little bit… Unfortunately, I didn't obtain any clue as to how to regenerate my limbs while I practiced it…"

In the end, Leon had to learn things the hard way... by trial and error. Just when Leon was thinking about ways to regenerate his limbs, he received a call from Sarah.

"Leon, sorry to bother you. Can you talk now?"

"Yes, what is it?" Leon asked.

"First, I would like to report that the weapons you created to help the Caribbean Fighters helped them to decrease the casualties. They became our allies, and now we are trading resources from each other."

"That's good to hear… what else?" Leon asked again.

"We have a problem. Tom and I were negotiating with the leaders of the Atlantic Free Nation to become our allies, as well. Things were going well since they didn't have any interest in competing with other nations and only wanted to increase the chances of survival of their people. However, it looks like someone cause Dungeon Breaks in most dungeons of South America. Now, dozen of millions of monsters are marching toward the Brazilian coast, where most of their survivors are located."

"Did someone see who or what caused the dungeon breaks?" Leon asked.

"No, until now, no one caused dungeons breaks in South America. So, they were caught off-guard since they only watch the dungeons near the coast. Anyway, they are asking for help since they don't have nearly enough soldiers to fight against such horde of monsters. The European Council is already busy trying to protect the Russian border. Japan is short-handed since they lost a lot of soldiers because they worked for Seiji. As for the Caribbean Fighters, they are still busy fighting the megalodons."

"So, I'm the only option left…" Leon said.

"I'm sorry if you could lend that scythe that can summon skeletons; it would help a lot, but considering that the power of the skeletons is related to your intelligence, you are the best option."

"Yeah… there is no other choice then." Leon sighed. "Tell the survivors to buy as many mana potions as they can, even if my undead army can help them; there is a limit of how many I can create on my own."

"Got it! I will send the message right now!"

The call ended, and Leon sighed. By the look of things, Sarah imagined that Leon would refuse the job. He was helping and making all the nations become allies in order to decrease the burden on himself, so Sarah imagined that. Anyway, even though it was annoying since Leon just finished the second step of his plan, there was no other choice.

"I guess after learning how to regenerate my limbs; I will try to learn how to create shadow clones… it is the only way for me to replace peace in this world."
