405 Chapter 404 (1/2)

”As expected, the difference between humans and animals is the clothes... and the brain... and the fact that we do many shitty things.”

Although many people got surprised when Leon suddenly appeared, no one looked at him as if he was some sort of weird creature. The clothes really do make the man... Leon ignored the stares and just walked around the city since a spherical magic barrier was protecting the city; every single meter was being well-used. There was a limit of how the city could grow, and it looked like it already reached that limit since Leon couldn't see cars or any vehicles.

”Come to think of it; those are pretty much useless now...”

Although Leon couldn't see any vehicles, he could see several points being monitored by soldiers. When he approached, he felt the mana similar to the places when he created a Checkpoint. Most likely, those Checkpoints would move the inhabitants of that city to the dungeons of the world without being noticed by anyone or anything.

The city was five kilometers long and wide, Leon didn't see any signboards with the name of the place, but it wasn't necessary. Despite everything, that was just a hideout. It wasn't their home... While Leon was thinking about that, he saw Hector approaching. Probably some of his soldiers recognized Leon by his presence instead of his appearance, and that was why he decided to come.

”Hey... you really came,” Hector forced a smile. ”Sorry for before... we treated you like a monster.”

”I can't blame you, I looked like a mess,” Leon said without looking at Hector in the eye. ”Anyway, you have a really nice place here. It is almost as good as Japan... you guys did well consider that you have to start from scratch.”

”Are you talking about the immortal empress?” Hector frowned. ”You talk as if you know her or saw her recently.”

”I know, and I visited her recently,” Leon said. ”It was thanks to her that I found you guys.”

”I see...” Hector hesitated. ”About what you said before... We feel like we knew someone called Leon before, but it looks like that was a long time ago. So, we...”

”Neither of you remember me,” Leon said. ”The same thing happened to Yuki and Ren... it doesn't surprise me all that much.”

”Yeah... so we knew you, but then you died or something?” Hector asked.

”Summoning, teleport, and time dilation...” Hector massaged his eyebrows. ”This is pretty difficult to digest.”

”I know, you don't have to worry about that,” Leon said. ”Putting that aside, it looks like Amanda and Maya are fine. You did well protect them.”
