Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path
200 Chapter 199

Three figures were chasing Leon and rapidly approaching, he had to get rid of them without killing, or in the future, he would have an even harder time. Leon used Ice Bullets to buy some time, but those three easily dodged dozens of bullets Leon used. Their flying speed wasn't just high; they were also quite skillful.

However, that didn't bother Leon. He bought enough time to create three steel staffs, being hit by those would hurt, but it was his only option. Leon fired the staves, but much to his surprise, his weapons slowed down at some point. He even started to feel that he was losing control over them.

"Telekinesis?! That lizard wasn't joking when he said that I would have a hard time here."

It looked like three figures chasing Leon could use Telekinesis, even though that was very surprising, he didn't let that waver his concentration. Using the ring of telekinesis, Leon strengthened his control over his staff. That surprised those three; even though they reacted on time to avoid a direct hit to their heads, the arms and shoulders got hit… after the Mana Armor covering their bodies decreased the power of the attack.

"Oh boy… even Mana Armor."

Those three slowed down, and it looked like they didn't have all that much health. Still, Leon could see several other figures coming all over the city toward his direction. That wasn't good, Leon hurriedly looked to all directions, but saw nothing but those colossal skyscrapers. Even though he flew over several kilometers at his top speed, he couldn't see the end of the city.

"Tch… not good… huh?"

Leon frowned when he saw a big cloud in front of him, he wasn't flying that high in the sky… then again, he was in another world, so perhaps that place clouds could appear in low altitudes. However, Leon had to confirm if that was indeed the case, and since he was in a bad spot, perhaps that was the exit he was looking for. Leon approached the ground again while he created a passive steel pillar; he built it rather fast since he didn't have to worry about the shape. He just focused all his mana and then transformed it into steel, a thirty meters long, and two meters wide steel pillar appeared, and Leon fired toward the ground in the middle of an alley. A big impact could be heard miles away, for a second, Leon thought he had dropped a gigantic bomb in the city since a massive wave of dust appeared and covered the whole region. The nearby buildings trembled and even cracked, but Leon paid no mind to it. Ignoring the dust, Leon approached the place his steel pillar hit, and there he saw a hole with no end in sight. In fact, Leon still could sense his pillar falling.

"I knew it… this city hadn't been built over the ground of this world. The city has been created way over the sea level… if this planet has sea, that is."

The hole was quite dark, but it was perfect for Leon to use and escape. He had no idea why the people didn't build the city above the ground, but he was pretty sure they wouldn't follow him so easily. Without hesitation, Leon jumped into the hole.

The tunnel Leon created was one hundred meters deep, thanks to it, he was kind of surprised that his attack could pierce such a thick layer of ground. Then again… maybe the density of the ground in that world wasn't like Earth's.

"What a pain… comparing everything to Earth is making my head hurts."

It didn't take long for Leon to understand why the city was built almost in the skies. When he left the hole, he saw thousands of metallic pillars supporting that massive gray city above him. The place above looked quite organized and tidy, but the place below looked like a world destroyed by war. Leon stopped his free fall because he could see a thick purple mist below him. If that wasn't poisonous, Leon didn't know what was. In some places, the fog wasn't that thick, and despite the lack of sunlight, Leon saw the remainings of a destroyed city. It made him recall of Phoenix after the hydrogen bomb.

"I guess this place also got destroyed by monsters… but the situation here got far worse. I guess the people of this world used some crazy chemical weapons to fend off the monsters."

Now that Leon though about it, he didn't see anything but grey in that city because he didn't see any vegetation. Well, it was kind of obvious since the city had been built like that to make the inhabitants stay away from the poisoned parts of their world. It may rain on that city, but the ground certainly wouldn't absorb water or sunlight, and thus plants wouldn't grow.

"What crazy world did that lizard summoned me… my rings are here with me, my magic box too… I guess he didn't invade Amanda's house; he just used some spell to summon me."

The dragonnewt was very lazy in his work. He didn't know that Leon also had the items he lent to Willian. Perhaps he didn't even know that Leon could create magic items and had several of them… Well, there was also the chance that he knew, but he didn't care. Either way, it didn't matter; it was a blessing in disguise.

"I can only hope that I did enough in the last few days and that Amanda and the others will manage to survive without me. Well, they survived the four years I was on the island… so I bet they can survive other four without me, I just hope not to stay here for so long."
