Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

Along the past week, Leon learned a lot of things from Amanda. Mainly about the situation of the Allied Forces of the North-America. It looked like the bigger the country, the more dungeons it would be. Japan had around thirty dungeons, but the Allied Forces of the North-America had more than one hundred dungeons across its territory. Unfortunately, there weren't nearly enough survivor cities or camps to watch those dungeons. So, the number of monsters appearing in the world was increasing with every passing minute.

However, it was not like more than one hundred types of monsters were crawling in the territory. Not a single person knew why, but there are several golem's dungeons, frozen dire wolves' dungeon, slimes' dungeons... and so on. Another weird thing was the fact that those dungeons connected to different parts of the monsters' world.

Usually, the number of monsters and dungeons would determine the number of materials, weapons, and tomes a nation could obtain, but that wasn't the case to the Allied Forces of the North-America. Due to the hydrogen bombs, millions of people died... so, despite having a much larger territory, the Allied Forces of the North-America only had three times more survivors. To make matters worse, no one had discovered yet who used the nukes.

Regardless, even though the survivors who once were citizens of Mexico, Canada, and the U.S.A. didn't live in the same regions. The survivors managed to recover from the hands of the monsters in several cities. Those were Montreal, Winnipeg, and Vancouver in the North.

In the South, survivors recovered Mexico City and Monterrey. In the former territory of his home country, survivors managed to recover Las Vegas, San Francisco, Houston, Chicago, Miami, Atlanta, and New York... which was were the representatives of the three former countries lived and worked. Leon headed there.

Leon could fly quite fast, but the number of monsters he met along the way didn't let him fly at the speed he wanted. Besides, he had to be careful of dragons. Although the earth dragon boss probably had the same power of an ordinary dragon, the second type could fly and, in a battle in the skies, wasn't all that good for Leon.

"I want to teleport..."

Leon could only pray that someday he will obtain that power. In any case, Leon saw nothing but destruction along the way. He felt depressed seeing his homeland like that, but at least he didn't feel scared because he didn't see any dragons... and that was weird.

"Amanda said that on the first days when the monsters appeared, they could see dozen of dragons every day, but then their attacks decreased... but why?"

Although it was something good, the doubt never was. By working together, a group of twenty survivors could kill an ordinary dragon, but the danger was still there. When that kind of battle usually happens, only by sheer luck, no one dies.

"Well then... how should I act?"

Leon's first target was William, the guy who gave the light-blue armor to Hector. Considering that he was one of the most important figures of the Allied Forces of the North-America, the chances of him being involved with the death of Makoto's son were pretty high. Two other men, after all, were controlling the spies of those three nations.

Regardless, Leon couldn't just invade headquarters and demand answers. The suspects were influential people, so he had to play his hand right, or he could die or be arrested... in the worst-case scenario he would die, and someone would discover that his brother-in-law was the leader of the survivors in Las Vegas.

"Appearing out of nowhere and saving the day is too suspicious... I guess I will start from below."

It would be time-consuming, but Leon would have the best chances to avoid suspicious if he disguises himself as a regular survivor who decided to move to another city. Usually, it would be too suspicious if a newcomer suddenly attracts the attention of the higher-ups, but Leon something that could change suspicions in curiosity, and that was magic.

"Let's see... my friends and I decided to move from Chicago to New York, but then we got ambushed by a horde of monsters. I just survived because I suddenly learn how to use Earth Manipulation... I guess that kind of background should be enough."

Leon would have to hide his sword, armor, and cape somewhere outside New York. He also couldn't show his amulet, but he could hide it in his clothes. He would mainly use Earth Manipulation to increase his fame and draw William's attention, and then in case something happens, he would use ice magic to get rid of anyone troublesome.

Two days later, Leon arrived in New York...
