112 Chapter 111 (1/2)
After hearing Leon's crazy plan, Betty couldn't help but frown. He explained to her that he obtained the power to deal with megalodons while he was on the island, but she still couldn't imagine that.
”I knew you were a talented magician and that we would use your skeletons as a diversion, but...” Betty furrowed her eyebrows. ”Can you really do those things?”
”Yeah, it took a while, but I obtained the power to defeat hundreds of the king of the seas,” Leon answered. ”And like I said, I'm still improving. However, I can do that much, just fine. The problem will be to convince the other six.”
”I'm the captain; they will obey me,” Betty said. ”However, you will have to show them that, or they may think that you will lure them into a trap.”
”If you think I should, then I will show them,” Leon said. ”But are you sure we can trust them?”
”Like I said, Leon, we are doing this kind of work to help the citizens of our nations,” Betty answered. ”Those guys are my friends, I know their families and I worked with them for months. They can be trusted.”
”... All right then.” Leon said.
Although Leon easily trusted Betty, it would a long time for him to trust her teammates. He knew her very well, and by looking at her in the eye, Leon was sure that her essence didn't change. But he couldn't read strangers like that, so he decided to be careful. The best option would be to use them as a diversion, and only Leon and Betty would steal the relic, but things could go wrong if they were alone. If they get surrounded, they would have no choice but to fight. So, to avoid any deaths, Leon decided to let them tag along.
Leon's plan was simple; he would spend two days creating skeletons knights. Without sleeping, he would be able to create six thousand skeletons, and those would attack Rome from two sides. That would be enough for the diversion. Meanwhile, Leon, Betty, and the others would invade Vatican City by the skies. That was why Leon spend the rest of the afternoon, making Betty and the others levitate using earth magic. It was very annoying to reveal the things he could do to strangers, but it was in order to avoid deaths, so it couldn't be helped. After convincing that he could make everyone cross Rome while flying and avoiding detection, they agreed to the change of plans.
”I can't believe you have so much mana to do something like this for so long,” Betty said while she was floating in a chair made of earth.
”Well… I trained my earth magic a lot. Besides, the more intelligence you have, the more powerful and efficient your mana becomes.” Leon explained.
