Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path 222 Chapter 221

Two months pa.s.sed since Eadmung contacted Leon and three since he came to that world. Nothing happened while Leon was waiting for the information he wanted, Eadmund knew that Leon didn't like to waste time with idle-chat, so he didn't say anything to him aside from the usual greetings. The people of the village got used to Leon's presence, but since he always focused on his training, no one approached him to talk either.

"I can finally see the botton of my stock of dragon hearts… it is a pity that I won't be able to keep increasing my status just eating, but I'm glad… because I'm sick of this meat."

Everyone likes pizza, but no one could endure eating pizza ten times a day for three months… Dragon hearts were also tasty, but Leon felt that after eating so much the same thing for so long, that gra.s.s would be even tastier because his stomach was desperate for a change.

Anyway, after resting for a while in the village, Leon was readying himself to continue his training routine when he saw those four guys who were with Eadmund the first time Leon saw him. It looked like they finally obtained the information necessary for Leon… but Leon decided to wait for them to give their report to Eadmund. After a while, Eadmund finally called him, but he was making a complicated expression.

"What's wrong?" Leon asked.

"I think we have a solid plan for you." Eadmund rubbed his chin. "However, there a few problems."

"It would be weird if you guys didn't find any problem." Leon shrugged. "Just tell me them."

"First of all… the people above upgraded the security of some places." Eadmund sighed. "To access those places, you will need a keycard, but also a genetic identification of someone who accesses that place. The security system can confirm if the people are alive or not… so you will have to take a hostage and use that person while keeping her alive."

"I imagine you have a list of targets that I can use for that," Leon said.

"Yes��� the problem is, almost all of them are troublesome opponents." Eadmund said. "I can sense that you got stronger over the past months, and while I think you can defeat a few of them, I don't think you can do it in a… quiet way."

Leon nodded; in the end, the only skills he could use without making much noise were Telekinesis and Gravity because those couldn't be seen, and they could only be felt when their effects were already on use. If Leon tries to use a magic projectile, he was quite sure most people in the city above would react because they also probably had Mana Dominion. In the worst-case scenario, they would even block the projectile using Mana Armor or Mana s.h.i.+eld. Although those spells could weaken Telekinesis and Gravity, it couldn't nullify them.

"The building you are looking for is the magical research center, a place where numerous experiments are held every day." Eadmund explained. "As you can imagine, only recognized researchers and soldiers could enter and leave the place whenever they wanted because of their vast amounts of mana. All citizens can a.s.sess the information on some types of magic, but the ones you are probably looking for aren't. To make matters worse, if you take any device with you to inside the building, the security system will lock the place for several hours, and only the director of the place can unlock the building after that."

"What more?" Leon asked.

"... What I mean is, every single guard, researcher, and soldier who works there, has a vast amount of magical knowledge and mana." Eadmund said. "You won't be able to knock them out. Besides, they will notice your presence the moment you approach. After a while, we finally found a suitable target. The problem is, while she is weak in terms of offensive magic, she has Telepathy, and it is at a high-level. The director uses her to organize the files of the building and to pa.s.s information to the frontlines."

"I see… so I have to find a way to make my presence disappear and find another way to stop her Telepathy." Leon said.

"That is right…" Eadmund sighed. "I'm almost sure the people of magical research center already found a way to nullity some skills like Telepathy, but…"

"It is well-hidden inside the building…" Leon added. "Well, maybe I should kidnap her and obtain the information I want."

"That is not possible." Eadmund shook his head. "While she has access to the files and pa.s.ses messages to the frontline with vital information about the magic that can help them, they erase her memory after she leaves the building. So, she doesn't remember anything she does inside the building."

"That is…" Leon frowned.

"You can't expect much reason from the people above," Eadmund said. "Those people chased us out to this place without flinching because we didn't want to follow their path, after all."

Leon sighed… once again, he found that he needed new skills. He had already imagined that he would need some skill that would cancel the effects of magic and mana that was on his list of things he intended to learn at some point in time. But, then again… he had no idea how to do that.

"… I just leveled up all my spells past level ten, and I was thinking of learning new ones… but I guess I will have to stop everything and focus on learning how to nullify magic. What a pain…"

As if learning wasn't troublesome enough, Leon was fully aware that he would have to learn a spell that would nullify all magic effects within a certain radius. He didn't learn a single Area of Effect spell yet, and he would start learning one that would cancel his advantage as a mage…
