51 Chapter 50 (1/2)

Leon didn't want to solve all their problems, but they were partners, so they had to help each other. However, he couldn't take any chances and lose the few allies he had in that country. Ren and his soldiers were the only things between Leon and the Emperor's executioners, so he decided to go to the other world alone.

”Stay here; I will do this.” Leon declared, and then he started to make a steel armchair and a spear.

”No, we can't let you do the dangerous part alone.” Ren stepped forward.

”Dude… do you want to die without even learning a single spell?” Leon asked. ”How did you manage to survive until now without realizing the difficulty of the situation?”

”… A lot of people died watching my back.” Ren hesitated. ” I can't stand back and watch my allies dying in front of me anymore. I have to protect what remains of my honor!”

”What are you? A samu… ah, you are samurai.” Leon frowned. ”Let's do this… if I don't return in ten seconds, you guys can touch the crystal and help me, all right?”

Ren didn't like that, but just like Leon did, he had to compromise. Even if it was Leon, it was hard to believe that he could go to another world, kill a single boss where dozens of them were probably around and return that fast. In the end, Ren nodded, and after forging the armchair and spear, Leon touched the crystal and disappeared.

Ren started to count, and before his count could reach six, he moved his hand toward the crystal, but then he retreated when he saw Leon reappearing on his right side. Leon was blue, covered in snow, and impaled on his spear there was a giant head. A head that was one meter tall, long and wide. Ren could easily imagine the size of such a beast, and it was at least six meters long.

”… Don't you know how to count?” Leon asked while trembling like a leaf.

”Are you all right?” Ren asked, surprised.

”No, I'm not all right… I just came from a frozen hell,” Leon moved his hand upward. ”Move away a little bit.”

Ren and soldiers obeyed the command, and then Leon created a Fire Ball above his head to warm his body. The snow melted, and little by little Leon recovered his color, despite the power of his flames, not a single inch of the cave melted.

The other world was white, Leon' didn't see anything aside from snow and dark clouds. As soon as he appeared, a massive beast attacked him, but he dodged the attack and shot a Magma Spear. His attack melted the body of the creature, almost instantly leaving only the head behind. Leon impaled the monster's head with his spear and was about to return when he saw a blue amulet neat the head. After picking up that, he returned.
