Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path
360 Chapter 359

One month later, Leon finally managed to drain all the mana of the magic circle. Then, he started to wonder about what he should do to the tower of the harvesters. It had probably been made on that planet… it belonged to that place, and it would be a good sign that a sentient race lived there once since everything else had been destroyed.

"The dead won't need this… maybe the researchers of Miebos will be able to study it. It will serve as a good gift for them, and I'm pretty sure they will give me access to their database of magical knowledge if I give it to them."

Leon didn't know how, but some researchers that were once the harvesters' companions managed to use space magic to increased and decrease the size of many things. Leon always wondered how they did that, but he would never know… since they died more than twenty years ago, and the harvesters themselves had no idea how even their weapons worked.

Regardless, after miniaturizing the tower, Leon adjusted his telescope and then used Transfer once he could see Miebos.

To save some time, Leon used Transfer and reappeared five seconds later, right in front of the research center. The hole his created had been repaired a long time ago, and he also could see some of the warriors that lived under the city walking around… but they stopped, everyone stopped when Leon suddenly appeared.

"I must look for someone in the research center that can contact Donan… things look to be quite normal around here, so I should go down to business without wasting time."

Although Leon could create things like knives to cut his hair and beard, it couldn't be helped that he still had a somewhat messy appearance. He wasn't that skilled, after all. So, he was quick to draw the attention of others… or perhaps he was attracting many stares because he was holding Soul Eater and a ten meters long telescope. It was hard to tell…

Leon headed to the entrance of the research center and was welcomed by the security of the place. They looked pretty wary of him, but at least they didn't attack.

"Hello, I want to talk with Donan," Leon said. "Can any of you call him?"

The guards ignored Leon's words and kept staring at him, it looked like they were waiting for something, and they were also looking at him as if he was a weird creature. It couldn't be helped since he didn't have bulging muscles or a mana crystal on his forehead, but that was still annoying.

"Do I have to make a scene again? Why didn't I ask where Donan works before?"

While Leon was thinking, a hulk-like man left the building and looked at the commotion. It was Anton, Leon almost recognized him immediately, but Anton was still looking at him and frowning at the same time.

"You look familiar…" Anton said.

"It is me, Leon…" Leon said, "I didn't think you were the type of man who had a bad memory."

"Leon… Leon… Ah! The traveler that appeared years ago," Anton said. "It is okay, guys; you can relax. I know this man, and he isn't dangerous… right?"

"Why are you asking me that?" Leon frowned. "Did I cause problems before without reason?"

"Well… a long time has passed…" Anton said. "People can change…"

"I don't think can change so much in a year or two," Leon said.

"Yeah, that is right…" Anton hesitated.

Something was off, Eadmund was older than Leon, but he recalled that he was a pretty chill guy to talk with. Judging by his clothes, it looked like now that he was working as a member of the security of the research center. Still, it was hard to imagine such a job could change him so much after just two years.

"Am I missing something?" Leon asked. "Did something happen?"

"You left with the harvesters, right?" Anton asked. "Are they back, too?"

"Are you seriously going to answer my question with another question?" Leon furrowed his eyebrows. "They are dead… they won't come to this world anymore, and you can rest assured. Now, answer my question."

"That is good to hear…" Anton said. "Still, nothing happened after you left. So, I don't think there is anything worth saying."

Everything was a bit weird, but considering that Leon left by making some threats, it couldn't be helped that even Anton was looking at Leon with caution. He left to work with the harvesters, and now Leon returns without them telling why that they are dead… anyone sane would be suspicious.

"… Whatever, I want to talk with Donan," Leon said. "Where is he?"

"… Mr. Donan died, Ms.Darya is our leader now," Anton answered. "You can replace her on the government tower North of here."

Leon couldn't help but frown, Anton looked quite sad after mentioning Donan's death, as if that wasn't weird enough he said that Darya took his place. If those two things were worth mentioning to him, then something was wrong with Anton's head… that or he wanted to get his ass kicked.

Still, it was hard to imagine Donan dead. He was a tough bastard, the only person in that world who could defeat a harvester… how did he die considering that the harvesters left Miebos two years ago? Besides, it was bizarre that Darya took his place. The people of that world only learned about her after Donan erased her memories? If that information was confidential, how Anton found that information?

"I see…" Leon said. "When did he die?"

"Ten years ago," Anton answered.
