Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

118 Chapter 117



Considering that William, Sanchez, and Alisson gave the order to the members of Betty's team to use her as a hostage, Leon was worried about Gisela, Amanda, and Maya. He didn't reveal to them that he had found his sister or where she was, but William probably knew about Betty's hometown. There was a chance that he could have figured out that Amanda and Maya are directed related to him. There was also a chance that he also discovered that Gisela became Leon's good friend, but it was hard to be sure. Regardless, Leon had to check Gisela.

"No... I cannot do that. They can tell my localizations thanks to the ring, if by chance he didn't capture Gisela, he will notice that she is an important friend in the very moment I visit my apartment."

The only option was to check Amanda, Maya, Hector, and Sasha. However, that also would reveal that he had important people in Las Vegas. If he fails, they will be in danger. Leon also had to deliver the prisoners to one of the transporters; he couldn't keep them with him forever.

"What a pain…"

First of all, Leon picked the items that he had hidden near New York. A big battle was approaching, so it was battle to be careful. When Leon recovered his gear, he suddenly had an idea. He recalled what happened when he ate the mana of the skeletons' dust, those lost their magical powers and became lifeless sand. What if he could do the same to the cursed rings?

"It is worth a try."

Betty frowned when she saw Leon touching the cursed ring, the moment anyone put those, it was impossible to remove it. The ring could be touched, and it wasn't stuck to the flesh, but it just didn't move. However, when Leon used Mana-Eater, he noticed the purple light becoming dimmer. After several more tries, the ring lost its color, and then Leon managed to take it off.

"Hehehe, too easy," Leon smirked.

"How did you do that?" Betty asked, with her eyes widely open.

"With magic… hard work sure pays off." Leon answered. "Anyway, let me disable your ring, and the prisoners rings."

"Will you teach me how to use that?" Betty asked.

"It is not that simple, you can learn, but it will take a while," Leon explained. "The best for you would be to start with the basics."

Leon taught Betty how to use Earth Manipulation while he disabled her ring, on her first try, she succeeded, but she only could make a depressed expression. It was easy and straightforward, that she could only feel ashamed by not trying to do that before.

"This is a joke… this has to be a joke." Betty covered her face with both hands to hide her embarrassment." Please tell me that magic is not that simple."

"Elemental Manipulation magic is relatively simple, but it will take a while before you learn how to use a spell," Leon explained. "I learned my first spell after almost one year on the island, but Gisela learned in only one month."

"… Why did you teach her?" Betty crossed her arms.

"Why do you look upset? Could it be that you are still single after all these years?" Leon asked.

"Don't change the subject," Betty said.

"She is learning how to use various types of weapons, but since magic is so convenient, I decided to teach her," Leon explained. "She wants to go to her home, so I decided to give her a hand."

"I see… Well, if you taught her, then you will have to teach me too." Betty declared as if it was a matter of fact.

"Well, if you do a good work helping Amanda, perhaps I will," Leon said. "Anyway, wait here. I will check things in New York."

After disabling the cursed rings of the prisoners, Leon flew to New York. Usually, most parts of the city would be dark at night, but every single energy pole that could work was working. Not only that, but several floodlights were also being aimed toward the skies.

"Those guys sure are cautious…"

Leon could see in the distance several dozen of soldiers moving toward the main building, William probably noticed that Leon disabled the cursed rings and was imagining that Leon would attack. He attacked, but only the floodlights. To make them unable to see where he was going, he destroyed every single one of them.

Using the same method he used to invade the chapel, Leon invaded his apartment only to find the place completely empty. There were signs of battles in it, Leon even saw blood… a lot of blood. Several holes in the walls created by Gisela's ice bullets, and there were no signs of the weapons he left her to train.

"They captured her…"

In any other situation, Leon would laugh. Those guys were so pathetic and dumb that their only strategy was to use hostages. Leon wanted to laugh, but he couldn't… because they threatened his friends. Leon sighed to calm his nerves, the enemy wanted to make him lose his cool, and he couldn't give them that pleasure. After repairing the holes he created, Leon left the building and left New York. When Betty saw Leon's angry face, she hesitated in asking that, but she did it anyway.

"Did they capture her?" Betty asked.

"Yes," Leon answered.

"What are you going to do?" Betty asked.

"I'm wondering if I really should give Makoto the pleasure to kill them," Leon said. "Maybe I should do it myself."

Betty felt shivers when she heard Leon's monotone voice. Until that moment, she only saw him slightly troubled by the situations. But after seeing one of his friends being taken as a hostage again. He got mad, really mad.
