Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path 216 Chapter 215

Leon didn't have many good memories of being attacked by non-elemental attacks. Mana Bullets couldn't even make him feel nervous since he had Mana Shield… but Mana Beam made him recall the time he got shot by a railgun. Still… at that time, he got attacked by a projectile that had the power of three thousand points of mana, but he survived. Since then, his skills increased, and he got stronger, so Leon was confident that he would survive this time without losing a limb… probably.

Mana Beam slammed against Leon's Mana Shield, and the entire dungeon trembled. Once again, Hammath and Ava waited for the world after death, thanks to it, they stopped making Leon recover his mana.

"Don't stop!" Leon shouted. "It's not over yet."

Hammath and Ava recovered themselves, and Leon used Appraisal again. It was hard to compare, but it looked like that attack was more or less thirty percent weaker than the full-powered railgun shot.

"Although that special attack is good to finish off enemies, it isn't that efficient against mages that have a lot of mana."

The boss used two thousand points of mana, but Leon only lost fifteen hundred points of his own mana. But it was a bit too soon to celebrate… there was a chance that the boss could use all its mana to self-destruct and cause massive amounts of damage. Fortunately, for some reason, probably because its system overheated after using that attack, the boss didn't use Mana Beam again. In the end, after a few minutes, the robot just stopped moving like a masterless puppet.

"No loot this time, huh." Leon looked away after confirming that the boss didn't drop anything.

"It's finally over?" Hammath asked. "Phew… I never felt so scared before."

"I wish your grandfather could hear this." Ava approached the fallen boss and started to kick it. "Mages sure have convenient skills. I can't imagine even our leader defeating such a monster without moving from a single spot."

Leon started to imagine the strength of someone who has been fighting against monsters and training his body over the course of seven decades… and he couldn't help but imagine a super-man-like living being. Leon even started to wonder if he wasn't getting too careless as of late. After all, he said some harsh things to Gurr as well. Although Leon had an advantage as long as he keeps his distance, Gurr certainly has more tricks upon his sleeve and much more battle experience.

"… Anyway, I'm going to check the other world." Leon declared. "I'm serious this time. If you follow me, I will cancel our deal."

Like always, there was a purple crystal at the end of the dungeon, and Leon touched it while preparing himself to act if something unexpected happens on the other side. After touching it, soon, Leon started to regret that. Putting the numerous bosses, Leon could see around aside; he was more interested and worried about the situation of that world. Leon felt the temperature of his body increasing because the weather in that place was much higher than in any place he had ever been. Not only that, but the air was also stagnated, and the smell of things rotting was everywhere.

"The heck is this…"

Leon appeared in the middle of a metal city; despite that, he could see pieces of metal and trash in all directions. He was even on the top of a pile of organic garbage that was incredibly unpleasant, and the texture made him recall a slime… a dark slime. At first, Leon thought he was in an abandoned city where the living beings of that world used to throw their trash, but he changed his mind when he saw himself surrounded by skyscrapers… that wasn't something he would see in an abandoned city. Besides, some robots were still building some facilities.

"Everything is made of metal… it is as if robots created everything and intend to keep growing their empire."

Leon didn't see a living soul in the distance, he had to confirm that, but he didn't have time. Still, he was pretty sure that it was a world that AI took control over everything and eliminated the intelligent race or races that lived in that world. That place didn't have the climate to sustain the life of ordinary living beings… Regardless, Leon returned because he was about to be attacked dozens of those bosses.

"What a scary place… it made me recall the Terminator world." Leon murmured.

"Who is the Terminator?" Hammath frowned.

"… Someone who you will never meet." Leon sighed. "Lead the way to the next dungeon, once we get there, you will receive your rewards."

Leon managed to level up his Thunder Bullet and Staff Mastery a lot while fighting the robot boss, but he still could train them against the mechanical spiders. However, he didn't feel like it because he already had the means to defeat them with ease. Although Leon needed free status points, he also required battle experience. Raw power wasn't the only thing he would need against the beings that were threatening that world.

"My first option is to obtain knowledge on the city above, but I will also need power and more combat experience to return to that place, obtain what I want, and escape alive."

That was Leon's plan, but it looked like things wouldn't go as smoothly as he wanted. Once Leon, Hammath, and Ava left the dungeon, they saw Gurr and four other men waiting for them, and by the look of Gurr's face, he didn't come to say hi.
