119 Chapter 118 (1/2)
After four years, Leon finally learned what the skill Rage could do; essentially, it raised his strength, speed, endurance, and health at the cost of his mana, intelligence, mentality, and dexterity. The higher the level, the more his physical attributes increased, and the more his magic attributes decreased. For someone like him, who used magic to do anything, it wasn't very efficient. However, during the whole trip to Las Vegas, the skill leveled to the level seventeen, and now Leon was considering that using that and let loose once in a while wouldn't be so bad.
Two days later, Leon and Beth finally reached Las Vegas. However, only Leon went to Amanda's home since the moment the chopper stopped working; it would become visible. Leon arrived in the middle of the night, but surprisingly, Amanda and Hector were awake and working. It looked like they were revising some sort of plan.
”Leon? Thank God you are finally back!” Amanda ran and hugged Leon.
”Hey, long time no see.” Leon's anger instantly disappeared. ”I bought you a present.”
”… Where did you get such a bow?!” Amanda asked, her eyes were wide open after seeing the stats of the bow.
”I borrowed from the Vatican City,” Leon said. ”Come to think of it; it is not a present since I have to return it…”
Hector and Amanda looked at Leon while frowning; it looked he did something unbelievable and was treating it like a joke.
”Sorry, there is no time to explain,” Leon said. ”You will use that to defeat the demons.”
”Is that the relic I heard about?” Hector asked. ”It is exactly what we need since we are preparing the city against the invasion of the demons, but…”
”So, they are already coming to this place…” Leon said.
”Yeah, Houston has fallen,” Hector explained. ”The regular citizens managed to escape a few of them came to Las Vegas, but 80% of the soldiers there perished.”
”Is that so… even though we hurried…” Leon sighed. ”Well, with this bow, you guys should be able to repel them for a while. I intend to help eventually, but I need to solve some things.”
”Did you already solved that problem?” Amanda asked.
”Not yet, only half of it,” Leon answered. ”I know that you guys are busy, but you need to come with me. By the way, did you guys receive some message or visitor from New York?”
”No, why would we receive them?” Hector asked.
”Well, I guess I will explain along the way,” Leon said. ”I also brought someone who will help you guys in my place for the time being. Let's see her, but first.. is there someone here who can look after Maya?”
”Don't worry; Sasha is sleeping in her room,” Amanda said.
