Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

Leon wondered what Jertien was planning, but it looked he didn't have anything in mind since Jorhorn was always making unpleasant expressions while looking at them. In any case, it looked like Jorhorn didn't like the reason behind Leon's actions since he started to hunt for the angels more frequently.

After hunting angels quite frequently for two weeks, Leon helped them, and at the same time, he leveled up his skills. However, it looked he would have to stop that because Jorhorn was planning to attack the base of the angels on that continent. Much to their surprise, they had one, and after looking around for a while, they found where it was… it was in front of the chimeras dungeon.

"Our plan is simple," Jorhorn said after he declared the attack. "Kill every single angel that is nearby that dungeon. This time we can go all out because we can't risk letting any of them live and report about our presence to that guy."

Leon was tired of hearing about that guy without knowing his name, it was evident that he was the boss of the dungeons on that world, but until now, Jorhorn or any other didn't tell Leon about his abilities.

"How strong is 'that guy'?" Leon asked.

"… The army of angels has six leaders, and they are more or less two or three times stronger than the average angel in terms of health, mana, and stamina," Alurelle explained. "However, the problem is their skills and battle experience. You saw that the ordinary dungeons attack us without thinking all that much. However, those six don't make any mistakes, and they use all their abilities from the very beginning… They can become spheres of light, and by activating that, we can't even accompany them with our eyes… they are so fast and deadly that we are only alive thanks to a stupid amount of luck."

"So, it is a spell similar to the one Donan uses," Leon said.

"Yes, but much more effective," Alurelle nodded. "Donan doesn't have the body to withstand that skill for a long time, so the level of his Dark Aura is probably low. We can react to Donan's attacks, but not to those six… if we want to succeed, we have to take them down one at a time. If we try to face two of them, we will, without a doubt, fail."

Leon wondered why his luck had to be so terrible… the enemy has six generals, and all of them were much more dangerous than Donan. Since they didn't fool around, it was impossible to catch them off guard. Leon's Mana Armor would probably prevent him from instant death. However, for how long?

"We will attack at night," Jorhorn declared. "So, rest while you can and don't make any mistakes."

It would be quite a sight to see those seven going all out, and Leon would make sure to observe everything with his eyes wide open for many reasons. Anyway, even before decisive battles, Leon didn't tend to rest. So, he just practiced Gravity and Telekinesis on himself to increase their effectiveness. His new spells would level up a lot using against the angels, but he would have to hit them for that to happen, and for the time being, using spells like those on such opponents was a waste of time and mana.

Although it was a bit hard to travel at night, Leon and the others didn't have difficulties while flying and killing the angels they found along the way. It was quite easy to find them, after all. One just had to follow the trail of destruction and fire, the more recent the trail, the easier it would be to find one.

"I guess light magic is really a combination of all four basic elements… but to make them combine like this, it looks like I will have to reach a terrific level in creating all basic types of elemental magic."

Leon concluded that after seeing a perfect hole on the ground, even though it was minimal, he could see signs of earth and water magic in those holes. The extremity of the places that got hit by Arrow of Light of similar projectiles was a little wet, and at the same time, there was a sign that something that had mass, splattered the dirt that didn't melt. Since the burning smell was intense, it was evident that fire was part of that kind of attack. As for wind… Leon didn't identify any signs of wind magic on those attacks, but there was no reason to believe that it wasn't part of the combination.

Leon couldn't help but frown while looking at the 'camp' of the angels. There were no patrols, no barracks, tents… nothing. They were only sleeping on the ground without caring for the cold of the night and the rough feeling of the ground on their bodies. Some angels were guarding the dungeon and waiting expectantly for some chimeras to appear, but there was no sign of them. There was a bonfire in the middle of their 'camp,' but only that…

"I can't help but wonder what their end goal is…" Leon frowned. "They want to kill all monsters, but then what? Why they don't even think of building a society here?"

"It doesn't matter," Ivolaer smiled excitedly. "They will die, so it doesn't matter."

"That would be the case if they are the only ones who are still… but it isn't," Genelosa sighed. "The only way to discover that would be by talking with their leaders, but even though they are not vicious, they aren't talkative either, when they see someone who doesn't have wings on their backs."
