Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

112 Chapter 111



After hearing Leon\'s crazy plan, Betty couldn\'t help but frown. He explained to her that he obtained the power to deal with megalodons while he was on the island, but she still couldn\'t imagine that.

"I knew you were a talented magician and that we would use your skeletons as a diversion, but..." Betty furrowed her eyebrows. "Can you really do those things?"

"Yeah, it took a while, but I obtained the power to defeat hundreds of the king of the seas," Leon answered. "And like I said, I\'m still improving. However, I can do that much, just fine. The problem will be to convince the other six."

"I\'m the captain; they will obey me," Betty said. "However, you will have to show them that, or they may think that you will lure them into a trap."

"If you think I should, then I will show them," Leon said. "But are you sure we can trust them?"

"Like I said, Leon, we are doing this kind of work to help the citizens of our nations," Betty answered. "Those guys are my friends, I know their families and I worked with them for months. They can be trusted."

"... All right then." Leon said.

Although Leon easily trusted Betty, it would a long time for him to trust her teammates. He knew her very well, and by looking at her in the eye, Leon was sure that her essence didn\'t change. But he couldn\'t read strangers like that, so he decided to be careful. The best option would be to use them as a diversion, and only Leon and Betty would steal the relic, but things could go wrong if they were alone. If they get surrounded, they would have no choice but to fight. So, to avoid any deaths, Leon decided to let them tag along.

Leon\'s plan was simple; he would spend two days creating skeletons knights. Without sleeping, he would be able to create six thousand skeletons, and those would attack Rome from two sides. That would be enough for the diversion. Meanwhile, Leon, Betty, and the others would invade Vatican City by the skies. That was why Leon spend the rest of the afternoon, making Betty and the others levitate using earth magic. It was very annoying to reveal the things he could do to strangers, but it was in order to avoid deaths, so it couldn\'t be helped. After convincing that he could make everyone cross Rome while flying and avoiding detection, they agreed to the change of plans.

"I can\'t believe you have so much mana to do something like this for so long," Betty said while she was floating in a chair made of earth.

"Well… I trained my earth magic a lot. Besides, the more intelligence you have, the more powerful and efficient your mana becomes." Leon explained.

For the time being, Betty and her teammates were thinking that Leon could use only earth magic. Betty probably noticed that he was still hiding his powers, but she could understand why, so she didn\'t complain.

When it got dark again, they resumed the trip. The flight would last until sunrise, and this time they would land in Italy. Since Leon couldn\'t control the skeletons miles away from them, he could only give them a few orders. Leon would create three thousand skeletons knights in a port city called Naples, and from there, they would march while keeping a defensive instance toward Rome. After that, they would move to another city called Viterbo and create more than three thousand skeletons there and give them the same orders.

"You will have to stay awake for three days and nights," Betty said. "Can you handle that?"

"No worries, I\'m used to it," Leon answered.

Speaking of worries, Leon explained to them that his mission was to bring the responsible for the prince of Japan\'s death. Some of them suddenly grabbed their weapons when Leon mentioned that, but they relaxed a little when Leon explained that he would negotiate on their behalf to avoid their deaths. The who issued the order to steal the water dragon\'s scales had been William, so he would have to pay for the consequences of his orders. According to Betty, he wasn\'t a bad person, a bit too thirsty for power perhaps and also a bit of a supremacist, but everything he did was for the sake and glory of his country… Still, crime was a crime, and crimes must be punished.

The next morning, they landed in the abandoned port city, and after checking the perimeter, they set up a small camp while Leon was meditating and creating his army of skeletons. Some monsters appeared to attack, but Betty and his team quickly killed them.

Although Leon knew that he had the power to do it, just like Betty and the others, he was quite impressed while the undead army was increasing. Summoning magic was quite impressive, but it had a few weaknesses. Since it wasn\'t elemental magic, none of the types of magic Leon learned on the island could strengthen them. Not only that, controlling a few skeletons ultimately was possible, but not the whole army.

Twenty-four hours later, Leon, Betty, and the others left the port by helicopter while seeing the army marching toward Rome.

"It is quite a sight… are you sure they won\'t kill anyone?" Betty asked.

"You can relax, I only gave them the order to block the attacks and march," Leon explained.

Six hours later, they landed on Viterbo, after checking the perimeter and confirming its safety, they set up the camp and waited until Leon finished the second army of undead. Leon finished the job at noon, so they rested until it got dark.
