Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

Ren and Leon talked for a while, about most things that happened but in detail. Ren nodded when he heard that all people involved directly and indirectly on the kidnapping died, but couldn't help but frown when he heard Leon brought back their railgun.

"I heard that they killed a dragon a few years ago with that weapon... Although they had to hit the head to do it." Ren said. "You really are something else if you made them give that to you without even asking.

"Really? They didn't tell me that..." Leon said. "They probably assumed I heard about it."

"You didn't hear about it?" Lennart frowned.

"No... I didn't tell you, but I spent four years stuck in an island." Leon said. "I only left after training my magic for four years."

"... No wonder you are so powerful." Lennart said after he recovered from the surprise.

"Anyway, talking about dragons… are you guys investigating why they aren't showing themselves anymore?" Leon asked.

"Yes, we have been investigating that for the past months," Ren answered. "But we have no idea why they aren't attacking anymore or where they went."

"Do you know anything about this, Lennart?" Leon asked.

"I was just a regular soldier, so I don't have the details," Lennart said. "However, Alexei was also investigating the subject, but found nothing about them either."

"I don't like this…" Leon said.

It was good that they weren't attacking, but not knowing why it was equally dangerous. However, now that Allied Forces of North-America, Japan and all the countries of Europe would work together, he was sure that they would soon find an answer.

"Yeah… Anyway, what are your plans now?" Ren asked.

"Well, first, I intend to restore my limbs, and then I will see what I can do to convince Indians and Chinese to work with us," Leon said. "But if something happens before I recover them, I guess I will have to fight like this; I don't plan to see our allies dying for no reason."

"Don���t work too hard…" Ren frowned. "On our end, I think we can convince the Australians to join us; rather, since they are an independent nation like us, they don't have any reason to refuse since our goal is just to work together to protect the world."

"That's good to hear," Leon nodded. "Now, we just have to convince the Caribean Fighters, Atlantic Free Nation, Africa, Indians, and Chineses… we still have a long way to go."

"Don't worry; you don't have to do everything alone, not anymore." Ren tapped Leon's shoulders.

The next day, after breakfast, Leon, Lennart, Ren, and Yuki walked toward the port where they would part ways. Usually, that kind of thing was only done at night, but since all the traitors were disposed of and now the Russians were allies, Yuki didn't feel the need to be so discreet, at least for one time.

Leon could always cross the ocean using earth platform, but he still wasn't faster than a megalodon swimming. Besides, he would be in trouble if suddenly the dragons return.

"Come to think of it; I have to return the magic box," Leon said.historical

"Keep it, even though it's a memento from my brother, in your hands will be put to good use," Yuki said. "Make sure to use it in a way that will make my father feel proud."

"Got it." Leon nodded. "If something happens, you can contact me, Sarah or Tom. They should prove themselves useful."

"If you trust them, then I will," Yuki said. "Thank you, Leon. Words can't express how grateful I am."

"We are allies and friends." Leon smiled. "Helping each other is a given… by the way, if you try to concentrate your mana around your body and make it a little dense, you will learn a useful skill. Until next time."

There was no reason for long or dramatic farewells, even though an ocean separated them, now they could contact each with ease. Leon just has to find a way to send some phones to Japan, or perhaps the Russians would be able to do that since they managed to preserve a lot of technology… Anyway, after saying that, Leon and Lennart entered the megalodon.

Even though Leon just learned how to heal wounds, he didn't stop his practice. The next step would be to learn Regeneration, and that meant that he would have to wound himself in several parts of his body and make them heal at the same time. Just thinking of that was enough to make Leon sigh, he wondered if it wouldn't be more efficient to level up the Heal until level one hundred and hope it to evolve. To do, he would have to become a medic in a war or to capture a monster, damage, and heal it thousands of times… the first option was impossible, and the second was also out of the question. He killed hundreds of people, but he did to protect himself and rescue a friend. He also tortured Alexei and Seiji a little, but it was to obtain information that would solve many problems. Torturing a monster to level up his skill was something sick that Leon wasn't interested in doing.

"Wait a minute… what will happen if I heal something that is already dead?"

Leon didn't think of reviving the dead, he thought of using Heal in skeletons. According to certain games, the skeletons would suffer damage, but would that happen in the real world? Either way, there was a problem, to heal a wound, Leon had to touch it. The only wounds he didn't have to touch where the wounds of his own body.

"I wonder if it is possible to pass my mana to someone else… Mana Transfusion doesn't work on people, so I guess the stronger version of that skill must work on people…"
