Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path
98 Chapter 97

The noises coming from those the houses eventually stopped after two hours. Although Leon tried to concentrate on his task of watching the dungeon, he felt quite bothered by it, since he had a problem with his libido. Meanwhile, Gisela gathered the skeletons' dust and played with Water Manipulation as much as possible. She suffered so much that something like that was considered normal by her...

"Master, you got promoted, right?" Gisela suddenly asked. "Why didn't you accept other maids?"

"I don't really want to hear anyone calling me master," Leon answered. "I also don't need maids; I can do pretty much everything by myself."

"But isn't it boring?" Gisela asked.

"What is boring?" Leon frowned.

"To relieve your sexual tension with your hands?" Gisela asked.

"The hell are you talking about..."Leon said.

"Maids are trained to help their masters in that regard," Gisela said.

"Are you still considering doing that for anyone?" Leon asked. "What would your parents think if they hear this?"

"They would be very disappointed..." Gisela lowered her head. "But if it is with you master, I think it is okay..."

"AH! Don't say that! Don't say that... my scumbag instincts are returning to surface!" Leon covered his ears. "Ah... they are not coming. The holy sword is not standing yet. Anyway, don't think about that again, all right? Just focus on obtaining the power to go to your home."

"... Is it because I'm deformed, master?" Gisela hesitated.

"Ugh... my head hurts." Leon sighed. "You are going to make me say this, aren't you... to think I would embarrass myself to this extent... When I was on that island, I worked single-mindedly to reach my goal, and I used all my energy to reach my goal. That means I didn't do anything to relieve my sexual tension... why I'm saying this in such a roundabout way? Anyway... after four years without unsheathing the holy sword, the blade lost its sharpness. It will take a while before the holy sword can be used again... I'm getting depressed while saying this... Believe me, you are still pretty, but you are my friend, and I cannot see you in that kind of light."

"Thank you, master." Gisela showed a pure smile. "It warms my heart to hear that master consider me a friend... still, as a friend, I can do something to help you to solve that problem."

"... What can you do?" Leon hesitated.

"I heard that a lot of men could get erections when their butthole are stimulated, so..." Gisela said.

"There is no way in hell you will touch that!" Leon declared. "Since playing with water isn't enough for you anymore, you will train to learn your first spell."

"Yes, Master!" Gisela said.

The dungeon wasn't that close to the houses, so Leon was sure that no one would be able to see Gisela's training. After several hours, he taught her how to make a water bullet. Gisela mastered the shape of the projectile quite fast, but she would need to train how to strengthen and how to create water first. Instead of learning how to do that with four elements, it would be more convenient if Gisela focuses on one.

When morning came, Gisela returned to the house when Tom and the other two appeared. Aside from Tom, those two looked exhausted; the reason was so obvious that Leon couldn't help but sigh. His teammates were the type of people who didn't get serious while working. Leon hoped to see Tom scolding them, but nothing happened.

"Leonard, don't you have any equipment?" Tom asked. "I know that magic staffs are rare, but a mage like should have found one at some point in New York."

"Yeah, I found a few, but I don't like to rely on equipment too much," Leon said. "I will become more eager to train if I notice the growth of my skills without relying on external help."

"Is that so?" Tom frowned. "Well, you managed to defeat dozen of skeletons the whole night without asking for help, so I think that is fine."

By the look of things, it didn't look like Leon had been observed while he watched the dungeon. However, that could be an act so that Leon couldn't drop his guard.

"That being said, the monsters inside the dungeon are more difficult," Tom said. "So, I think you should buy a magic staff the next time you return to New York."

"Yes, sir." Leon nodded. "But how can they be more difficult?"

"No need to be so respectful," Tom chuckled. "You already know that the more time they spent in our world, the stronger they get, right? The more time they spent on earth, the more they absorb mana to create their weapons and gear. If we let them run wild, in one day, an ordinary skeleton can become a skeleton knight. After ten days, the beast can become a skeleton rider, and after one month, those monsters become death knights."

"I see... so they can create their own gear," Leon said.

"That is right," Tom nodded. "Of course, skeletons can become skeleton archers and wizards as well. However, inside the dungeon, there are only skeletons knights, archers, and wizards. So, to avoid problems down the road, we have to kill them before they can get too powerful."

Leon nodded, the skeletons were troublesome enemies because they had a lot of potential. Leon never fought a death knight, but he couldn't imagine it being stronger than a three-headed earth dragon. Rather than that, Leon was more interested in their ability to absorb mana from the surroundings. Maybe those creatures would be the key that would lead Leon to discover how to absorb mana from objects and eventually from his surroundings.
