Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path 149 Chapter 148

Leon didn't have time to create his steel spears, so he used the steel fists he kept with himself just in case. The kid's mist was fast, but it was an Area of Effect magic, it wasn't fast enough to chase Leon while he was flying. So, Leon just flew in circles around that party while attacking them with the steel fists. Making sure to hit their faces as much as possible, Leon made them focus too much on his direct actions that they didn't notice Leon's indirect actions. While they were busy trying to block and evade the steel fists, Leon slowly covered their bodies with earth.

Leon's plan worked well, almost… the kid noticed Leon's actions and made him lose control over the earth that covered his body by freezing it. Although the ice was very powerful, the kid didn't feel anything.

"I guess he increased his Ice Resistance while he practiced his skills…"

Leon had one minute to deal with him, in one minute, he would lose control over the earth that stopped his friends, and then he would have to start from the beginning again… Although Leon wanted to test his skills against him, he didn't want to risk killing a teenager. So, Leon shot several Fire Arrows, hoping that one of them would wound him. However, the mist dissolved the flames pretty easily.

Leon tried Earth Arrows, but then again, the earth arrows lost its power and speed after covered in ice. He tried to damage him with his weak spells, but nothing worked.

"This is a pain…"

Leon gave up on the idea of fighting fair and square, Yuki and Makoto's lives were more important than testing his skills. So, he used Gravity and Telekinesis to mess with the kid's balance. The kid got dizzy after Leon made him spin in midair, and then made him fall hitting his face against the ground. Just as Leon had expected, he wasn't good at receiving damage either…

Without wasting time, Leon covered the kid and his friend's body in steel. The chances of them escaping that prison were close to none, but Leon decided to transport them to another location since he could hear the monsters' footsteps approaching.

"I didn't want to make prisoners because I don't have time to deal with them… I don't have time to give them water or feed them… now what?"

Leon could only hope that that situation would be solved before he has to save those six from dying of hunger or thirst. Anyway, Leon caused the six dungeons to break and then stopped. This time the soldiers protecting Moscow would have a hard time fighting, they were close to exhaustion, and now they lost their trump card and the five soldiers who were supposed to back him up.

After hiding the mage and his friends in an igloo, Leon decided to practice his healing skills while the army of monsters marched to Moscow. The beasts reached Moscow at sunset, and this time, things got pretty chaotic. Although Leon was also pretty tired, he was used to fighting like that, but he noticed that soldiers weren't.

The second night battle in a row was disastrous, the citizens had time to evacuate, but several buildings, mostly ordinary houses got destroyed. Thanks to that, Leon was feeling guilty again. He could only hope that the soldiers would do their jobs and protect the citizens… even though he had no right to hope for that since he caused such a situation.

Still, as if he was madman, he started to make the skeletons and hid them under the snow. It was better to be safe than sorry. Leon also had a feeling that things wouldn't go so smoothly, like the time he convinced those guys on the island not to get in his way. He needed to have insurance for the worst-case scenario, after all.

The battle extended throughout the night and only ended at the sunset of the next day. A good part of Moscow got destroyed, but Leon couldn't confirm the damage from far away. Rather than that, he was more worried about Makoto. He should have contacted him, but he didn't. Something must have happened, but Leon couldn't just go and check. It wouldn't be weird if the soldiers of Moscow already knew his face. Although he concluded that the satellites gave away his position, there was a chance that some who is good at hiding was observing and took his photograph.

Leon was totally in the dark in that situation, but now he couldn't do anything but wait. If he causes other dungeon breaks without hearing from Makoto first, he could create a disaster. Leon didn't want that, even though he stole the Angelic Bow from them, Leon also wanted to make Russians his allies. If he causes the deaths of soldiers, then it was inevitable since Alexei kidnapped the daughter of his ally. There was still a chance that they could become his allies. However, things would be different; he causes the death of a dozen civilians.

Anyway, while Leon was creating skeletons and trying to figure out what had happened, he received a call from Makoto, but Leon frowned when he didn't recognize the voice on the other side of the line.

"Hello? Can I talk with the American dog named Leon?"

"… I presume you are Alexei." Leon said. "Let's not waste time calling each other names. What do you want, Alexei?"

"What I want? I want your head in front of me so that I can smash it with kicks! Until now, I decided to ignore your country, there is an ocean between us, after all. But after conquering England, I will attack the Allied Forces of North-America, and I won't waste time trying to conquer your damn nation, I will just turn everything into rubble!"
