Although Leon was in a hurry, he decided to return to Japan using Celsius' power. It was better to do that while he can before he forgets about it if something happens. Currently, Leon, Yuki, and the five terrorists were flying on an ice platform created by Celsius. Conveniently enough, only Leon could see Celsius. So, Yuki didn't know about the existence of spirits yet.

"To think I would be used like this..." Celsius clenched her teeth. "The next time you try to use my powers as a vehicle, I will freeze you to death."

"If you don't like that, you can think of ways to regain your power. You need my mana to grow stronger, right? Feel free to do so whenever you feel like it... I won't force you, but at least train once a week is necessary."

Since no one aside from Leon could see Celsius, no one could hear her either.

"By the way, Celsius and Sylph, even though you two are working with me, you guys can still give your blessings to other people?"

"Yes," Sylph answered.

"Obviously," Celsius said.

Leon started to wonder why Ilyana didn't say that... she probably had an intermediate fragment of all spirits, after all. Most likely, she didn't say anything because those spirits could only grant the same powers of lesser spirits like the Efreet and Gnome Leon met on the goblins' world.

"Do you guys have to test the people I decided to receive your powers?"

"No, if you want to give them basic powers, you just need to sacrifice ten thousand points of your mana," Celsius answered. "Just don't go throwing around my powers to every single idiot you find."

Leon sighed, being warned like that by a spirit was kind of depressing. Even himself doesn't intend to give that power to his friends, unless he proves themselves to be trustworthy again.

It was 05:00 PM when Leon and Yuki returned to Tokyo as if Ren had locked the terrorist there, Yuki guided Leon to her palace. Although he wanted to fly in order to level up Celsius, Yuki said to use Transfer in order not to let anyone see the terrorists... it looked like Ren did something like that too. Much to Leon's surprise, on Yuki's dojo, there was a hidden door that would lead to an underground prison.

"A prison under the palace?" Leon frowned. "You are a bit insane, don't you think?"

"My palace is the building most well-guarded of the country," Yuki explained. "Since that is the case, the most suited place to create a prison is under the palace."

"I wonder how that makes any sense for you..." Leon sighed.

Yuki sure had confidence in her skills. If a prisoner escapes, she would be the first target, after all. Regardless, the interior of the place looked quite old, so that idea has been working so far.

After going down for a few minutes, Leon and Yuki finally reached the bottom of the prison, and the place really looked like a dungeon. There were no cells, but there was a type of coffins made of mithril that were being used to keep the terrorists locked. Ren was there, keeping his eyes on them and electrocuting them with a spear the moment they were about to wake up.

"What the hell is this? A torturing chamber?" Leon frowned. "I wouldn't be able to sleep knowing that such a place lies below my room."

"Your Majesty! You returned pretty fast!" Ren ignored Leon's words.

"It looked like you already started," Yuki said. "Did they say something?"

"No, I didn't let them stay awake," Ren said.

"Do you guys have any device or magic item that cancels the effect of mana or spells inside a specific area?" Leon asked.

"No, wouldn't that kind of thing be a problem for you?" Yuki frowned.

"I wouldn't sleep soundly at night if I let myself worry about such things," Leon answered. "Well, it doesn't matter. There is another way to stop them from using any spells and contact their allies."

Leon started to use Mana Absorption and drained the terrorist's mana, thanks to that. He obtained a few minutes to question them. However, before deciding one to interrogate, Leon analyzed them. They were all men that seemed to be around thirty and forty years old. Three of them had black hair, four were blond, and three had red hair... they seemed to be people from all over the world. The only they had in common was their lust of power and the fact that they doomed hundreds of thousands of survivors.

Since they all had the bodies of warriors, Leon decided to choose the one who looked to be the youngest. He was blond and had a scar on his chin. After taking him out of the mithril coffin, Leon used Flamethrower and started to burn his right leg.

"AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!" The blond terrorist wake up once his flesh started to melt.

The smell of flesh burning made Leon almost puke, but he endured. Much to his surprise, Yuki and Ren looked pretty calm, as if that was something they had seen or done many times. Leon only stopped when the blonde terrorist lost half of his leg. At some point, the pain decreased, but he was still moaning and crying.

"Who are you working for?" Leon asked. "Where you stayed in the past years?"

"I-I don't know... he didn't say his name to us." The blond terrorist answered while snort was running to his mouth.

Leon used Flamethrower again and burned the rest of the blond terrorist right leg.

"You forgot to answer my second question," Leon said.
