Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

After four years, Leon finally learned what the skill Rage could do; essentially, it raised his strength, speed, endurance, and health at the cost of his mana, intelligence, mentality, and dexterity. The higher the level, the more his physical attributes increased, and the more his magic attributes decreased. For someone like him, who used magic to do anything, it wasn't very efficient. However, during the whole trip to Las Vegas, the skill leveled to the level seventeen, and now Leon was considering that using that and let loose once in a while wouldn't be so bad.

Two days later, Leon and Beth finally reached Las Vegas. However, only Leon went to Amanda's home since the moment the chopper stopped working; it would become visible. Leon arrived in the middle of the night, but surprisingly, Amanda and Hector were awake and working. It looked like they were revising some sort of plan.

"Leon? Thank God you are finally back!" Amanda ran and hugged Leon.

"Hey, long time no see." Leon's anger instantly disappeared. "I bought you a present."

"… Where did you get such a bow?!" Amanda asked, her eyes were wide open after seeing the stats of the bow.

"I borrowed from the Vatican City," Leon said. "Come to think of it; it is not a present since I have to return it…"

Hector and Amanda looked at Leon while frowning; it looked he did something unbelievable and was treating it like a joke.

"Sorry, there is no time to explain," Leon said. "You will use that to defeat the demons."

"Is that the relic I heard about?" Hector asked. "It is exactly what we need since we are preparing the city against the invasion of the demons, but…"

"So, they are already coming to this place…" Leon said.

"Yeah, Houston has fallen," Hector explained. "The regular citizens managed to escape a few of them came to Las Vegas, but 80% of the soldiers there perished."

"Is that so… even though we hurried…" Leon sighed. "Well, with this bow, you guys should be able to repel them for a while. I intend to help eventually, but I need to solve some things."

"Did you already solved that problem?" Amanda asked.

"Not yet, only half of it," Leon answered. "I know that you guys are busy, but you need to come with me. By the way, did you guys receive some message or visitor from New York?"

"No, why would we receive them?" Hector asked.

"Well, I guess I will explain along the way," Leon said. "I also brought someone who will help you guys in my place for the time being. Let's see her, but first.. is there someone here who can look after Maya?"

"Don't worry; Sasha is sleeping in her room," Amanda said.

Leon nodded and then took Hector and Amanda to where Betty was, they didn't like the feeling of flying using a thin layer of earth, but soon they got used to it. While they moved to where the chopper was hidden, Leon gave a brief summary of his actions in the past two months. Hector couldn't help but let out a big sigh when he heard everything; his brother-in-law did some crazy things and didn't even consider asking him for help. Hector massaged his forehead while he was trying to assimilate the whole situation.

"Betty? That Betty? You found your girlfriend in New York?" Amanda asked.

"Ex-girlfriend, she dumped after we graduated in high-school," Leon said. "Anyway, it doesn't matter, she can be trusted, and she is one of the most powerful soldiers in New York."

After a while, they finally reached the place where Betty was, while Leon was busy moving the prisoners, Betty greeted and Amanda.

"Woah, to think Amanda could be this big and feminine, maternity truly changes people…" Betty smiled. "I heard that you are a mother now, but I didn't hear Hector was the father… what a lucky scumbag."

"Hey…" Hector protested.

"Hahaha, you didn't change much, Betty." Amanda laughed. "You look the same as I remember."

"Please don't say that, it makes me feel depressed." Betty lowered her head and forced a smile. "By the way, Leon. Why did you bring them?"

"To carry their weapons and armor," Leon said. "I'm going to deliver the prisoners, and since Makoto won't ask for the items, the people of Las Vegas will make good use of it."

"… This spear is better than mine." Hector frowned.

"Those probably are the best weapons of the Allied Forces," Betty said. "I can't say for sure since I didn't see William, Sanchez, and Alisson fighting in a long time. Considering that they didn't even try to buy or take Leon's spear, they probably had some crazy weapons."

Amanda and Hector frowned when they saw what Leon did to the prisoners; they couldn't move anything aside from their heads, and their eyes were essentially dead… they had already accepted their fates.

"Anyway, I'm going to San Diego, and I will probably return in two days, but I won't stay for long," Leon declared. "So, if you need help with something, then think while you can because I will return to New York soon."

"Are you planning to rescue your friend alone?" Hector asked.

"That is the idea; I can't move that many people using earth magic," Leon said. "Besides, you will need all the help you can get to protect the city. Anyway, don't let anyone see Betty and the bow before the battle."

Amanda and Hector nodded, after that, he created an earth box in the shape of a massive rock to hide the chopper. Maybe they wouldn't need the helicopter, but Leon decided not to make the box all that sturdy.

After that, using earth, he transported everyone to Amanda's house. Then, Leon went to San Diego, transporting his prisoners.
