Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path 79 Chapter 78

The next day, Leon was quite restless. As expected, he couldn't just spend the week in his sister's house without doing anything. Although he looked after Maya the previous day, he needed to do something more... violent. He wanted to fight against the monsters and decrease Amanda's workload. All in all, he still wanted to protect his sister from the shadows.

"Is there any dungeon nearby that is causing trouble?" Leon asked.

"There is... but why do you ask?" Hector frowned. "Didn't you say you would take it easy for a while?"

"That was my intention, but I'm bored," Leon said. "I can't relax knowing that someone is causing those dungeon breaks."

"How can you say that?" Hector asked, looking a little offended. "How can you say that you are bored while looking at such a cute angel. Look, feel the cuteness of those cheeks... this is heaven!"

Hector was hugging his daughter and gently pressing his cheek against hers. The image of a doting parent... it was funny, but it only made Leon felt like punching him. Meanwhile, Amanda and Sasha could only smile wryly. Speaking of which, it seemed that Sasha also joined them for breakfast from time to time.

"Well, I don't mind if you want to help," Hector showed a serious expression," But you are not from here, I don't know why, but you don't want to be seen with us, right? The dungeons are under my control, to enter them, I would have to accompany, or you would have to show a document with my signature."

Leon sighed, in the end, he couldn't help directly. Although plenty of soldiers and survivors visited Hector and Amanda, he always made sure not to be seeing while there were visitors nearby. A few survivors saw Leon walking with Hector on the first day, but eventually, that image would disappear from their minds. In the end, Leon spent the nights of that week teaching Amanda, Hector, and Sasha how to manipulate earth, water, wind, and fire. During the mornings, he played with Maya, and in the afternoon, he trained by himself in the garden.

Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Earth Arrow.

You obtained 01 status points.

Mana: 18Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Wind Arrow.

You obtained 01 status points.

Mana: 12

Learning how to create projectiles with other shapes would take a while, so Leon decided to level up his new skills to strengthen them as much as possible and also to obtain a few free status points. Since he wasn't moving all that much, he decided to practice his Swordsmanship. Creating steel swords would make the skill level up faster, but Leon decided to make his body used to it. In case he ran out of mana in some situation, he would have to protect himself.

On the seventh night that Leon stayed in his sister's house, Leon decided to leave, but before that, he decided to say goodbye at the dinner table. It was the perfect chance because that night, Sasha wasn't eating with them.

"I'm going to leave the city tonight," Leon declared. "Thank you for letting me stay here for a while."

"Already? You barely stayed here a week." Amanda said, showing a sad face.

"Sorry, but I must hurry," Leon said. "Time is of the essence..."

Amanda hugged Leon, and he kissed her forehead. She knew what her brother was planning to do and couldn't help but think that was too much work for a single person to do alone.

"... I don't know what you are going to do, but I wish you luck." Hector said after a long sigh.

"Thanks... if something you don't hear anything about me again or if you hear by the mouth of someone suspicious, don't do anything," Leon warned. "Just act like you don't know me. Although some people saw us together, they probably will forget about thanks to the fact that you taught everyone Earth Manipulation."

"Now you are making me worry... what the hell are you going to do?" Hector frowned. "Do you need the help of someone reliable and trustworthy? I bet Sasha wouldn't hesitate to go with you."

"No, there is no need," Leon said.

"Dude, get a clue..." Hector sighed.

"What are you implying that she still likes me?" Leon chuckled. "She didn't see me in eight years, and she barely knows me. If she is feeling something in just nostalgia of seeing an old crush after a long time, soon she will forget about this."

"You are so dense..." Hector sighed again.

"Well, if you are right, it wouldn't work out in the end," Leon said. "She is beautiful, but I have no feelings for her. Rather, I don't have time for that kind of relationship."

Now that someone brought up the topic, Leon noticed that he had no feelings for Yuki either. He said that to Makoto as a joke... while thinking in that, Leon also noticed that he wasn't like that in the past. Even during high school, he had a few crushes, that he knew nothing about it. The island changed him in many aspects, that was obvious since he showed no interest in someone with lingering feelings for him.

"If you send her to go with me, who will look after Maya while Amanda fights?" Leon asked.

"Well... there are plenty of people who could..." Hector hesitated.

"You said there is no one more trustworthy than her, so she must stay here," Leon said. "I can protect myself; you just have to worry about protecting Amanda and Maya. If something happens to them..."

"Got it." Hector nodded, showing a stern expression.

In the end, Leon and Hector shook their hands. He protected them in the last years, so there was no one more reliable than him in that aspect. After patting Amanda's head and saying goodbye to Maya, who was sleeping, Leon left Las Vegas in the middle of the night.
