Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path 93 Chapter 92

Leon managed to spend the first month in New York without letting anyone notice his presence. Although there were some rumors about him, no one knew his face. However, crossing the city covered in sand and blood made him stand out a lot. There was no water near the dungeon, so Leon only could clean himself at home. When Leon opened the door of his apartment, Gisela welcomed him with her mouth wide open of surprise.

"Master, what happened to you?" Gisela asked.

"I'm not your... forget it," Leon sighed. "Can you buy something for our lunch? I'm starving since I lost some weight to recover from my wounds. Don't run."

"Yes, master," Gisela said.

Although Gisela wasn't a stranger anymore and she had to train, Leon pretty much every time he wanted to take a bath, he would make her buy something. It was awkward to clean himself while someone so pretty was nearby, which was even more awkward since Gisela respected Leon a lot.

In the end, Leon burned those clothes since he wouldn���t be able to get rid of the smell of blood. Eventually, Gisela returned, and Leon started to eat while recalling the last battle. In the end, the problem was the fact that he was holding back to fit in that organization. However, he almost died because he was too weak physically.

"I guess I will have to train my body more frequently. I can increase my endurance and stamina just by training regularly, but I guess it is time to increase my health too... I'm not on the island, and most of the doubts vanished. I guess I'm ready for some painful training sessions..."

"Gisela, do you know how a person can increase health without using status points?" Leon asked.

"The only way I know of doing that is by eating dragons hearts, master," Gisela answered.

"Is that so... that is a problem since no one can choose what kind of status the dragon's heart can increase." Leon massaged his forehead.

In the end, it wouldn't be so easy to increase the stat that could increase the amount of damage Leon could take. There was a chance that someone discovered the method of doing that without using a dragon's heart, but since that information was too valuable, only a few handfuls of individuals could know that.

"I can't increase my health permanently... I guess the only is to learn some defensive or support spells."

However, in the end, that was also difficult. Leon could use Mana Reinforcement to increase most of his stats to some extent, but he didn't need that. Besides, it was too inefficient to improve his dexterity or strength when he only used magic. He needed to learn spells that could raise his endurance, speed, and mentality to increase his chances of survival. By increasing those, he would decrease the amount of damage he can receive if he fails on blocking projectiles or direct attacks.

"Creating offensive spells is easy... I just have to give the shape and shot as fast as possible, but I have no idea of the logic behind support spells."

At that point in time, Leon couldn't deny that he was a mage, and he knew the most common defensive spell for a mage, the Mana Shield. However, give shape and physical attributes to mana while he couldn't see it was just too difficult.

"And I didn't even learn how to absorb mana from cores yet..."

The number of things Leon needed to learn increased, but he had no idea how to learn it. His future was uncertain...

One week later, Gisele's mana and intelligence reached a decent level. So, Leon decided to teach her how to use Water Manipulation. Although the building was mostly made of earth, they couldn't use it since it was dangerous. Leon could create some earth to let her train, but he would have a hard time getting rid of that earth. It would be suspicious if suddenly throws earth from his window to the streets…

Sooner than Leon thought, Gisela learned how to manipulate water. He still needed to give her some pointers, but he would do that later because the blond receptionist paid him a visit.

"Hello, long time no see." The blond receptionist said.

"Yeah… is it about my promotion?" Leon asked.

"Yes, I came here to pick you up and take you to where the directors are." The blond receptionist said ."… but first, can I see Gisela for a moment?"

"Sure… Gisela, someone is here to see you."Leon said.

After a few seconds, Gisela left the bathroom and approached the door, obviously, without showing the Water Manipulation. She smiled when she saw the blonde receptionist, for some reason.

"Hello, Sarah." Gisela smiled.

"Hi... you look much better than the last time I saw you." Sarah frowned. "Much, much better... to think that I would see your smile again is kind of surprising. Did something happen? You look... so full of life."

"Yes, thanks to master, I found my path in life again," Gisela said. "Now, I can clearly see the road that will lead me to my goals."

"Is that so... I'm happy for you." Sarah frowned.

Sarah couldn't help but frown; it was only obvious since Gisela looked like an entirely different person. Leon didn't look the type of person who could change a person so much, much less someone who stared at the abyss for so long... Either way, Leon and Sarah left the building.

"Did you do or say something to Gisela?" Sarah asked.

"Yes, I keep saying to her to stop calling me master, but she doesn't listen," Leon answered.

Leon indeed didn't look like the type of person who could help someone like that, but Sarah decided not to pry. Gisela recovered herself, and that was the only thing Sarah was interested in.
