Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path 168 Chapter 167

Several days passed and just like Leon thought, it would be hard to teach the survivors of Las Vegas how to heal wounds. Maybe it was because they only recently started to use mana consciously, but none of those two thousand had any sensitivity when it comes to mana.

Regardless, it was a matter of survival, so Leon had to keep teaching them while he can. Potions can heal wounds, but those are expensive, and it's not convenient to use them in the middle of a battle. Besides, the more people offering support from the backlines, the more the chances of someone in the front lines dying will decrease.

After one week of non-stop teaching lessons and practice, Leon finally managed to heal two wounds at the same time at a decent speed. However, just as he had expected, he didn't receive the message confirming that he had learned a new skill. Without any other choice, he started his training to heal three wounds at the same time. But soon, he stopped because Sasha and Maya approached, and by the look of things, Maya wanted to play with her uncle.

Maya was a very smart child. She was so clever that the first thing she asked Leon when she saw him after weeks was to ask what happened to his arm and leg. That made Leon's heartache. He didn't want to lie, so he promised her that he would tell her, once she catches the water ball, he always creates to play with her. Leon was hoping that he would regenerate his limbs before she can get fast enough to outspeed his projectiles, but… you never know. Much to Leon's surprise, Sasha decided to strike a conversation while he was looking after Maya.

"… Leon… can you spar with me for a while?" Sasha asked after making some long pauses.

"Do you want me to create steel spears and make them attack you?" Leon asked. "Or do you want to train your reaction speed by trying to block my spells?"

"Both!" Sasha said, excitedly.

Leon frowned, he couldn't understand the reason for her excitement, but then he recalled Hector's words. She liked him in the past, but it would be way too weird if she still likes him after several years… that was even truer since she worked with Amanda for years, and she had accepted her brother's death a long time ago.

"The romance topic just makes me feel depressed since the holy sword is still sealed… better not think about it. Or maybe I should look for a spell to cure myself… I doubt that medicines will help me since my Poison Resistance level is quite high."

Anyway, Leon couldn't damage his body while Maya was nearby, so it was a good idea to train his Spearmanship. Until now, he managed to overpower his enemies, but until when that would work? It was better to keep training since it was his most efficient way to defeat a larger number of enemies.

To avoid a bloody scene while his niece was watching, Leon decided to start slowly and see how fast Sasha was. Despite her meek and shy behavior, she was quite good at fighting with her two swords. Her movements were precise, fast, and strong. While Leon was going easy, she also easily blocked his two spears completely. That being said, she paid the price for blocking Leon's spears, her hands were bleeding.

"Your attacks are quite heavy…" Sasha said, showing a pained expression.

"Well, those spears weigh over thirty kilograms…" Leon said and then healed her hands.

Leon's attacks could be three times faster… so if Sasha tries to block the full power of his spears with a single hand… she would probably break her arm. However, she asked for more, because it was rare for her to find training partners and because her skill was leveling up quite fast.

"It is probably because Spearmanship level is high… or because the system recognizes me as a strong opponent for her… either way, it works well for her."

While Leon was sparring with Sasha, he noticed that she also had pretty good footwork. By the look of things, she practiced martial art in the past… Leon didn't want to pry, but he decided to memorize her movements. He had two swords now, and it was time to learn how to use them properly. Well, everything starts once he regenerates his limbs.

Since Leon also felt the need to obtain a few extra points, he decided to use his weakest spells against Sasha. However, since Earth Bullet was powerful enough to break her fingers even though she blocked the projectile, Leon decided to use only Water Bullet and Wind Bullet. The damage caused by those was small, but they were powerful enough to force Sasha to concentrate, or if she fails, it will hurt a lot…

"I need to train my low-level skills in order to increase my mana since my intelligence doesn't increase the effectiveness of Heal or Cure Burns…"

Leon thought he worked pretty hard to reach his current level of power, but considering that he had several skills under level ten, it was a waste not to obtain those free status points. Besides, he had ideas to create several other small spells. The problem was that he had many priorities… At least now, he found a way to help Sasha train while he obtains a few status points.

Anyway, after another week practicing regeneration, he finally could heal three wounds at the same time. The survivors of the city also progressed a little bit, of those two thousand Leon tried to teach Heal, fifteen of them finally could heal small scratches… it was little progress, but they progressed nonetheless.
