Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

After exploring the northern continent for one week, Jorhorn decided to act again. Leon didn't know it, but the tower had an electronic panel that had the map of the six worlds. However, aside from that, nothing was registered, because everyone knew that monsters destroyed everything over the last twenty years. Still, after exploring for a week, it had seven new entries. Those were locations of the dungeons of that continents, and the 'camps' of angels were nearby as well.

"After observing those places for a week, we concluded a few things," Jorhorn said while he was pointing to the screen. "The number of dungeons in our worlds decreased, but all of them spawn new creatures. Chimeras, mermaids, merman, and Fire Earthworms are four of them. The others are Reptilians, Cyclops, and Centaurs. They are at the same level as the Chimeras, but their dungeon is much more active. So, we will be able to use them for a while."

"The situation is supposed to be more difficult," Alurelle frowned. "Why didn't you tell the problems we will have to face yet?"

"I was going to start now…" Jorhorn sighed. "There are several problems. Those dungeons aren't that far away from each other. All of them are located on the southern side of this continent, and the angels tend to fly to other dungeons at random moments. There is a chance that we may find a slightly smarter angel among them, one that will retreat once it notices our approach and then tells their leader about us. If we want to succeed in destroying them without fail, we will have to destroy all of them in a single night."

"We already succeeded once," Ivolaer said. "We can do that seven times easily."

"As I said, the dungeons of those places are very active," Jorhorn added. "So, to keep the monsters of those places from leaving their dungeons, we will have to leave someone nearby to kill the monsters. Otherwise, the monsters population in this world will increase, and that will give the chance of the angels in the central continent to notice that something is wrong here."

"I see… so the more we succeed, the harder the battles will get, and our chances of failing will also increase…" Genelosa sighed. "How troublesome."

There was a way to solve that problem, Leon just had to use Summon Zombie. However, it looked like they didn't know how useful that skill was. So, Leon started to wonder about what he should do… explain the card in his hands or just wait and see.

"As expected, this skill is too suspicious… not even those guys who lived for hundreds of years know what I can do with this skill… I don't want to use this skill even more."

"So, even Leon will have to watch one of the dungeons…" Alurelle said. "Or he will have to help the last of us to destroy the last enemy camp of this continent…"

"We can't keep watching those places forever," Jertien declared. "After are we going to do when we have to attack the central continent?"

"I didn't say we have to watch the dungeons forever, only until we get stronger enough to kill that fucker," Jorhorn said. "Having one dungeon to each one of us will increase our speed growth, so it is perfect… as long as he doesn't leave the central continent to make some inspections."

"I guess it makes sense," Ismenria said. "With our numbers, we can't protect six worlds from monsters forever. We will only be able to do that after increasing our numbers… and that will take a long while."

Repopulation… Leon felt like giving them a hand, but then he recalled that the holy sword lost its edge, and he didn't have time to fool around in other worlds. Besides, leave some kids behind who would never know their father was something Leon didn't want to do. Putting those thoughts aside, Leon finally understood why Jorhorn was so cautious. Conquering that world first and slowly was necessary because he wanted to build the strength of the group. Once they defeat one of the six enemy generals, the others would probably find a way to come and attack them. They were doing things slowly, in order to succeed in case that happens.

"Well, I probably won't have a dungeon by myself, but I will make good use of them when I obtain the opportunity. It is not like they can stay awake forever, after all."

Although Leon wanted Volt's power, it was better if he stays grinding in a single dungeon until the teleportation tome appears on the dungeon shop, or a similar skill appears, or until Leon collects enough mana using Soul Eater and he builds a telescope powerful enough for him to see Earth.

"For the time being, we will strengthen ourselves for one month," Jorhorn declared. "Until we collect enough mana to let us go all out for several hours, we will stay hidden, killing the angels that may appear and the fire earthworms."

"Isn't it dangerous to wait for such a long time?" Alurelle asked. "We destroyed their base on the southern continent, even though you tried to hide any traces of the battle using earth magic, that guy will certainly be suspicious if he hears about it."

"Even if he suspects of our existence, he can't confirm it," Jorhorn said. "Besides, we are well hidden in here, and we will keep our eyes on the angels' movements. We just have to keep training and adapt our plan if something happens."

Leon would have one month to grind his skills and obtain some extra status points… Although, as much as he wanted to keep improving his telescope, it was better to level up his offensive skills. He needed the power to clear the dungeons of that world with ease. Although he probably could kill the monsters there using Magma Spear, he couldn't use that against every single monster. Besides, he also needed to create magic items using their spirits.
