Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path
399 Chapter 398

Leon already could imagine what happened that destroyed the alliance, some countries wanted to crush every single of those terrorists' camps and others didn't because there were prisoners there. Innocent people would die if they attack, but since innocent people were already dying because of those human explosions, Yuki and many others decided to act.

"So, my other friends didn't accept your decision," Leon said.

p "Gisela, Lennart, and Tom did," Yuki said. "Gisela and Lennart lost their father in one of those explosions. As for Tom, he lost many of the orphans he and his wife were looking after. The others didn't. For a while, we worked together and decimated the terrorists. That cost the alliance, though. Sarah, Hector, and Amanda wanted to reach a middle ground, but we couldn't replace one since we lost many people. So, after we destroyed those camps, we didn't negotiate or worked together in any other aspect."

Leon couldn't help but wonder what he would do if he were on both sides... he wasn't a patient one, so he wanted to kill the lizard and the shadowy figure. However, Leon didn't want to sacrifice innocent lives to reach his goals... so he couldn't see himself choosing one or the other option.

"You said that you worked for a while, but how long exactly?" Leon asked.

"I believe Tom, Gisela, and Lennart worked with us for two hundred years," Ryoko said after she analyzed some documents. "They decided to stop working with Japan a few years after the start of the third war against the monsters."

"Why?" Leon asked.

"Some insurgents started to cause problems again, and since we never confirmed the death of the terrorist's leaders, we decided to register every single person's name, status, and skills to avoid criminals from entering our territories," Yuki explained. "From that moment, onward, Tom, Gisela, and Lennart choose their own paths. They didn't want to put so many restrictions on their people, and they also thought that it was like they weren't trusting on their allies. It was for the greater good, but they didn't accept it. Even though I was the first one to register my skills and status, anyone can access those on our database. Because of that, we can quickly replace anyone who is suspicious since the population can inform the authorities if they replace anything suspicious. The database is updated using magic, so it is a very efficient way to replace criminals before they do anything."

"You talk as if you are very proud of such spell," Leon said. "But you attacked me on sight, and that only means that many assassins use that information to attack you frequently. Don't they use that kind of information to assassinate other humans?"

"That is not a problem," Yuki showed a confident smile. "We also have a database where the population can replace information about how to learn several spells. Today 99.9 percent of the people living in Japan can use Mana Armor, so any assassination attempts won't work that easily. If someone tries, it will be noticed by every single person nearby."

That was kind of amazing, but Leon was wondering why Yuki looked so proud when he was the one who taught her that spell. Regardless, there was no point in arguing since that was a system that had been implemented a long time ago, and it seemed to be working.

"What happened afterward that made you wage war against the other countries?" Leon asked.

"Three hundred years ago, those explosion incidents started to happen again," Yuki answered. "Our country was developing well, so we were the focus this time. We knew that no one inside this wall had the skills to do it, so we demanded the other nations look for the culprits and execute them. The other nations took their sweet time giving the answers we wanted, so we started to look for the criminals ourselves. They tried to intervene, saying that we were too rough, and the war started like that."

"... So, you banished people all over the world from their countries?" Leon asked after a long sigh. "I'm kind of surprised that you succeeded, but I'm also disappointed because you had no right to do that. The terrorists survived because you let your feelings get on the way and didn't plan everything carefully. So... everything outside Japan belongs to monsters now."

"How dare you..." Ren said after he stomped on the ground. "Because of Her Majesty's actions, we solved that problem, and no one is dying from acts of terrorism. Those who agreed with our methods now live in peace inside these walls. There are even more survivors in Australia. Although we still didn't recover our world from the clutches of monsters, the number of losses we suffered in the last three hundred years is minimal."

"Tell me, do you really believe that you and other nations alone can protect Earth?" Leon asked. "Didn't you guys notice that I arrived here without letting any of you notice me? You guys must be daydreaming if you think I'm the only one who can this and if the real enemies are those brain-dead monsters."

Although Ren wanted to retort Leon very much, he couldn't because he was aware that Leon had a point. Until now, the real enemy didn't appear, but everyone knew that sooner or later, something far more dangerous would come... in fact, Leon could be considered that something. He defeated one hell of a massive snake, and Ren and Yuki were aware that they couldn't defeat something of that size.

"I'm disappointed in both of you..." Leon sighed. "But I guess that doesn't mean a thing when neither of you remembers me. I understand your reasoning, I'm a bit unreasonable, but I expected more of you both. Anyway... I will look for my family and other friends. If they survived for six hundred years here, I'm sure that they are still alive, and then I will bring them back to Earth because this is our home. I just hope you both don't get on the way of it... because I won't be so lenient like I'm now."
